Taken King and Rise of Iron fixed many issues that the game had at launch and as it sits right now, anyone can hop in and have one of the most enjoyable experiences in the genre. The raids are unforgettable, the strike playlist with rotating modifiers are beyond enjoyable and the weapon / ability sandbox tuning that was left the way it was remains close to perfect.

    The only faults that this game has is the unfortunate state that PvP was left in with how ammo economy functions. But if you're looking for a solely PvE game, then this one is a perfect 10/10 ignoring the issues plaguing PvP.

    Destiny 2 has improved drastically on a lot of issues that Destiny 1 had, but it still fails to be as fun and replayable as Destiny 1 once was. One of my favorite games of all time.

    The score reflects how the game currently is as of 6/12/2023.    … Expand

    The Destiny marathon of reviews begins with Destiny or as I like to call it: Destiny: The First Chapter. The First Chapter is what started it all for this series with great gameplay, beautiful graphics, a intriguing story, engaging characters, and overall, a great way to kick off Destiny into what it is today.

    Destiny is not a perfect game. What destiny is is an incredible gaming experience. It has a foundation that lays down the possibility for incredible future. From the incredible landscapes, the world building, incredible musical score and ambience. Like any young platform and has its weaknesses and has what I believe to be an incredible experience for years to come.

I feel obligated to give it a good review as I had so much fun with it for a long time, but it probably doesn’t deserve this rating because of the bad dlc content. The base game is what I remember and what I enjoyed.… Expand

    At the time i was very bored of games like COD and Battlefield. I didn't know I could like RPGs so much when it was combined with a shooter. This game provided me with 3000 hours of playtime for 3 years. I spent $190 on it though which is kind of a lot for just one game

The developers are in a dialogue with the players and aside from the odd secretiveness are pretty open about the game. If I compere time played vs money spent, this is easily the chepest game I ever bought. The movement is fluid, the gunplay is snappy and if the beta for the sequel is any indication, Destiny2 will be as good from the start as Destiny1 after 3 years. 5/7 would buy!… Expand

    Multiplayer is good in principle and could not otherwise be, given that developers are the creators of Halo and the graphics are normal, upset only by the lack of full story of the company and without reference to the Internet. I hope the second part is correct

    ***TWO THINGS***

    ~~1~ THE GAME is awesome and has the BEST control in any shooter game ever.. and ive been gaming since early 90's...

    ~~2~ THE COMPANY IS EVIL~ (Bungie)
    ~And this is a big deal..That story of Bungie ripping off and trying to silence the composer/music director for Bungie is ALL TRUE..And it horrified me...Don't downplay this story my fellow gamers...
    because Bungie not only fired the guy, but they kept ALL HIS STOCK IN THE COMPANY. We are talking about 80 Million dollars in stock or whatever the amount was...
    *He destroyed Bungie in court and Bungie got yelled at by the Judge for using pathetic Tactics in the courtroom to make it appear like they achieved even a small victory...ALL OF THIS IS 100% TRUE AND CAN EASILLY BE GOOGLED...
    ~So yeah,,i can ignore Bungie and pretend they are the good ole boys from Halo 1 + 2 and the VICTIMS of Microsoft and they finally got independence. but all the rumours were TRUE about THIS GAME, DESTINY getting nerfed and broken up into pieces...

    ~~This story was gutted and this is another huuuge story and the reason the score is 78 or 79 instead of the 97 or 98 It woulda shoulda gotten had the game not been cut by 75%..
    YES 75% IS MISSING...

