Destiny... A word that drove me towards hype and excitement to find a world(s) of endless exploration and content. 2 years in the making for myself to find were i am now left in, nothing more than a vast amount of empty space where i thought entertainment would be. I strive to find more at its base, but for all the effort i have put into exploring and raising ranks for factions as well as a number of crucible matches ranking at MVP a great amount of times, I'm left going in cycles at a steady incline. Sure i can try to play more matches and do the Raid for more legendary gear that wouldn't be as good as my current legendary gear but the real reason is why? The story is minimal at best leaving more to be desired behind a pay wall months away from now. I feel empty in a place where it appears to be filled with a great coat of paint, behind there is only the smallest layer of a foundation covered in mold. Gone are the ambitions i have to continue, gone are reasons to devote more time in something that doesn't respect me at all as a gamer. Sure i could do strikes, replay the same bosses and enemies, all to find a reward page with nothing insight. The word "Destiny" was soon replaced with "Why" with good reason as i noticed time pass. Pre-loaded, pre-paid, pre-hyped, pre-produced anticipations for something that only delivers at the minimum of game standards. A barely functioning match-making system that match's unbalanced levels of skilled players to duke it out for completely random prizes show-casing the disrespect for the player after every match. A loot system that rivals the downright uselessness of the majority Diablo 3's loot at launch. Random is great to a degree but not when it requires nothing more than time. Destiny is not a time-sync its a time-waster. We can always be looking for the bright side about any game but that's not how they should be judged as like other pieces of reviewed items. The game shows polish, it has some well thought out ideas but fails to execute any of them better than what Bungie has done in the past. What i feel is that the game plays like an early access title on steam, rather than the most financed game ever made. When i play online i ask where are the private matches, where is the vast exploration that goes beyond a farming session in a cave or looking for gold crates, where is endgame content that was designed for level 20+ characters beyond the same ol same ol of the raid and nightfall strike. If i learned anything its that i should no longer buy into the hype of anything, i should never pre-order anything that hasn't proved anything to me, i should never force myself to play something in the hopes of it getting better at the end of the journey. If there is anything i thank Bungie for, its for making me realize these things with Destiny. When the next Destiny comes out, i will not buy it nor will i praise it for doing the most basic of features that are clearly missing this time around. This game is chore, nothing less nothing more. The PvP is fun but unrewarding. The PvE is not fun and unrewarding, the endless grinding is not at all fun but somewhat rewarding after hours of finding legendary's.If you enjoy the game, great but nothing is stopping you from playing the games others have made before and after Destiny, so maybe give those a try as well.
