I want to make three points as to why Destiny 1 & 2 is my favorite game of all time.
1. Story.
The story in Destiny is one of the best is any game that I have ever played. The story on the surface is not the most detailed and investing. However, the lore adds that certain "spice" to it. the lore and the story combined leads to a very investing story and one that in my opinion, you can't back out of. the story has always been interesting even when more expansions are released, which is something I can't say for most games. Each expansion brings more to the table while not overshadowing the stuff that was already there.
2. Multiplayer.
The multiplayer is destiny has always added another level to the game. The multiplayer has always been balanced from the single player story as to not overpower anything else. The first thing that most people think of in destiny when they think of multiplayer is The Crucible. The Crucible has (most of the time) been balanced and fun with Bungie always adding different game modes and playlists for the players to chose from. The other thing that people think of when they think of Destiny multiplayer is the Strikes and Raids which brings me to my next point.
3. Community.
From what i remember from the first year of destiny 1 there were always people and groups that would help people get to know the game and give them pointers. (that is something I can't say about the community now.). People would also treat people as equals even if they have not played a Raid before or they were not good at Crucible. People were also willing to teach people how to do things such as Raids. I personally remember being taught how to do Crota's End and the Vault of Glass. After they taught me, I taught others how to do it.
4. Final Thoughts.
It is a shame how Destiny has really become underwhelming. I have spent 10k+ Hours on the game Xbox and PC combined. I hope that Bungie improves the game and makes it more appealing to new players and veteran players like me.
The last thing I want to say is Thanks Bungie! Thanks for all of the Friends and Memories that you have given me.
