"I haven't touched Halo 5 and Destiny is to blame" (Destiny)

As I said elsewhere either yesterday or today, its not just being behind that's the problem, but being behind because you're pretty much running solo. Its not easy to solo a lot of TTK content, at least for me, and I just never got pulled in because there's a lot of pushback from the game with that difficulty barrier, partially artificially enforced by RNG. I don't want to loop around and reply a bunch of content just to get the stuff I need to move forward with the plot. That's not letting me play the way I want to, which is supposedly a core tenant of the game.

Don't be fooled. I don't think Bungie cares at all about how you want to play or solo play. The new trademark from Bungie for Destiny should be "We make games for you to play how we want." It sucks for sure. Solo just isn't a thing, and they've gone to great lengths to try to discourage it imo. While I'd love to trash on H5 so as to tell you why you should Destiny it up regardless, I find it hard to trash a dead franchise. There's still hope for the future with Destiny. Unless microtransactions kill it. Slippery slope and such.
