Well... I get what ur saying and you do have a very valid point but my thinking is more like, if I buy a new game, it will mean a completely new experience vs sticking with the same game with just added content, granted the content might be better/newer than the current game but its still a similar experience. Like, if you were to save those $30, you will be able to buy two more games per year and depending on how much time you spend on ur new games, it might = more than the time you spend on a subscription based game while saving money.

And I do get much more milage out of games without subscription model than with subscription model from my experience (but obviously yours might be different). Like I spend a lot of hours in mw2 or sc2 or mk8 and etc which is much more time that I spent on a game like WoW cause of those three games have online play

But of course, if Destiny is the game that will change all that, great! But so far, no subscription based model has from my experience but granted f2p model isn't any better but the great thing is that there is no inital fee for entry

True, I also agree with the premise of not playing the same game for months on end. For instance this month I beat Wolfenstein, Infamous and Tomb Raider and got signigicantly more enjoyment than I think I would have if I had just played FF14 this month, but I spent 140 on games as opposed to 12.99. So if money is an issue than I think a sub based game give more bang for the buck.

Money is not an issue for me, but I do like to get sucked into a game for a few months once in a while, then I either quit it or take a break and spend a few months on the good games I missed.

For me the biggest thing that is selling me on Destiny is the co-op. I live in Hawaii, my one brother lives is South Carolina and other in Indiana, when we were playing co-op on Destiny (with headsets) it was almost like when we all lived at home playing Timesplitters 2 co-op or split screen multi. Only game that kinda came close to that in the past 8 years was Nazi Zombies (which obviously was more of an arcade mode).   We also had a blast playing as a fireteam in the Crucible, but it was similiar to the enjoyment we got from CoD:MW2 and 3 (when we all were playing CoD, I quit that after MW3)
