It seems I'm having a very different experience with the game than most...

I'm a software developer in my 30s. I work all day, come home, hit the gym or go for a bike ride, make dinner, and take care of the dog. After dinner, I boot up the PS4, create a party with 4 to 6 of my friends... work friends, childhood friends, friends I've just met... We hop in a PS4 party, then we all load up the game. We battle through all of the game's missions together. We take on the strikes. We take on the queens wrath missions. We're working on building up our light levels. We do patrols and bounties, and we all enter the Crucible together. I am having an absolute blast playing Destiny with my friends. Maybe the difference is that I have a dedicated set of friends whom I can play the game with that make it so much fun, but reading through this board is very interesting to me. It seems that many of the people writing here are having a very different experience than I am having. Is it simply because I'm playing with my friends that I find what the developers at Bungie have given us so entertaining?

  • I’ve been going solo and really love this game. Best moments have been when I end up with really good teammates in Salvage where it seems folks are more prone to revive than other playlists. Even if we didn’t have mics (and even if they don’t answer a friend request, ahem) I felt a sort of camaraderie. I’m a casual player, father of four, don’t get that much time to play so I haven’t had a chance to get disappointed that I can’t get highest level and all exotics during these first 2-3 weeks. In fact, I levelled up too fast playing Crucible and doing bounties. I’m level 20 now and haven’t even finished the Moon. I’m on PS3 and am really enjoying myself. This game has everything I want in a game and as an FPS it’s very forgiving. There must be some kind of aim assist. Either that or I’ve gotten better (unlikely) It’s beautiful to look at, the controls are perfect, the story is not handed to you on a silver platter but rather something you piece together like IRL. The randomness of loot drops keeps it interesting and keeps me from getting discouraged in PVP. The companion app and the forum are near essential aspects as well. If you see any of my other posts you’ll get an idea about how I feel about all the negativity, but overall I’m really happy and looking forward to a long-term relationship with Destiny.
