For me Destiny changed my whole gaming world, after buying the other 3rd (played beta) and not bieng type that adds friends willy nilly, i considered deleting it, after getting as far as i could back then, if only i'd of just bought a disc and not went and got digital gaurdian ed, ps4 one as well which was £85, but there really wasn't much else around and thought of just losing out on that amount, well, it kept me playing, now IF £85 over my gaming times was all's i'd of felt i lost, (if only) then i'd just be stupid, but it was first 'sting' on 'new gen' that followed (way too) many others from previous.. the proverbial straw.. so i heard about Acti's and Bungies plan of having Everyone playing this, so when you switch on console all you see is all friends playing Destiny, probobly all the time thier on.. decided i was going to do this instead of deleting/moving on and have played Destiny non stop ever since.. some days i have had very good xp's, most days not, it's 'enough' just, to stop me from persuing what was a very expensive hobby, buying games, used to buy games on a whim, not play em due to not enough time and trade em back for peanuts, if at all but i enjoyed it, that was a hobby and hobbies mostly cost cash.. what i hated was games i had eye on Not bieng 'as advertised' like Destiny.. can't say IF it'd of been a ps3 purchase i'd of just bitten tongue and stopped playing.. i think as it was ps4/new gen (kind of) i actually said I Am NOT Taking THIS No More... so i played the game, both that is, Destiny and Destiny's 'vision'.. ie to have players constantly online so friends would see em allways playing Destiny, perhaps thinking 'man that must be awesome' am happy to say since i done that i'd say i must of saved over a thousand pound easy, because i play it 'thier way' i just can't go and buy anything else, i mean i Have to play Destiny Every waking (gaming) hour, don't i?.. so i just can't go spend my cash on any other game.. at first i missed handing my money or card over at games shops, withdrawal symptoms were real, i'd pass one and out of habbit go to walk in, sometimes before entering i'd realise the futility, other times not, so if i'd find myself inside these dens of virtual inequities i'd be very tempted to buy, especially when there'd be half price sales on etc.. but i stayed strong, kept my footing and true course and walked out, wallet unopened.. the guys at my prefered outlet went from having welcoming looks on faces, to kind of confused/scratching heads and finally my 'memory' left em.. now these were guys that'd 'slip me' a game a few days before release, even a almighty CoD game one time, while most were queing up for a midnight launch i'd already have my copy.. thats not because i'm likable, merely because i was a massive spender, am sure theres many others that've had similar treatment, anyway all that is now in the past, i'm now game free since Destiny and my finances have improved quite a bit.. all thanks to this game bieng made in way it was. i mean it was just good enough to keep playing, so i played it and nothing else, i sometimes wonder how/if psn or activision react to similar (if any) tales like mine, i mean they (psn) also must of noticed my drastic drop in buying stuff just constant playing of Destiny instead.. i know i know, i'm but a fraction of a percent in scheme of it all.. imagine though if i was one of those they have as a 'figure' in thier fact sheets or whatever they are named.. or indeed IF theres others that have done same as me, even if not for same reasons... thats just about only thing that brings a smile to me, is thought of some excec's at acti looking at general gaming sales/time games are played and have seen that yes, they have made X amount monies from way they bastardized Destiny, But profits from other projects actually amount to a forecasted loss... lol IF so then that could explain why there going banana's with TTK both US cost but, worse the crap they've pulled with EU pricing.. so i will throw my few quid at tv screen, for destiny, God knows it's saved me enough that I won't miss it, guess it's love hate thing, sometimes it's love, unfortunately mostly it's love to hate.. the above might well be a wall of buthurt text to some, one thing it also is, is truth.. make of it whatever, i'm past point of giving 2 vindaloo's.
