No fix ETA and it's obviously not a high priority to them. The game honestly should not be for sale in the store right now, let alone for €60. Buyer beware!! Just wait for an official fix if you want to play the game. Posting this here to bring awareness… Expand

    Дико неинтересная некачественная и некрасивая игра, онлайновая игра для детей

    This game is just really boring and tedious. Story is forgettable and gunplay is average. Did not have fun with this disappointment of a video game.

    It's Bungie, that's for sure. They made the **** Halo tp Halo Reach games that are as **** as Destiny. This studio just can't make good games.

    It's been 6 years since Destiny came out. Back then, the trailer flashed me straight away.
    The fact that the content of the trailer was only fully available a year later and the graphics were worse as promised is a reason for the new rating for me. A lot had been promised but little had been kept.

    A promising game to drive the looter shooter genre to greater heights following the success of Borderlands 2. Unfortunately, it failed miserably. Nice paywall. Boring grind. Just a bad gaming experience.

    Repetitive, dull, and hollow are words that I would use to describe Destiny. It's sad, because there is excellent art design, music, and great gun play to be found.

    Boring, flat characters, and the hype for this game was huge. the reality is that destiny is an average game.

    So far biggest disappointment of the year for me. Lvl 15 titan and that's it, no more interest to play the game anymore. Boring as hell, story is bad, missions are very repetitive, looting is weak, PvP is terrible and overall lack of content. Graphics are great and so is the music, but that alone doesn't make the game good.

    Jack of all trades, master of none.

    Without a doubt the second biggest disappointment of my time in gaming. Beyond basic gunplay, which has been developed over a decade, this game does virtually nothing right. It still boggles my mind that people fervently defend this game when it seems so indefensible. The world, the loot, the quests, the story, the multiplayer, it's all so bare bones and uninspiring.

    I cannot return the "game" to Gamestop as it is open. Now I have a $40 coaster.
    During my troubleshooting I saw others have similar issues where it does not work on their home-Internet-connection, but at a neighbor it works. Other had to change their DNS-servers to make it work ... and so on. Needless to say, I tried all of those suggestions as well - to no avail.
    What game needs tweaking with DNS-servers to make it work??? I only see issues like that with crappy written/ implemented software at my job.
    Save your money (and time of troubleshooting) and don't spend it on this junk (I would rather call it "time waster" and not "game").    … Expand

    Underwhelming in every way. Bought the game back in 2014. Played it once, put it on top of my shelf and left it there for several months and forgot about its existence. Vanilla Destiny was like that girl who looked cute, but then you see how uninteresting and tiresome her personality really is, and you regret that you ever had anything to do with her to begin with...

    My main reaction to this game is the frustration of seeing how much missed potential there is for the franchise. There is so much more that Bungie can be doing with Destiny, and I was hoping they'd hit the nail on some of them with D2, but alas it's not the case. It's like no one at Bungie plays any MMOs that have really well designed customization and progression systems.

Then Bungie began making it nigh impossible to be a solo player. Deej kept insisting they'd continue to support the solo experience for a very long time. Well, he's just a damn show pony and a flat out liar. The tide shifted for me when Taken King came out and Eververse was introduced. I've never been so disgusted in my life. I could not believe I spent $150 on this farce. I really tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, but this was the last straw. People will pay for good content. Resorting to microtransactions just shows how incapable Bungie is of doing that. So, they add a gate for content which forces you to get DLC. Otherwise your character is essentially useless.
    I don't know what happened to Bungie (Activision?) but Destiny completely changed my outlook on games. I am now very cynical. I used to be happy go lucky and optimistic, but nowadays companies have to earn my money. I take very little on faith anymore.
    People quitting or being fired before release should have been a huge red flag.
    Their incompetence on having to rely on out of game assets to do things is also appalling.
    All of this is a damn shame, because Destiny was really fun to play.    … Expand

I wonder if Bungie makes more money splitting their player base every expansion than they would if they released these expansions as free updates and just kept everyone interested. Surely, more people would buy the game if everyone was still into playing it. For such a high budget game, I expected to get more playtime out of it.… Expand

Within a day of the release, people could already tell that the lack of character development, plot, story arc, or anything other than a mindlessly repetitive grind-fest. The AI is made of dumb bullet sponges, and the spawn enemies and spawn points were exactly the same every time... no matter how many times a new quest required you to play through the same tired levels (expect dozens or hundreds of times for some maps). Bosses are just larger and/or take more bullets to kill. No real change in strategy anywhere. The online multiplayer and coop have no matchmaking... so prepare to find groups offline.

    I've never been more disappointed in a game that promised so much. And after the subsequent DLC rendered vanilla destiny unplayable... I kind lost any respect I have for Bungie and Activision who were previously my two favorite developers. It sets a terrible precedent for game making that you can massively under-deliver and coast on pre-orders, then pull content out from underneath the day one adopters unless they continue to buy up. This is my last pre-order, and the last game from either of these developers.    … Expand

Also, the quest are horrible enemies can be extremely annoying from time to time and the layout of the quests is the same. What I mean is you start a mission you kill everything in your way find what you are supposed to find and hold off enemies until your Ghost (in game companion) finishes gathering information or finish whatever he is doing. I would not recommend buying this game unless all you care about is graphics if you want to enjoy a game buy something else. The only reason it costs around 50$ are the graphics.

    What is most amazing of all is that despite its litany of weird little problems, Destiny is fantastic, its combat up there with the very best, the thrilling rhythm of its battles still not fading the 30th time through, and it has no single systemic problem that is not fixable. [Dec 2014, p.106]

    Destiny is a flawed but still extremely fun first person shooter. While the Destiny universe itself seems intriguing, the storyline is told in such an incoherent manner that it's hard not to be turned off by all the technobabble. Fortunately the co-op shooter mechanics are absolutely perfect. The loot system can be maddening, but in a way it adds to the game's addictiveness. [Oct 2014]
