No, I don't want to play with any of you! Go away!

When I get a new game, the first thing I touch is campaign. I even buy Call of Duty games (well, not anymore because the series is stale) for the campaign, not the multiplayer. I love stories and... well yeah. I just adore campaigns. And every game I touch, I go in solo. I play it the first time myself so I can take my time and enjoy the little things. I can fully experience whatever I want to look at, find things myself, not have people talk over cutscenes (or worse- accidentally/ intentionally SKIP them), and I can enjoy the game before I take it on with friends. But with Destiny, it sounds like this game is one you CAN'T get the most out of if you are by yourself. In fact, the game actually improves drastically with additional people according to what we've seen and been told. So I can't help but wonder... will I be able to do this? I don't think, looking at it, that I'll be able to play my first time by myself. Either other guardians will arrive out of nowhere, or I'll miss out on most of what the game has to offer. And I would much rather play with friends I know than random people my first time through since I trust them more not to skip over things. Really I just think the fundamental difference in how I will be able to experience my first time in the game is fascinating. Do any of you typically play by yourselves the first time through? Have any of you actually thought about what you're going to do when you get that game? We all have crazy ideas of what Destiny has to offer, and I'm sure many will be dispelled, added to, and new ones will emerge come Monday. But before a few minutes ago I can't say I have ever actually thought about, 'How do I want to go into this game that is intended for multiple people?' Typically I don't like playing with people my first time through a game. But then... it sounds like I have to, here. And I don't mean 'have to' as a negative. I think it's fascinating that the game is 'better' with more people. So yeah. Thoughts? How do you guys typically play your game first time through? What are you going to do when you get Destiny? Play with random people that pop into your world? Get a group of friends? Do you already HAVE a group of friends? I'm sure I'll see some of you in game regardless!

  • Nice point and must agree some of the important parts are likely to be ruibed by other player interference. Still i beleive it is playable solo as jason jones son played it offline when maintenance was occuring.
