I appreciate your perspective on these things, sir. Too often people jump to conclusions and begin whining before asking questions or giving critical thought to why the developer is making a certain decision. I'm not sure many will read every word you have here, but I wish they would because people need to open up their minds every once in a while. [quote] But if a Game Designer places obstacles in the path of the player, then several solutions will arise that solve that problem, some better than others, and the playerbase will begin to diverge. When enough obstacles are introduced, the journey that any individual player takes to reach the goal will be radically different from everyone else's.[/quote] Referring specifically to the quote above, I couldn't agree more. Bungie has done a fantastic job in the past of balancing two extremes: restriction and player creative freedom. They have given players freedom where it is needed most (forge, custom maps, armor, titles) while giving restrictions that keep the game fair and enjoyable. I have no doubt that Destiny truly will redefine the FPS genre once again!
