More ... (Destiny)

but I'm going to have to cut back. I went nuts the other week when I hit 25 and DBOers were tackling the Raid on Saturday, and I haven't let up yet.

Got my first exotic bounty today, and today I've leveled up a Hunter to 10, and that was a lot of fun, actually. I'm playing the game solo, and it's great to be able to look around as much as I want without worrying about holding someone up (I'm open to being joined by like-minded players who are building up low-level characters). I wish I'd been more open to playing solo originally. (I did play some, but I felt this pressure to find people, and to level up.) With my high-level character, content I've played before feels like new content on the higher difficulties.

I'm relaxing. I'm savoring what's good, and keeping my fingers crossed that they are playing a very long game in terms of the story, which was my biggest disappointment.

Between six characters, I see myself having plenty to do before the expansion packs, and lots of things to try and experiment with. Heck, I'll probably have plenty to do until Destiny 2 comes out. There are other games I'm looking forward to (Halo 2 Anniversary!), but Destiny already feels like it has settled in as my gaming comfort food.

I can't get my head around the massive amount of time people have spent with this game, and how so many of these same people are surprised or disappointed that their interest level has dropped off. I mean, it's fine that your interest level has dropped off. That's your brain telling you to find something it finds more stimulating for you to do. Go play Shadow of Mordor until you get bored with that. Better yet, read a book. My bet is that when you come back to Destiny, it will be better than it is now, and even if not, it will feel better because you took a break.
