    I've put 100s of hours into Halo, Halo:Reach, and Battlefield 4. I also put 4-5 years into World of Warcraft. I know games. I know when I'm playing a good game or when I'm playing a bad game. If anyone was excited for this game, I was. I mean the marriage of the two gaming genres I've played my entire life. An MMOFPSRPG!? I was all in on this game.

    But here's the problem with Destiny:    I've put 100s of hours into Halo, Halo:Reach, and Battlefield 4. I also put 4-5 years into World of Warcraft. I know games. I know when I'm playing a good game or when I'm playing a bad game. If anyone was excited for this game, I was. I mean the marriage of the two gaming genres I've played my entire life. An MMOFPSRPG!? I was all in on this game.

    But here's the problem with Destiny: it is actually 2 games. I'll explain.

    1) Early progression. When you first start playing the game it is a great experience. Leveling your class, collecting awesome new weapons and items, first unlocking your super, getting your first sparrow and killing your first strike boss. The beginning stages of this game are great. It's a very fun experience. Gameplay is great. Gun play is perfect, but once gameplay kind of sets in you start to realize where this game has flaws.

    2) Max Level - when you hit level 20, it's like you hit a wall. You are forced to play the same strikes over and over again for a chance at a better piece of gear. And in these strikes, there's no way to kick anyone from the party so now a days people will just sit there while you have to do all the work. No really, they will just sit at the beginning part of the instance and you have to run on and do it all.

    When you hit this wall, you also realize how completely embarrassing the story was. I mean horrible. One of the worst stories of any game I've ever played. Just embarrassing coming from Bungie. None of the characters even have a name....seriously. I still to this day don't know a single character's name from the base game.

    The raid was probably the most fun I've had in this game. I beat the raid multiple times, so I wasn't one of those people who didn't push through to get to level 30. I actually hit 30. I played WoW for years. I'm used to the grind, but WoW actually has good lore and story compared to this. Gameplay is EXTREMELY important in a game, but when you also have an amazing story and lore it's a perfect combination. Destiny has great gameplay, but I didn't care about what I was doing in the PVE because the story was so awful. It's like you're told, "Alright, you're the good guy, now go shoot the baddies because they want to kill that orb over there." Besides this there is no context.

    Then once I hit level 30, all the controversies started to come out: Reddit, figuring out they had cut content prior to the game being released (people glitched into them), lead writer and lead music composer had been fired or let go or quit. All these things started to weigh down on me because of what this game COULD have been. All of my friends feel the same way as I do about this game. My friends were so disappointed and hurt by bungie and Destiny that they sold their ps4 completely. They just couldn't over come the disappointment, false advertising, and trust that Bungie completely broke with their fans.

    The longer I write this review, the lower I click the score because honestly, this game cut me deep. I was really looking forward to this game from Bungie and I find it to be one of the most disappointing games of all time. Don't buy this game. Activision and Bungie need to be taught a lesson.    … Expand

I don't even have to listen to my teammates grumble if I'm not playing "good" enough for them. It's a game safe enough for my kids in a couple of years and I appreciate that.
    For anyone who's complaining about Activision charging too much for anything, might I remind you that Skylanders and Disney Infinity exists! For those with children you understand and can appreciate that $40 for the next expansion this fall is a drop in the bucket.
    I think most people complaining about the prices of expansions are expansion "noobies" who haven't played WoW, Diablo,Starcraft, Warcraft, etc. There are people working on the game and they have to get paid. If you don't like the game don't pay them and stop with the vanilla version. If you DO like the game, pay your designers and I'll see you in the Crucible!    … Expand

    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

    Destiny in its core is a fun game that doesn't have too many bugs and playes well. The music is amazing, story feels interesting and the enemies are amazing, even if reused a lot. There is a lot of different weapons and abilities to use that are supposed to make the game more deep and interesting.

There is a lot of different weapons and abilities to use that are supposed to make the game more deep and interesting.

    Now the problem: Destiny doesn't have a finished story. The two DLC that cost 30€ brought some useless info into the game, but didn't add to the actual story. And since the story is lacking, you'd want to play some Crucible (PVP) to spend your time. The matchmaking system is complete crap. You don't really see it in 6 vs 6 battles, but when you're put together with two **** players for hours without your actual K/D affecting it, it tends to make a guy mad.

    That's not all. Bungie made a lot of changes to PVP by nerfing Auto Rifles, just because they were used so much and they decided them to be so OP that people didn't like other guns. That ended up making PVP into a game type with only 3-5 different primary weapons used and 2-3 secondary. If you try crucible, you'll propably be killed by these: Thorn, The Last Word, Hawkmoon (all handcannons), or Party Crasher +1, Felwinter's Lie and Matador 64 (All shotguns).

