    I received the game from a friend and no matter how hard i try to enjoy the game i just can't seem to like it, it was just so annoying how you just shoot endlessly at stuff... Sometime it took forever for nothing. I really don't like the game.

    No matchmaking means you have to run around on the tower for ages trying to get people to join up, or you have to play with friends, which tbh I have no friends with a PS4...

    On the first i found Destiny to be fun and well worth the price,but after 5-6 hours it becomes really repetetive and boring.Every mission is the same, only environments change, and enemy's are the 80% same. Mediocre shooter with interesting RPG concept.

    I wasn't hyped by destiny like most, after the alpha I wasn't expecting much at all. the full game is just as expected, bland, boring and repetitive just like the alpha and beta releases of the game.

    The game has great shooter mechanics. which is it's only positive. it's bungie though, so what did you expected? they are the reason shooters on console are so popular. I just wonder how did everything else go wrong?

    since I went through the positive lets go through the negative.

    -bullet sponge enemies, every boss has high health for the sake of high health. it becomes a chore to kill bosses.

    -repetitive strikes are the core of the game. every strike is "go here, kill wait for the robot thing to open a door, fight boss that takes forever to kill because it has high health" every boss feels the same too. they all spawn other enemies and they all just sit there eating bullets.

    -the worlds feel lifeless and dead. they could have put the whole thing on earth and no one would have known you touched another planet. no humans are seen other than the tower. I'm sure people would at least attempt to scavenge stuff from earth.

    - story is non-existent. it's like a bunch of random ideas put together into a "story". there is no character development and you will see what you would think are major characters and never see them again! it's insanely poor.

    - poor character dialog. Peter Dinkleage is a great voice actor but the horrible writing kills his performance.

    -Crucible is just boring. crucible is the pvp mode, it's bad. how the people who made halo messed up pvp idk. everyone has a sniper or shotgun because green (special) ammo drops like candy. map design for the most part is poor. vehicles are annoying more than awesome like in halo. it's just sad this happened.

    -no mini map to see where you are going, the game worlds aren't big but they are a maze so getting to a certain area can be hard.

    overall. destiny isn't the innovative experience people wanted. it's just a bad borderlands rip off with a crap PVP mode tacked on I am glad to see critics actually giving it poor reviews and people alike.    … Expand

    Destiny proves that spending a large amount of money on pre game hype is worth every penny. This game is way over rated. Multiplayer is terrible, and the story mode is anything but fluent and interesting. Sorry fellow gamers, I don't see this game being relevant in 10 months, let alone 10 years.

Also, the multiplayer is horribly imbalanced. Hunter and sunsinger warlock dominate every match, and the weapon and armor bonuses still being active in pvp makes it near impossible for a lower level person to win. The bounty system is bugged as well, giving bounties for playlists that are only available on weekends during weekdays. Add on numerous cutscenes that you can't skip, an absolutely atrocious story, fairly bad voice acting, boring choices of weapons, a lack of a community, and making it a real pain in the ass to get a group for weekly strikes, and you have a pretty awful game. If this game were $30 or $40 I would have a different opinion, but this game is absolutely not worth $60.… Expand

    Absolute disappointment. The gameplay is really the only thing that's here, theirs no story, and within the first few hours the gameplay becomes tedious as all you do is grind. Nothing of what they promised and implied would be in the game is in it. if your looking for that its probably a 0/10, if you look at it as a game that didn't promise that, its a 4/10.

Having played Last of Us to death on ps3 i deceided to dive straight in and start playing "Destiny". Now, let me tell you the good stuff first, since there is unfortunetly so little of it. As i was used to ps3 graphics and never played a ps4 before, this game visual presentation was earth shattering . Everything is absolutely gorgeous in this game. Truly "next gen". The textures used are insanely detailed, with beautiful lighting effects. Everything just is what you always hoped gaming would be one day since you first played that humble little Nintendo in 1985. and everything is running silky smooth with no fps slowdowns once. Amazing indeed.
    Next Gunplay. Absolutely nailed it. Best gunplay i have had since, well, ever on any Playstation. That combined with the new ps4 controller and you have gameplay as smooth as butter. I really understand now why some Xbox only gamers have had so much love for Halo. Shooting and aiming guns is very satisfying and well above the standard.
    The last good point i would like to point out is the amazing Hollywood blockbuster style soundtrack. You just have to hear it.
    And that is about all the positive stuff i can tell you about this game.

