Ok guys, I had this crazy thought last night. If you read the header of this post, I'm sure you can guess what it is. Now if you ever played Borderlands, I'm sure a couple of you can see where I'm about to go with this. When the first Borderlands came out, the number one complaint of it was, and still is, the lack of story. The game play though however, was fantastic, the experience was to many unforgettable, and admittedly, the game addicting in often frustrating ways. It was a fun an thrilling game, yet it lacked in many ways. And upon beating said game, you were left with a sense of pride at finishing your journey, or just unfulfillment perhaps. You then had the option to continue the adventure, get better gear, and strive on, or drop it right there, and move on. Destiny is in many ways the same. I'm not gonna lie, the story isn't there, well, it's kind of there, but lets be honest, it's not the story we were expecting. You're a hero of light (Vault Hunter) off to find the darkness (vaults) and shoot things with guns. That's it, that's the story. Story get's a D+ at best, I get it. That's not what I'm defending here. I don't even think I'm trying to defend anything here. Yes, the story sucks in destiny, but the gameplay is amazing, it's slick and enjoyable and comfortable. The experience is grand, but not everyone feels that way. Destiny, like borderlands, is definitely better when you have friends to share it with, or when you can truly shine being a sole start. Also here's the thing, I see complaints all the time about the game, yet here we are all, still playing it. You can't deny the game is fun, it's interesting and amusing, and we all care for it. We want the best for this series, because it gave us adventures and travels that were incredible as is, but could be even more extraordinary with time and care. Bungie could have done better, yes, that's true, they absolutely could have done better, we expected better. But I refuse to look at a game with so much potential and be done with it, especially when I'm still enjoying every second of it. Back to the header, borderlands 1 was just as disappointing in ways, and just as thrilling in others. We then got Borderlands 2, which almost completely fixed all of said problems, and was a grand success, at least by critics and reviews. All because patience....and time, were given on accessing the potential of the game. This is a new IP, a new start, and a completely new series. Hopefully Bungie will learn from the criticism and complaints of Destiny, fix said problems in future releases related to the series, and continue to supports it's strengths. There's promise here guys. We may have not gotten what we expected, it may just be a shell of what it could have been, but there is promise. I want to support this game, and have faith in Bungie. Just because you have a rough start, doesn't mean you should give up right? We're Guardians of Light, If we don't have hope, who will? [b]UPDATE:[/b] All of you have very valid points and it was nice getting your feedback. I agree with alot of what you said and I am truly sorry if anyone thought I meant this as a insult to Borderlands. BL1 is actually one of my favorite games of all time. I just think most of us can agree that Borderlands 2 fixed some problems Borderlands 1 had, so here is hope that future additions to the Destiny franchise do the same.
