Personal anecdote: (Destiny)

A couple years ago I was fortunate enough to get a tour of Bungie's Lobby (I owe a Community member a large drink for that, have not forgotten) and it was striking just how much of it was Halo Halo Halo Halo. Don't get me wrong, there was definitely a heavy destiny presence, but (and again maybe it was just me because I'm a huge Halo fan) but it paled in comparison to the Halo stuff even though the Halo stuff was all shoved to the back.

I can empathize.

When you're an artist, and you want to make something new but everybody just keeps wanting the old stuff what does that do to your creativity? Your mental health?

Kind of like going to a concert for a band you like and you get mad when they play stuff off the new album cuz you wanted to hear the hits from 10 years ago.

Lastly, Bungie set some ambitious goals with Destiny to make it a decade spanning franchise, that your character follows you from the beginning to the end. That's a pretty big challenge don't you think? How would you say they've done so far?

Personally, I'm not impressed. I don't care about my guardian pretty much at all. I don't find my character interesting he doesn't talk he doesn't do anything he doesn't interact in a meaningful way. At this point, if I keep playing future Destiny Games the only thing that'll be consistent is that he's been a Titan the entire time :P

::Shrugs:: I guess I'm just as curious about how they will acknowledge long-time fans and players of their games, or if they even want to outside of Destiny at this point...

I guess we'll see!
