You mean bosses that have artificially gated damage phases is lazy? I agree. I especially like raid levels that challenge the efficiency of the jump button. Cool feature of a shooting game.

I need to clarify that better. I don't mean to call the developers lazy, because parts of this game are amazing and the passion pierces through enough for us to see it's there waiting to come out. Management decisions affect what the developers probably really want to focus on and put out. I think the developers themselves are working their asses off.

I also agree. And I also think there is a high level of potential talent. As a player, I've never seen a game with so much fluid action and artistry, and simultaneously so much unrealized potential. My single biggest issue with Destiny has been the blatantly obvious mismanagement and investment in marketing (and public relations, but that could be rolled up into marketing). If they were to focus on the player experience, it could have become something incredible. I'm hopeful the "gamer" side of Bungie comes back... but I've been hoping for that since D1 Y2. I enjoyed RoI (D1 Y3), but that was the last REAL time I played for enjoyment... My fear is this new model comes out and they abandon the old gaming side, and Destiny just moves from fiscal quarter to fiscal quarter (or season to season). Too many other entertaining franchises out there to tolerate the negative effects of D2. I'd rather get back into Destiny. Bungie, to me, is their own biggest obstacle. We'll see. I hope I see you back here in the future talking about the game itself, and not discussing reasons to like or dislike it.
