I've been trying to think of some witty way to reply to this.. but, I just can't. I don't care enough to write out some long-winded, drawn-out thing about this and that.. so, I'll make it brief. You played the game for a ton of time. Cool, that's great. But, if you knew you were going to end up hating it, and you could see the future, why did you bother? Why didn't you just find something else? Writing a forum post on Bungie.net, that's probably copied from that shithole Reddit, doesn't really help anyone's situation at all. It isn't [b]your[/b] game. It's Bungie's game. They worked hard to craft it, build it, and design it. All threads of this variety can be boiled down to the following: [i]"I played your game a lot, even though I knew I wasn't going to like it. This shit is a joke, so give me all of your held-back content, Bungie. Right -blam!-ing now before rivers of tears gush from my eyes."[/i] You don't know what they held back. Heck, you don't know anything - not even anything about how the DLC is going to turn out. There's so many people complaining about how the DLC isn't going to add very much content at all.. yet, we're getting several missions, a strike or two, a raid, and a TON of new stuff to wear. Plus, we're getting new Crucible maps as well. In the history of every other shooter ever, the most you get is new maps, and maybe new guns, with Battlefield as the only shooter to really add any new guns at all. I guess CoD adds a few from time to time.. but I don't play those recycled piles of yard trash. So, when compared to what I'd get for $20 in other games, I think that this is a decent deal and I'm pretty excited to make the purchase just before it arrives. Why? Because I like this game, and I think it's fun. I haven't had any other game hook it's teeth into me for a very long time. Since I'm here, though, and this post is turning out way longer than I intended, let's all take a step back and look at one other extremely noteworthy game that Destiny heavily resembles in world, design, and gameplay - PSO. More specifically, PSO Episodes 1+2. Even the plus version if you had it on Gamecube or Xbox. PSO is a very similar game - it starts you off by letting you select one of three core classes - the "Hunter," melee supreme - "Ranger," ranged weapon supreme - and "Force", space wizard supreme. From selecting a class, you select a race, of which there are several more - humans, space elves (Newmans), and Casts (robits). Sounds similar already, right? Well, it doesn't stop there. From a gameplay perspective, Phantasy Star Online places you on a colony ship - your old world was lost, and the people onboard have already founded a colony on a new planet with the help of an advanced party. When you arrive, however, the colony itself is in shambles and there's nobody around.. at all. They're all gone. From there, the game plays as follows: There are four core explorable areas - Forest, Caves, Mine, and Ruins. You can explore each area to kill enemies, break boxes, wander around and find loot. Loot is a big focus of this game, with your specific loot pool in each area determined by a value assigned to your character's name at the start. This forms their ID, which decides what drops you get from certain enemies, and how easily. Each area also has a boss, and the boss drops loot, obviously. Exploring the main areas and defeating the main bosses advances your story - but, you can also get missions from the Hunter's guild to get some money, learn more about individual NPCs and their stories, and things of that nature. PSO is one of the only games in my history of playing games, that ever hooked me forever and ever. And that was back before the days of Xbox live, and PSN - where I'd invite my friend over, and we'd play PSO for hours and hours, because it was fun and we loved to find loot, even if the game was highly repetitive in design. I feel the exact same way about Destiny. The world is colorful. I love being able to explore huge maps, put some bullets into some aliens, and just have fun at my own leisure - and it's even more fun when getting my hands on some phat lootz, I think it's wonderful. As a result, I'm going to buy both of the expansions, and whatever other DLC comes out of the pipeline. And I'm probably not alone, either. Bungie isn't going to hear your cries for free stuff, and they're not going to give you anything.. so, there's really no point in trying to whine about it. People will come, they will play, and they will be unhappy and probably leave - while other people will come, play, and enjoy, and probably stick around. That's just how it works. Me? I love this game, though. I think it's great, and awesome, even if it does feel somewhat repetitive at times.
