My Single Complaint... (Destiny)

Oh.

Well, I disagree. I like the encounters. The social aspect of Destiny is its biggest draw for me. I just wish it felt like I was doing something of consequence rather than, "Dinklage says there's a Big Bad in this tunnel and we need to kill him, because... uh... just because." It just comes off as really generic. It comes off like a side quest.

I have no problem with side quests in Explore or Strike mode, because those are supposed to be pick-up-and-play deals just like the Crucible, but in the story missions I was anticipating something a little more earth-shattering.

Don't get me wrong, I like the encounters too, but sometime's areas feel overpopulated. I like the social aspect but minus extended periods of isolation, whether solo or in a fireteam, they lose their impact. It's truly arresting when you find yourself in a hairy situation and someone shows up randomly to give you a dig out, but it needs the longer sections where you(ye) are alone to increase the dramatic quality of this.
