A lot of good questions, but 19 must mean you've never played a single MMO (or online game for that matter) in the history of your gaming life. Literally every patch update (not just expansion) makes almost all gear become 'less useful' with newer content, and stronger gear is added. The older gear works fine with all older content (just like the guns we have will continue to be fine with all the older Destiny content), while being less useful for newer, added content. This is normal progression for any online game that has any form of growth.

  • #1 Destiny is NOT an MMO. Never has, never will be. Bungie has gone out of their way to avoid calling this an MMO. It wants to be PAID like an MMO, but calling Destiny an MMO is an insult. #2 Other RPG/Action/Shooter-esque games do not make older content on the disc irrelevant. Mass Effect didn't do it. Fallout didn't do it. GTA didn't do it. Destiny has just as much in common with games from other genres, as it does with traditional PC based MMOs, yet they do not devalue what's already on their disc. MMOs work in perpetuity, the original disc is the base point at which they expand every 2 years. Destiny isn't anything like that, and will have a Destiny 2 disc in the future, similar to Mass Effect having different discs yet continuing their story. So no, this is not normal growth, this is exploitation at it's most disgusting form.

  • Ah, I see. You're one of those mentally challenged window lickers. I thought I could have a conversation with you, but now I know better. I'll let you put on your helmet and return to your crayon scribbling. You don't merit a real reply. [spoiler]For anyone with a brain, they'll see I mentioned 'any online game'. All of the games the brain dead guy responding to me mentioned are all single player experience games with a tacked on online feature you can access, not even remotely close to Destiny's always online multi-player experience. But since he has two brain cells floating up in his head trying not to collide with one another, you can't blame him for being as stupid as he is.[/spoiler]

  • Actually, I probably have more smarts in my pinkie that you will ever experience in your entire lifetime. Destiny always being online, doesn't qualify it as an MMO. NFS will need to always be online, is that an MMO? SimCity was a DRM game, is that an MMO or even comparable to Destiny? Silent Hunter 5 was always online, is that comparable to Destiny? Xbox wanted you to always be online before they smartened up, would any Kinect game qualify? Of course not, but intellectually incapable people such as yourself have a hard time realizing that Destiny doesn't have a true peer in video games. It has bits and pieces of comparable content to multiple games. However, when other comparable games do things similar, questions will arise. But again, you don't have the ability to grasp that. Just because a game always needs to be online, you think that's a perfect comparison! Damn, I am so glad my intelligence will never fall to that rationale of stupidity. Best part is, that argument falls apart with a simple question. "Why is the campaign/20 story missions need to be online if you can do them solo?". Don't worry, bask in your own stupidity of failure.

  • Wow, just wow. Your level of stupidity really is astounding. You have no comprehension of the game you are playing and still ignored the fact that I never stated Destiny was an MMO (only compared it to them because they share some similarities) and that it was a 'multi-player' ALWAYS online game, because the actual core content of their world is saved on their servers (even your characters you play.) But I'm through trying to even get an inkling of common sense through to someone who makes mental retardation look like an advantage. Continue replying all you want to build up your sad ego and live in your isolated world of delusional logic. Meanwhile I'll be playing the game enjoying it and not crying over stupid issues that make no sense.

    I have completely comprehension, it's your lack of ability to understand English or adults that's the problem. I'm sure your parents think you're special and somehow that translates to your piss poor sense of self worth. How the core of data saves, is no different than Mass Effect (your own shitworthy example of an argument). Mass Effect shared your co-op data, which TRANSFERS to your Single Player campaign. Clearly you never played the game, and continue to argue your braindead logic. Mass Effect does exactly what Destiny does, only in reverse AND, did it over 3 separate games with campaign save data to use your prior decisions in future games. And Mass Effect doesn't need to always be online, and transferred your online co-op stats to it's core SP campaign. However, the only time your guns became irrelevant, was on a new disc experience. Mass Effect never made it's gun irrelevant, they kept their core components the same while adding more content to the game. But again, you'll point out the acute and minute differences of an example. You'll say 5 + 2 = 7... therefore the only way to get 7 is that you need a 5 and 2. Sure son, but if you're going to argue logic and nonsequitur arguments, try it with someone less intelligent than you. Start with a chimp, that's an excellent test subject.
