NO SPOILERS PLEASE - how do people like the Raid so far? (Destiny)

My 1 complaint (if you can even call it that) is that many of the environments in King's End feel extremely "gamey" compared to VoG or even Crota. I kept thinking back to that moment in Galaxy Quest where they need to run down the hallway with the fire traps and pieces of wall slamming together and one of the characters starts complaining "why does this place even exist in a starship? What purpose does any of this serve?!" So in that sense it's not as immersive as the old raids (VoG in particular), and I could see that bothering some players who like to dive a little more deeply into the "role playing" side of things. But it didn't bother me at all because I found it all so mechanically fun and rewarding :)

This worries me--I like explanations that fit the story. Regardless, I'm still excited.

I'm in the same boat there, Kermit.

But this makes me ridiculously excited for it:

In terms of the overall feel of the raid, I think it is closer to VoG than Crota. It feels vast in a way that Crota doesn't. I'm pretty sure it is substantially larger than VoG as well. You really get the sense that your fireteam is on an epic journey of Tolkein-proportions. The environment feels vast and ancient.

It sounds great!

I can't wait for Friday!