    Bungies idea to nerf AR's to make other guns popular made it so that only these weapons are used and you'd rarely see some others like Red Death and the messenger.

    This has been going since February and they haven't done anything to rebalance the weapon system.
    I truly enjoyd Crucible prior to the nerf as you could actually see amazing weapons, but now that crap.

    Due to the current status of Destiny, I've decided not to buy the Taken King DLC and propably not any other either.    … Expand

Bungie expects us to go on the Destiny website to READ lore which should be in the game. They can't take out vital chunks of info and plonk it on a website which you have to UNLOCK after playing the game itself. What!?
    On the other hand, the gun-play was epic. You can see the structure of the gameplay is ultimately Halo with a different skin which is just awesome!
    Starter levelling up was great, completing bounties and unlocking a new upgrade was amazing- Every time you unlocked an upgrade you felt proud. Unfortunately, after reaching level 20, it became a bit repetitive.
    Among lots of stupid stuff Bungie has included, two stand out: light level and engrams. Light level was just boring but whose idea was it to get items which wasn't for your class from legendary and exotic engrams!? Also, if I worked hard enough to get a legendary engram, I deserve a legendary item, not a uncommon piece of gear!
    The online was nothing new but with gunplay it was awesome.
    I wish Bungie would make a Destiny remake this time resembling the original story ( Bungie's writer for Destiny, Joe Staten, left before the game was made) . The campain now in Destiny is a total joke. Bear in mind this is the creative people who developed Halo. Gosh this game affected Bungie's reputation. They've took out key parts of the story that are probably going to appear in future DLC. What!? I payed £40 for a game, not for part of a game. So much potential wasted...
    The graphics were nothing to be excited about. In some places the textures looked horrible.
    Last and definitely least, the Random Number Generator. This is by far the unfair and unorganised system EVER! Your rewards aren't based o skill, there based on luck. WHAT!? How dare they... For example if I came first in a game of control with 30 kills and a K/D ratio of 9.70 can get nothing and the player who slayed one Guardian can get a legendary rocket launcher!
    Bungie, get your act together.

    The final verdict is a 6/10. It would be a 3/10 if the gunplay wasn't so good!
    Peace out. (:    … Expand

They had the right scores for the wrong reasons.

    For the single player "Destiny" is fun but not engaging. There are plenty of missions and on-line activities and shooting aliens is fun as it was in "Halo". There are no memorable moments from any of the missions. You escort Dinklebot to a waypoint, Dinklebot screws up, and you have to defend Dinkeblot from waves of attackers. The whole story makes no sense. Nevertheless, the first play-through is fun enough that most players will enjoy this portion of the game.

    Bungie says the real meat of "Destiny" is the co-operative on-line content consisting of strikes, the raid which is now 2 raids after December, and also an arena mode added in May. In actuality, the real meat of "Destiny" is the meta-game of collecting in-game items to reach the highest level. This meta-game is severely hampered by a lack of fun and a lack of rewards. Most of the in-game items are dropped randomly, meaning that some players will never receive the gear deserve no matter how long they play. The best in-game items, the raid legendaries, are all dropped randomly. For each weapon or piece of armor, you need to grind for experience to unlock all abilities as if you are working a job and not playing a game for enjoyment. Worse, you quickly discover that most of the activities in "Destiny" provide subpar rewards at best, and there is an inverse correlation between the quality of the rewards and the amount of fun you have playing an activity.

    Then there are the bugs. More than 9 months after release, the game is riddled with bugs. The connection to Bungie's servers is always flaky. Enemies and opposing players will freeze and take no damage. Then they may flit around the map with super speed. The two raids are especially frustrating because a litany of bugs can turn a 15 minute boss fight into hours of frustration topped off by sub-par rewards. Competitive multi-player is worse off because "Destiny" uses one player's console to host the game instead of running the game off of dedicated servers. Cheating through lag manipulation is as rampant as the lag itself.

