there is something undeniable about this game.

I'm just not sure what it is.

The story is still dumb. The content still feels hollow.

But there's still something.

It's not just that it's pretty and has solid combat. The last Killzone was pretty and had solid combat and I didn't play that shit again after I beat the campaign.

I'll keep playing Destiny for a minute, though.

I think that the game doesn't force you to do anything is the saving grace.

Story missions getting too repetitive? Play some Crucible. Keep getting bodied in the Crucible? Play some Strikes. Strikes taking too long to finish with the dying ass fools you got paired up with? Do patrols to farm your bounties.

The game does a good job at rewarding you for whatever you choose to do, and that shit is addictive.
