Goodbye, Cruel World! Hello, many other Worlds. (Destiny)

You may have noticed less vitriol and fewer rants around here lately. It's because I haven't been posting. The fact of the matter is that I've only played 3 crucible games in the last 3 weeks and I've no desire to go back to Destiny. So I bid you all a fond adieu; the DBO community is great and you guys are all great people. I truly enjoy the discussions here.

I shan't see you in TTK, either - the ship has sailed for me. I'm not going to bother everyone with why the gleam is off the cube here. Suffice to say I may lurk from time to time simply to hear what everyone thinks, and to garner a sense of the game's current state, but my actual playtime will certainly be spent elsewhere. As Durandal said, "I will be watching everything." There are far too many other worlds to explore, and far too few hours left in the days ahead.

So here's to videos of people eating socks, vowing to never play again because of microtransactions, and 1000 screenshots of other people's Hawkmoons.

To settle a couple of discussions that crop up from time to time:
Xbone with kinect > PS4 > Xbone without kinect.

And, because I feel that this is an important issue: I believe that pre-order bonuses and exclusive content are crimes against consumers. Please do not support these practices. They are detrimental to the overall quality of video games.

Here's hoping that the future brings us back to the glory days of Bungie gaming, with theater mode, the Forge, custom games, incredible plots, strong characters, witty humor, and adventures on a truly epic scale.

Cheers,
Kahzgul
