I'm starting to think that all the complaints about PvE's superficial brevity and monotony are unwarranted: Halo gave us a decade of discrete, linear Campaigns, but was there ever any complaining about those? Maybe from the open-world lovers or multiplayer-only 'enthusiasts', but the enormous majority of fans had no qualms, and I can't think of any fans I know personally who were annoyed with Halo's Campaign structure.
Destiny has far more to offer the non-competitive player than Halo ever did, at least on the conventional side of things: on top of Story missions, we have Strikes, Raid(s?) and Public Events, as well as generally dicking about in Explore. There may be more stuff that we don't know about yet. Hopefully. So why the complaining?
I understand the feature set, as far as we know, is drastically reduced, excluding Theatre, a map editor and, an omission bordering on the criminal, Custom Games, but how many Campaign players used those? I'm not saying we should forgive those omissions because of the amount of activities in PvE, but people are focusing a lot of their anger on PvE, which is more feature rich than any of the Halo games. So what's the deal?

A lot of the Unique brand of fun in Halo came from Forge/Custom Games. I really hope Destiny 3 (like Halo 3) brings a new map editor/custom game mode.

Most of the people complaining about PvE are your typical Halo/Battlefield/Call of Duty fanboys. They've only ever played PvP. They haven't the attention span to complete PvE events.

People are going to find a reason to complain about everything. :/ It's unfortunate, all your questions will be answered with the full game release.
-
Who is to say that they won't add theater, custom games, and Forge in later? Complaining about multiple planets and areas to explore and traverse doesn't seem like a bad deal in the least. Plus, numerous random events, missions, and the like keep it entertaining.

Edited by Halcyonic Chaos: 8/7/2014 11:15:06 AMThey did clearly say that PvE is where all the unique gear is at. You can bet however much you want that i'll be farming for my thundergod LMG or zombie hunter.

bro for all who think the game isn't good enough or should be changed make your own game? their is no perfect game who can satisfy everyones wishes...

I feel like normal enemies needs to be a bit harder. Because like you could destroy 50 dregs easily but then one semi-boss and you're toast unless you play conservatively. There's too much of a gap there.

Because people like to bitch. Everyone wants something different in this game, even before it has been released.