    The negative list is quite a bit longer s i am sorry to say.
    The story is pure rubbish. Pure and utter crap, scraped from the bottom of the cheapest cliche barrel they could find. Let me give you an example here: the good guys are "The Light", and the bad guys "The Darkness". Yeah, no kidding. "The Darkness" is then sub divided in even more cliche sub factions such as "the Hive", "The Fallen" etc. This in itself would not be such a problem if there was actually a story to follow, but there isn't. To actually learn something about these factions, or anything for that matter, you will have to pause the game and head to a website and read the lore there. Serious, that is what you have to do. hardly any ingame story. And since i simply refused to get my story from a website out of priciple, all i was left with was basically a polished up 2014 version of space invaders. What little story there is ingame however is the worst of the worst. It explains nothing. You where dead, but was revived somhow after a few hundred years, yet no one bothers to explain it to me how or why. Later on in the game a character pops up and starts talking to me as if we know each other, but i never have seen her in my game once. Says she is too busy to explain or some crap like that and vanished. lol WTF?? She did give a gun when i "finished" the game though, which was nice i guess. And it goes on and on. The story simply makes no sense and is a huge let down. I actually think they would have been better off just cutting the story alltogether and make this a straight up hardcore shooter.

    Then there is the voice acting. And boy, is it bad.
    Bungie somehow managed to grab everyones favorite member of the Lannister family, Tyrion, aka Peter Dinkelage. And i am sorry to say, he blew it, and he blew it big time. I dont know if this is because of a lack of directing, or because he simply sucks as a voice actor. But he is so bad i wished he would stfu allready.
    He plays this "ghost" which looks a bit like "Wheatley" from Portal 2. And he must surely be one of the most annoying game characters ever made by man. Play it, and you will find out because i just cannot bring myself to be so critical of the excelent Tyrion. Lets just say Peter Dinkelage is no Ashley Johnson / Troy Baker when it comes to voice over work.

    Mission design is pathetic. Simplel as that. There are literally 2 "quests" in this game. Kill wave after wave, also known as point defense, horde mode etc. and there is kill the boss, which is pure bullet sponge tank and spank crap. That is all there is too it. No escort, no chases no nothing. It is embarassing to be honest.
    Loot is hardly dropped by mobs make it even more boring than it already is, so you need to grind reps to get gear. There are a few daily "quests" to help you along though to obtain it a little faster. Fun quests such as KILL 10.000 guardians, no kidding. Make no mistake, this is grinding original everquest style.
    It was after i read that quest btw that i ejected the game and traded it in for something else.

    TLTR; this game is a complete outhouse of a mess. Stay away    … Expand

    This game is incredibly average. The story is basically Halo 1, but less fun because what little voice acting there is feels wooden and you never do anything that makes you feel remotely cool like escaping an exploding space ship in a car (admit it, when you were young and did that the first time you felt like a bad ass).
    Every mission is literally exactly the same, land on a planet,    This game is incredibly average. The story is basically Halo 1, but less fun because what little voice acting there is feels wooden and you never do anything that makes you feel remotely cool like escaping an exploding space ship in a car (admit it, when you were young and did that the first time you felt like a bad ass).
    Every mission is literally exactly the same, land on a planet, fight to a secluded area, have your Ghost activate something then fight off waves of enemies, then after the waves a boss either spawns, or you head a little further in and fight a boss. That is it... every single mission in the storyline is exactly that, and the boss fights aren't even fun because there are no mechanics to it, you essentially hide behind something when they attack and then step out to fire.
    Then you have the side mission of which there are only 4 variations, you either have to kill a bunch of enemies, kill a specific enemy, go somewhere and scan something, or kill a bunch of enemies and gather a certain item which is essentially the same as just killing a bunch of enemies.
    The weapon and loot system is basically the same as borderlands except with at best a 10th of the variety. There are 9 weapon types, many of which are very similar, and within those types there is absolutely no variation.
    Now you would think the online play would be redeeming, after all a game is much more fun with more people. Except the people you see playing have virtually no way to contact you or speak to you. There is no point in teaming up to do a mission since they are so incredibly easy, even "hard" mode isn't that much of a challenge.
    The only online feature I enjoyed was the "strike" or dungeon system which was kind of fun because some bosses were vaguely difficult, but they did follow the same lack of mechanics as other bosses.

    Pvp is not half as enjoyable as the mega-fans would have you believe. I think it would be better if there were more of it in the open world, but instead you get put into a limited arena. Once there you will notice how horribly unbalanced combat is. Since a titan has more survivability and there is virtually no difference in damage between the classes since everyone uses the same pool of weapons you either play as titan or die. Hunters can occasionally do well, but thats mostly because of the grenade that homes in when enemies get close and the ridiculously overpowered throwing knife which no other class has anything remotely comparable. Also forget about getting any kills without a sniper rifle, but thats pretty similar to many online shooters.
    The world looks kind of pretty, but the graphics look more like mid last gen than early current gen. So the area you actually play in can look pretty dull, but the backdrop is beautiful.
    The vehicle system is weak at its best moments, and I feel pretty ripped off with that crappy sparrow from pre-ordering.
    Honestly it isn't too awful, the gameplay is moderately fun, but it is nothing new and personally i believe Halo did it better. It helps that I have a couple friends with the game and we play online on occasion.

    I promise I am not just someone who is pissed that the game did not live up to the hype, but they definitely made some big promises on the originality and vast content and we have seen none of that. It isn't even like I haven't given the game a decent try, believe me when I say that I really, reeeeaaallllyyy, wanted to love this game. I played a Warlock all the way to 20 and have about 5 levels into a titan, I might work on a hunter to see if it is any better, but I wouldn't bet on it.

