Video kind of seems like they were sitting around a table and someone said "we should probably say SOMETHING so people know this game is still in production."

I've got mixed feelings about this game. Generally, extraction shooters are frustrating and have a super short lifespan in my gaming habits.

The Division was the first one that I played. The gameplay was annoying and just made me angry. Gave up on it quick.

CoD DMZ and Zombies are super fun gameplay, but dang....effing hard to succeed. I usually play them solo and might have 10% success rate.

Played some Hawked with my son when it came out on early release. It was fun! Gameplay and progression system was fun. Seemed a little low budget, but nothing terrible. But then as the game gained traction and more people started to play, I don't know if the game was overrun with hackers/cheaters or the skill level required skyrocketed but one day we just started getting our butts beat unmercifully. Game deleted.

The part that keeps me optimistic is that, Bungie 100% will nail the gunplay and gameplay aspect. The part that worries me is, will they make it FUN? Are they making this game for gamers to have fun in? Or for streamers to drip sweat all over us plebs?

Will they innovate the genre? I think they have the ability to! Destiny kind of set the standard for the MMO/RPG Looter Shooter. (Other games may have done it better aferwards, but the standard had been set). I'm hoping they bring something fresh so it's not just another Extraction sweat fest slog of frustration.
