Danny Wadeson, the author of “Destiny: The Taken King’ Live Up to Its Promise and Hype?” writes about the new expansion for Destiny. Wadeson explains throughout his essay about the core things they have done to improve the game with the expansion. The main ideas that he focused on about the game was the lore, gameplay, and the game developers actually listening to the fan base. The game has been out for 5 weeks now and I have been playing that game alone whenever I have time to play games. I personally believe that Destiny’s new expansion, Taken King has lived up to the hype and promise that they had made. When the game first came out, the story was lackluster and felt void of story content.

The promise that they had made when the game first came out was a lie and the hype of the original game had died within a week. I was very disappointed when the game first came out and so were many other people. Without listening to their games community, nothing will improve and the game will stay lackluster. One of game designer Jacob Benton states “We play the game incognito with fans all the time, for genuine feedback” (Wadeson). Without developers taking any feedback, the game will be horrible and with that, the hype or anything promised won’t be taken seriously. But since they actually started to take the feedback and implement it, the hype of “The Taken King” expansion was enormous. The game developers had promised many things such as gameplay but some of the community was hesitant because of what happened when the game first came out. My friends and I were very hesitant but when the game came out, the hype was real and they had delivered on their

I think that it's great we have that opportunity. I agree that the cost of living has increased over time; keep in mind that salaries have increased too. One way to keep bills from rising would be to live more conservatively.…

    Video games are arguably even less associated with storytelling than comics are, with some critics believing “that the video-game form is incompatible with traditional concepts of narrative” (Bissel, 93). Where the medium truly excels, however, is with its capacity for immersion. Like how the addition of sound allowed filmgoers to not just watch the action but hear it, “Every new medium that has been invented … has increased the transporting power of narrative” (Rose, 36). Where readers of books and viewers of movies are passive, gamers take an active role in their narratives. In games like Mass Effect this means making key decisions that affect the development of the plot, but in games like Naughty Dog’s Uncharted and The Last of Us, this…

    A border can be revealed not only in a geographic sense but can be seen as an obscurity between two individuals in a relationship. In the short story “Borders,” Thomas King narrates in relation to his childhood experiences, and explores the nexus between borders, the mother-daughter relationship, and their identities. As a Blackfoot Native American woman, the mother sees a border as arbitrary, as her ancestors once had no geographic borders. On the other hand, her daughter Laetitia, has a much less traditional view of the world, and her identity is shaped around her modern interpretation of the world. Therefore, this demonstrates a border that is present between the two individuals and also a figurative border between today’s society and minority groups such as the Blackfoot people.…
