As it came closer and closer to launch I started getting more and more skeptical, but I was banking a lot on my prior experiences with Bungie.

Destiny tested whether I was a Halo fangirl or a Bungie fangirl too. The beta assured me that the latter was true. Like Halo, it left me wanting more and more. The full game has left me doubting if I was as much of a Bungie fan as I thought I was. Destiny really disappointed me. Worse, some of the things I've heard, both blatantly public and otherwise, has left me with a view of Bungie that's less than ideal.

I think this is the last game I'll ever buy at launch. I've been burned by enough of my favorite companies and franchises, everyone's got to earn my sale from now on.

Even though I too have been burned by a lot of my favorite series and devs, I don't think that this will be the last game I'll buy at launch because I'm a sucker like that. Even their faults, Mass Effect 3 and Halo 4, two notable games that have disappointed me, still had solid experiences throughout. Their stories, to a point, were enjoyable, and the gameplay was exciting. But Destiny will surely be the last game I put a lot of faith in for a new IP to the extent that I invested in it. It just feels so incomplete and not even the totally polished aspects can overshadow the lackluster ones.
