I'll preface this post with a little back story on my gaming history. I'm 31 years old and fell in love with video games on Christmas Day of '89. My parents purchased our family an NES with Mario Bros., Tetris, and Rad Racer. I was so immersed from the very start. Since then I have owned just about every console that has come to market. Over the years my preference in games has changed many times. I loved those first NES games, but later moved on to NBA Jam and Ken Griffey's RBI Baseball with friends on Suer NES. Twisted Metal on the Playstation. Then came Goldeneye on the N64. My views on gaming would never be the same. Halo will forever hold a place in my heart. First person shooters are my absolute favorite. Fast forward to current day, and I'm a middle-aged father and husband. I work 60 hours a week in a managerial role within the pharmaceutical industry. Games had begun to take a back seat to "life". I didn't seem to find myself turning on my playstation or xbox very often. Then came Destiny! In the last 5 years I've put less time into video games collectively, than I have Destiny in the last 5 weeks. I made my very first PSN "friend" after joining this forum. I've recently purchased a headset and mic. I've scheduled time with my wife to be free to do the raid, weeklies, nightfall, etc. each Tuesday evening and Saturday morning. I've learned what an mmo and rpg are all about. I now know what "nerf", "buff", "cheese" and many other acronyms stand for. I've found new love in something that was so special to me as a child. And I gained all of this from Destiny, by way of Bungie. I too can point out several flaws within the game (lack of story, repetitive grind, limited social interaction), and hope that over time they will be addressed. However, in the meantime I'm having a BLAST playing, making new friends and memories![/quote]