    ***GREED WON THE DAY AND Bungie reputation took a Hillary style hit...
    **I recently returned to Destiny after I bought the newest dumb expansion for $40 bucks..(lame)

    **and I was amazed at the control and shooting mechanics...In the eyar off I took, I played Metal gear Solid V for 6 months str8, and I played FARCRY 4,,FARCRY PRIMAL(garbage) and The Division..And both these games are mediocre with guns and control compaired ot DESTINY...
    I cant say this enough...But the company is really bad and the rumors I heard about missing content is I suspect TRUE..and that means Bungie is a slave to Activision..Thats the price of theyre freedom from Microsoft...
    ***Had DESTINY been made by Bungie under Microsoft = we woulda had Game of the year and a legend along the Lines of Halo 1 +2....Activision + Bungie allowed Greed to take control and that sound guy is a eff'n Hero....Bungie/Activision DESTROYED his reputation like Hillary did the women Bill Clinton fed D*** too....This man is a hero who yes wanted his money,,but the reason Bungie fired him was because he took a stand and stood up to activision........EVERYONE WHO IS A GAMER MUST READ THAT STORY....    … Expand

Unfortunately, at launch it wasn't available yet, much like today's hottest game, the Division.

I gave it an 8 though because it has real potential. When i look at destiny i see a game butchered, that could have been spectacular. The game as it stands is OK. But i write this review saying that you shouldn't give up hope. Destiny can be a great game and a game worth investing in. I realize alot of people have lost interest, but i would suggest to new players, give it a chance at the next DLC and to old players who left i would say. At the very least pick up destiny 2.
    Pros-
    Its a fun multiplayer experience
    Awesome Sci Fi shooter
    Awesome co-op shooter
    Great story...(dont hurt me... its there... just not in the game)
    Cons-
    Limited activities to do
    Scarce DLC
    Soundeffects could use work
    broken mechanics (some subclasses are just blatently more broken)
    binding functionality
    Just to elaborate on 2 of those
    Pro- Great Story- A lot of people would give me a lot of hate for saying this but i have to disagree because I think it goes deeper than that. Sure, if you play through the game the story is pretty bad, but i see potential in it. For what it was going to be as well as what it could be. I'm more trying to convince you that this game has potential for the future than quality now.
    Con- Binding Functionality- The end game content of destiny are called raids for the newbies out there. In these raids you're probably at some point going to use LFG to find our fill slots in your raid team. Whether these people accept you or not is entirely dependent on whether or not you have certain guns that aren't truly necessary but make the raid easier. This is my personal least favorite con, not just because elitism is bunk, but because they're a little right, the guns are not just the best option, they're almost the only option. I just wish the raids let you be your own kind of guardian. I just want to carry a trusty shotgun everywhere.
    That is all i hope I have instilled a little hope in the probably no one who will read this.    … Expand

Witcher 1-3, Mass Effects, Bioshocks, Dragon Age, Elder Scrolls, Monkey Island series, Grim Fandango, Last of Us, Uncharted etc have been my type of games. Then I tried Destiny which came with my PS4 bundle. At first I felt that it was underwhelming and incoherent as I was expecting a single player type epic story with tight narrative. I gave up on it but went back to it couple months after completing all my backlog games. And 2nd time round, i gave it a chance and made sure i committed a good number of hrs to it. And boy did i have FUN! This game is perfect for me, a working married adult with limited time for extended game sessions. This game made me reminisce of those childhood days where i gamed for fun! The last few games i finished felt like a chore, like a checklist of things to complete. It's refreshing to play a game and not having to keep up with an epic storyline and just de-stress and shoot some stuff. I mean i love games with great plot, characters and direction, but i guess ive been playing too much of those games and sometimes after a long day of work, i just wanna relax and unwind.

    Destiny's shooting is perfect for consoles. Never did i feel like i wish i had a mouse and keyboard which was my main gripe with playing FPS on console (just switched to PS4 from a gaming laptop which died on me). Each weapon type feels distinct and has advantages in different situations. I love the weapon designs and just collecting Exotics and Legendaries. Looting is fun (Diablo 1-3 took up 20% of my life!) but the shooting and completing challenging missions are the essence of the Destiny experience. Especially when u play co-op with either auto matchmaking or finding people on forums to team up with. To me the Exotic or Legendary loot i get at the end is just a bonus. The euphoria of overcoming a particular tough challenge with a bunch of pple is intoxicating. And i like it that we dont have to chat or type to communicate, just some random 'dance' or 'wave' character movements. That was what put me off MMOs like world of warcraft where u have to be really involved socially. This feels bery balanced where i get to play with pple but not have to socialize beyond the occassional psn messages. Although the King's Fall raids do require more detailed communication via microphones, and thats the only thng i've yet to complete.

