Why I'm leaving. (Destiny)

by Decom , Tuesday, September 23, 2014, 18:12 (3524 days ago) @ petetheduck

The core mechanics of a game can't be responsible for what makes it fun? Isn't that precisely what OUGHT TO make it fun?

Necessary but not sufficient. At least for me.

Thank you for the big list of things you like; it conveys to me what you like about the game pretty well (specifically the items with "why"s). They're all good reasons to like the game but to me they don't outweigh the negatives that I've read about. You're right that the list of negatives is shorter than the list of positives, but that doesn't necessarily mean negatives are less impactful (unfortunately).
