"You may never finish Destiny."

quoted from deej himself. is he threatening my life or something? if not, can we please dispense with all the dopey pr stuff? it's great they have ambition, but there's no way this game will deliver on half this nonsense. it's becoming less of a tangible and more of a "feeling" passing into the ether. the only way this game has any chance to live up to this kind of hype is if it turns into jesus christ himself. "Here at Bungie, you don't finish our games. Our games finish you."

  • I can sort of see what Deej meant by never being able to beat the game, but there [i]will [/i]be a point when people decide to stop playing. There will be an end to the replay value, there will be an end to the consistency of delivering new content, there will be people saying "there's nothing to do". In a game like TESIV: Skyrim, there's what's called dynamic content. Sure you've done all the quests, but there's always one that will respawn and give you something to do, or there's someone who attacks you on the roads. That might not sound fun, but that's my point; the game may not end but the fun certainly can. I think the way a lot of people read the article is that the game is going to consistently deliver content, but if there's one thing I've noticed from the persistent online world game it's that's very rarely the case. Sure for a few months Destiny might bring patches and expansions, but then what? What will happen months down the line? Just because the content can't be completed, doesn't mean it should be strained for every bit of its worth when there's fresher games coming out that will be more appealing as I become more bored. What Destiny needs, as much as we all hate it, is some form of grinding to keep you occupied. Doing PvP will be fun especially when it's limitless, as will PvE content.... but there's no point where the game says "that's enough" and gives a satisfying ending. You'll just play until you get bored, and that might lead you to disappointment when playing in future and bitterness. I've seen this so much with MMOs and other 'online persistent world games' and I fear Destiny will be no different. Hopefully the reputations can keep people occupied enough before the new ones are added. I sure hope that Deej and his team can deliver on what they've said. The Destiny community has a fiery passion I've noticed, and woe betide Bungie should people be let down. I'm as excited for what Destiny will offer as the next person is, but I'm not niave enough to believe that there will be an end to the enjoyment to be had.
