destiny with no RNG would be a really short game.
Length has nothing to do with game quality. I know tons of great short games and tons of shitty long ones.
Point on that is that destiny, as intended, is not meant to be a short game. It's elongated by the RNG and light level systems. You may have missed some of the nuances of my post there. =)
Right, but they are simply aiming to make the game way too long. There reaches a point where it becomes too much, and making your game shorter would benefit. The good developers know this. The bad ones try to elongate the game so players have a higher hours played stat. After the influx of overly long JRPGs following Final Fantasy 7, I thought that the resulting backlash over time bloat in games would take. But it hasn't.
