I have been gaming since Infidel, Ultima, Island of Kesmai, etc....Long before most of you were born. In fact, I have shoes that are older than most of you. I have played hundreds, if not thousands, of games, including almost all of the major game franchises on all of the major game platforms. Not bragging. Just stating. What Bungie is trying to do with Destiny is not totally new, but their effort to create a tight synergy with their users and a rapid development cycle to incorporate user input is really pretty unique. Given the resources it takes to keep support and development allocated to this approach, the real question is can they make the business model work. (Queue the silver transactions). My feeling is that most young people these days are too petty and ignorant to notice the subtle differences between something like Destiny and Borderlands/Farcry/AssasinsCreed/WoW/Falout/Blah/Blah/Blah/Etc... Do you notice the frequent dialog updates from the voice talent in Desitiny? "No, man, the dialog sucks, but I listen to music while I play...". Yup, our "intelligent" youth in action... "Naw, man, game XXX is much more awesomeness". OK, how short is the path between you and the developer? Do you get weekly updates, course corrections, and tweeks? Of course you don't. Do you care? I am not saying that Destiny is the best game I have ever played, but I do feel that its bold approach to direct player input for gameplay adaptation is hugely underappreciated, and ultimately, is the future of gaming if the business model can be worked out. My opinion is that, sadly, Bungie is trying to sell its nascent, manual, "game AI" to an audience that simply doesnt have enough of an attention span to appreciate it. "Flame on"
