I hate Destiny. It’s my favorite game.

I started playing D1 during the PS4 Alpha, then beta, and release. Loved it. Played almost daily through The Taken King, and got D2 on launch day. Played the Red War, then took a break. Dabbled in curse of Osiris, took a longer break, played a bit of Beyond Light, more break, then got back into Destiny last June and played a lot through Lightfall’s seasons and The Final Shape.

I truly enjoyed my time playing, but now I’m starting to feel pulled in other directions. I got into Warframe, and The Forever Winter looks really good. I tried Helldivers and it was ok, I don’t have a group to play it with and don’t enjoy randos.

Anyway, all that to say Destiny 2 is dangerously addictive. It feels so good to play. I especially enjoyed the 10-year saga wrapping up with The Final Shape. I’m a very casual gamer, but Destiny makes me feel powerful. That’s why I play.

Instructions unclear, blood is spinning down in the centrifuge.

I bet that house smells awful.

Beef curtains!

Looks like one of the Boys of Silence from BioShock Infinite

Does that apply to Proud Boys? Let’s unmask these filthy vermin.

Reminds me of the Mystery Flesh Pit National Park.

To be fair the chip bags were really loud…

Streets of Rage 4 was very good, but I would like to see where they take it from here. A 3d game wouldn’t be bad, as long as it’s still side scrolling. I loved JSRF on Xbox and would love a new Jet Set game. This is all good news! Yeah it’s pure nostalgia, but if the games are actually good why not support Sega?

Oh, I understand, thanks for explaining. Yeah, the inability to play the Red War saga is sad. I dropped off kind of soon after the Red War. If there weren’t YouTubers with lore videos, I’d be really lost now.

So, unlike a TV show, you can’t go back and enjoy it from episode 1, you just have to strap in and hope you can hold on while they fling content at you to see if something sticks. Like what they’re doing with the new Crucible mode, Checkmate, they’re going to use it to change all of Crucible.

I got back into the game in Season 21 and played all the campaigns then. I enjoyed all of them. Shadowkeep was very cool, I felt bad for Eris. Witch Queen was fun, I found the story gripping. Lightfall was kinda meh, but Strand is so powerful. Every campaign doesn’t need to be amazing much like every season of a TV show need to be amazing, but I’ll still watch Futurama and Bones and The Office over and over.

The only campaign I haven’t played again is Beyond Light, which I mostly finished back when it came out.

I think the part I disliked the most of all the campaigns was getting Strand meditations for my Banner of War Titan. But the levels were fun to play even if the story wasn’t great.

We’re spending $15 every few months. That costs way less than a full season of a TV show or even a single movie, especially in the theater, and we play Destiny for many more hours than watch a TV season or movie.

Wow, there’s a lot of hate for D2… I played Destiny 1 almost daily, and enjoyed Destiny 2’s launch. I fell off for a while, played a little Beyond Light, but didn’t get any of the other expansions. I got back into the game during Season 21, Season of the Deep, and thoroughly enjoyed the content. I played the old campaigns (got them on sale for 75% off), then enjoyed Season of the Witch. Now, Season of the Wish just came out yesterday and I enjoyed the 30 minutes I had to play the game (busy day). Yeah, I pay for some things, story content mostly. The game play is really good, the story is fine, and we’re coming up to the end of this huge 10-year saga between the light and darkness, the Traveler and the Witness. The Final Shape (next campaign) has been delayed, but Bungie is putting extra content into this season to make up for the extra long season we’ll have, and it’ll be free for everyone, not just people who bought the season. Everything has been building up to this point, and I’m so excited to see where it goes from here.

Sure, other games do a seasonal model better, other games have better writing or mechanics or less monetization. But I’m still having fun. Not everyone hates Destiny, even if Bungie has made some bad decisions in the past and lately.
