In Response To: Re: On Bungie and the Value of the Player's Time (Wayward Spleen™)

Particularly this:
: Where I used to play for fun - I've found myself tailoring my playing around
: what challenges are present. Which, since Bungie is trying to keep people
: mixing things up, tends to be all over the place.
: I still have fun doing so, but not nearly the level I did prior-to-grifball
: in Halo 3 (GB changed my entire focus and in a sense, "ruined"
: vanilla Halo 3 for me).
Challenges drive me to play the game more, but make me enjoy it less. I hate that. I hate booting up another game and thinking "Man, I'm missing the dailies in Reach...can I really justify that?"
Also, Cody, would be interested to hear more on your thoughts about why the Reach beta was so good, because I felt exactly the same way and yet I'm having a hard time pinning down what changed between beta and final that made the beta better. I have this vague suspicion that the rough edges and imbalances made the game better.
