Also living in your own little place is both really cool but also money being tight and also me being a bit of a lazy bum is a fairly bad combo :c
Miss streaming a fair bit, just not really sure what ill do whenever i have free time
- Really cool gesture for the people who have been there since the beginning
- complains that they dont get it because they weren’t there since the beginning
It’s funny because for the vast majority of the games life, some of the least appealing rewards for the vast majority of people was emblems, and now they provide at least one that is seen as universally cool, now there’s an availability issue.
So as someone who has played Destiny since the beginning of it as a franchise, i cannot really stomach how vindictive people are about the situation.
I understand feeling frustrated, at the powers that be, at management, at the result, but the tantrum people have been throwing as if Destiny did not have a generational run is perplexing.
At risk of sounding like a corn ball, I owe a lot to Destiny, it’s been a formative part of my life to such a degree I cannot possibly put it into writing, I would love to see it continue as a franchise, but not how it has been for the past few years, it has been dragging its feet for far too long and while it sucks that it ended the way it did, it was inevitable.
The Final Shape was its peak and should have been where it ended imo, even when it past us by and i was so sure of myself that I would be in for the long haul like so many others, it just lost me. I only played the first episode for like a month, skipped Episode 2, and absolutely loved Heresy, but i only really played it at the last couple weeks, then EoF lost me entirely and Renegades was only really so satisfying for me specifically because I had to interface with the portal so little i could pretend it wasn’t there.
The decline of the game has been ongoing for so long I doubt many people who are proudly sporting the #wewantdestiny3 hashtag even remember when it stopped feeling like a second home, and I’m not sure if we can actually get the actual sequel that the consensus thinks they deserve.
Would I play it? Probably, I ain’t so up in the clouds or think myself above people that if they jingled the keys I wouldn’t at least give it a look, but I cannot imagine it would have even a fraction of the content or staying power that it would need for people to be satisfied, and I dont say that because I think the people asking for it is ungrateful, it’s just unrealistic.
To manage it, it would need to dwarf the entirety of Destiny 2 as it is right now, and even in its relatively, at least in comparison to its peak, anemic state, it is a virtually insurmountable task.
How many Raids, Dungeons, Strikes, Patrol zones, Campaign missions, cinematic, exotics, exotic quests, secrets, Playlists, Subclasses, Weapon types, Perks, and so on do you really think would be enough? Not to mention even the concept of all of them being up to the standard that we would not any compromise for us to feel it deserves its “3”.
The idea that attacking Marathon would somehow achieve that when in reality the only thing i can see that doing is just liquidating the franchise for good, and I say this as a fan of the game in question, if you dont like it, I understand, its not for everyone, just dont play it, it truly is that simple, sign that petition too while you’re at it if you feel that strongly over it.
I have personally felt to turned off from Destiny after everything that has transpired since the announcement of its closure, it hurts me too man, I get it, I love Destiny and D2, but its gone from excitement to play it one more time to celebrate it one last time with my found family to just wanting to distance myself away from it all.
Thanks for coming to my shitty Twitter post, I’m sure someone will actually end up reading all of it and not just post a steam chart or something
