Did a JRPG pore sugar in your gas tank? (Destiny)

At some point, it just bears mentioning, a lot of people enjoy a nice power curve. It feels good. There are plenty of other formal game design reasons for it, but the fact that people like investment systems make a pretty strong case for their validity.

Back to megaman: this is accomplished by giving you a new weapon after beating each stage. Deus Ex gives out Exp as you go to invest in your character. Zelda and Metroid have you find items as you play. You can have power progression without the need for an investment system!

And yes I'm obsessed, because it's so frustrating to see Bungie paying people to make Destiny worse, especially when the Alpha was so fun because the system barely came into play!
