On that note... (Destiny)
On the latest episode of Rebel FM, Arthur Gies said that the story missions in The Division are like raids in Destiny (they're actually fairly close to strikes, but nothing remotely resembling a raid). He also said there is a lot more meaningful content to do between story missions in the Division than in Destiny (there isn't by any stretch of the imagination).
I generally really like and respect Arthur, but I find he and a couple of the writers at Polygon have such a relentless bias against Destiny that they have a very distorted idea of what the game is, or how other games compare to it (which is the key point here, I think).
Yep. Check out this clickbait headline for an article about a game most Polygon readers probably will never play.
How Fragments of Him tells a tough, tearjerking story — and why Destiny should, too
The game actually looks interesting to me, but the gratuitous insertion of Destiny into the conversation made me roll my eyes.
