Here's the thing, though: it's clearly a game that they can add to and tweak without and before the DLC expansions hit. I think they'll have to because it feels like there's only this bare skeleton of a game here, at least, relative to my most modest expectation of it prior to release. I'm surprised that I feel this way, but I almost want to say that I've felt more satisfied by the blatant formula of Borderlands 1 in its first half of the vanilla campaign than this game and I'm almost done with the main 'story' content in PvE with co-op just two days after release and maybe twelve to fifteen hours of play into it. I hope they can pack on some meat because it feels like an extended beta still and that beta and alpha was what sold me on the game after complaining that I didn't know what to expect and why I should be excited beyond Bungie's early claims and their past with Halo. I try not to get sucked into the hype machine to avoid disappointment, but I still feel it now.
Its a massive disappointment. All of the talk from Bungie and the media prior to release stings me like a fissure in my ass. So much wasted gameplay potential. This game already has me dreading missions. I said it a while back, its babysitting your ghost: the game.
