Gaming Has Changed

I see a lot of people complaining all over this forum and honestly for dumb stuff. From the game being too grind like for materials and gear to getting glimmer for breaking down ships, everyone complains about everything. If you bring up your problem with the game in a forum, guaranteed it had been said else where. I remember playing games where developers couldn't send out updates or patches. Games like the ones from the Kingdom Hearts series or the Mario Brothers franchise. Back then, if there was a problem/glitch or a difficult part of the game, you would have to shut up and grind past it. You would have to work hard to get what you wanted. I even remember a time where there was no game saves for some consoles or select games! So if you wanted to keep something, you would have to leave your console on or have someone lend you a memory card until you could finally save the damn thing. Imagine trying to do this with Destiny's constant disconnections. It would be a nightmare and make this game even more repetitive! Now a days, companies spoon feed gamers with dumbed down simplistic content. This had led the community to think that everything has to be handed to them. That they deserve everything just because they bought the game. It also discouraged players from playing complex games that require time and effort because gamers now want instant gratification for [b][i][u]everything[/u][/i][/b] rather than working for it. This is only proven by how major games, COD and Destiny, have recycled and repetitive content. It's easy, people get it, and it sells well. I'm disappointed in what the gaming community has become. Stop complaining. Destiny is way better now than it was on release date. Count your blessings, shut up and just have fun with your friends.

    I have been playing games for 34 years, and I have always said that instant respawn destroyed gaming. Games used to require skill to complete. It was an achievement to finish a game on a single life, not because the game was easy, but because the game was hard. Checkpoints never existed when I was a child. you had three lives. if you died, you started the life again at the start of the level, if you lost the three lives, the game was over. This is was what gaming used to be, this is what gaming should be. Instead we have instant respawn, and an auto entitlement generation that refuse to learn anything new, or challenge themselves, and expect everything a game has to offer, just because they bought it.
