College graduates, Older Gens, Speak up

I was planning on posting this link as well. Listen, it is not slander first of all to that guy that said that above. It's a "feedback" forum. It's an opinion and feedback is inherently negative and positive so saying this is slander regardless of the truth behind it is ridiculous. I think a major point that this guy makes in his video that is brushed over is the age of players that games like this attract. I don't know about all of you but I am a college graduate and I play with my friends that graduated college with me. Somewhere along the line of my gaming life I became attracted more to games that require thought and strategy in achieving something. I became proud of the effort and time I put into a game to become a better player. This game was advertised as just that, a puzzle with infinite solutions. An endless environment with an ever evolving story. [b]This game and games like this draw a crowd that enjoys using their brain to solve and explore. This game is tailor made for an older generation.[/b] With that being said, the actual game that was released is most definitely without a doubt geared toward a younger crowd in order to maximize revenue. The caps are in place, in vanguard and crucible alike, to allow the younger generation of gamers to be successful in a world amongst many who take their games seriously. I have a full time job, a college diploma, a house, bills, and not much free time and the time I do have I spend on destiny. It is a serious let down that my hard earned money was spent on a game that does not allow me to use my brain to it's fullest extent when that was it's original intention. $60 is no small chunk of change when I have bills rolling in every time I turn around. The issues are more than just content. It is an issue of geopolitics and economics that led to this game letting many people down. I hope people take this seriously because games like this draw millions of dollars from dedicated gamers that deserve a company and a game that adheres to us that want to feel like our money was well spent. Edit: I am not trying to knock the younger gen gamers here. I am trying to say that the issues in this game are far more than just a lack of content. My point was that as an older generation of gamers we have the ability to express our concerns with a $60 purchase besides just saying "this game sucks and screw bungie" The issues are far beyond a story that lacks substance. The issue is that I can play this game with little or any mental stimulation besides good graphics and music. I want missions that require time and thought. Gear that must be worked towards over time. Not an exotic chest armor for killing a level 7 dreg 100 times. Edit #2: Regarding the few people that are responding with things like, stop whining and younger kids are better than older gamers. Just stop nobody on this post is even trying to insult anyone or say one gen is better than the other. Nobody is whining. Nobody is saying destiny blows. I am not saying $60 is a stretch or too much money. $60 is $60. Ok? It's not a million but it is $60 nonetheless. This game was supposed to be "groundbreaking", "innovative", the "evolution of gaming". Would you call it any of those things? I like this game. I have gotten tons of hours of enjoyment out of it. Would I say I got as much enjoyment as I expected after a month of playing? No not quite. I will continue to play this game. Spoiler Alert: I will be buying the DLC. I love getting flamed for posting feedback of my own opinion on a Feedback forum. Of all the posts on this forum I would still have to say I have seen better written and well thought out posts on here then on many others so were doing something right.

    I didnt read everything I just swiped my eyes over the essay lol but why are you only focusing on the age group attraction of the game, dude the whole msg is that bungie is cheating on us, and that we should draw the line. Dont buy the map packs, their trying to milk us from something we should already have since its on the hardcopy already, theyre trying to make us pay for something we already paid for! BS Bungie dont be a bitch just because your boss asks you to be one. Man up and give us what we paid for.
