Watching this video gave me a nostalgia wave of how I felt when destiny was not out yet. When it was being revealed and teased. I was so excited for the places, the story. I wanted to explore hidden caves on venus, or delve deep into the buried city on mars to find lost treasures. I wanted to find derelict ships caught in the rings of saturn. I wanted to see how the factions were going to work, and hoped they would be interesting and have their own stories to tell. I wanted to find some epic gear and weapons, earned after a hard fight with a worthy enemy, or found in the deepest, darkest places. Honestly, as much as I play the game known as destiny now, it doesn't feel the same. I remember playing the alpha and the beta, feeling my excitement for this game, my hype, just evaporate away. All of the things I was looking forward to in the game, just were not there. It feels so empty, so lazy, so rushed. Whether or not content was cut, it FEELS like content was cut. Like everything was changed last minute. As much as I play it, I only play now to do the daily and/or the weeklies. Don't have 6 for the raid, and now I'm trying to level up my alt. The whole reason I play destiny now is to maybe get lucky and finally feel like I earned an exotic by defeating a difficult boss on a hard strike. But in the end, it would just be rng if I got an exotic from the nightfall. I don't like the feeling of getting exotics randomly out of a disco ball. The bounties are cool, but again, still kind of empty. And I would never have thought that I would have to buy exotics. That doesn't make me feel like I earned them. There is no incentive for me to do the faction stuff either. My favorite faction, osiris, isn't even in the game. And besides, there isn't any story behind the factions in game, how am I supposed to care about them? How am I supposed to care about the game and it's characters and loot, if the story and characters are either two-dimensional or nonexistent, and the loot is sheer dumb luck? How am I supposed to become legend? With luck? The only thing I feel that stays true to how I feel destiny is supposed to be is the raid. But even then, the story behind is in those stupid cards, not even in game really. I watch this video and remember how I thought destiny was going to be. I remember how excited I was. Now, I'm honestly pretty bored with it. I played the crap out of it, maybe searching for something to resurrect my hope in the game. But I didn't find it. Bungie if you read this, people just want to know what happened. You don't even have to be specific, just some acknowledgement that either yes destiny was changed prior to release, or no, this is how it was supposed to be the whole time.
