You can definitely enjoy something more than something else thats for sure. You can have more fun with destiny than games most would consider "better".
But there is more to an experience than just enjoyment.
Do you enjoy when certain characters in a movie book or game die? No but it enhances the "experience" and makes you think about it more.

Exactly. And everyone defines that level of enjoyment THEMSELVES. It's no one's right to shed pity on someone because of what they enjoy. In fact, it is a poor show of the understanding of taste and what it means to like something. Please, take your pity elsewhere, and let these people enjoy their game without your unjustified judgement.

Judgement? I will admit pity was too strong of a word but I am not judging anyone here. I just think they can find an even better experience than they have already found in destiny elsewhere.

[quote]Judgement? I will admit pity was too strong of a word but I am not judging anyone here. I just think they can find an even better experience than they have already found in destiny elsewhere.[/quote] I am very pleased to present The Annual Contradictory Paragraphs Award to you Guardian! So you're saying that (to your tastes and in your opinion) you've experienced better games than Destiny, and you feel that (in your tastes and in your opinion) the people playing Destiny can find a similar 'better experience' elsewhere. While this may be true, and you [i]are[/i] entitled to your opinion, you cannot escape that being labeled as judgement. You are using your own experiences to dictate what others should experience based on what you assume they have and have not. That's pretty much textbook judgement cast. Think what you will, just don't tell me it's better than what others think.

While what you are saying sounds good I would still argue that destiny does nothing to deserve that kind of attachment. I would need some example of something that makes destiny special and not just a case of "it was my first game". To agree with you completely. My point of emphasis on this issue is more on the game than the person.

Edited by FromNowOn: 6/22/2016 7:36:07 PMI'm sorry but you don't seem to understand. Some people play Candy Crush and Flappy Bird for 8 hours everyday. Does it mean that they are better games than Destiny? No.. But to them? YES. Some people enjoy Destiny for 8 hours a day. Does it mean that it is better than Flappy Bird? No.. But to them? YES. My favorite game isn't Destiny but I play Destiny the most. Does it mean Destiny is better?? NO. There are WAY too many factors involved in what makes a game better or worse than the next. These factors can range from being objective like frame rate or lag, and subjective like level design and story elements. If you're going to make the JUDGEMENT CALL on what makes a game better than the next I'd say you're delusional. You cant make that decision for everyone. You just can't People will love this game no matter how much you think others are better. You better get used to that, and you better respect it, because you'll get nothing but disrespect for criticising something that was built for enjoyment. A video game doesn't have a quantifiable "enjoyment factor" that you can statistically track and compare. Sure, the Penguins were [i]better[/i] than the Sharks this year. The Cavaliers were [i]better[/i] than the Warriors. But the concept of having a quantifiable rating of Destiny as being [i]better[/i] or [i]worse[/i] than some other game is simply too subjective to debate. You can like it, you can dislike it. But you can't tell others you're more right than they are. [spoiler]It's like saying Michael Jackson is [i]better[/i] than Michael Bublé. While I would have to agree, I'm not about to make that statement as a FACT and claim that I have the perfect compass of musical enjoyment.[/spoiler]
