I think the problem for Cody's crowd is that 100% completion IS fun.

Crazy thing is, both of these positions can be right! Which is why despite Raga's persistent calls for the haters to leave, they won't. Because they don't hate the game. They hate the anti-fun stuff that's getting in the way of unlocking the biggest challenges. Raga might not really be concerned with the biggest challenges. That's why he's less offended by all this, and why he isn't necessarily wrong when he says what he says. He's just not right for everybody.

This is correct. I don't give a shit about 100% completion if doing so is not fun. Getting weapons and armor and leveling them up is but a means to enjoy the hard stuff. That's sad, because these elements can not just be chores to be done in order to play what's fun, but can be fun in and of themselves. Many games have done this, so the fact that Bungie chooses not to make that so just illustrates they don't actually care about making the best game possible.

If they did, they'd hire Luke as mission designer for all the story missions, and give Tyson the boot as investment designer.
