my serious thoughts is that destiny was made more for the money than for the fans; with halo having nothing to stand on and no money, being picked up by microsoft was a huge deal for them, and they put everything into the quality of content rather than making the extra buck
everything in destiny is designed first and foremost to make money; either an item they think people will latch on to in order to PREORDER the game, or a patch that will GET YOU TO BUY EVERVERSE, or a cool clip that will MAKE YOU COME BACK FOR DLC - - making money isn't a crime, and it's good to support yourself and your family, but there is no soul here
destiny only flourished off the namesake of BUNGIE, the creators of the original Halo, the game would never have sold so well, nor would it have had such a continued fan base without that prestige, - - i, like many others, are on the final straw in Destiny 2 - - if they haven't learned 100% what TO DO, and what NOT TO DO, it'll be the last Bungie title i ever support

the fact that there is no story, and no drive to positive player action in the post-game, there are too many children in destiny - - too many kids who "-blam!-" your mom, too many children that "know exactly what to do bro" - - too many infants who are, quite frankly, -blam!-ing retarded
the learning curve is so massive, i have heard of the stress and insanity of this game's LFG being used as a construct model for the psychological state of mass murderers and sociopaths
the game should have focused on story above all else, in a true open world - - a complete Platinum playthrough should have taken over 100 hours, and end-game should have been about a Hoard Mode, with crucible being something fun to do on the side, but nothing serious
trials of osiris is the worst thing that has ever happened to this game, even more than the lag, non-dedicated servers, and ever weapon patch of all time
anyhow, i'm about -blam!-ing tired as shit and pretty pissed off, i think that's good enough for now

I too remember the glory days of Halo, when Bungie operated as a charity. I remember how they developed five Halo titles and gave them away to me and all their other loyal fans. I definitely don't remember being t-bagged and hearing racial slurs over local chat from squeeking 10 year old prodigies. Get real dude. Literally the only reason why Halo was rated M was because of blood spatter. Nothing else makes it a "Mature" game, not as far as the ESRB is concerned. I love the Halo series, but there isn't 100 hours of campaign playtime across Halo: CE all the way through Halo: Reach.
