I miss the old bungie
TL:DR Bungie was changed for the worst.
I'm an elder mythic member from the ye old times of bungie. When the old hawtness was the new hawtness. When we could get jokes about "sofish" the "disembodied soul", "pimps a the sea".
Seriously I had to play destiny just to participate? I' have been a member for years and I wasn't allowed to talk until I downloaded the Destiny demo that's messed up. That's like bungie telling me that all my years as a fan mean nothing unless I buy Destiny (never mind me buying all their games before that one).
Speaking of Destiny ... it's such a disappointment. The story was weak (compared to halo and marathon's amazing lore). "I don't have time to explain why I don't have time to explain"... really Bungie? The game is nothing but a huge Skinner box. A mindless waste of time.

I miss the old days I could spend days with fellow bungie fans on their story, plots and lore. They fired the legendary Maty Odonell. The one that made Halo's music legendary on shitty fiasco. Seriously guys... he was a genius and worth every cent.
Then they made the entire staff to rewrite the amazing story destiny was supposed and made Joseph Staten leave, because the higher ups didn't like it :/ [url]http://kotaku.com/the-messy-true-story-behind-the-making-of-destiny-1737556731[/url]
I do think Bungie was better with Microsoft than with Activition.
/Rant over.

1 ReplyI think a large portion of the loss was the disappearance of the content creators and curators; those community individuals that kept the lore alive. A lot of the old guard left during the "darkness" days between Reach and Destiny. The second part of the equation would be the shift in the gaming culture as a whole. It's more more interconnected now, with third party interests, such as Twitch, Let's Plays, and other Op Ed-like content taking center stage for extra-game entertainment and community cohesion. There's just not much of a market for people who grew up on Bungie.net versus those that now grow up in gaming/on the internet. To me, it's sort of like the Eternal September of my generation.
