I've played more games than I can remember and I've spent more time playing them than comprehensible to my own brain. I also stream on Twitch when I can get my brain juices flowing.
This game was highly anticipated and I bought the special edition for my PS3...it was hot garbage.
They spent the next few years patching it to be a pretty good game but it was nothing standing of what the game was at launch.
I was a huge fan of this game when it came out. My frustration came with the constant nerfing of guns right after you get them, or max level increase at the same rate as you finally get that top level. I felt like I was being played, and if it didn't affect the PVP play, I wouldn't have minded, but I found it very frustrating.
Oh what you could have been. Destiny had a huge chance to become something amazing with the way Bungie was talking you up. Then the season passes and pay walls came about and completely ruined you.
This first game was a lot of fun. I played quite a bit online weekly getting in my raids and finding Xur. I just wish the series got better.
The game was everything I was looking for at the time that it came out. It was different. The animations were classic Bungie. I wasn't sure I was going to play it. Then my cousin was talking it up after it launched. I played a bunch of this. Then fell off for Wolves and Crota. Came back for Taken King. That was such a satisfying time.
Bungie did a lot of things right for this game. The problem is it couldn't keep up with the grind. People loved it to the point of drying out content rapidly. The game was difficult as a casual player as then the elitist groups wouldn't take you unless you had XYZ guns.
All in all this game was it man. That's all I can say. It was the community that wasn't it at times. But the community in large is/was awesome. If you need examples of that, look up Guardian Con. It doesn't technically exist anymore, and is not just GCX, but that is peak Destiny community. Video games doing good.
