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?

Destiny only has like maaaaaaybe 10 hours of actual content. Even Diablo 3 which has the same kind of shit rng has better replay value because the levels are always changing and so are the encounters. Here it's just the same crap over and over. Same weapons reskinned with hive entrails wrapped around them. The exotic resets, rep resets for ib, new material requirements for expac raid gear, etc etc. It's all just a lame attempt at artificially extending low content. It works for a while but people wise up. I hope they save this game for the people. I just log on Tuesday's because my fire team needs me. Other than that maybe an hour of pvp on the weekend. And trust me, making more chars to help with the boredom will only make it worse. You think levelling and bitch grinding one char is bad? Try doing that x3.
