Now before we all start clamoring over one another to shout out our most recent peeves on what Destiny did to us today, let's stop and think about this. If you don't know what I mean, try this: Go to wherever it is you play games and turn off the lights. Turn up the TV, turn off your phone, and cancel out any and all other distractions. Just play Destiny.
It's boring. Why is it boring?
Is it just me that experiences this?
I like the gunplay, of course. The gunplay is really what draws me to the game, that and some kind of tantilizing addiction to the gear dangled just out of reach by the random loot generator.
But that's not what I mean.
When I stop planning out my character and exit the PS party or turn off the movie on my computer and actually focus on what's happening in the game, I get this overwhelming urge to stop and play or watch something more interesting because the game is [i]boring[/i].
Why is that?

Severe lack of endgame. Literally everything in this game is done to improve your loot, so once you top off your ideal character, you realize how depressingly empty this game is. Strikes are a repetitive pain, story is a bland grind, and crucible is fun for an hour but it lacks variety and is broke as hell.