    Like many players, I have put hundreds of hours into "Destiny". They weren't all good hours. For ever fun moment there are many more filled with frustration over the bugs, heart break over the poor rewards, and mindless grinding all in the hope that one day "Destiny" will be as fun as advertised. If I could go back in time I would tell myself to buy another game. Of course I have made a good friends through "Destiny", and I enjoy playing "Destiny" with them. I wish we could all play another game instead. If you are looking into joining "Destiny", I advise you don't. If you picked up a used copy of "Destiny" for cheap, enjoy the single player experience and move on.    … Expand

    When it comes to game play destiny is one of the best. The shooting, the NPC's, and the game play itself is amazing. I don't feel like there is major bugs (anymore), and the small open worlds are easy to navigate, and full of things to do. The NPC's are still challenging even when you max at your level, and they have enough AI to make it fun to shoot them.
    Another good aspect of this game is PVP. It is fun, and even lower level players can enter the arena and do fairly decent. The only complaint I have for this is that it seems gear almost has no meaning when fighting other players. I was one hit killed by a level 2 player the other day, and with the equipment I possess this should be impossible, but I understand Bungie has to even things out, and this is a minor issue, so I will not put it as a complete negative.
    Now on the bad side of things...and there is a lot. First, there is practically no story line to this game, and the small tidbits you get make no sense. It is almost as if an entirely different game was made, and then someone went in there and cut it all up; keeping only certain pieces of the original. Now I have read and watched several reviews, and they all seem to state the Destiny we now see, is not the Destiny originally planned, and the lack of story line spawns from a need for the company to make money from DLC. Which is of course shameful if true.
    Second, the game is horribly repetitive. Even as the DLC's came out it was the same reputation missions as before. Plus there was no extra story give with the DLC's. I am not even sure what the point of Dark Below was. It didn't educate me on the Hive, nor did it do anything to make me further understand why I was fighting them...or what their purpose of fighting me was for that matter. Really it just seemed like I was fighting for loot and that was it. House of Wolves seem to continue this trend, by making a few missions without explaining why you are doing them, or why the fallen are even a threat. What was the point of cutting up the game for DLC if you weren't going to further explain aspects of the game? Was it only about loot?
    Third, the drops by NPC's are laughable. I have spent countless hours on this game to get somewhat decent equipment, however none of it came from NPC drops. All of it came from either Xur, exoctic bounties, PVP, or Nightfall end of mission rewards. I have never once; in my countless hours of playing, received a legendary drop from a NPC. This is also true of the people I play the game with. Why even have loot drop if nothing good ever comes out of it?
    It seems to me (and for many), that this game could have been one of the greats, but corporate greed destroyed what might have been one of my all time favorite games. I hope this changes in the future, or I will never buy or play another Destiny sequel or DLC.    … 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.

There is no doubt in my mind that this game is addictive but to be honest the only reason I kept playing was because there was nothing else at the time of its release and all my friends were playing this. Mechanically, this game is one of the best first person shooters ive ever played and the visual/sound design were magnificent. But even the mechanics get dull when enemies feel exactly the same and main bosses require no strategy other than shooting it in the face a million times. Even the most beautiful scenery gets boring when i'm dropped into the exact same area and run through the exact same buildings to do the exact same mission. The initial 3-4 hours with this game are great but when you tear away at the layers you realise just how hollow it truly is. Taking a new character to the max level does add some re-playability to the game but the guns are still the same and eventually you realise the characters are just cosmetically different and their abilities are slight alterations of each other (seriously a warlock's nova bomb is essentially the same area of effect damage as a titan's fist of havoc). PvP is this games only redeeming factor but even that feels empty when compared to other games such as HALO, COD or battlefield which have better progression, more interesting maps and better game modes. The social aspect of this game isnt great because at any given time you are only part of a 3 or 6 man team plus poor or non-existent matchmaking completely ruins most of its limited content. It should never be considered as a MMO, not even close.

    I really did want this game to be something special, and that is why it is such a disapointment, it was made by developers who created one of my all time favourite games but practices by them and the publishers have completely put me off any future developments. There are so many other games out now that give you so much more content for a fraction of the price of this game and all of its DLC. Opening the case for the first time and you're greeted with a card that tells you to buy the season pass for the next two expansions before you even touch the disc! This bring me back to the point its the 'most expensive game ever made', I cant help but feel that the majority of that money went on advertising and false promises instead of actually developing the game. Fair play to the advertising department they earned their paychecks with amount of hype they generated with their trailers. My advice is to never believe in the hype for a game and to wait for the 'game of the year' edition where you can buy the entire game and its DLC for the original price as its release day. Even then this game would be considered painfully average at best.    … Expand

The entire game with all DLCs bought costs HUNDREDS of dollars all of which are wasted by how much of a failure this game is. The game is not innovative at all and is filled with the most bland and repetitive game play. There is hardly any story at all whatsoever, the loot system is 100% RNG (random number generator), and is hardly acceptable as a MMO. There are huge and painful limits as to how many players can do a mission. Now to the weapons (sorry if you don't understand this). The weapons in this game are a creative idea, but all the creativity is lost when you find out that the higher level weapons are just re-skins of the lower level ones. Also, the exotics in the game are the hardest weapons to get which means they should be OP, but people kept complaining at how OP they were so they got nerfed and are rendered useless. People claim the game is getting better with the DLCs that are being released, but it really just adds to the repetitive mess of doing the same thing over and over and over again 1000 time sin one week. Over all, the game is an absolute effortless waste of time and money. I personally spent a lot of time on this game looking for something good about it, but I couldn't find anything.

