I've logged over 72 days of Destiny now but I still can't seem to stop playing. I've bought a multitude of other games in the 2+ years since Destiny was first released but I keep gravitating back to my favourite game. The way it feels when you pull the trigger, the little details that almost go unnoticed and the amazing community of people put this game in a league of its own.
I'll never forget when the beta was released. I was out of town for work and couldn't get the hotel WiFi to work with my Xbox One (yes I fly with it). I had to burn through some phone data but I made it to level 8 on all three classes that week which, at the time, was the level cap. Ever since then, the only game worth any investment of time is Destiny. Yes, it has its flaws and yes, you have to grind through strikes but somehow Bungee found a way to make playing the same strike/raid for the 1000th time, backwards or forwards, fun. Every. Single. Time. Maybe it's because this time omnigal dropped that pulse rifle you've always wanted. Or maybe it's because this time you got that year one fatebringer that in no way is relevant anymore but [i]holy crap i got a fatebringer!!!! It's time for a zombie dance!!![/i].
Another piece that keeps me coming back are the quests. The seemingly never ending, weekly refreshing quests. Think you've finished them all? Check your abandoned quests. Those done too? Check the weekly crucible bounty. Oh, and check all the public spaces because someone has something for you to do. There is no lack of the carrot for us players.
Whatever it is that makes Destiny....well, Destiny, it's special. It's unique. It's the best thing since sliced bread. Thank you for making this game bungie.
