I'm Leaving, Here's Why.

I've been a fan of Bungie since Halo: Combat Evolved. I did not come in to this game expecting anything near Halo. For that, I was glad to see it was a fresh game with fresh scenery. Beautiful scenery. I heard all the complaints. Stale voice acting. Bad story. Boring/bored. And I defended this game that had such high expectations and large fan base, new and old to the genre. I'll still defend the fact that we had Peter Dinklage as a voice actor, and not Tyrion Lannister (all games will have a few bad lines). The themes and the worlds and the view was stunning and new. But they were backgrounds and I wish I could see more inside. I wanted to explore. Be a pioneer, like Bungie seems to have intended. I got bored, too. I leveled a few characters, deleted a couple for something new to try out. Three slots is too little. My biggest issue, though, is that they've sold themselves. I was offered Call of Duty opt-ins when I went to purchase my copy of Destiny. I didn't find it to be a big deal when they had DLC on the disc. It's always a work in progress, I thought. Knowing they have a ten year plan, and for 20$ per piece, I felt like I was betrayed. I understood the views then. I had may as well purchase the game again in ten years when it's all bundled together. I think the worst part was hearing that Playstation got something over Xbox. This isn't biased; I only own an Xbox One for Destiny now. The problem is that Diablo had the same problem, because Blizzard partnered with Activision as well. I think all of the problems stem from them with the companies they... infest. To think that I get less because I paid for a different system? There should be no difference. It's playing favourites, and as a customer I don't think that's fair, nor appropriate. I dearly hope Bungie steps up their game. I've followed them since Halo started, and I've played their other series since. To summon a cliche, I hope they get their soul back. I'm sure I've missed a few points, and I hope one day to be back, but for the moment I'm going to put Destiny away. I'll be watching news on the game. I hope most of my points have come off as objective reasoning. See you starside, Guardians.
