This is why I still play Destiny. (Destiny)

If it's perceivable that you're not having a good time, there is something keeping an individual around.

I want to know what it is.

Because the very core of the game is fun.
Because you can love something so much that you just bitch about it all the time.
I mean, I talk a lot about how much I hated Halo 4 and how much it ruined Halo. I put over 250 hours into that game while doing it.

I love Bungie. They've been the one company I can follow through my life that has always provided the games I wanted. Destiny, at the straight core of it, is a fantastic FPS. It's just everything else on top of the FPS falls so short of being functional that it's ridiculous. But I play it because it's fun.

It's stupid that I have to level up to access a Raid to earn gear that will level me down so I can play the Raid to get items to level it up. The game is completely circular and repetitive in the worst ways, but it's fun.

I just don't enjoy that I am being forced by them to play the game in specific ways in order to achieve certain arbitrary goals. Seeing the developer of five of the greatest sandbox shooters in the genre, that embraced the idea of playing it your way transform into this is sad.

There aren't even hidden Easter Eggs in Destiny, because everywhere you go that isn't in the straight path kills you.
