Kind of sad on my end... 2123 hours. (Destiny)

People who burn through content just to check off a list, or just to chase a specific item make me shake my head. And then they whine constantly and loudly about how little there is for them to do 1000+ hours into a game. Remember when RPGs were 80+ hours long and we thought that was too much time to spend on one game?


How many times do I have to explain this? RPGs are not meant to have players playing constantly, and doing the same shit over and over again. You can actually beat an RPG and finish the story. Destiny is not like that. Bungie designed it with no end.

RPGs all have an element that keeps the players playing, from finding all 101 Dalmatians to filling out every perk in your SPECIAL tree. That's stuff to get players to play longer than it would take them to simply beat the story.

Find an RPG that lets you burn through story stuff without a single wall to keep you from blazing through it. Find one. Besides that, I distinctly recall beating the story to Destiny. I also recall beating the story to The Taken King, so you're wrong on all counts. Destiny at least lets you unlock all of your perks fairly quickly, while some other RPGs have even killed off characters that you spent a lot of time leveling halfway through the game...

For someone who doesn't play a whole lot of games (RPGs especially), you sure seem to think that you know them better than those who have sunk countless hours into them.
