I am leaving. Goodbye
I traded this game back to gamestop for $43.50. Basically cut my losses, i dont feel too bad that this was $17 rental for me, i had some fun seeing what it was about but it's just not something im going to spend a lot more time with when Mordor, NBA2k15 and Assassins creed unity come out in the next month and half. this game was not compelling enough to earn more playtime over those newer games. I wasnt planning to buy the DLC (at least not after what ive seen with this game) and not having it likely makes the game far less playable (can only play with people who have the same version).
Not that i expect anyone to care about my decision, but i thought id post something here since i did try to get into this game and feel the pain of everyone who has poured their hard earned time and money into it hoping for something else. i did spend a decent enough amount of time with this game (60 hours, level 26 hunter) to feel like i have a realistic perception what it is. I wanted to like this game,. The whole combination of Mass Effect (my favorite series ever), Halo, and WOW is definitely appealing. Shooting the aliens was fun at first but it just got old without a real grasp for what they were. Destiny doesnt give me any reason to stay invested in the world. I dont know anything about the enemies other than they are trying to kill me and nothing is really explained. Grinding was starting to get old as there is only so many times i can reply the strikes, story missions, pvp, recycled boutnies, running around the last city, etc before getting bored with it (same areas just rehashed with twist). The game felt like it had a lot of potential if only some of the major game breaker issues were fixed. I was also offended that this game was released in this condition and with the (seeming) strategy to cut out half the game and make the customer pay for the rest through DLCs. I understand that is what some companies are doing nowadays and shame on me for thinking it would be any different here. Thankfully i dont have to go along with it now.
I wish you all the best with Destiny. Hopefully Bungie does start pumping out a lot more user requested fixes and new worlds to explore. i hope they really fill in a lot of the holes in the story with the DLCs and the final verson of the game in 6 months is actually a more intriguing one. I've went on long enough. I am leaving now. Goodbye.

2 RepliesSounds like you don't play with friends, so it makes sense that this game wouldn't be for you. You list all single player games as what you're going to be playing, so have fun by yourself. The content may be repetitive in Destiny, but playing with friends, the loot system, and progression of your character are what makes this game fun. I would have turned it in after a week if it weren't for playing with friends, and now I've caught the loot bug and can't stop thinking about that next piece. I am actually fine with the "broken" legendary engram stuff, since it makes engrams almost like gambling. It is much more exciting to bend over at the cryptarch and unexpectedly get a legendary from a legendary, or even an exotic from a legendary. People ridiculously expect to get full legendary and exotic sets less than a month after the game was released. The rarity of items gives some variety to the game so you don't end up with everyone wielding the same weapon/armor combo after 6 months because it is "the best". There will certainly be no Destiny 2 for me if they don't address the issues of this game, however. I'm a stickler for good (at least existent) stories with some semblance of character progression and plot.