    One major complaint of mine is that they increased the strike difficulty for solo players, and with the way the RNG based loot is dolled out is unbelievably unfair, and so it wasn't worth it to me to try and find a strike team of strangers, because the chance at a good reward just isn't good enough. It used to be fun for me to run the nightfall solo, but Bungie essentially took away the game I bought and was having fun with, and for what, so I might force my friends buy the game so they can run the strike with me? When one hears stories from people who have played the strikes and raids every single week since release, who STILL haven't got the loot they want (usually the gallarhorn) it really hits me that you can go through all that effort and struggle for nothing?

    If you are a solo gamer don't get this game, there is nothing for you except an extremely weak story that only takes a few hours to play through, and then you are on a pointless and frustratingly random loot treadmill. And their attitude towards their fans really sucks, right now the issue is they want fans to rebuy content they already own if they want the new emotes, but they have always had an arrogant attitude of "you will play this game the way we want to you to play". Yeah I'm probably still a little salty about how Bungie basically said get with a group or GTFO of our game, with regards to running the nightfall solo, and this was back long before they finally implemented matchmaking for even the weekly strike. I suppose I should thank them for lifting my veil of addiction, I won't be spending my money at their casino anymore!    … Expand

    After all the DLC was released there is way more activities to do. This is a great game if you like RPG's. The only disappointment for me was the lack of story but the rest of the game makes up for it.

    Have you ever played a game that kept you in the mood to keep going, and to continue the game until you got bored of it? Well this is what describes Destiny.

The point of the game is to level up your character, making you stronger the more you play, you fight monsters in a post-apocalyptic    Have you ever played a game that kept you in the mood to keep going, and to continue the game until you got bored of it? Well this is what describes Destiny.

    Basics:
    Destiny is a first person shooter developed by Bungie and published by Activision. The point of the game is to level up your character, making you stronger the more you play, you fight monsters in a post-apocalyptic atmosphere. You have a "Ghost" companion helping you out (voiced by Game of Thrones actor Peter Dinklage), who tells you the story on how the alien race you face in the game has taken over the universe, and that's where it goes in terms of story telling. The game seems to throw you in without giving you enough information on what you need to know about this alien race you are facing.

    Gameplay:
    At the very start you have the option to choose whatever race you want to play, there is an option what gender you would like to be. You can spoof up your character by adding some color and miscellaneous items. After creating your hero you are awoken by your new companion robot, you are immediately asked to go find a weapon and a ship to go to the main town of the game.
    Once arriving at the main town of the game you are asked to explore more of the once populated Earth, the missions given are different, they all take place in the same land, but different. There are the main story missions which you can do to explore some of the later planets farther in the game, and there are side missions. Side missions can be found by selecting "Patrol Mission" on the map screen, you earn awards and level up the more you do. The down side to the patrol missions is most of them are the same type of mission like, "Go kill these guys" or "Kill this boss" or "Find a specific object", and sense this game involves around real life time, these missions will repeat the next day, it just gets old after a while.
    There are missions offered in the main town, you can do bounties for extra loot and level up faster, which is the fastest way to leveling up. The bounties are all different, but you will very likely get some of the same ones you had from the previous day, this is another repetitive feature to the game. You can buy more equipment by spending the currency that is dropped by the species you face.

    Multiplayer:
    This is a big factor in the game, other players will be exploring just like you are. You can team up with other players in the over world, there is also a PvP option, but that requires Playstation Plus if you have Plasystation, or Microsoft Gold if you have Xbox. The PvP option (called "The Crucible") has different modes like capture the flag, deathmatch, capture the point, etc. You start off waiting to find players to play with, it can take a while, but you will eventually get into the game. Depending on whatever game mode you picked you will have to do the objective to win the game.
    The gameplay itself is overall fun, but again, it just gets old after awhile. Depending on what level you are when you start, you will always play against players that have a higher level than you. The game encourages you to keep playing by giving you crucible marks and other loot after each match. The loot you obtain can range from a low level to a legendary level (being the highest rated level), you can also spend some of the crucible marks you are awarded at the crucible shop at the main town.
    Overall the multiplayer mode is just another way to convince players to continue playing the game, it is not a bad idea, but the fact you need membership is just the downside to this feature.
    There are also strikes, strikes are side missions you can do to level up your character. Strikes can only be played with 3 players, any players less the harder the strike will be. You fight your way through with the random players you are assigned to work with, each strike has an objective, the objective you are given will depend on how hard it is. At the end of each strike you will obtain loot and experience to level up your character.

