Here be wisdom: if you’ve nothing nice to say, say nothing. 👈 OP et al: courageous for opening up about your individual situations…it’s all very relatable IRL for those with family and friends going through such challenges. R.E.S.P.E.C.T. 🤕 Manchildren / trolls: grow up. 🧐 Some other great games to consider: Quake 4 - there’s no one but the player…start on Easy mode, then try the other more challenging modes. It’s a lot of fun! But only Quake 4 ✅ Warframe (WF) - steep learning curve…play the way you want to play, eg, Free to Play - for grinders…or what I call the ‘Fast Pass’ option - for ‘whales’…or somewhere in between. Tenno (character) with sword (think Destiny opening mission re Khostov weapon) is the best starting option, imho. (MR 24 😎) On the current issue being hotly discussed in the Forum at large: I played through the campaign on normal mode, as usual, on my void lower tree Hunter - as usual, and for this old tortoise it was mighty confusing - the way the quests are structured; and seemed unnecessary overwhelming with hyper-aggressive and overtuned enemies that were attacking me nonstop from every quarter. 🧐 It got old…real quick. Also, the plethora of (what i term as) ‘Endgame Mechanics’ - was not fun. ❌ If there was a ‘puzzle solver’ to click, that would have helped. There’s a reason why I don’t do raids / dungeons / GMs…and ‘timers’ and jumping through countless ‘hoops’ are top of the page. I had to LFG that final boss part…otherwise, was solo all the way. All good! The final 12-man (no mics) mission was worth the grind up the mountain, imho. No spoilers…bring a hankie, though! 🙂 The ‘Pale Heart’ open world is a solo, ‘Patrol Lord’s’ delight…well, it was for a while…until it became tedious, tiresome and boring. The grind required to get stuff done for desirable loot is simply ridiculous…eg, Alone in the Dark quest - doing it once was enough…but repeating it multiple times to unlock another quest line - for the ship or something else, is not for this old tortoise! 😐 I love pootling about the amazing environments, collecting things, and doing the regional chests, etc., but…being constantly harassed from withering enemy fire with no let-up is a drag! ❌ So, I was slowly coming to the conclusion that this new style of Destiny is not for this old tortoise… I switched to my trusty old Titan…and thought I’d give Legend campaign a go…erm…nope! Too much…way too much. There was zero fun…and absolutely nothing that entertained - me. So, I switched to Normal mode and got past the veil, to start the campaign afresh…which I will do at a leisurely pace, as usual…and play the way I like to play! ✅ The furore re the new Exotic class item: well, what a step backwards that was for BHQ - after all the positive points gained with the 12-man finale mission!? The mind boggles - again!? 😵‍💫 How much goodwill has evaporated with that one ridiculous decision? Well done, Bungle! ❌❌❌ SMH 🙄 Where do I go from here? Well, I’ll pootle about for a while, as usual, then, as I’ve already ‘closed’ the Destiny original story down with that epic finale 12-man mission, I’ll quietly put this game to bed… The silken cord that binds has been well and truly severed. 😐 TLDR: 🥱 Just my 2d worth. YMMV Play fair! Play nice! Don’t be mean! 👈 Chins up, my fellow Guardians! 👍 Ease springs! 🫡
