If you missed @GCXEvent this year, that’s okay. If you’re having FOMO that literally everyone was there, that you missed the huge Destiny presentation, that everyone was out chillin with everyone, and that all your friends/creators/clanmates went… you should.
Get fucked.
At what point does Hermen step down?
- Buys bungie for 3.6 billion only to layoff more than half of the studio, launch an underperforming game and kill Destiny
- Invests heavily into Concord (buys the studio & IP) only to shut it down less than 2 weeks after launch
- Buys Haven Studios, but founder & the game director leave because fairgames fails testing & has to be completely reworked
- Buys remake studio Bluepoint to have them work on a GoW live service, shuts them down
- Lets Guerrilla Games work for countless years on a fortnite Horizon game that is only appealing to a very small audience, but likely costs 300 million dollars + to make
- Partners with a studio who reveal 4loop a new live service to lukewarm reception
- Let Days Gone team Sony bend work on a live service game, cancels the game so many years & money is lost
- Lets London Studios known for VR games & other titles work on a live service, shuts them down
- Opens Dark Outlaw games by former Call of Duty Zombies people, shuts the studio down
I might be forgetting things... what a generation.
The drama over the Dual Destiny mission not being solo is the same energy as folks complaining they can't complete everything in the game and can't have everything handed to them.
In a social-based game, sometimes the best loot is behind a social-based activity. Just because it doesn't cater to your needs, doesn't mean it's an "L activity" from Bungie. Dual Destiny is an S Tier mission. There are TONS of folks looking to find a partner. There are TONS of guides already out there. Is it really that hard to make a move and clear it ONCE? After that, farm chests solo.
If the idea of finding a gaming partner is really this life or death for you, then maybe this game and this item ain't for you.
The mission is there. You can click it. You can make a move. Step outside your comfort zone. Had a bad experience before? Had a bad social experience? I can promise you that for every bad egg out there, there are many more good eggs willing to help. Look around for the right places. Talk. Stop making excuses. Stop playing the victim.
Don't just assume your experiences are final. And don't throw a bunch of bullshit at me like "Oh my problems" "You're insensitive" "You don't care" etc.
I'M TRYING TO HELP AND INSPIRE YOU TO MAKE A MOVE!
You'll grow from this. Now - GROW!
