I’ve never seen a happy league player
Comment on Why Do People Still Play Destiny 2?
caut_R@lemmy.world 1 week agoI’m sure we can be more open-minded and accept that people can enjoy the core gameplay loops of games that we don‘t personally enjoy without being addicted.

It is addiction. Addiction to the adrenaline of the gameplay elements, that’s literally how games like Destiny/League/Genshin are designed. The “loot box” mystery loot rewards is literally predatory and designed to abuse the psychology of the people that play those games to keep them coming back for more.
Destiny especially revolves around loot. And you get randomized “mystery” loot. I would know, I played the first game and the second game until the Shadowkeep expansion.

I played like 900 hours of D1 with the same or mostly the same gear because shooting stuff in the face felt better than anything else I’ve ever played.
The actual gunplay is really good. It’s just killed by all the other shit.

Likewise though, I’ve seen people playing Destiny for the rewards when they weren’t even enjoying it. They just wanted the rewards.
