Please don't FORCE online.
I keep hearing Destiny is an Online Game. Fine.
Yet please for the love of that's good can Bungie please not FORCE online connection
"What do you mean Dude?"
If your online goes off. If your connection is bad. You should STILL be able to play this game. You should not HAVE to be on a connection of any sort to play this.
"But Dude. Everyone has online. Tis the future"
I'de agree if online was 100 free and easy. But it isn't. 100% of players don't all have online. And forcing Online doesn't add anything to the game. It subtracts and alienates people. Worse off it makes players feel forced and unfree.
"But it's the future. SIngle Player is boring. Online ALL DA WAY"
Nope.

One of the biggest problems with the always online strategy is, that once the servers go down you can't play the game anymore. So no more reliving your favorite level, no more nostalgia, etc.. And when I buy a game I would like to play the game every once in a while, even after some years. Imagine that you couldn't play Halo without being online, that would mean that you couldn't play the H:CE and H2 campaigns, you couldn't play slayer with your little brother. You couldn't show your PS friends what they have been missing for all those years. Also they say the world will be changing as ypu play online. Firstly why should that mean that you can't make an offline character, because even if the world will change, most changes will go unnoticed because you can't be everywhere at once. Secondly we really have to wait and see if those changes will make the always online worth it, because game developers have promised us a lot of things in the past but didn't always deliver.
