This has been the worst week of my life. For seven straight days, I haven't gotten a good night's sleep. The only time I get any is when it's already tomorrow morning, and even then, it's only for a few measly hours. It ain't much sleep going from 12 noon to 4 afternoon. Yeah, it's that bad.
I hate this cold. Life sucks. I just wanna die.
The only good thing about these last three days is my Alpha access to Destiny. When I'm not coughing my guts out, I've been playing this year's surefire killer app. I've already got all three of my characters at level cap with nice gear.
I spent Thursday on the Story Mission and Explore mode. The map is truly huge and it feels like an open-world first-person shooter. The maps are so big you need a personal speeder that can be summoned on command to zip around.
Friday was dedicated to PVP. It's a nice change of pace from Battlefield even if the aim assist is the stickiest thing since popped bubblegum. There are some balance issues that need to be sorted out though. Shotguns are way too powerful. I feel their ammo needs to be better restricted. Vehicles on the moon map are OP. And it feels like the auto rifle is the only viable primary. I trust in Bungie.
On Saturday, it was all about the Strikes. I've done it so many times I could do it with my eyes closed. Even with level 8 uncommon gear, I'll have to agree with the criticisms that the bosses are way too bullet spongy. It also hurts when I'm paired up with noobs who don't know how to do anything.
I've probably sank more time in this Alpha than I do in entire games I've paid for. Destiny is going to be huge this fall. It'll probably be the system seller. The white PS4 bundle is sexy as hell. I can't wait for the beta in July!
