The thing is, I don't mind Bounty Simulator too much. It scratches my grind until I forget about my real life stress itch. But the more I play this season the more I hate the missed opportunity of the epic setting.
We have a giant spaceship being thrown at Earth, and what I'm doing is... helping a giant cube launch small circles into space. What. The player guardian is literally a god-slaying badass who took out Ghaul etc etc etc and the best way to use this time-traveling walking weapon of mass destruction is to... have me throw orbs at a bigger orb while Ana yells at me.
The thing that Ana and Zavala did in the opening cutscene? I want to do that. I want to be the one fighting through hoards of Cabal on the Almighty. I want Cabal to look at me and go "sh*t we gotta stop that crazy bitch from stopping our plans omg why won't she die" instead of laughing at me while gently touching a square to stop an obelisk from ejaculating orbs.
I want to earn the Almighty title by doing something actually epic, like going on a Bruce Willis suicide mission to plant a giant bomb in the main reactor core of the Almighty. Not... praying I get matched with people so we can play holo basketball.
