Bungie Monologue
I’ve been a bungie fan since Combat Evolved, I’ve played every game they have made since.
I love Halo, it is near and dear to my heart and one of the most important games of my life.
When Bungie left, Halo was never the same.
I remember following Destiny 1 and watching its pre release footage and being blown away.
I’d never seen anything like it.
It was like Halo magic/vibes and gunplay, with a Diablo/Borderlands loot system, and after playing Destiny on PS3, it was life changing.
I played Destiny 2 on release, it was confusing and a little bit of a let down. I stuck it out through all expansions and it was the game that was always kind of “there”.
However it’s been dead in the water for years, even before Marathon was announced I was hotly anticipating a Destiny 3 announcement or a new franchise.
Now to Marathon, it has been close to 10 years since I have felt like I am playing a truly “new” experience, and Marathon has brought that.
I’m loving it, it feels like Bungie has not lost their spark and they still know how to make a banger ass FPS game.
I’m grieving the death of Destiny 2 but for me it was already dead long ago..
I know Marathon is a very different style of game to Destiny, but I wish people would give it a chance because it feels so damn good to play and I want Bungie to succeed.
In an ideal world, we get 1-3 years of Marathon support, and then we get a Destiny 3 announcement and we can all rejoice and continue together.
I’m not just a Marathon fan, I’m a Bungie fan from the beginning and I know they still have what it takes to make magical experiences.