    Story could be done much better of course and i do believe they will do a better job in the sequel. The grimoire cards (basically game lore) were annoying at first cos i thought they could be accessed in-game. But once i downloaded the Destiny app and a PDF on google for the complete grimoire collection, i realized there was a lot more to the game lore than explained in the game. This kinda impressed me and pulled me in even more. So on my 2nd character play through, I went way slower (i blazed though my first playthrough as a hunter so had no idea what the heck was going on) and listened to every dialogue, background conversation and read up every quest description. That gave the game more meat in terms of story and plot, especially after reading the complete grimoire beforehand. I wish Bungie will release a lore book in future, like Dragon Age's World of Thedas. I'd buy that.

    Anyway, this is the most fun i've had in a game in a long time. And that's not been one of my benchmarks for judging a game. It used to be graphics, story/plot, or characterization that decided for me if a game was great. Destiny just blew my mind how much fun i was having and it's very refreshing. I highly recommend this to those who enjoy FPS, looking for something fun and "mindless" to squeeze in under an hour or 30min per session, and love looting. Sign me up for Destiny 2, COLLECTORS EDITION! Keep it up Bungie, have not played a Bungie game since the original Halo 1 & 2 on the original Xbox (gave up waiting on Halo series to come on PC), so this was bloody impressive!    … Expand

As a game design enthusiast, I feel they just got so much right in this title.

    - The three weapon load out is a golden triangle. Switching between primary, secondary and heavy weapons in pitched battles feels clutch. You have options, but not too many. The power level for each feels highly appropriate. The available combinations to experiment with are numerous. They pioneered this tight + controlled weapon loadout concept in the original Halo and the design language remains strong in Destiny.

    - To continue with the point above, the gameplay and pace for an FPS feels perfect to me. Having the gunfighting component complimented with melee, grenades, and super we see that another golden triangle emerges. Tying stats to these skills was smart. Most all of they make your guardian truly feel *powerful* and unique. The RPG component of this game really has merit and doesn't detract from the FPS elements in the slightest. The skill trees remain fairly balanced between and among classes.

    - While the story was definitely...lacking in plot and exposition, the level + world design has been consistently spot on. Every area feels textured, detailed and respectively thought out. So many beautiful vistas. Travelling through the world on your sparrow can be a pure joy - providing a welcome break from the fettered pace of combat. Another beautiful and under-appreciated design feature.

    - The sound design in this game is the best I've ever come across. No title matches Destiny my honest, humble opinion when it comes to sound effects. Certain exotics are just sound addictive. Sparrows sound amazing. The hugely varied enemies all have amazing triggered sounds upon death and it compliments the FPS mechanics perfectly. You just want to keep popping off enemies.

    - They finally added meaningful multiplayer to an FPS. Competitive PvP is great and all, but what really makes Destiny sweet is the strikes and raids. These are the bread and butter of Destiny and really what make it stand apart from other games on the market. I've been a huge proponent of cooperative gameplay ever since Halo 1 truly pioneered split-screen play. Playing with other humans against AI just makes it so much more involving and fun, it's hard to put a finger on it. The loot from these activities is a huge draw that keeps you coming back for more, reminds me very much of Diablo 2. Completing your first raid feels like a huge accomplishment in teamwork. The feeling is really only matched by a handful of MMORPGs. Bungie deserves all the credit in the world for bringing this not only to FPS players, but to console users as well.

    - The lore is captivating and the entire premise of the world is highly alluring. I love how this is a science fiction title based in our own solar system, not some randomly named star-system we could care less about. The combination of familiarity and wonder really comes together for a backdrop that is truly unmatched for the vast majority of game titles. This is a game I willingly invest myself in because it's just so damn cool. Coolest game I've played in the last decade. This is obviously a highly subjective opinion but I just had to say it.    … Expand

    Destiny is a game of rich vibrant planets, awesome weapons and terrifying and intriguing enemies. I found myself fully immersed and heavily challenged in certain areas of the game. The blurring of the lines between online and story mode aspects work perfectly, as the inclusion of online players in your campaign missions imbue further atmosphere.

