Long Ramble: (Criticism)

Honestly? No, I’m genuinely not sure that would end up being a very fun game. But there’s a middle ground, and Destiny is straddling it pretty well.

As Claude said, they’re making trade offs that I can live with in order for Destiny to continue to exist. Yea, there’s tons of room for improvement. I’d love if everything in the game was at least as engaging as playing Halo 1 on Normal. Lots of it is far easier than playing it on Easy with the AR modded to shoot Warthog rounds. I’m not sure there’s a realistic solution to that problem for Destiny. I wish they would adopt The Division 2’s world tier and modifier systems, but I can live with what we’re getting if the story continues to work as well as it is and we keep getting stuff on par with Duality. Nightfalls are still engaging, Crucible is a fucking mess, but when had it ever not been, and it’s still fun. Destiny has far more good than bad, especially when bad really just means “this is a little mindless.”
