The Cargo Cult of Game Mechanics (Destiny)

Developers and Gamers both have an idea of what they want from a game. I think it's rare that they are the same. It's also not always a bad thing if they are different. When I look back to the original Halo, it's obvious now that people were really excited about the physics engine, which might be why so many Warthogs were propelled to the horizon by grenades.
