A Thought About Destiny's Reception (Destiny)

As I said to sonofmacphisto the other day: boss battles are like ODST firefight with an insanely powerful enemy in the middle. It's what we loved about the nail biting moments when our pool of lives ran out. There's no timer or infinite lives like Reach firefight. The countdown is the health of the boss. You can make the firefight longer or shorter depending on your focus on him. The boss battles in Destiny are about fighting the small guys. The boss is just a big environment hazard.

As someone who isn't going to have the opportunity to play Destiny for a long while, comments like yours, Claude's, Kermit's, Levi's, Malagate's and others whom I know I'm forgetting, make me feel so much better about my purchase.

There's a lot of negativity surrounding the game right now, justified or not, and every comment, thread, headline or image I see to that effect inches forward that nagging feeling of doubt. That I'm not going to enjoy what I end up playing.

Then I read comments from you guys, and it's like a light in the dark. I want Destiny to be awesome. I want it to be fun. Maybe it takes a long time to kill the boss, but if the entire rest of the experience feels like one long Firefight, I'm so in.

Thank you.
