You're a hypocrite. (Also some links, podcasts, videos) (Destiny)

I said over and over again if Destiny 2 is just more Destiny as we know it, I might not bother.

Yeah, I guess I lied. I thought it was true when I said it, but after what we've seen so far, Destiny 2 could be just more Destiny as we know it, and I'm totally in.

Honest question. Why?

I'm not completely sure. I think I just miss playing Destiny. I haven't played since a few months after TTK. Partly because I was just burned out on it, but I also moved out into the boonies where no one provided internet service, so I didn't have much choice anyway.

Now internet service is on the way and so is Destiny 2. For all it's problems, I did very much like Destiny. And maybe it's just time washing away the bad, but I remember it more fondly than I think I used to.

Moreover, it does look like they're fixing the problems I had with it, in that the story setup looks great and interesting. Hopefully they can deliver on that. We still don't know what grinding and gear and all that looks like, but I'm not sure I care at this point. As long as it doesn't get worse (and how could it), I think I'm beyond that mattering.

I think most of my problem with Destiny was feeling forced to play things I didn't want to in order to keep up. Now that I've seen what a long tail Destiny had and expect the same for Destiny 2, I don't think that pressure will be there to keep up with everyone if I don't want to.

TL;DR: I am a hypocrite, and when it comes time to pony up, I just don't wanna.
