If you want to buy it go ahead. I'm not urging anyone not to, I'm urging them to think about what the industry is becoming. Gaming used to be a niche market 10-20 years ago where games were made by gamers so there was always a push for greater quality. Now gaming is a multibillion dollar industry and games are made by enormous corporations. Look at what bungie did with halo, with far less resources than they had for destiny. Halo blew us away! Everything about it was new and exciting. It push our expectations for what games can be to greater heights, and did so without selling us half the game for more money over the course of a year after initial release. Halo FELT good to play. Destiny however Feels incomplete and forced. If you think destiny hasn't been dumbed down you haven't played many solid mmos or RPGs. Why do think there is no in-game economy? Why are the missions and bounties the same simple tasks over and over again? Why is gear randomly awarded? This is all to allow inexperienced, casual and younger gamers to feel like they are good at the game when the reality is the game is so dumbed down that anyone can be good at it.
