Honest question. If you can't respond in a rational, intelligent manner, just please close the thread and move on. Not trying to rip on the game or start some petty arguments. ---------------------- Let's just take what we know about the game so far. Here we are in Y2 and we just got news that the "plan" has changed. Bungie diverted from the "2 small + 1 big paid DLC" model, to the "1 big paid DLC + small events peppered in + micro transaction" model. I don't have the link handy, but it was well documented by Eurogamer and Kotaku that this is indeed the plan, at least for year 2. I don't foresee this as a good long-term plan, unless, starting with Destiny 2, the yearly mega add-one are massive. And I mean really meaty and bursting at the seams with content. Like what Vanilla should have been before they cut a $60 game into pieces and sold it for $140. Honest question: how many of you can hang in there playing KF and the current content as the meat of your Destiny experience for another 9-10 months? We are not even 3 months into TTK and I've already been cheating on Destiny with lots of other games. In Y1, I didn't stray from Destiny at all. How about the rest of you? If it stays this way, will not be sustainable for the hardcore gamers. Even the most hardcore Destiny fan can admit that the game we thought we were getting last year and the game that launched weren't even close. It was a skeleton of what it could have been and what we thought it was going to be. I believe a lot of us play now just in hopes that they will "turn it around" and the game can reach its full potential. Terrible launch, terrible first DLC, lackluster 2nd DLC, and now TTK. TTK seemed to be getting things back on track, but now we hear that it's all we have for substantial content for a year. If that's the case, I think it won't be enough. Unless Bungie has some real big tricks up their sleeve with what their LiveTeam is working off. Seems to me that Destiny was originally advertised and promoted as the badass-est of all the badass games, and the business model right now is "do as little as possible and squeeze as much money from your playerbase as possible." This does not seem like a good path to be on. Fact: Bungie hired psychologists to get an understanding of how addiction works in order to get people addicted to their product. It has been documented in the media by several sources in the past. Of course this whole thing is subject to change based on what the rest of Y1 brings us, and what Destiny 2 looks like. I just fear the current arc of the game is not a good one, especially when you look back on how freakin' awesome vanilla Destiny was advertised to be prior to launch. When we look back at D10 (if it makes it that far), what will its legacy be? I am not talking about financial success. I am not interested in the number of people that Bungie got addicted to their game by hiring psychologists to understand how addictions work and feeding off that. I'm talking about a deeper measure of success / failure here. Sorry for wall of text. Thoughts?
