Destiny & The Generational Divide

I've been playing a lot of Destiny in the last few days. So much so that I reckon it's bordering on an addiction. It's a game that I've been waiting for since Halo: Reach, specifically following the release of Halo 4, when it became clear that, for me, 343 didn't quite hit the same high notes as Bungie had in Halos past.

Well, the wait is over, and Destiny is here. I'm having a great time; I'm still playing through the campaign content, I'm hitting The Crucible every night, and there's still so much more for me to see. Yeah, I'll concede that as a work of fiction, it takes itself i mite too seriously at times, but I'm thoroughly enjoying my time in the universe that's been created by Bungie.

What's very interesting is the fact that the old Halo crew has since been scattered by the generational divide. Two of us are playing on PlayStation 4, the other two are still on Xbox 360. Both us PS4 players picked up X1 versions of the game, and we're awaiting our crew making the upgrade, at which point we'll jump across and start playing with them on Xbox One, with everyone starting a new character.

What's funniest about the whole thing is the catalyst that's going to bring us together: Halo: The Master Chief Collection, which releases in November. It seems like 343 still has a part to play after all...
