I read this yesterday. It's hard to disagree, and I'm happy that someone with a larger voice can summarize so many feelings in a relatively short article. I can only hope it makes a bigger difference. It's become increasingly evident that there's a stronger driving force than the player's experience, and I'm not sure if I should be angry with Bungie devs, or Activision shotcallers. I mean, realistically regardless of our opinions, there are middlemen's jobs on the line, you know? The uppity-ups near or at the top I don't think feel the sweat as much as the guys down below, they're just told what to do, you know? I'm not sure what a mouthpiece like Deej does beyond telling us all "We hear you" and posting GoT cliffhanger style blogs, cause all 3 of these groups really seem to be acting as 3 more-or-less independent entities.
Agreed. I loved Bungie back in the Halo 1 to Halo 3 days and then they started getting really weird and I think they lost some focus. I still jumped on the Destiny 1 bandwagon and there were plenty of fine nights that were had, but there were a ton of issues with the game. I stopped before the Taken King or whatever but supposedly a lot of issues were resolved. It made me optimistic about Destiny 2 because I thought for sure everything would be fixed. I think what is worse about Destiny, aside from whats mentioned in this article, is that the game is geared towards short-term progress and they didn't build it to be a lasting game. I am guessing they will release some big DLC packs to extend the life, but I don't think it is fair to intentionally stunt your game up front. And I think all of this with Destiny 2 will most certainly hurt the future of the IP
How do you guys feel about the announcements that have been made as of late? Interested in Warmind? Anything you're excited to see on the timeline?
Stopped playing this game right after the last expansion. I might wait until the next game before I jump in.
Mine will be installed automatically. Might check it out this weekend.
