Destiny

Hearing positive things about Taken King, hopped back into Destiny this weekend. Played some Crucible - wasn't as god awful as I thought I would have been.

At least now there are swords in the game.

But, you have to be lvl 40 to get them, so... **** that.

If you're gonna add melee weapons to the game, do it right.

You don't like the melee weapon mechanics?

Yeah the Taken King has been a lot of fun for me and crucible has been the most balanced it has been in a long time.

So you'd recommend the DLC too? Worth the price of admission?

The weapon balance between types is much better and the new subclasses are a lot of fun.

Can we comment on the fact that Taken King is what Destiny should of been a year ago and it shouldn't be labelled as a good thing.

It only took a year and needing to pay a shitload of money to get the game that was promised. If this any other game, it would be crucified.

Yeah we can comment on that

It's pretty garbage

The Crucible was always fun, just hard to play competitively with all the one-hit kills.

Getting to level 40 is so easy and fast lol. And the hassle to get the exotic swords is well worth it. They absolutely wreck PvE content.

Crucible is more "balanced" now. But the state of hand canons and auto rifles is sad when you remember what they used to be.

Destiny is a much better game now. Yes there have been a lot of setbacks and money grabbing, but here is to a brighter future.

Which means they're more likely to pull that crap again. Yay, right?

I think it's biggest problem was the lack on content per individual gaming niche it was trying to get.

The gameplay, visuals, and atmosphere of the game were great.

But it didn't have enough in one area to keep everyone happy. It didn't have enough story content for the story minded gamers. It didn't have enough balance in PvP for the multiplayer gamers, it didn't have enough side questing or fun general quests for the PvE people, and it put the grind to you early on. They also made some bad design decisions like making gear so hard to get and requiring certain gear to reach certain light levels to be able to advance in level.

I think moving forward Destiny is on the right track.

I'm still trying to get through all my quest items from the new content. I have story missions I have not been able to get around to yet. Of course my gaming time as scaled back some since when I was first playing.