    Final Opinion:
    Overall Destiny is fun and visually stunning, but the game gets boring after reaching level 20, which is the maximum you can go, you can obtain equipment to go beyond that level. I would say the only reason to keep playing is if you are addicted to the multiplayer if you have no other FPS Multiplayer game you have. Destiny tries so hard by adding new things to the game, but it just does not work, sure the expansions sound cool, it just is not enough to keep players entertained. Destiny's gameplay is like Borderlands, just remove the open world aspect and you have something that is less entertaining. I only recommend Destiny if you are looking for something to have fun for a while or have friends that play this game, otherwise skip, there is really no reason to buy a game that is only good for the first 2 weeks of gameplay.    … Expand

    September 2014, my dreams came true... sort of.

    -Story-

    There isn't. From what I recall, you are this city's only hope from evil forces coming in blah blah blah. I couldn't tell what was going on as I was too busy interested shooting some poor aliens skull in. The addition of the grimore cards to try and expand the plot elements don't really make a difference to the story whatsoever.

    -Gameplay-

    The gunplay in the game is very good and the option to upgrade it is nice as well. The addition of bounties and strikes add difficulty to the game. Only problem is that they are all the same really. Typically its go out, shoot some aliens, go and wait for that robot to work his magic whilst you shoot some more, shoot boss, done. That will be the same for most of the bounties (some bounties you have to collect something). Raids I have played and its one of the highlights of the game, as you need team communication to complete it.

    -Multiplayer-

    Plays a bit like COD but more floaty and less dying at spawn. If you have high ranking guns and a fusion rifle, then you're set for the game.

    -DLC-

    Now, I haven't got any of the DLC's for Destiny as it's around £20 for one, which is the price of a second hand game. For a few maps, weapons raid and a strike, that is a bit too much (yes, I know, the DLC's for COD mostly had 4 maps plus a goodie, but they were £11).

    Overall, I can't really see myself playing Destiny that much due to the repetitive nature of it. Endgame is the same as story, grind and repeat, grind and repeat.

This is every mission in the game, as well as every strike mission. There is no story whatsoever, and the only way to learn more about the world and what's going on is to turn off your game, go bungies website, and read some cards of info that are unlocked by playing the game. Not only is this a cheap device to get people to play more, but it breaks immersion completely, which makes the music and the beauty of the game pointless. There's 4 groups of enemies in the game, and each group has different kinds of enemies. There are no unique enemies besides the bosses, and those are actually just larger, slightly different looking versions of one of the normal enemies. The loot system is completely broken, and in such a way that you must play for days just to find a better item. There are 3 categories of weapon; Primary, Secondary, and heavy weapons. Primary weapons consist of rifles, and pistols. There are only 3 kinds of secondary weapons, and only 2 kinds of heavy weapons. Because of the multiplayer battles, the best weapons are eventually nerfed, making them nothing special. When I find a really nice gun, I don't feel good about getting it, because I know it took no skill. I could have just been weighing my team down, and still got the weapon. Bungie and Activision sold us a game that was incomplete, expecting us to pay for expansions to complete the game. I will never buy another game from Activision because of this game. It's the last straw for me. None of this is even the worst about the game. Bungie released videos of story and interaction between the player and other characters. None of this exists in final game.

    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.

    A satisfied casual gamer    … Expand

On top of that this game's main focus is it's loot, but with such horrible weapon variety the urge to keep playing is not there at all.

    Hyping a game too much is a risky move, and Destiny shows you why. In this review of Destiny I will give my opinions and ratings on the following: Gameplay, Story, Sound, Graphics, and Last Impressions. This will be followed by my final score for the game.

Bungie knows how to make a shooter and    Hyping a game too much is a risky move, and Destiny shows you why. In this review of Destiny I will give my opinions and ratings on the following: Gameplay, Story, Sound, Graphics, and Last Impressions. This will be followed by my final score for the game.

    Gameplay: 8.5/10
    - Destiny is a lot of things, and an excellent shooter is one of them. Bungie knows how to make a shooter and they prove this yet again with Destiny. Controls are responsive, shooting is accurate and fun, and coordinating your attacks with friends/teammates can make the game feel quite tactical.

