My reply got jumbled up. I had intended to reply to the comment saying Fallout 3's DLC was incorporated in the main game, when it was just a tiny bite in the main game with a warp to an extra DLC-specific area.

Into the main game? Each one of them followed the path of: Go to point on map to read note, or listen to radio station. Then enter doorway or caravan or whatever story explanation to get warped to a new, small zone.
Yeah, I was at EB Games (aka Gamestop Canada) tonight picking up Lego Batman 3 and saw them on the rack. It looked like nobody had bought them, or maybe they'd just recently restocked the shelf. My almost-5-year-old was with me and was excited to see a Mario figure for about 3 seconds, then moved on to the actually…
The PvE feels chopped-apart and barely there. Sending level 27s to farm level 4 creatures for Bounties so they can grind enough reputation to be able to grind currency to be able to buy one piece of armour that increases your stats 5% from what you had on before.
I've found if you're not the kind of person who gets sucked into the grind/loot cycle, it's very easy to get bored of it. Everyone I know who played MMORPGs before easily recognized how grindy and broken the itemization is.

Sandvich?
Destiny's biggest let-down for me was the online experience. PvE content at the end game is sparse as heck; one raid, 5 Strikes to repeat ad nauseum, and 4 public areas full of trivial enemies and usually devoid of other players.
If Teen Titan had Deathstroke and Suicide Squad and people being impaled by swords, I wouldn't let my young kids watch it. I curate what my kids watch, rather than just dropping them in front of generic cartoons, because maturity is absolutely a factor in what my kids watch.
I can't bring myself to play it, and it's a shame. I'm mainly a PvE and co-op kinda guy, so I walked into this knowing that I probably wouldn't play much of the PvP, but between the amount of instant-kill abilities and the insane gap between the addicts with Exotic weapons and me with "only" a purple weapon I only…
I'm a sufferer. It's a pain in the butt (literally) sitting on almost anything. Even some cushions cause pain. I end up slouching so I'm resting on my tailbone or perching on my hip most times.
I never said Destiny was an MMO. That was the crux of my whole post. But they certainly took some elements from MMOs to try and make PvE content be more open-ended.
I just stopped caring. PvE end game is awful. 5 strikes, one raid, lots of grinding those over and over. I've played too many MMOs to jump on such a lazy, repetitive grind wagon.
This seems reminiscent of Zafehouse: Diaries. While I enjoyed the concept of that game, the crushing difficulty was eye-roll worthy. It wasn't difficult in a way that can be overcome, it's just dice roll, yup 2 of your people died in this spontaneous event because dice.
But... if you want more ship stuff, there's Rogue.
I'm loving it. I don't see the hate. So what if we earn abilities slower than before? I was getting tired of starting every game as the Ultimate Assassin and slowly becoming Ultimate +10% by the end.
Ah, the old "games as food" analogy. That one's always solid. Sustenance vs entertainment. A near-permanent on-disc or digital software package crafted by dozens of people over hundreds of man hours vs a lump of batter bunged in an oven for 6 minutes. The logical conclusions drawn from such analogies would naturally…
I'm hoping to see some optimization soon. Despite the reviews and the glitches (one console freeze, one time stuck between a goat and a wall, one time stuck running in place on a ledge) I'm enjoying it. Lots to do with a lot of variety, and the movement is superb. I love being able to essentially angle your…
Honestly, I haven't missed a major title yet (I haven't played much of the portable/phone games) and picked up my copy an hour ago. It's installing and patching for when the kids are in bed.
