That pretty much sums up everyone playing Destiny, every gamer has or will experience the following 8 steps Destiny. 1. You start out in love with the game, leveling is fun, each area is fun, you are finding new gear at the perfect pace, at the end of your first day playing you have completed three and a half planets. You know you are barely scratching the surface of Destiny you are excited to see the rest of the game and what the next couple of weeks have to offer you! 2. To your surprise you find out on day two that you had half a planet to finish before you finished the game. Kind of odd but you remember Bungie saying you will never finish the game so there must be a TON of end game content. By now you have fully upgraded your character's first class and you are starting to work the sub-class which is awesome! 3. By the end of day 2 you have literally done everything in the game but the Raid and Nightfall strike. You are starting to get bored but you refuse to admit it, holding out hope for VoG and Nightfall once you get the equipment to level up with. You hear VoG is amazing and are wondering if Nightfall will be a unique experience. You can't wait! 4. Days go by, you have a few pieces of gear that have light on it from your class vendor, the only way to get better is to buy from Xur so your time is now spent trying to hunt down Strange coins. Gear advancement has ground to a halt, you have fully leveled your subclass so no character advancement is taking place. You realize at this point turning on Destiny feels more like a chore than a video game, but you refuse to admit this to yourself or everyone else so you start tossing out the "10 year plan" in defense of the game. Every time you write about the 10 year plan you feel a little sick to your stomach but you think you are just missing something in Destiny. All will be revealed! 5. A week is now gone, you have completed the VoG, you found out to your disappointment that Nightfall was a recycle of the same strikes you have played hundreds of times, your favorite gun that you spent hours getting from Xur just got nerfed, you have found several areas fully developed that in the game at at launch and you can't bring yourself to turn the damn thing on. You are now being told you have to pay for the privilege of unlocking content already on your disk and you are finally heartbroken. You express some concerns on the forum and are instantly met with rabid fanboys that attack you like a pack of hyenas defending Destiny at all costs. Now that you are not supporting Destiny you are the enemy and how dare you not blindly love the game regardless of its flaws. 6. You are now two weeks from the purchase of Destiny, all you can think about is the wasted potential. You spend more time watching the old Destiny videos wondering what happened to this, or what happened to that and how the game turned out to be this vacant hollow shell of what it was than you do playing it. You have read the game tester post from reddit multiple times, you imagine that version of Destiny and can't help feeling bitter and ripped off. 7. Week three you are done with Destiny, you only come to the forum to express your anger and frustration and everything that Bungie does at this point is a slap in the face. You regret purchasing the version of Destiny that came with the season pass and wish you had a time machine to go back and save yourself the $100. 8. You move on to some other game and at this point you feel so jaded you are rethinking the entire idea of pre-ordering games and refuse to buy a season pass again.

    Other than the season pass part you pretty much nailed it. Doubled the sting when the game I moved onto was Warframe which I am now constantly kicking my ass I didn't check out before, especially given just how much Destiny ripped off from it, and how much better Warframe pulls it off. The ultimate nail in the coffin was watching those devs push a patch to fix a bug that existed for less than 4 hours at midnight 30 on a Friday night. That next Tuesday Destiny finally released a "patch" that caused more problems and ruined their raid while continuing to make false promises. By that time the Warframe devs had released another FOUR patches each one fixing a page or more of random misc bugs and adding/tweaking more content, including a few buffs for the players.

  • Yep, they had a budget of 500 million dollars and instead of the game getting better since launch it is actually worse. I don't get it.

  • Yep. This pretty much exactly.