The gunplay it superb but too many other things are lacking.

    If you can forgive the very uninspired art style and level design, graphics and gameplay are good but everything else is completely lacking. FFIV is a better MMO, Borderlines a better Co-Op game, and they're countless better SP and competitive MP FPS games out there. It feels as if Bungie was completely insecure in everything except the graphics and Halo-esq gameplay.

    Being Bungie I expected an epic story but it's not. It's very bland with horrible voice acting. Word of advice to devs thinking of using very well-known actors with iconic TV/movie characters as voice actors in games is a good idea. It's not. When trying to create a new character don't use someone who constantly reminds me of someone else. All I hear is a completely bored Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister). (Same goes for you MGS - it sounds like the actors try and take the character seriously...but they can't)

    Destiny tries to be several games in one but In the end Destiny is a pretty bad MMO, a horrible Single Player experience due to the bland story, level design and lack of set pieces or otherwise inspired graphics, and an average co-op game. Also, competitive MP can be had better elsewhere.

    It tries to be the jack of all trades and excels at none. And given the content, level design, and scope of the game it hard to imagine that the majority of the 500 million budget went towards making the game and not to marketing.

    The way I see it Destiny sells you 4 games for $70 (in Canada), but MMO's are free, the SP isn't worth anything, the CO-OP and Competitive MP are probably worth $29.99 each but neither game can compete with their better peers in each respective genre. All I picture when I play this game is that meme with the dog in a lab coat and glasses with the caption, "I have no idea what I'm doing", especially in terms of the the MMO and story elements.. That comes across here. They would have been better off making a Borderlands clone but with a great story... This game was not made with confidence, gameplay aside.

    If your playing alone don't even bother with this game and don't expect to make any friends as it's impossible to communicate with people. If you have TWO buddies it can be fun, but guaranteed someone is going to get bored with the repetitive nature and stop playing    … Expand

    This game is one of the highest quality FPS games I have ever played. The multiplayer matches are great and could be enough to keep you having all the fun you need. Activision succeeds in making this game comparable to the Call of Duty series in quality of multiplayer online PvP.

    The gameplay mechanics and graphics are great! I never felt wonky or that I didn't have total control of what actions I wanted my character to do. Feels very smooth and is just a seamless shooter of the quality of any of the Halo games.

    The story is the major issue. There isn't one, at least not one that's very accessible. Grimoire is where the story is unlocked, but for the normal person you won't want to go read dozens of cards to see more about the story, but there seems to be a rich world, very much so hidden.

    The MMO portion also is something to get by. If you don't mind having to pay for DLC every few months in order to stay up to date with the game then this won't bother you at all, but if you don't keep up, or try to jump in late, then this will feel overwhelming.

    The game has gone through many changes and upgrades, and seems to be improving in the places it was failing, but overall this is an amazing game.

    The fact there's no matchmaking for Raids is even more of a misstep, but whatever, LFG websites made it feasible.
    The core game play is good. It has the top quality gun play that only exists in Halo / CoD series, and tried to fit it in a pseudo MMO setting. The 6 classes felt different enough for me to be invested in all of them almost evenly.

    The amount of content wasn't there compared to your typical MMO endgame, but as long as you are playing to 'get better', it won't feel like a mindless grind for gears. It would be a lot better if the developers focused a bit more on PVP, made it more rewarding to perform well, balanced guns more, from the very beginning. By the time they got around to that, I had already moved on.

    Looking back at the 600 something hours I've spent in the game, I feel like the game did more things right than wrong, especially with the frequent patches, the developers are really trying to make the game great.

You get all these folks out there that defend Nightfall, VoG, and Crota's End for not falling under matchmaking, because somehow it would make the game easier if it were? I'm sorry, but not having a job and a family to take care of doesn't make you "hard core" or make the game any more challenging to you. Matchmaking is essential for me, and many others, because I just don't have the time (or the amount of personal online friends) to start my own group or wait to join one. You don't hurt anyone by making all content LFG. Just do it.

