I've been gaming for 25+ years and have almost strictly been a single player/couch co-op gamer. Some of my favorite games are Final Fantasy VII, Bioshock, 999, Ico...single player games.
I did manage to get hooked on the Uncharted 2 multiplayer beta for awhile and it was pretty fun. Other than that, I've never played WoW. I've never played either Halo or Gears Of War online. I played a couple of matches of Call Of Duty online a couple years ago and of course I got my ass handed to me and I haven't played it since.
Online gaming just isn't for me. I don't chat with friends on my gaming console. I don't invite them to join me in anything, and they don't invite me. They don't even exist. I have a few relatives on my friends list and that's it.
So anyway, over the last couple of days I decided I'm going to try out this Destiny game because it's free, there isn't much else to play, and everyone is talking about it.
I'm really glad I made that choice.
So far the game is nearly perfect for me because I can still choose to play it as a lone wolf a vast majority of the time. It's what I've been doing for 25 years. The gameplay is fun, there's a good amount of exploration for the type of game it is, the sense of progression/upgrades are great. There's a lot about it to like as a single player game.
Having said that, I had just as much fun when I teamed up with random people and kicked some ass. The random events are fantastic and had me scrambling to reach them to help out my team. The revival system is very simple but works great. I rushed in multiple times to save a fallen teammate. Of course it not only helps them, but keeps me from getting slaughtered as well. Even if one of us is weak, at least they can divert some of the enemy fire. The final couple of bosses where teamwork is crucial also ended up being some of the most fun I had with the game.
So while I've almost always been a single player gamer, this game is very quickly converting me. And that's why I made this thread. To tell all the single player only gamers that Destiny is still absolutely worth playing. Everybody who likes a good shooter should buy this game.
A week ago I couldn't have really cared less about Destiny. Looks like another Halo. Another one of those dudebro space shooter games. I hate space games and the term dudebro. Then I played it, and now I can't wait for Sept 9th.
