Destiny's Downfall

Destiny: Is it to Blame on the Players?

          

         Many people are aware of the video game Destiny. It's also undergone a huge critique and this is what I believe caused Destiny to be ridiculed quite harsh.
 

          I personally loved the game when it first came out. I logged countless hours in the upwards of about 50-60 hours into the game doing the story, PVP and strikes. However, for what Bungie built up Destiny to be, they really fell short on their promises and the expectations they instilled in their audience. Bungie has undergone a lot of criticism as well with the rumors of them banning people who found the glitch into the area of Venus called "The Terminus". A YouTuber showed everyone how to methodically make it into the glitched area shown here. Not only are these rumors been going around and they have not yet been addressed by Bungie yet, but they also are undergoing scrutiny over having DLC on the discs already. This is also linked with "The Terminus" video above and is supposed to be a 2015 DLC content. Bungie has yet to comment as to why the content is already on the disc. 

         Now I find the content and levels already on the disc to be fine. It basically means that you won't have to download a 2GB dlc content because the majority of the content is already on the disc. at that point you are only downloading the enemies and a few other minute details for the DLC, but for the major parts of the level they can include on the disc. This though is just speculation as Bungie hasn't commented on this yet as well. 

        To finish off this topic here I feel what plagued Destiny the worst was that it was the best game to come out on the next-gen consoles. I enjoyed that and played it more than Madden 15, or Diablo 3 or even Battlefield 4. Even the Destiny crew admitted that more hours were played and logged on Destiny than they anticipated and shattered their goals and objectives. Having this made people expect such a great game which Bungie failed to accomplish, paired with their poor PR management on sensitive issues and creating a game that many people played the hell out of. No matter if it's your favorite song, favorite game, or favorite movie; too much of one thing is bad, and that's what I believe ultimately plagued the Destiny franchise. Let's just hope their DLC in December has a ton of content to bring back it's players.
