Did Destiny End Up Being the Social Game Bungie Promised After All?

[Burek]

If pointing at players and dancing is considered social...

IMO, this game is so damn antisocial it hurts. There's a public event, 3-4 players join forces, beat it, bow to each other and scatter back to their orbit.
You get matchmade into Crucible, run around like a chicken with its head cut off, paunfully uncoordinated, win/lise, then get booted back to orbit.

All in complete silence.

First week or two I used my Sony Pulse headset, eager to say a few words, but realizing that in space noone can hear you talk. Not even if they are 2 feet away.

And no, I don't feel like going to a website, forum or Skype to set an appointment with others so I must show up exactly at 11:15 to play, like waiting for an MRI at a free clinic.

There are more social aspects in FIFA than in Destiny.

I still enjoy the game. Play through dailies and bounties, but now with no headset, and with my TV set muted, no need for sound at all. And if I really make an effort, I think I might even play blindfolded, I've repeated the missions enough times already.
