FORBES ARTICLE: Destiny Must Truly Expand If It Wants To Survive

FROM FORBES: [url=http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2014/12/10/destiny-must-truly-expand-if-it-wants-to-survive/]Destiny Must Truly Expand If It Wants To Survive[/url] Looks like the complete lack of "expansion" in this expansion is getting some media attention. The focus of the article is essentially that the failure to include any major new areas to explore in the Dark Below will significantly reduce Destiny's staying power. Opening up new "zones" is pretty important for a game like this that is trying to encourage players to grind and play daily. Discuss... EDIT: Glad to see there is some good debate going on in here but just to be clear for those unwilling to sit down and read through the full article, this isn't a case of someone who hates the game explaining why it is bad. The author clearly loves a lot about the game and he's giving what I believe to be a rather spot-on analysis of the current expansion and the problems Bungie might face in the road ahead if they choose to stay the course . EDIT 2: Before the expansion launched I brought up the possibility of opening up the VOG as well as the Jovian Complex and Seraphim Vault within patrol to help (artificially at least) expand the world and spice things up. After running into the same wall that I always do in Bunker RAS-2 on patrol, it appears they have chosen to keep what precious few new environments they DO have away from those in free-roam who are looking for a change of pace during bounties. That thread can be found [url=http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/83257585/0/0/1]HERE [/url]. EDIT 3: With the weekly Deej update incoming, I think it would be wise on Bungie's part to begin laying out, in concrete terms, what we can expect from House of Wolves and whether or not a true "expansion" to our Guardian's world is on the horizon in some form. Communication is key here since a lot of these complaints and concerns crop up because vague promises like "new adventures are on the way" become meaningless and don't help players decide whether to move on or to stick with the game. EDIT 4: Some more negative mainstream media attention has cropped up over at CNET. Discussion on that article can be found [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/83781927/0/0]HERE[/url]

  • It's so -blam!-ing funny how the whole (gaming) world sees the issues Destiny has except Bungie. The Forbes & CNET article together with many others and the gamers who are playing the game are all spot on when it comes to describing the problems and shortcomings of Destiny and still Bungie continues to follow their own path. Just wait for Deej's weekly update, I'll bet you what ever you want it's going to be some bullshit again that has no relation to the questions asked or issues that need to be resolved. It'll probably say something about how -blam!-ing great we are as the community and how the certain devs are engaged on this epic journey to deliver this and that to us. Most of the dlc is already done, finished, nothing more to do. They are just waiting till march 2015 to release it. Same shit with this dlc, it was probably finished months ago.