This is an arcade shooter jacked up to 11, and it's simply fun.

    This game has the element of being a shameless collectathon -- I might be the first one to make this comparison but it's the exact reason that I loved Banjo-Kazooie. This is a gamer's game to the very core. Collect, cash-in for loot, repeat. Completing end game content in a group setting is some of the all-time greatest co-op in my opinion. This game deserves to be discussed with the likes of Skyrim, Ocarina of Time, and other all-time classics.

    What makes it even better is the fact that reviewers more or less panned the game. And bungie couldn't care less because of the community that emerged. This isn't about IGN or gamespot, or any COD game that will inevitably get 9s and 10s. This is originality, and something that the gaming industry was NOT ready for. Bungie, thank you so so much. I will be playing this for years.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I know im going to get a lot of hate for this but im not the type to really give a flying toast about it.

    This might not come to you as a surprise to you guys but all you see on this forum all day, everyday, all the god damn time is someone whining, complaining,crying,hating or telling everyone that their leaving destiny forever. So I decided to make this post of appreciation.

    I like Destiny, Im 25 years old, married, no children. I paid about 100$ for this game(including both dlcs), and I have over 1000 combined hours of play time and entertainment from it, I would be an ungrateful brat if I said that I didn't get my moneys worth. Destiny allows me to burn free time with enjoyment. I like the thrill you get when you finally obtain the exotic that you've been waiting for. I like to open chests and find undiscovered presents. I love the fact that no matter how bad Bungie Fcks up, I keep coming back for more. I like the fact that this game entertains me enough that I don't have to spend more dough on other games(for the meanwhile). I love the fact that unlike COD, team tactics are actually essential and necessary to beat the competition. I love the fact that you have so many different things to do every week, all you have to do is chose(Poe/ToO/Nightfalls/Crota raid/Vog raid/Crucible/Farming/Bounties/Strikes). i love the fact that (LFG) allows you to meet new people, and play together from all over the world(diversity is awesome), conversating with them, making new gaming friends, have some laughs about Bungies mistakes, and knocking Skolas on his arse. I love the sense of accomplishment that you feel when you first beat a new raid, or the first time you get 9-0 in ToO, The first time you get that Darn GJallarhorn(although some of you havnt gotten it yet, it will come).

    I know that some of you will hate
    Some of you will be teachers, and correct my spelling mistakes
    Some of you will insult or degrade
    Some of you will dispute that this game is actually pretty good
    Haters gona hate, ainters gona aint...you hate us cuz you ainus
    But that has nothing to do with this post.

    All im saying, is that we should appreciate destiny for what it is. A fun, sometimes rewarding, addicting, very social, visually stunning and enticing game. If it wasn't, people wouldn't have hundreds of hours invested into it.

    Sincerely,
    A satisfied casual gamer    … Expand

If I want to battle against other meatsuits in a hectic arena full of vitriol and aggression, I can enter the crucible and feel the pain there. If I want to collaboratively fight in PvE I can join with friends and do the weeklies, raids, or Prison of Elders. This game is the broadest, most engaging, most varied FPS I have ever experienced, and the folks at Bungie have worked hard to create new, compelling experiences that keep me interested and rewarded for playing daily.

    As a very sporadic and casual gamer, I usually do not care too much for a storyline or enthralling dialogue.

