Don't people play for fun anymore?
I remembered why I started playing video games, it was a way to escape into a fantasy world for hours on end that provided entertainment and just fun. These days, it seems like everyone has forgotten what the simple purpose of video games are; Destiny being no exception. It seems whether it's PVP or even PVE; players have gotten so serious about playing. Now don't get me wrong, when engaging an enemy, of course everyone wants to win, but even if you lose, it should have been fun just to try, especially when facing off an enemy with allies at your side. Sigh...maybe I am just sentimental and I probably will get heat for this post, but....I really want to know....do any of you players...just play to have fun...win or lose...just the adventure itself makes you happy?
Hi everyone, first off I would just like to thank all of you for commenting on the post. Even if you have different opinions, it's absolutely fine because you are more than entitled to it. I was just happy to read that so many of you still believe in the basic fundamentals of fun, and even though some of you have carved out your own definitions of the word and what it means to you, I sincerely hope that you truly enjoy your gaming experiences, whether its with Destiny or any other game you might play. Thank you for reading, and SHINE ON ;)

Skyrim was the last single player game that I played where I was okay with immersing myself into a virtual world. However, at times it felt lonely not being able to talk to someone or to collaborate together to achieve victory. I felt isolated from the online social experience of seeing friends and family playing a different game than me. MMOs and co-ops have been trying to bridge the gap of narrative with multiplayer for awhile but nothing has truly achieved it imo. Because of this, I dont think the majority of the gaming society will truly feel how you described which is basically how we gamed before online mp. I understand that im generalizing an entire culture based off of my own experience but this is how the online generation is. People go out to nightclubs and parties or to the gym just to update their twitter/fb/instagram just to tell others that they did this or that they were there, not to actually enjoy the event that they attended. Vidyas in a sense, fall into the same gap imo. tl;dr Imo, social networking/online play has had a hand in ruining a good time.