    As for my particular score, I personally believe it should have a 6 or 7, but somebody has to counter the massive influx of undeserved perfect scores when at the very best this game might get an 8, and only if you had incredibly low expectations and very little experience with shooters.

    Update: In a continued attempt to enjoy this game I played more. I had previously hit level 20, but other than a Mars Strike I didn't do much playing after level 20, so I decided to try some vanguard strikes and some other stuff. That is why I lowered the score which was previously a 5/10. All the people saying the game really opens up after level 20 either haven't hit level 20 or are total idiots. What happens is you get access to vanguard strikes which are essentially the same strikes you have been doing but with higher level enemies... that is it, no new content, the loot is awful (I did the level 20 strike and got a level 16 piece of gear), and in general the game actually got worse.

    Now many people are saying that the game is going to get so much better with dlc and all of this other junk. I for one did not pay full price for less than half of a game, and I resent being required to pay $35 for what is bound to be another small portion of said game.

    If it were possible to get my money back from Bungie I would.    … Expand

The story is filled with SO much holes it's not funny, and Activison is now using DLC as an excuse to fill the holes. But the worst problem is being forced to play with a network connection. For the past 2 days, the PSN has been hacked by a group of dumbass 12 year old kids known only as the 'lizard squad', and even when they're done with their DDoS attacks, SONY has to patch everything that went wrong. Search up '#PSN' on Google/twitter and see what I mean. This is especially sad because this means you can't play destiny if you wanted to. Don't blame Bungie for that, internet, the lizard squad did it.

Levels are boring and the same with every single level the same "defend the floating robot for x amount of time" each and every time. Boss fights are a large machine gun/ grenade launcher enemy with a large amount of health and shields in a room with the 3 players. The story is not a story, and no real attempt to tell you any characters does not exist. Multiplay… Expand

    I Expected More from a game of this caliber. I've seen and played the pre-release versions, And i wish that Destiny would just revert back to the old storyline. The Bungie Staff have gutted the whole entire storyline and made it to the point where it is boring, generic, and just lackluster in General. I'm pretty sure no one would really mind if you put the story back into the game andI Expected More from a game of this caliber.

Overall, **** and Gutted Story which showed more promise in late 2013 but excellent gameplay.… Expand

    The pvp is great. Other than that the game came up short. Story and gameplay was disjointed, and pretty loading screens are still just as annoying as simple ones. The problem could be that I expected more.

    When comparing games I generally compare them to the best version of that Genre. For me FPS games are all compared to Goldeneye, Bioshock and COD:MW. The reason that all of the games were great for me was because they looked good, they had a great story and they were exciting to work through. Destiny was not any of these except for Looking good, lets face it the game looks great but thatWhen comparing games I generally compare them to the best version of that Genre.

Destiny was not any of these except for Looking good, lets face it the game looks great but that is where it stops.

    I'm not a massive FPS fan in the first place and needed the game to give me something to NEED to play it. Destiny wasn't what I was hoping for, also I couldn't help but compare it to the other games that I was playing at the same time which were PS3 reboots of Tomb Raider and Last of Us. Both of those games made me want to keep playing. I thought a Next-Gen 'Masterpiece' should have done the same.

    I'm sure the hardcore Halo and COD fans will like this game purely for the multiplayer aspect but don't buy the game for the story. It's pretty boring. Traded my game in already before the trade in price plummets!    … Expand

    Total ripoff. The game was released in a broken state. 100% hype, 0% innovation, 100% boring gameplay and story. Bungie promised patches, but instead they started working on addons and a sequel.

    This game is very poor. Each mission follows the same basic structure as the last, you fight your way to an objective and then defend the objective against several waves of similar enemies. The game offers no variation and consistently fails in delivering anything beyond standard FPS combat.

    Ok so all the hype pushed to one side. What we have here is a pretty poor game. Yes the FPS mechanics are superb and yes the graphics are nice BUT the game should have been called REPETITION. The game plays superbly well but it would be nice to have a decent game to play. The game is TINY. The missions are all almost identical.

The game is TINY. The missions are all almost identical. Fight past a bunch of enemies, take out a boss and return for a pat on the back. No imagination, no variety and nothing to play for after level 20. The chests are hard to find and when you find them, what do you find in them? A really cool weapon or tons of credits - NOPE - if you are lucky a few coin and a flower.

    Borderlands literally DESTROYS this game without trying.

    All the promises and all the hype were just that - empty promises and BS hype. Anyone would guess that the developers went to the same lying school as the Fable developers.

    SO disappointed with this. It plays like the Rolls Royce of shooters but actually delivers a coconut shy of a game. Save your money.    … Expand

    Although Destiny isn't the brilliant start to a franchise that many had hoped for, it's a great game for those who can push through its flaws and enjoy the ride.

    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]
