I can see from your point of view, but I have to ask: what % of your ‘gaming time’ does Destiny take up? My issue is with the little time that I have, I like to play more than just one title. I don’t want to feel like I have to play just one title otherwise I’ll be ‘left behind’.

A merging of D3 and Destiny would be fucking awesome. Blizzard: learns from their mistakes and gets better. Bungie: haven’t we done this before?

MMOs are not for me, ergo I don’t play them. Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous don’t fit my gaming habits, so I don’t play them. They don’t market to me, so I know to stay away. The problem is that Bungie markets Destiny as different, and by what they say, Destiny should be for me. They also say that it’s for the 30+…

Your answer to your last question - “Why should Destiny be different?” is answered in the rest of your post: because they’re trying and promising they are different. If they just admitted “Yeah, we’re an MMO. Treat it as such” then people would. The issue lies in the fact that they are telling every corner and niche…

I don’t even have close to enough nerve to assume that I should always be the target audience, but that’s the way than Bungie has sold it. I know that Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous are not games for me because they don’t market them as such. Destiny has marketed themselves as such, and they keep trying to push…

The issue is Destiny doesn’t know what it wants to be. If they want to be a hardcore MMO, then they need to market it as such. Most MMOs don’t really allow you to play other games without being ‘left behind’. It’s pretty much an all or nothing with those. Destiny has some features that are very MMO-ish.

If only people that can play your game for 20+ hours a week can get ‘good’ gear, you’re doing something wrong. A lot of us gamers are growing up, and with that come jobs, children, responsibilities, etc. that keep you away from the game. They shouldn’t listen to the 16-24 year-old High School and College student that…

Destiny: The series that could have been. Or might be someday. Maybe. Unless they change too much. Or too little. Or give away too much loot, rendering exotics unexciting. Or don’t drop loot enough, pissing off the fanbase.

I remember 3-4 ship battle sequences (I know for a fact 1 is optional), so I would assume you still have some to go.

I absolutely despised playing as Aya in AC:O, so much so that by finishing the game as her and her shitty dual blade style left an extremely bad taste in my mouth at the end of the 80 hour epic. As a character, she was ok, but as a video game character she left A LOT to be desired. Her ship battles were just a watered…

Yeah, Origins makes a great first impression, but I was over it by the end. That and the way it finished the story pissed me off, but that’s for another day. I’m excited to play Rogue, as it’s the only true Assassin’s Creed game I’ve never played (I’m not counting the 2D or handheld versions in this). Thanks for the…

Wait, your favorite AC games are 3 and Unity? Don’t let them know! They’ll skin you alive!

So, AC:IV is vying for the title of my favorite Assassin’s Creed ever. Are you saying this is better than Black Flag? If so, I’m afraid I’ll have to play it, even if I have a little AC Burn from just finishing Origins.

Yeah, but not letting her be in your party always rubbed me the wrong way. She was my absolute favorite companion in the entire series - both in and out of combat. I also feel like she has the best story arc, especially if you go the full paragon romance route. Something about her becoming Professor X to a new class…

They did Jack dirty in 3.

I believe ME:A to be a good GAME, but a bad MASS EFFECT game, much in the same way I believe Halo 5 to be a good game but a terrible Halo game. Without expectations, history, etc. it may well be the best game of all time. As it is, however, it stands in the shadow of the Mass Effects that came before and get hidden in…

See, my only missing achievement from ME1 is BECAUSE of Liara. I’ve tried three separate times to get the ‘Asari Ally” to pop, and I complete the whole damned 40 hour game (I mean, you can’t just blaze through ME without exploring, right?) to not have it ding. DAMN YOU LIARA!

Yeah, I put 40 hours into Andromeda. If it can’t get its hooks in me in that long of a ‘test’ period, then it’s never going to. I plan on someday going back and finishing it, because I do see its merits, but as a Mass Effect game it falls woefully short.

Thane, Jack, Tali, Garrus, Wrex, Liara, Samara, Kasumi...

Fuck. That.
