In Response To: Re: Might as well set down some future predictions (Cody Miller)


: Wrong! They are all .net!

: Anyway my predictions follow, which are more likely: -Destiny will have Day 1
: DLC (this is actually confirmed).
: -Destiny will have a shitty player reward system, wasting player's times and
: making the game worse (this is all but confirmed).
: -Destiny will be free to play (or at least offer micro transactions), wasting
: player's times.
: -I will probably make a long, controversial post about how Destiny's
: mechanics are morally and creatively bankrupt.
: -Bungie will finally actually sell out, as per Matt Soell's definition.
: -Destiny will have gimicky kinect features.
: -The PC version will have awful DRM, and be a sub par version. The Mac
: version will be nonexistant.
: -The achievements will be ultra lame.
: -It will be the first Bungie game I do not play (at least I TRIED Weekend
: Warrior).
: -Destiny won't be at MLG.

: Bleak future for a company I once considered the best in the business.

#2 and #3 would really have me concerned about the new ecosystem and gameplay of the new IP if they both are revealed as true. Reach's system of earning points and buying helmets wasn't my favorite (and I still believe it's best to let each player fully customize their playable character the way they want from the get go), but it didn't force me to change the way I play or the playlists I play in order to unlock what seems to be my favorite aesthetic piece of armor (like Halo4, yuck!).

It would be really disheartening (YES, disheartening, not world-ending, just disheartening!) for Bungie's new IP to implement something similar or even worse, cost you real money to buy them aka microtransactions. That would be the kind of stuff that would encourage me skipping out on the game.
