MLG in bite sized chunks

1 Feb 2015

Destiny has lived with very mixed reviews since it came out, and despite it being somewhat repetitive (as is the want of MMOs, where nothing can ever change), I do find it very enjoyable. It’s particularly great at providing fifteen minutes of fun and making you feel like a badass without you having to dedicate your life to it, i.e., it’s the perfect shooter for those of us with a job.

The above clip is an example of how it strokes your ego by setting up lots of awesome moments: head-shotting a monster through the legs of another monster made me feel like king of the game for that brief moment, something I couldn’t hope to achieve in most FPSs that need you to devote many hours to them. Destiny may be repetitive, but it’s the bite sized moments of awesomeness it keeps delivering that make me keep returning.
