WHY I left Destiny (and how to make destiny better)
I recently moved to ps4 and got black ops 3 for it. I LOVE it. Why?
-I don't have to grind that much to get weapons, and don't have to rely on rng for them (except loot pack weapons)------>THIS IS A COMPLETELY PERSONAL REASON WHY I LEFT, DESTINY IS A RANDOMLY-AQUIRED-LOOT-BASED GAME, SO IT IS MEANT TO BE THIS WAY
- I'm not forced to play PvE to up my light for PvP (such as trials) because there aren't play-time restricted modes, and prestige doesn't really give you any advantage
-Guns ACTUALLY do things (Bungie is SOOO crazy about nerfs that guns take millions of years to kill, and the guns feel like toy guns. Blops 3 guns feel POWERFUL. Also, the guns are pretty well-balanced in blops 3, while guns keep changing in Destiny (I'm looking at you, Last Word).
-Supers aren't that crazy in PvP because BAM...sniper headshot in your super or before you can get close to use it (such as Fist of Havoc). Blops 3 specialists are REALLY good if you can use them well (such as Sparrow), and they are well-balanced.
While I REALLY enjoyed Destiny while I played it (and yes, I played a LOT), I never knew what I was missing until Black Ops 3. You have powerful, balanced guns and specialists, and you don't have to grind hours to have fun.
Note to Bungie: Make the grind less real, listen to the community, and try to not nerf EVERYTHING.

1 ReplyI am the polar opposite. Played cod from the beginning, all the way up to the present, over 10 years. Played every single one(excluding cod 3, it never came to PC) and while some of your agruements make sense, others don't have much ground when it comes to destiny. First off, gun balance. Everything is more or less balanced in cod because pretty much every gun kills in 3 bullets to the foot, 90% of the game is just spray and pray, not to mention endless grenade spam on EVERY game type. Basically what happens in every cod game is players take the highest rof gun with the best range/stability and go from there. (Mp7/acr-mw3) which I would argue, is far from "balanced" Also supers/ults, shouldn't be a thing in cod, ever, was a bad addition and should stay out of the cod franchise, that is completly irrelevant and a total opinion, just wanted to put that out there. Also...you do kinda have to grind for weapons in bops3, and it's arguably harder than in destiny. Destiny puts guns into seperate activities that you KNOW you can get them from. Want a fatebringer? Vog Grasp? Omnigul Eyesluna? Pvp While cod forces you to play for loot chests which is [i]complete[/i] rng, and basically the only way to get one hit melee weapons[spoiler]side note, the removal of one hit melee in bops3 is idiotic, should never have been a thing, and now that they put melee weapons in chests it looks more like a straight cash grab than actual balance to gameplay.[/spoiler] Play time restricted modes in destiny pvp is what keeps the game fresh for a lot of people...bops 3 has the same, never changing modes, forever, there's a lot of them, sure, but they never change, and after playing for a very long time, basically only the party games keep any part of the game interesting. Supers can also be shut down in destiny with a snipe to the head...so not sure why bops3 supers count as more balanced... Overall cod in general gets repeatably boring because it's almost totally pure pvp, (zombies get old even faster). Where as destiny has a plethora of things to do...although currently were in a dry spell content wise...I'm still never tempted to turn on my copy of cod over destiny.
