It's harder than you think (Destiny)

Games aren't long for good reasons, only bad ones. One day I hope you'll give us a break...

If you had an ounce of reading comprehension, you'd realize I said nothing of the sort. Length is bad if a game is long for the sake of making it long. If your game is long, and every second is bursting with excitement, then that's exactly what you would hope for, isn't it?

Read what I say, and don't speak for me, especially when you get it wrong.

Uh huh. At least I dragged you near to seeing the good side of something.

Now then, your implication that "Bungie seems obsessed, it'd say even at the level of paranoia, with 'keeping players playing'. This is not something you have to worry about if your game is actually fun" was that Bungie was going to keep them playing without using fun to do so.

I posit that part of Destiny's fun will come from the fact that it is not yet another 10 hours and done shooter. That the process of gaining and upgrading weapons and abilities, instead of just being handed them, will make for a undeniably better game. Same goes for delaying the introduction of PvP.
