I wanna complain. (Destiny)

This game is a wreck in some ways. The game has great gameplay and classes and cool weapons butttttttttttttttt,

Single player story missions are boring, repetitive, too short, and have no story.

The Dark Below's story missions could have been one long mission and it would be much better. Doing a loading screen between each 7 minute mission gets old fast. Speedrunning is dead for everything except raids. No Saturn, no Mercury, the Reef is a cutscene only.

Crucible's offerings are still 4 flavors of slayer. We got team slayer, ffa slayer, slayer with control point kill modifiers, 3v3 slayer with revives, and a different sort of control point slayer. Mercury taunts you in the Rumble playlist.

The raids are the defining activities of the Destiny experience. They are the most fun activities in the game, and the game's philosophy seems to be focused on them. You can run them once per week per character while having a loot incentive for them. Theres 2 of them. They are resource hogs as far as development cycles go. I feel that Bungie is going to keep trying to outdo themselves with the Raid and eventually fail to outdo themselves. I think there is a tunnelvision on the raid as an activity that is drawing away resources from other things that need fixing. Vault of Glass now has zero use towards player progression, as you can now buy better armor.

The expansion isn't an expansion, don't call it that. Half Life: Opposing Force is an expansion. Warlords of Draenor is an expansion. The Dark Below ain't.

The worlds dead and stale for the most part. Earth is mildly interesting now. There's a ton of unused playspace in the world.

I'm grumpy today.
