I find it strange when adults play this game. Like there have been times where I join a party of people thinking they are about my age and then all of them are like 30+. It's sickening! To think that some guy that has a job and a family is wasting their time on a game meant for teens and some kids (depends on parents). Like shouldn't you adults be buying this for your kids and not your selves? Sure you want to have the feeling of being a kid again but really I find it extremely sad that full grow adults make up the majority of this community.
This unbalances the community of teens to adults giving adults more power which they have always had. Adults have their power in real life and shouldn't have the power here. Yes I know that bungie is made by adults but targeted for teens. I remember watching my uncle play halo when he was 16. Everyone i watched him play with were all about his age 13-19. I never saw or heard one adult on there. Even on other games like cod and battle field not one adult. Teens had the power! Now on destiny all these adults popping up. When I went to go get destiny opening night, there were more adults than teens there. I understand that there are 20 year olds out there that are here from the halo community. I think that this is some what better than 30+ year olds because the majority of people in their twenties have not gotten married yet. This is fine to me. But when you are a person that is married and has a kid or multiple kids, it is your responsibly to take care of your family. Not spending countless hours on a video game to where you are not focused on your family. Now some of you adults may say, "we are not obsessed with destiny and spend a healthy time on it and with our families." Ok well how much time do you spend with your kids after work? Or do you go right on to destiny? Are you dads of destiny actually being dads? Are you helping your son with that chemistry home work or helping your teammates with Crota hard mode?
Every day when my dad comes home from work he gives everybody a huge hug and asks us how are days went. Then he makes us dinner and some times we will go and do something as a family. He will always help me when I need it or be there for me at all my sports events. If he can't do any of these things it's usually from a logical reason like he is still at work or he is helping some one else. The point is that he is spending time with the family and not on a gaming console alone. I have seen though some adults here that play destiny and their son or daughter plays it too. These people though I have noticed are not as obsessed as adults that don't have kids that play destiny.
So sure leave your hate you stuck up adults say im immature. Correct my spelling and grammar, say im just a teen that is trying to make a point. But think about this. Are you spending memory making times with your children?
Have a happy Father's Day

Edited by Ethozz: 6/22/2015 12:26:00 AMGod man why are we even arguing about this. More than likely if they are an adult then they have more life experience than you so let them live their life. To me if you are an adult and can spend time with your family and fulfill your role as a parent AND play video games then by all means go ahead, more power to ya. About half the people in my friends list are adults and about 90% of them are nice, respectful people
-
Don't worry, your attitude will change when you become an adult, and hopefully, you will understand how ignorant this post was.
-
Your comment is so abhorrently stupid, I'm about to give up on this generation. You better not give lip to a possible future employer. It seems this generation is a failure...
-
Why? You have no proof of your point. He makes a great argument and you have no proof of your opinion. If anyone here is abhorrently stupid, it's you because you don't even make an argument. By the way, fathers can cook too you sexist!
-
I was being sarcastic with the other post, and if you read this, it is an ignorant 13 year old telling people that they shouldn't spend their time doing something that he does, and that he allocates time for. Evidently he doesn't know about scheduling, or having spare time as an adult.
-
He is saying that it is directed to teens not adults, so he wasn't being hypocritical. Also, every parent I know spends all of their time at work, with family, or with friends.
-
Then you must not play with adults then. Why would he direct this at teenagers, when most of the time they aren't parents?
-
That makes no sense. What are you trying to say?
-
You said he is directing that to teenagers. You also stated that the adults you know are ether work, with friends or family. I replied saying you must have not played with adults then, as you previous comment supports that claim.
-
I said the parents that I know. I don't know anyone I play with.
-
Well then meet the Dads of Destiny clan. Honestly, I've met plenty of parents (single adult here), and I think they just have spare time, away from all that the 13 year old mentioned. The fact of the matter is that he is ignorant. He doesn't understand that different people prioritize different items. Some parents are "helicopter parents", meaning they watch and control their actions. Some parents are "free roam parents" and let their children do as they please. Other parents, hover in the in between zone, where their children learn how to fend for themselves and also how to deal with closely guarding parents. I'm presuming OP is a child subjected to "free roam parenting" with he/she is able to make his/her own decisions without the input of the parents, but maybe requesting items at irregular intervals. Make sense?

