I’ve played this franchise since launch back in 2014. Convinced myself I loved it. Dumped thousands of hours into it. There have been moments of dopamine hits like no other. There have also been moments where I’m frustrated to no end.
One thing I’ve come to realize is that it just isn’t a very fun game and never really has been. We’re essentially playing halo missions over and over for a chance to get an item with a better stat roll. While that’s enough for a dopamine hit, is it really all that fun? I don’t think so, especially when the PvP in the franchise just isn’t all that fun. I think we’ve convinced ourselves that the moments of dopamine are worth hanging onto just in case we get another one of those hits. Now that Bungie has cranked the hits up to 11, the dopamine hits just don’t hit anymore. Can’t really enjoy the hits if you get a god roll every 5 seconds…
Oh well….bungie is content with a mediocre game carried by periodic dopamine hits. Suppose it’s time to hop off the train.

Editado por A_mo: 11/18/2023 3:25:54 AMIt doesn't have to be that depressing. Live service dopamine hits were all the rage just a few years ago when everyone was too important to spend more than a dopamine hits worth of time in a game at any one time. Now we've had some things to remind us all that people ain't really -blam!- so now everyone is okay with playing non cellphone like videogames but it had better be on their terms.
