"I keep touching Destiny and I don't know why" -RANT- (Destiny)

I read this post a few times.

Part of me just wanted to post that "Old man yells at clouds" image in response.

Part of me wanted to actually respond.

My main takeaway is that you're comparing two things that are quite different.

Halo had Campaign and MP.

Destiny has Campaign, MP, Strikes, Raids, Patrol, Social Spaces.

It seems you're measuring Destiny's campaign against Halo's campaign while leaving out all the new content types.

You ask if anyone has re-played any missions "just for fun" and say that anything giving a reward at the end doesn't count. I've replayed all the missions--I've actually played through the entire campaign 5 times now. (Three titans, deleted two titans, made a hunter & a warlock.) I did that for fun.

Just last night I played some campaign missions just cause.

To me, Destiny is actually fun. I wouldn't play it if I didn't have fun. I'm not a "keep up with the Jones'" kind of person--I've only beat one section of the raid, and my highest character is 297.

A lot of your complaints seem to come from a place of mismatched expectations. I play Destiny solo, a lot--most of my playtime. I can do campaigns, strikes, patrol, MP, whatever.

For strikes, the normal use case would be "beat the boss as soon as possible." If you want to explore, that's something you should gather a group of friends for.
You even say:

I shouldn't have to subjugate two of my friends to my wanting to stop and smell the roses, you know?

So why do you want to subjugate two randoms to that??

Hope this didn't come off too argumentative..
