Every Bungie game with the exception of ONI has been pretty damn good. Thats good enough for me.

Whoa whoa whoa. Whoa. I absolutely respect your opinion, but I strongly disagree! Though I may be biased because it was the first Bungie game I ever played, and I loved it.

Agree! (reply)

I'd like to think that even if I don't like Destiny, I'd still stick around to see what others think about it. We're still bungie.org, and even if I don't like the game itself, I do like the community. I don't enjoy Halo 4 very much, but the community itself is worth more to me than a single game I might not enjoy.

So sure, maybe I won't enjoy Destiny, but I definitely love this community and I'm sure Destiny will have something that I like. Hell, I enjoy Spartan Ops even with all of its flaws. How could a Bungie game be an outright complete failure in attracting me to it in every way, shape, and form? Well, hopefully I don't ever find out. :P

A lot of my life was shaped by my fandom of Halo. My whole career choice was kickstarted by my love of drawing Halo characters. I met my best friend of several years now through a mutual friend in a game of Halo 3. And I got to hang out with you guys at PAX, and had a great time. A lot of very important moments in my life developed from my passion for that series.

I don't know that Destiny will be able to do the same. Maybe it's just because I'm a bit older and slightly jaded. I just hope the next generation of kids like me will pick up Destiny and have some of the coolest experiences in their life because of their fandom. :)

Community bro... (reply)

I'm gonna be honest. I will be hanging around HBO more than DBO.

I am a Halo fan. I have never been so enthralled by a universe or series before like I am with Halo. It is because of Halo that I know what I want to do with my life career wise. I doubt Destiny will have the same effect on me. That said though, I love these people, and this community so much that even if I despise Destiny (Incredibly unlikely) I will still poke my head around here often and as always be dedicated to HBO.

Horrible, awesome, somewhere in the middle - I'm just excited to see what it is. Evolution, man. It's exciting.

Honestly if it sucks then so be it. However I can say that I've loved and I mean loved every single damn game Bungie has made. Even those that others aren't so keen on. So the odds of me not loving this game are going to be very very slim.

What if it's so great that we play and play and don't eat and then die. That would suck.

Then we will have amused ourselves to death.

I was introduced to Halo:CE shortly after it was released, by a friend in school. Before that, I had hardly played video games. Suffice to say, I fell in love. To me, this past decade+ with Bungie have been like finding and getting to know a new best friend. Sure, there are people who have known Bungie longer, who have been there since it's infancy and are more familiar with it than I am, but everything I have come to know about Bungie I have loved. The feel of their games, their attitude, their personality (yes, Bungie has a personality), everything about Bungie I have come to love. And that love makes me more excited and more terrified for Destiny. I'm not sure what I'll do if the game isn't my cup of tea; I'm gonna wait to see the game before worrying about that. But Bungie will always have my love and support.

Exciting, isn't it? (reply)

Haven't felt this level of impending doom since the Berlin Wall came down. Which, seeing as I was born in 1990, means that I missed out.

I think a lot of present Bungie fans are facing up to potential cognitive dissonance with the Destiny series. But there's also the weight of expectation that — certainly for the majority — simply wasn't there with Halo. I played the Myth II demo back in something like 1998 but wasn't drawn in. My first ‘wow’ moment came with that August 1999 Macworld demo. I suspect we're going to see a lot of new fans drawn in with Destiny's reveal, and for them that ‘wow’ moment is just around the corner…

The only thing better than a great story is a really fucking delicious meal. Such a thing is impossible for even the most mildly sane.

I suggest you get a coke, some ice and flipflops.

Relax, put ya feet up, tape a smile to your face :)

And leave your doubts and paranoid thoughts behind.

I'm going to try not to think of that anymore than I already have. My love/admiration/loyalty to Bungie began the second I popped Halo: Combat Evolved into my Xbox and that was three years before I even fell madly in love with the Haloverse as a whole.

If it does suck, which I doubt considerably, I'm not going to stop playing the game or leave the community. ODST and Reach weren't all that fun [for me], but I still kept coming back. Its going to have to be REALLY terrible for me to drop everything.

Nevertheless, I have the utmost confidence in Bungie in delivering a rich universe for us to dive into.
