The Destiny Census

1. Your age. 18.
2. Are you enjoying Destiny? 3. I haven't had much time to play it, and what I have done has been solo (waiting on my headset). I probably haven't gotten the full experience yet.
3. Did you love the Alpha or Beta? N/A. Didn't get to try it since I didn't bring my PS3 when I was way.
4. Are you playing with friends? No. A lot of my friends got it for 360 and I haven't had time to group up with any Gaffers.
5. Do you love the Halo franchise? No. I've never owned an Xbox, but I've played Halo 2 on PC and enjoyed it, though I wouldn't say I love the franchise.
6. Do you love the Borderlands franchise? No. I like the gameplay, but the cartoony graphics and poor physics feel like a turn off.
7. Do you love the Diablo franchise? N/A. Never tried it, though I plan on getting the UEE once I upgrade.
8. Do you love the Left 4 Dead franchise? N/A. Never owned an Xbox, never had a good enough PC to run it.
9. Do you love competitive multiplayer? Yes. Only if it's done right. I've burned 100s of hours on Black Ops II, but sold Ghosts in March.
10. Do you love a strong single player campaign? Yes. I love games like TLoU, 1886, and Bloodborne. The single player probably wasn't meant to be very strong in this game, considering it's a "shared-world" shooter. I do wish they went deeper into the lore though.

As long as it takes until some interesting results can be gleaned from the data, I suppose.

God what have I done? Ok I'll compile the resulting data for everyone. But it might take a while. My destiny is really data after all!

I feel like asking if you love something (yes/no) is a bit strong. You either love (extreme like) the thing or you dont (anything from like it a fair bit to absolute hate).

It's easier to compile the data at the end and giving too many options could be a mess. I wanted something simple and in the end you either like/love something or you don't.

1. 21.
2. 2. It's incredibly repetitive and boring. The visuals and high production values are basically the main sources of enjoyment for me 7 hours in.
3. Yes, since it's a yes/no question. I thought if was okay, not great or outright bad.
4. No, my friends aren't into games.
5. No, I play them all but don't absolutely love them like some folks do. They're fun though.
6. No, I can never get the controls to feel right. The game is compelling visually and concept wise, but it just feels uncomfortable to play (if that makes sense)
7. Yes.
8. Yes.
9. No, probably due to my poor dual analog skills. I rarely play FPS so I end up being pretty bad when playing competitive modes.
10. Yes, single player campaigns are why I play games. I even bought Destiny because of it (now regretting buying the game due to the shitty campaign).

As requested, my input. I enjoy what Destiny is, but it could have been far better if it had of tried harder. Was this the fault of last-gen shackles? I think so, especially with how large some areas are but are still filled with invisible walls or empty caves.

I have found that Destiny is pushing me to go play Diablo or Borderlands though, just because I feel like things are more solid in those two franchises. I get my loot satisfaction from Diablo, and the story elements from Borderlands.

Basically I like the game for the reasons I wanted to like borderlands. Borderlands may have had a better loot system, but the world and feel of combat in Destiny is much better IMO, while still having enough of an RPG addictiveness to it.
