Destiny, your "quests" will always suck!

Your "quests" will always be merely shoot things and travel to the tower. I would be down with your searching steps on patrols, but those never have new, mysterious, or, most importantly, DANGEROUS (feeling) locations. Its only a room we never paid attention to before. Long story short, this update about quests from Luke Smith made me smile. I smile because it is such a wasted effort. You built a morpg around fps. Haha good luck ever having any true variety. Ultimately it all comes down to "how many times do I feel like shooting the same guy over and over again?" (Side note) there will never be any true danger or risk in destiny. Therefore, there will never be anything as truly rewarding as it could be. Edit 1: people mention other mmo's such as WoW. WoW has more to offer in that enemies you dispatch many times have unique drops and drop rates that have their own different values. Also, it is much more engaging because there is the possibility of death and resulting loss of gear. Not just a stupid chechpoint..

  • Really we are talking about attention to detail, about care for the game. I hate to always refer to the Witcher 3 cause this is definitely not that, however i feel like they can definitely learn from it because it could possibly be the best rpg ever made. Simple quests in that game that do not even really impact main story are well thought out they have great attention to detail. Its: Go to location , learn of a problem, have meaningful conversation with NPC/ quest giver go to location of issue gather info and make a plan to kill/ rid the issue, Prepare to execute plan and kill enemy/issue obtain useful gear, knowledge, item, return to Quest Guest Giver see, get another item or money and see small animation and have another conversation about the good of what you have just done and how it impacts the world. In the quest you feel frightened of the unknown, you don't know what is out there it may be something you have never seen before or are not equipped to handle you could die and there are consequences that impact others and your self based on how you handle the situation. One quest that just involves finding manuscripts had me travel across a content, sail to small separate islands and track the actions and footsteps of a character who had died long before the game began, there were puzzles there were enemies unique to the quest and areas there were specific effects in those unique areas, there were hidden items and treasure. No this not The witcher 3, this version of Destiny will never be that but the next one can be, we know its possible, we know a game can have incredible graphics, immersive, engaging story, balanced economics, tight combat, expansive open world full of npcs other players and quests that draw the player in and give them a sense of value and accomplishment were there are chances for great gain and loss. A game begging to be explored simply because it is too good to ignore, to not see what is behind every corner, too beautiful to not see every sight. True most MMOS do not have deep compelling quests but why would we limit our selves by comparing what Destiny CAN BE to what most games ARE, instead lets compare it to what it to what it MIGHT BE, to the future. Maybe at the time this was not possible for destiny( it definitely was) but now with the power of new gen consoles and the incredible resources Bungie has( more then most studios especially for this project) it is 100% possible to accomplish this. Doing so would show Bungie is dedicated to their fans, that they still want to be the studio leading the Video Game industry into the future, this would be that game we wouldn't complain (as much) about paying for, because we would have value for our dollars. Truly I want to see this franchise be the best ever because I don't know if another studio can accomplish it the way Bungie has the potential to. I love video games I always have but seeing a studio that I once held in high esteem push out a product that is far below what they are capable of is disappointing, seeing them ask for more money without delivering real quality is upsetting and watching them ignore (most) the complaints and and through out ( most ) the suggestions of their fans is heart breaking. The studio may create the game but the fans drive it, remember who send the pay check, remember who you do this for , remember what you made us feel, the wonder, the excitement, the anticipation, Brotherhood/Sisterhood, Joy and satisfaction. Bring it back! Bring life and integrity back to our industry. I thoroughly apologize for the ranting, I am just depressed by the scene of the industry today and I firmly believe Bungie has the power to take the Industry in the direction that it deserves, that it needs to go.