    Story: 4/10
    - Destiny falls flat on it's face with the poor story telling. It might not even be poor story telling as much as a lack of story telling. The game has very few cutscenes (a total of maybe 5), and they mostly just confused me on my first playthrough. The game attempts to do some story telling through your quest descriptions and bounties, but this mostly feels like "Kill this guy, then we'll scan the environment" over and over again. The game also ends out of no where, but that seems fitting I guess, since the story was a mess from the start.

    Sound: 7/10
    - Nothing special to talk about here. Voice acting is few and far between, but is delivered well enough on those rare occasions someone has something to say. Combat sounds good, and monsters shriek as you'd expect them to. Music is great at times, "pumping" you up for battle, and at other times it's just annoying and overly loud.

    Graphics: 8.5/10
    - The graphics in this game are very good. The different areas you visit are few, but each has it's own look to it and at first they are really incredible. The big problem here is the lack of areas. There are 4 planets, which all look incredible the first few times around, but after you've seen everything a few times, it's all old and dry. Character models and guns look good, as you'd expect from Bungie.

    Last Impressions
    - The biggest problem with destiny is the lack of content. People expecting to get a diverse and expansive experience will be disappointing with Destiny. The game is over before you know it, and then becomes a grind to gain better gear and levels. This can be fun with friends, no doubt, but the lack of content in a game that was supposed to be "enormous" is very disappointing. Destiny is an average game at best, but play with the right people and you can have a decent time playing pretty much anything.

    Destiny is a wonderfully addicting, fun, mindless shooter that had the potential to to be the defining game of the current generation. Unfortunately, the potential was mishandled, and instead of the great game that was promised, Destiny is a mediocre shared world shooter with too much emphasis on PVP, horrible net code, and uninspired story telling.

    That ending felt like an uppercut with a bag of **** I immediately sold the Stranger's Rifle and listed the game on Ebay. Quite a bummer cause the controls felt good, the visuals were solid and multiplayer was fun despite only having like 3 game modes but the rest of the game was as wholesome as a styrofoam cup.

    I've been playing Destiny since the beta. Back then, we realized that the combat felt tight, ferocious, and exhilirating at times, and strangely calm and patient at others, and that hasn't changed. The ability of this game to fit into so many emotional buckets is its strength. If I want to go chill out, I can do some farming. While farming, public events will pop up or Wolves will prowl,I've been playing Destiny since the beta.

The ability of this game to fit into so many emotional buckets is its strength. If I want to go chill out, I can do some farming. While farming, public events will pop up or Wolves will prowl, and I get to up the intensity briefly. If I want to play alone, I can find an intense or easy game. 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.
    Is it perfect? No. Have I become a loyal player? Absolutely. I haven't enjoyed a game this much for years, and I don't expect any other game will come close for a while (I'm very excited about the potential of No Man's Sky, but that's a different genre altogether).    … Expand

    I started playing FPS games back in Duke Nukem, followed by unreal, halo, tribes, call of duty and so on. Been around a LONG time playing these types of games. Was never the greatest at any of them but enjoyed them all. That brings me to this disaster.

    This is the single biggest disaster I have ever played on ANY platform. First time in my life I wish I could return a game. I always figure that not everything is for everybody so if I bought a game and didn't like it, I would just move on. Until this garbage.....

    This trash is nothing but frustration and confusion with a side of anger. No walk through to actually tell you what's going on. Storyline is well... I don't know what the story is. Gameplay consists of wandering around trying to figure out what the heck your suppose to do and some shooting at things for reasons I have yet to understand. No clue what the objectives are, how to level, how to progress or any understanding what the point of this "game" is.

    If you are unfortunate enough to buy this garbage, try and find a HUGE guide to help you. I have played for a few hours and literally have no clue how or why to do a single thing. News flash for devs... Confusion is not fun and games are suppose to be fun. A guide should be used as a reference not as a step by step instruction on what to do and that's what you need to figure this out. Complete failure of a game.

    I'm sure that once you figure this out that is ok but to play (feels like work) for hours and to still have no clue about ANYTHING? Well that's just a failure by the devs.

    On another note, I went on their website to get help and their website is as awful as their game. Couldn't find any help what so ever! They don't even give you a way to contact them. No working email or anything. It's like they new they were putting out a game that was going to ANGER the FPS community and they didn't want to have to deal with it.

    Best review I can give is..... Incomplete. I can't effectively review a game that I can't figure out. Complete failure! I'm offended I spent money on this and if I had the option I would return it with a smile and never look back. Never felt like this with any game in my long life.    … Expand

Yet it felt like there was less content in this game than a Sega Genesis game! The story is so bare bones that I don't give a **** about any character, even Peter Dinklage's performance feels like a waste. Nothing is explained, you're just revived and here go fight these aliens without an explanation whatsoever. From what I've heard, the main writer for the story got fired 6 months before release and they had to scrap the story and start over, no wonder the story sucks.

