Love the Pale Heart.
The highs and lows of the campaign.
The add density. The number of events. It feels [i]alive[/i]. The blessings make me feel powerful.
How rewarding everything is, [b]ESPECIALLY EVEN IF YOU'RE A SOLO.[/b]
[u]Prismatic is bonkers.[/u]
The lush gardens to the unsettling corrupted bits. The faces and hands evoke feelings of Kentaro Miura's work. Or perhaps the forbidding settings of a SoulsBorne game. Or Hideaki Anno's Evangelion.
The raid was phenomenal, especially that final fight. Excision tugs at the heart strings of the veterans. The extra risks with armor and weapon design are greatly appreciated.
[b]I loved Dual Destiny[/b]. From it's secrets, challenges, and twists. Savathûn makes a truly memorable fun moment in Destiny to share with friends for a potentially incredible exotic.

The cutscenes. The choice to use the original music over the lanterns scene that threw me back a decade ago.
You guys have done an amazing job so far with this one!

I agree with you in general. I can't judge Dual Destiny because I have not completed the campaign yet. I don't like the idea of locking a "necessary" item behind LFG. But other than that, people seem to enjoy it. As for the campaign, I am in the final boss fight on legendary. The furtherest I have gotten is when the prismatic psions appear. My last wipe was because a couple of them charged me before I was ready. By the time I went prismatic and started shooting, I was dead. I know I can do it, but I am having to learn how to get past each phase and then try again. The scenes are probably the best in Bungie history, and remind me of the best of the past. "Oh, this is the D1 Tower." "Hey, this reminds me a little of the Crota raid." The storyline and dialogue are better than most action movies' stories and dialogue (perhaps this is faint praise). I might have dialed back the number of mechanics and number of boss fights a bit. Sometimes, you need a break from that, and the campaign does not give you many breaks. But, I really enjoyed figuring out and working my way through all of the fights so far. And, Prismatic is cool.
