@TotallyWorthLife As a D1 player I saw how much of a step back D2 was at launch, realized it’d be the same “we’re listening” song and dance as D1, and vowed that I wouldn’t be apart of that again.
Every time I look at D2, I only feel more sure that I made the right decision.
Same here. I did end up getting it because a friend wanted other people to play with, but come to think of it, I don’t think we ever played together once.
I got through the story and started on the other modes that were supposed to keep us hooked, but I was pretty much over it.
I feel like everyone but Bungie realized the game was done after The Final Shape. They kept trying to keep the game going and kept putting out mid content when it was clear Marathon was their new baby.
I wouldn’t be upset about this except for the fact that Bungie kept trying to pretend it wasn’t already over and they didn’t drop Destiny like a sack of bricks as soon as Marathon came out.
People like to rag on Destiny, but it really has been successful. Games the size of Destiny just don’t last this long. That’s what makes the end so alarming. D1 had D2, which helped a lot. It didn’t FEEL like it was ending. I know they all but said “Something Destiny is coming”, but not having anything announced right now, just feels worse.
Let it die, let it die, let it shrivel up and die.
I’m sure they will come crawling back to Destiny when Marathon finally bites it after its slow, agonizingly painful yet deserved death. Destiny 1 was pretty decently, but after learning how Jason Jones treated Joe Statens story treatments on Destiny, I won’t ever support him.

Maybe they’ll let us play all the story content they removed once they have a reason to stop removing content to sell more.

Warframe is still going strong. Much of that is the result of competent developers and managers who don’t absolutely suck dog eggs.

Man. It had its ups and downs, but it will always hold a special place in my heart!
Came back every now and then and decided to call it a good time to walk away with that amazing final mission in The Final Shape.