    The graphics don't feel or look much better than PS3, they're just average.

    The levels are the worst aspect about the game, I heard it was supposed to be an open world MMO FPS RPG, you just drop to the same spot in the same level every time and fight the same enemies every time. The enemies are beyond boring and bland. The back drops are boring, lifeless, and bland. Every mission is the same mission, just defend your little guide from hords, that's it.

    There is so little content in this game that it makes it so boring, I have never played such a boring game in my life and I've played some boring titles.

    In addition to being boring and bland, there is one other problem I have with the game, the loading, there is so much loading. Your ship is the loading screen no less, which is so BS because it gives me the idea that the developers missed a GOLDEN opportunity to have space battles.

    The whole game just screams laziness, and that's the worst part, $500 million for a budget and this game is more boring, bland, disappointing, and irritating than an Adam Sandler movie! It just goes to show that graphics, big budget, AAA doesn't mean JACK! The fact that this game supposedly won over 100 awards is just an outright LIE!

    A good game has a clear and engaging story, good controls, engaging not too repetitive gameplay (core gameplay can be repetitive, but it's the story, level, or mission that can make the gameplay fun and enjoyable), good characters that you care about (REAL missed an opportunity here, the fact the game is an mmo is just SO boring, and that you can't get AI party members at all to join if you don't have friends or don't make friends, it would've made the game so much more enjoyable at least like Mass Effect), graphics at this point is just icing on the cake if they're good or charming (like Minecraft charming).

    This game could have had so much more! It lacks so much, yet has the balls to be full price for what feels like an unfinished rushed title.

    Oh, it's published by Activision, that explains a whole lot now...    … Expand

THE LOVE: Gorgeous graphics, a great ability tier that allows you to change your character to a different sub class as you progress and a decent stock of weapons that gain XP as you use them allowing you to unlock their varying features which are mostly unique to each weapon. I felt the controls were smooth and with the evolving ability system which increases your jump range, ability to glide and even teleport, the only limitations I found as far as movement were my own periodic inability to execute them. The story is decent but the overall experience feels like Halo clone more than a wholly unique experience. This is apparent in the first few seconds of the game when the Dinklage 2.0 appears and you get instant flashbacks to Guilty Spark. It’s a workable way to narrate through a story but I felt more drawn into Halo’s experience having Cortana’s voice whispering in my ear, full humour, emotion and depth as opposed to the monotone sound of Peter Dinklage’s voice. His voice acting is great and this is how the character was meant to be portrayed. But developers should take note that if a gamer will be forced to interact with a character throughout the entire experience, a little bit of depth and emotion goes a long way to make your companion a bit more palatable.
    Now, The Hate: The hype for Destiny spanned back years. We knew it was coming, then delayed but we didn’t care because it just meant they needed more time to make it great. We read how this game was Bungie’s passion project and how it had been in the works for over a decade. An entire universe, ever expanding and evolving which would allow you to go anywhere you want. It was laid out as a game that seemed like it had the potential to never end. Never has something been so far from my expectations as I was stopped in my tracks after only a few months of intermittent game play with nothing left to do. I breezed through the levels and all the while hoped that maybe when I finished the current planet a new one would unlock, but it doesn’t. With only Earth, The Moon and Venus to explore at initially, and then much later on Mars, which are all pseudo open-world and quite small map wise when Bungie’s promises had us expecting something much more expansive is a major let down. At minimum I would expect to be able to explore our Solar System, but this is just a pipe dream. The addition of Mars took so long after I had finished the other 3 planets that I actually had to relearn the controls and try to remember what was happening in the story when I left it months earlier. Now, after completing Mars this game is collecting dust and I’m not sure I’ll care to wait for the next planet given how long it’s been, Destiny at this point is a distant memory. There’s a saying I have “Don’t just talk the talk…be the talk” and Bungie should take note of this. The lack of transparency with the lack of any offline function made me feel cheated as well. I read anything I could get my hand on related to Destiny before its release, never did I read “oh…and there’s no Offline play”. For many this probably won’t matter, but that’s because they live in a world where internet is integrated into their everyday life. I assure you this is not the case with many people. In my case I travel 6 months out of the year for work and take my games on the road with my Gaems Case. I remember the frustration I felt when I bought the game (the ultimate addition which was well over a $100) left for work and that evening put it in only to read “no network connection”. I get that this is supposed to be an MMO type experience, but to not even add a hoard mode like Halo had seems short-sighted. Unless you have internet this game is useless. Lastly, my biggest gripe is the inability to access 100% of the game as many areas require a Fire Team. The Vault of Glass for example. I’m a mostly solo gamer and up for a challenging grind. However you can’t even access the Vault without multiple players controlling these “plates”. The one time I did get in alone due to a glitch that has since been patched, I fought for hours alone and finally made it to the boss, after an epic battle and getting him down to 25% of his health, the network booted me out and I lost my progress. Restarted outside the vault and couldn’t get back in. If you don’t have friends on PSN who want to play the Raids you’re stuck trying to find strangers to help, and no one seems to want to play so while the game quickly leaves you with no storyline to continue until they update with the next planet (if ever) the inability to access parts of the game you haven’t played is a ridiculous tease that just makes me want my money back.

