Gaming

I almost gave up on Destiny early on because I have been a solo/solitary gamer exclusively for my entire gamer life. I hooked into HALO and the original X-Box shortly after both came out but never once could I bring myself to play any of the on-line 'me-vs-anyone-else' options that made the franchise so great. I am something of a recluse anyway so my gaming reflected my personality. I utterly adored HALO, I devoured each new game as it came out and charted my own paths to defeating (most of), them on Legendary difficulty. I am still proud that I managed to defeat HALO 4 on Legendary within 7 days of it's release, with day one being split watching the returns come in, telling the world that President Obama was soundly trouncing Mitt Romney.

Within hours of my opening up Destiny I put it back in it's box and switched to an old Bethesda "Fallout" game I had enjoyed a few years back. I just couldn't handle the idea that I would have to encounter other people on the web with my gaming but my passion for all things HALO made me give it another try. Now I have a 'level 22 Titan'. She is alien, an 'Awoken' is her race I think, I have great 'rare' armor which I shaded an emerald color and great 'rare' weaponry in my inventory. I slogged through all the available missions on Earth, the Moon, Venus and I am having a great time getting my butt kicked while being utterly lost on Mars. Let me tell you something about Mars: That place is HUGE!

I dunno, maybe the guys who created HALO have found a way to bottle crack-cocaine and pipe it electronically through my X-BOX because I am thoroughly addicted to Destiny! Yes, I am still a soloist but slowly the game is drawing me out of my shell. Now instead of running away from other players, when the call comes in through our 'Ghosts' to defend a location or to defeat an incursion I rush to the location as fast as possible to stand shoulder to shoulder with my fellow Guardians! At level 22 I am not even close to the toughest alien out there but I have found pride in the character I have so far created.

I looked for other threads here in Gaming about Destiny before posting here yuiyoshida, yours it appears is the only one. Earlier I posted in your thread that I was unhappy with Destiny, I hope this post amends my earlier dissatisfaction. I'll not be upgrading my armor standing around in DU so it's back to Mars I go.
