Halo and Destiny are ACTION games

by Xenos , Shores of Time, Tuesday, August 27, 2013, 22:20 (4104 days ago) @ Cody Miller

Fair enough, but let me remind you that things like action movies aren't precluded from being insightful and interesting. Starship Troopers, Aliens, Book of Eli, etc.

Yeah I definitely agree. I realized just now what my main beef with the arguments are in this thread. I personally took Bungie's argument about Destiny fitting on the shelf next to Star Wars and Lord of the Rings to be more about the way people are engrossed in them, not that they want to make something that is an amazing piece of media. Let me put it another way, Halo is a universe millions of people are engrossed in, I feel like they are saying that they want to make a universe with Destiny that people will want to come back to over an over again just like Star Wars fans are like with the extended universe.