[quote]Then he makes us dinner...[/quote] Do you not have a mother or something?
-
Not going to say you're grammar is wrong, just your immature ignorant opinion. The guys and gals who made this game are old enough to be your aunts uncles even parents. So go write a thesis on why the hobbit is a literary masterpiece instead of calling out your elders child.
-
I grew up playing video games. I still enjoy them. Some adults grew up playing sports. They still play in work leagues and such. Same thing. When you're old enough to actually have an informed opinion about jobs and family and parenting then those long winded rants might mean something. To quote a popular phrase from down here in the South, "Hush. Grown folks are talking."
-
I don't have kids or a wife to worry about. And as you loved playing games when I was young. Oddly enough, I didn't grow out of it. 20 years from now I'll probably be playing video games in the nursing home, lol hopefully I'm still with it to live in my own home. And you will be a 45 yearold video gamer, trying to explain why, "you," want to play with adults.
-
Lol I hate people who think "oh you're too old to play video games"
-
Shut up Meg
-
Nice try but a very ignorant post. Who are you to tell people what they should do? Never did i hear that this game is only for teens.
-
33 no kids ( Thank god) Play destiny with clan all aged from 20 - 36 Most of us are in our 30's Peace

I understand your passion for what you are writing. And know that I am a 28 year old father of a 6 year old and have a baby on the way, so maybe my opinion is biased. That being said, this has to be one of the most naive posts I've ever read. First, you being a "kid", it is unlikely that you have any comprehensive perspective on what being a man/husband/father actually entails. You respect your father, and what he is to you, and that is wonderful. But, he doesn't set the standard for what father's should be. I'm sure he possesses many great care giving and fatherly attributes, but there is no #1 exact template for being a father. Second, different father's can easily have different roles based on the family outline. Stay at home fathers, ones who travel far for work, ones who work 4 12 hour shifts, etc. This allocates different time frames one might be available for certain things. Sometimes opposing schedules will make a father available for family time when the family is already asleep, or at school. And finally, to reiterate, there is no formal template for how a father should allocate his time. I work 7 days a week as a farmer. I can work anywhere from 4-16 hours a day and usually bank an average of 60 per week. I live on my farm. This allows me to be the one to pick up and drop off my child at school (interdistrict transfer = no public transportation). Every second I am not working is spent with my daughter and wife. But, to enjoy the entertainment I get from hobbies, I game from 9pm to 2am 3 days a week, when my wife and child are asleep. I pay for it in the am, having to get up at 6, but for me to enjoy what it is that I love to do, it's worth it. The original gaming generation is getting older and older, and some may think it's socially correct to give up gaming at a certain age, some may not. What you need to realize is everyone has their own unique outlook on what is socially acceptable and what is not, but either way, what you think and what your father does do not shape the standard for what is "correct".

Someone needs their Dad to give them a hug. My son is 11. We both play Destiny. He's learned A LOT about being a team player, effective communication and how to play as a more mature player. But we also have times where we just play for fun. Run around Crota just the two of us. In today's age talking with your kids and having something on common comes in many many forms. He takes Karate after school, we work on homework together and we try to eat at the dinner table together as much as possible. Playing Destiny has given us time to connect away from all the other distractions in our lives. I play a lot by myself as well. Why? Because I enjoy the game. I grew up playing Nintendo. I'm grown up and play Destiny. When you become an adult you'll understand that your outlook on life right now is still in its infancy.

Pick that -blam!-ing mic back up. You just made teenagers look like assholes. Who are you to assume a person should be doing the things you say they should. Who are you to say what other people should and shouldn't be doing. Take care of yourself douchenozzle.
