You know what, I think you're right . . . (Destiny)

I'm thinking about getting Halo 5. It's weird because that was never really something to ponder in the past. Halo has been a goto for 14 years now. Halo was life. Now Destiny is way more consuming but in a different way. Honestly, I miss playing Halo for a few months Hardcore and then putting it down. There was always some other game to fill the gap. CoD, RB6, Forza, Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, Battlefield, Madden.... Now though more games are becoming investments rather than experiences. Its not really a problem, just a change.

This is the first time I've been pulled into an MMO style game with a long term consistent investment on my part. It's hasn't been bad per se, but I do want to play other games. I don't play them because I feel like I have to play Destiny, but because I really do like it, and it has changed frequently enough to feel fresh over the past year. I did play a little of Shadows of Mordor, and tiny fraction of Witcher. But I can't get into Witcher and Destiny at the same time. It's too much of an investment. Witcher has a complex RPG system and story that need continuity to understand and appreciate.

The one game coming up that I think will pull me away is the new RB6. I love that tactical shooter feel, the breach and clear, the strategy involved in rescuing the hostages. I always tried to play the old versions without dying or losing a squad member for each level. I've got high hopes for this new one.
