Huh? (Destiny)

Maybe the best way to understand is to go play games that DONT take. You'll see the difference like night and day. If all you play is Destiny you might not see it, but plenty of games give you a great time without pushing any agenda or manipulative design practices. You don't have to wait down the road for any activities. You can just have fun immediately.

You're suggesting I didn't have fun immediately with Destiny? That would be an incorrect suggestion.

You said yourself some activities you had to put off till later down the line.

Yep. How does that mean I didn't have fun immediately?

I loved my childhood. I wasn't allowed to drive until I was 16, but that didn't stop me from having fun as an 8 year old. It has undeniably made parts of my life better now that I AM allowed to drive.

Are you suggesting that if 100% of a game isn't playable in minute 1, it's broken? Because that's the stupidest thing I've ever thought you said. :) (Maybe you didn't say it, which is why I phrased it that way.)

Even IF I could have done those things I pushed down the road right from the start, I couldn't have - BECAUSE THERE ARE A LIMITED NUMBER OF HOURS IN THE DAY. So I can do A, B, and C, but not D - but that's okay, because really I only have time for A. So I have to push B and C down the road ANYWAY, just because there isn't time.

If I found myself with a gap between when I found things that I COULD do fun, and when I was ABLE to do things I COULDN'T do, you'd have a point. But in the 2 years since I first played Destiny, that has never, ever, ever happened.
