What happened when I put Destiny down

After putting Destiny down for a few days to play some other old time favorites, I realized how uninterested I am in continuing to play this game, primarily due to its repetitive gameplay .And the only thing the DLC gave us was a small collection of new weapons and armor with a few so-call "story" levels. In my opinion, if there are no new cut-scenes, I don't consider that much of an expansion on the already near-non-existent story line. Bungie just gave us a few more things to do over and over and over and over and over and over again. The worse part was the fact that there was no point in aspiring for different weapons and armor from factions, when all you gotta do is play crota's raid over and over for all the best gear in the game. But what about exotics right? All I had to do was keep track of the day of the week, and skip around the tower looking for his next randomly chosen spot. I got just about every exotic I could ever want, just from a few bounties and regular visits at the Xur dentist. And let me tell ya, it wasn't hard. And nothing beats listening to the same unskippable diologue over and over again. The creators also failed to bring our characters to life in a colorful stroyline, as most MMO's would have done. I don't find it very engaging when I'm playing as a faceless, non-important, order-following drone that met the speaker one time and suddenly became his pet. I mean, even the story they did put together is just so vague. The Darkness? You know who I think the Darkness is? It's the Speaker. There is nothing but an empty void of nothingness hiding behind that mask, and he is pulling the strings on all sides of the galactic battlefield. But who knows, you need people who actually read the grims to tell you anything going on in the story. But anyway, just to end the rant because its a pointless one really, I would say put this game down for a while and try some games you used to love, and notice how much better other games really are. This game isn't the worst, but honestly, the only thing that keeps it going is by playing on your subconscious with "reward systems" and gambling. I'm sure a lot of the people that were a part of creating this game, had bigger things in mind for the players. But it's easy to tell how this game was spliced to pieces before it's release so Bungie could sell the fans pieces of the game that originally should have been in the released version. They gave us something small and repetitive, and through mainstream propaganda for a year, programmed us all to think this game was gonna be huge! So we all went out and bought it like good sheeple and have been playing the same levels ever since. I'm not saying it's all bad, it is fun, and could have been great! Sure pvp is fun, but good god it is just as repetitive. I think if they would have come out with the first two expansions already included, I would be typing a different critique. After looking into it, I'm pretty sure both the Crota's End and HOW expansions are actually two pieces that were meant to be a part of the initial release of the game. A lot of people seem to think they cut huge chunks out of this game to sell it back to the blissfully un aware fans they accumulate. --And yes, I'm still on the forums. Forums are for speaking your opinions and observations. Not just for die-hard fans. UPDATE: It's so funny how many people this is pissing off. And how much controversial attention this is getting. Cool that a lot of people see where I'm coming from. And u pissed off fans will thank people like me for putting the pressure on so you (hopefully) won't get scammed again.

  • Destiny is a game of addiction. once you realize it and break away you see how you were playing the game for rewards, not because it's just fun. the rewards don't even change much at all.... You convince yourself its worth it but ultimately you get it #xur and then you sit there and say uh.... Now what? I enjoyed the game but it's a game programmed to turn 8 hours of content into hundreds of hours. Gamers should feel insulted, it's built like a free to play game

      • LOL. I agree with you. I have put my time into this game, mostly PvE as I do not like this type of PVP. I am a BF player. Anyways, I put the game down about a month ago and went back to a FREE to play Warframe. It's like night and Day. Warframe is frigging awesome now. With each update, the DE guys tell you exactly what has changed, by how much, which weapons, which mods, card etc. Unlike the bunged gee retards, the DE guys are making Warframe better with each update. The bunged gee retards, destroy more and more of Destiny with each update. They are too driven on by the kinderguardins from COD who play Destiny and who moan about how everything is OP or it should be nerfed. Blah blah blah. I still do the Nightfalls just for a laugh, but that is it. No raids until HOW comes out

        • You're right. However, Bungie is perfectly timing their DLC releases. I think everyone is pretty bored right now and HoW is around the corner to pull everyone back in. Its a giant trap, I'm kinda glad i didn't buy the DLC. I don't feel forced to play this game anymore.

          • It's so true though. All I did was play this game and finally after over 600 hours I don't even feel like playing it anymore. All I need is ghorn and thunderlord and imo it's not worth it for me to go grind for another 200 or more hours for one gun at a time. I picked up the handsome collection and boy am I glad. I tried to get into bl2 on the 360 months ago and just couldn't bc destiny was still the best thing ever to me. Now I absolutely love bl and don't even want to think about coming back to destjny. Even though I bought how, I don't even know if I'll play it and if I do, it will be casual gaming only. And I feel bad for the people like me who put in as many or more hours into this game and still somehow love it to death. You guys are brainwashed I was too but I got out of it. This game won't change. Maybe destiny 2 will be better and hopefully they learn from there terrible mistakes, but as of now I'm not playing it anymore.

          • The dumbest thing about all these rants is that they never mention anything regarding the actual purpose of an FPS in the first place. The reason I love Destiny and every FPS game Bungie has created is because their shooting mechanics are beautiful and in a league above any other company's, that is it. Nothing else matters more in an FPS. Whatever else gets your tampon soaked means nothing to me. You can't argue the shooting mechanics, so please start a diary about how you can't reconcile a now past addiction for a game you played for the wrong reasons in the first place.

              • I understand what your saying about the repetitiveness, and the lack of content. But I mean c'mon, look at CoD franchise and how successful it is/was. There's nothing more repetitive then that. All you could do is play pvp, all day everyday. And the dlc's always gave you, what, 4 shitty extra maps lol. Atleast with destiny, you can play pvp and pve stuff.

                  • No doubt man you put it perfectly. I haven't even been playing for long and I'm already running out of things to do. I haven't done anything new for a long ass time. The game really does feel that way. There's no soul. There's no creativity. The art is GORGEOUS but that's just because it's the easiest thing to sell. Everything about the design of the game lacks passion.

                  • Also, how am I a sheep or getting scammed if it's something I enjoy? I'd like a serious answer to that. If I enjoy a game, I'm a sheep? Pretty childish way of thinking. That's what's wrong with the world today. People think because they don't like something, you shouldn't like it either
