Destiny 2
Honestly, it has plenty of faults. Name a single game that does not? The fact is, Destiny 2 is insanely complex, and every time there is an update, it has to weave in new code that works with 10 years of updates, patches and expansions. Hundreds of thousands of players connect from across the planet, daily, and they do so without issue not to mention the almost infinite combination of PC graphics cards, CPUs, hard drives, memory, motherboards, internal components that Destiny has to be built to work on. Gaming is really a modern miracle of technology and while there will always be some issues, most are fixed fairly quickly. While its had its ups and downs over the years, it has had its extreme highs as well, and even though the Bungie of today is not the OG Bungie we remember, that has nothing to do with how the game plays. There has never been a game in which ive gotten so many hours of playtime per dollar spent. Ive been here since Destiny 1 and I will still be be playing as long as there are updates to download. Ive never had troubles connecting, installing, or playing the game in the 10+ years of logging in. The story, the music, level design, and art (mostly), are some of the best to be found within the MMORPG space. The smooth gunplay mixed with the dramatic moments of a raid, or high-level mission, are second to none. That does not mean, however, that Destiny 2 will continue to extract an 8 or 9 out of me. The recent updates and seasonal content has been a little lackluster and depending on how the expansions turn out, will ultimately prove if this score continues but, for now, Ive never spent so much time in a single game. Not even my beloved Mass Effect series. So that must say something in of itself. If your new, it might be a little tough to get started, but find some friends or a Destiny guide and you too will be captivated.

See AllAssassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is a Second Wind in The Franchise's Sails, but It's Not a New Ship
I have followed AC since the very first one dropped all those years ago. The franchise has been all over the place, but Black Flag has always stood out as something singular. It branched off the previous entries while letting players play pirate and build their own hideout (in some ways) on top of sailing to the actual location instead of fast traveling on a horse. It made the world feel connected and alive. Brotherhood is probably a tie for favorite overall entry, but Black Flag did something different, and it had this certain something the others lacked. It also did not hurt that it was pretty stunning, graphics-wise. At least at that time it was.

Destiny 1 Gets Surprising Update Seven Years Later
Im right there with you. I have been playing this game most of my adult life!:|
However, even though I enjoy D2, there was something about OG Destiny that D2 just does not replicate. Perhaps its the more serious atmosphere, or just that it was so completely new and different for its time? Im not 100% but I think it might have been the first online multiplayer game on console. Seeing other players doing their own thing in the open world was ground breaking at the time. PC had it with Warcraft and such, but besides a PvP shooter, I cant think of any PvE game that did this. Either way I will always love Destiny, but the simpler times of D1 will be some of my best days of gaming.
After 6 Hours, Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a Definite GOTY Contender [Hands-on Preview]
You have quite a love for Dragon Age and it shows throughout the article, and this is a kind of article I would write about a Mass Effect game as ME and its universe/companions and its connective stories and decisions are the reason I turned into a hardcore gamer in the first place. Your enthusiasm has me excited! BTW check out PCGamerN's article and see what you think about it.
