Ambivalent meh (Destiny)

After watching The Devil's Lair vid, I am in a solid meh stage. Very ambivalent feelings towards the game right now. Not caring to even be in the Beta.

When I first saw TITANFALL, I became very excited to play it. A year later, that excitement is still in me a month and a half after launch. I don't have that same excitement for Destiny.

Destiny looks gorgeous and I'm 95% (down from 100%) sure I'll buy it, but I'm far less sure it'll hold my attention for very long. Maybe it'll be like poorly fitted clothing that has to be worn-in before you can really enjoy it.

Patricia Hernandez on Kotaku wrote almost exactly how I feel about Destiny.

It's interesting, I figured the overwhelming response would be positive in this venue but there's a good mixture of opinions here.

I'd be lying if I didn't say that I'm very surprised that they didn't include more new stuff with this reveal. Almost everything that we saw today has been seen (or known about) already. I'm not sure how this is supposed to sustain peoples excitement unless you are already 100% all in on the game.

Reading through the articles it seems obvious this was not lost on the journalists who were playing the game too. Most of the articles seemed to be 'well this is nice, but... where's the payoff?'

I have a lot more thoughts on the subject that I'm keeping to myself, but overall I can't see today as a win for Destiny PR.