However, as I said I don't care too much about that so to me this game is the best multiplayer shooter I've played in years. I could see that Destiny would get boring for single players but I very rarely play it alone. This is a great game for chilling after work and shooting some enemies with great-feeling game mechanics.
    To me the best thing about this game is that when you reach level 20 you then have to grind for armour to raise your light level to increase your overall level. Since the only way to do this is either to get lots of marks to spend at vendors or receive armour in random drops, the playability of this game is fantastic. I always feel there is a purpose to me doing a mission again or aiming to do something I wouldn't normally do to strive to get that piece of armour/weapon ive been wanting for ages.
    The Crucible online PVP feels great and plays well. The only thing that would be better is if a capture the flag mode was added and also a game mode without supers as that would match my play style better.
    My friends and I have been playing this for months and are still on it so that tells a lot. If a bigger variety of bounties/patrol missions was added and a skip button for the cut scenes then this would be a 10/10 for me. However, I can definitely see this game would be a lot worse for single players or players looking for a game with a great storyline. Again, I'll repeat, the storyline is dreadful. But if I want a storyline, great characters and interesting dialogue I'll go watch a Paul Thomas Anderson film. If I want to shoot things, chill with friends and have a load of fun I'll play Destiny.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Destiny. It's hard to dissect destiny because on one hand it has an amazingly immersive, persistent and addictive public aspect that ever changes, updating mini tasks and challenges on the daily once you hit the soft level cap to keep you tied over as well as a weekly overall reset that offers some extremely difficult challenges by way of strikes and raids but on the other hand a terribly frustrating loot system, tendency to need grinding and weak story mode seek to make this game addictive but annoying.
    so, story mode, feeding in some big name actors it seems like Bungie and Activision had the right idea, only it is also easy to see that they didn't give it quite the storytelling that it so deserved and with the $500m budget, the big name actors are simply pushed into a corner where they don't get much game time. they story is left feeling dry and confused as though they scratched it together at the end after spending all their time on the other aspects of the game.
    Cooperatively and competitively though, destiny begins to shine and with it's impressive size and visuals, minus one or two frame rate drops, it does just that. Level your character up to the soft level cap of 20 and you'll unlock a myriad extra content to sniff at jumping into various strikes and raids with your friends (which is advised because solo is nails) that'll level your character up with gear to increase your guardians 'light' level so you can take on even deadlier challenges for even bigger rewards. the daily and weekly server resets will have you itching to see what challenges await next and what possible loot you can gain. if you're not a fan of any of this you can jump into the crucible, Destinys own PvP multiplayer area where even more unique loot can be earned. interesting is Xur, a mysterious vender who appears only on weekends with many high end items in tow for you to spend your hard earned exotic currencies on, acts as an interesting touch to the game and gives you the chance to get your hands on some amazing stuff, that's if he has what you want...
    However, with all this in mind there are a few hiccups that seem to be present and prominent. one is the annoying 'Random number generator' loot system which works like a dice roll to decide what loot drops you get. One personal experience of mine is having played a 15 minute crucible session one chap jumper in at the end, did nothing and was rewarded with a coveted weapon many so desperately seek this along with the grind of saving up vanguard and crucible marks (of which you can only earn 100 per week) can leave the game being a massive grind to simply advance one level.
    Overall Destiny is a game you'll play for hours and hours providing you don't mind the game, with three characters to max out you'll be here for months if you don't mind the grind. A visual and audio score to die for with a disappointing story and annoying loot system make this game an 8/10.    … Expand

    One of the things Destiny impressed me with was the art design. The enemies you face look unique, and the guns you use are nothing short of astounding in design, and the way they work. You can obviously see how the huge budget they had helped with their attention to detail, this is definetly a AAA experience. My favorite mode is the crucible (PvP), it is intense and very fun to play with the unique abilities and variety of weapon choices used in the game. This game had me hooked for 3 months, with it being my main game i played. That may not mean much though, because at the time I only had a few other games anyways. I played 100 hours in the first few weeks, if that tells you enough. I had a great time with the friends I played it with, and that can't be ignored. If you play Destiny with friends, and love PvP multiplayer, you will have fun. Also something that cannot be ignored and is a trend I wish would continue in other games is that I NEVER experienced major lag. My entire playing expierence was smooth and overall it was just fun.
    Now to the bad.
    Destiny is repetitive. It is as simple as that. Play the same strikes over and over again and dominate, only to see the other two random people who did it with you with even LESS than half the kills and assists you had both get legendaries. Also the strikes do get boring fast, feeling like a chore when you run through them. Also now, almost 8 months after it released, barely any of my friends play it, and I can only play a few matches without having boredom creep upon me.
    My score accounts for, however, the time I had with this game while I was playing it. I had fun, that's what is important to me. Right now, if you can get it for $20-$30, I would say give it a shot if you have friends who will want to play it with you, and you like the other reasons I listed above.    … Expand

