It took you long enough Bungie! I may have to get on destiny to check this out when it comes around. I probably won't do anything else in Destiny because I'm done with it, but this seems really cool.
I, and many other people, have wanted this for a long time! Where was it at launch? Why did we not get it earlier? I suppose maybe it's because Bungie can't think of a genius idea like this on their own (that explains why destiny isn't impressive). Maybe it took a while to make it and balance it? Well, idk.
I think Bungie decide to come out with this game mode now mainly because of the launch of Halo 5, BO3, fallout 4, and numerous other big games. I'm sure that if Bungie were not afraid of losing players then they would not have added this game mode. And destiny has lost many players, like I. Except I left Destiny a while ago, then played it a bit more for TTK, then left for Halo 5. So I mean, I guess this is a really good thing.
Now, this is only a out for a limited time only, which I can understand because if they kept if there forever then no one would play the other parts of destiny. But I do believe that this is a step in the right direction! With this gamemode being announced, whims to say we might not also get space battles? How cool would that be! It would be perfect for Destiny and it's universe!
I say that we can affect what kind of games developers produce, we just have to be vocal enough! We have to have enough supporters!
Destiny is an example of a game that is full of a vocal fanbase, even if they are fanboys a lot of times. It also has a vocal anti-fanbase. If we work together (the fanbase and dislikers of destiny) with Bungie, then we can help them make Destiny 2 a good game, even better than what Destiny should have been! Have I given Bungie and Activision a hard time, and you guys a hard time in the past? Sure, but I really think we can craft Destiny ourselves. We can make it not what Activision wants, but what we the consumers want, and what Bungie originally planned for it to be. The truth is that this is not the Destiny Bungie could have wanted, but with our help, we can make Destiny the game it should have been. The addition of Sparrow racing is proof of that!
So recently I have seen some negatives to the sparrow racing arise. There will be more microtransactions, and more locked content to players on Xbox. Wtf bungievision! You really want to turn something that could be good into a pice of garbage!
