10 Video Games Utterly Ruined By RNG

1. Destiny

Destiny 2 Power Level
Bungie

Both Destiny games have come under intense scrutiny for their RNG-based loot system, and much like Borderlands, it's largely concerned with padding out the player's time while constantly dangling a carrot on a stick in front of their face.

Destiny has some of the most remarkable gunplay of any FPS on the market today, but the drop rates for Exotic items are absolutely infuriating, and per the game's RNG, you could easily go a month without getting any only to find multiple in the spans of mere days.

Ultimately drops are too aggressively limited, to the point that it's more of an exhausting, demoralising slog than genuinely rewarding to finally get the item you're chasing.

It's nothing more than a soulless attempt to lure players into the endless, repetitious cycle of grinding, and given the game's huge playerbase, it clearly works.