A lot of people complain about the cost of the DLC but if you compare destiny to other MMO's, which it is marketed as, $60 for the game and $35 for the expansions over 7 months equates to paying about 14$ a month. Which is pretty standard for an MMO. Now if you count the 5 or so months until the next expansion, the price gets even lower. As for the negative comments about the game being "Grindy" well yeah it is, and once again it was marketed as an MMO. The problem is most people just want to be handed stuff today, so i guess having to work for it would be disappointing. Finally, the game is not perfect they could use more maps in the multiplayer and more variety in the strikes. My biggest gripe with this game is the fact that almost all of the content in the end game is cheesed.

What more can you ask from a game!

    There are some bugs, glitches, and exploits. However, I appreciate the way Bungie is working on these, communicating, and fixing these with the gaming community. All points to Bungie on this.

    When you get into Destiny, and if you stay with this game for a while, I doubt you can easily put this game aside for a long time- expansions and sequels.

    The best things about Destiny are:
    1. The iron banner multiplayer event.
    2. The raids.
    3. The overall content.
    4. Nightfall strikes.
    5. XUR
    6. Guns.
    7. The joy on dancing with your team or solo.
    8. Grinding - yes, grinding is not bad as you multiple choices on how you grind. -so choose your fun thing and grind away.
    9. The soundtrack.
    10. (Not the least) the multiplayer mechanics - probably the best in the market.

    The only flaw or negative comment on my part will be that the release of content is pretty slow. If we had a bit more content available now rather than waiting for the next Dlc, more people will resist switching to alternate games that release in the gaps between the DLCs.

    I've had this game since October and have put close to 100 hours into it, so in that regard I've definitely gotten my money's worth.

The game's mechanics are fantastic-shooting is tight and controlled. Initially there were range issues with guns, but those have been fixed over time for the most part. The reason to play this game is, currently, PvP. There's a variety of modes and there's no better shooter out right now for the PS4. In addition to that, the soundtrack and sound design are excellent.

    The PvE, however, leaves much to be desired. Enemy AI is incredibly simplistic, so shooting aliens in the face gets tiring very quickly. Story missions are incredibly repetitive, and playing the same strikes over and over gets repetitive as well. DLC content is sparse, but you must buy it in order to level past 30. Destiny's PvE suffers incredibly due to monotony, and needs new content if it is to remain competitive.

    The story also leaves much to be desired. It is clear from the Grimoire Cards that Destiny has great lore, yet none of this shows up in the game. Destiny's poorly-written, barely-there story is a disappointment, but something that can still be improved upon in future installments.

    Destiny's PvE gets boring fast, and its story is subpar at best, yet its RPG elements and great mechanics make it fun to play regardless. There is much room for improvement in future single-player and PvE content, but if you enjoy the genre, Destiny is worth purchasing.    … Expand

    Best sf-shooter since Halo.
    Best control on pad, really.
    Music, graphics, role elements – all on higest level.

    Maybe need litle bit gore and violence, now killing looks like in disney world. But overall: 10/10.

    Wait until Ultimate Edition for Destiny before buying it waitnow not worth 59.99USD
    Don't Buy DLC or Don't Buy Season Pass.
    This is Pay to Unlock since Fileszie is less then 200MB Really under 10mb.
    Skip this also all others one coming for Destiny.

    Sure, it has its flaws, but keep in mind, this is one of the few (and maybe only) T-rated FPS game out there. I hate when the ESRB complains and rates everything M. I have friends that aren't allowed to play games like Battlefield and Call of Duty because of how all they do is swear and blood sprays out of bodies like a hose. Hate it all you want, but just remember, this might be theSure, it has its flaws, but keep in mind, this is one of the few (and maybe only) T-rated FPS game out there.

If you're a teenager, I recommend you rent this game at least for a few days.… 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]