    If Bungie can turn itself around and "Be the talk" I'd be happy to revisit this review.    … Expand

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

Yeah their isn't really a story, but i'm not one for stories in games so if you are remember, this is no story at all. 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. This takes away any challenge and any fun and also contributes to the fact that people say that the game is boring.… Expand

    No matter what Bungie or Activision say - They sold content as DLC "Down Loadable Content" that was already on the disc. Regardless if it lacked place markers or enemies, the bulk of the work was already done. I will never buy another Bungie game after this. You have proven to be cash grabbing liars.

The campaign starts off very strong, but quickly becomes tedious in which every mission is literally the same thing. The story is kinda dull, and introduces new characters in the plot just to serve as DLC packs that would be released at a different time. The final boss is literally the same boss three times, and on top of that, a boss that was encountered earlier in the game. Item drops are completely random and serve no purpose. The cryptarch will decipher a legendary drop into an uncommon or rare drop, which makes absolutely no sense. One redeeming quality of the game is the PvP, which I felt was the best part of the game. It reminded me of all the fun that I used to have when I played the Halo games on the 360. But then again, I didn't pay $60 for a PvP experience. Raids are just a disappointment. Bosses are exactly the same from the campaign missions, and just becomes boring when you literally have to shoot at him for like an half an hour. It's not difficult, it's just boring as hell. Destiny was a game that I felt could have been the first big MMO for consoles, kinda like a WoW for PS4/XB1, but they dropped the ball and no one I know even touches this game anymore. I'd rent it first before paying the full price for this game.… Expand

    Destiny sets out to do something fairly novel for the mainstream console crowd: merge the MMO and FPS genres. That means an assortment of things; open maps interlaced with "dungeons," looting, PVE, squad based combat, etc. And to a degree, Destiny makes it a point to touch upon each pillar of the FPS and MMO genres - pending their compatibility. However, the execution is very...sloppy.Destiny sets out to do something fairly novel for the mainstream console crowd: merge the MMO and FPS genres. That means an assortment of things; open maps interlaced with "dungeons," looting, PVE, squad based combat, etc. And to a degree, Destiny makes it a point to touch upon each pillar of the FPS and MMO genres - pending their compatibility. However, the execution is very...sloppy.

    While traversing each map, it becomes very easy to see what was designated a "sandbox" and which areas were meant to be more linear or predictable for the designers. Many of these areas also appear to serve as opportunities for the console to load the next stage of the map, which is understandable, but there are a few too many that are simply slapped onto the edge of the map - stitched together for the sake of fine tuning. This disjointedness coupled with the excessive use of invisible walls makes the overworld feel artificial. All this to simply say: I either felt the game dropped me into a whole lot of nothing or a set path that I could not stray from. This is why I really didn't feel that compelled to explore. The level design fails to incentivize exploration and as a result reduces the utility of its more open areas, which are too often barren (at the mercy of PVE).

    The missions suffer from one simple, obvious problem: they are all almost identical. The tedium of each mission goes beyond just the mission structure itself, but the constant repetition of a retooled horde mode doesn't fail to take center stage. Almost every mission in the game revolves around baiting you into an enclosed area where you are then required to defend Peter Dinklage from multiple waves of enemies. I know that Bungie has experience with creating horde mode-esque sequences, but it would have been awesome to see them push themselves beyond the rudimentary. The repetition made the game predictable and as a result, I became disinterested. But like I said, it wasn't just the mission structure that caused this...

    From PVE to "dungeons," the combat in this game registers as white noise to me. You aren't required to tackle any enemy in a unique manner, it's either; shoot the enemy, shoot the enemy more or shoot the enemy a lot more. This doesn't come as too much of a surprise as MMO's are notorious for having enemies with obscene amounts of health, but it puts a serious damper on difficulty scaling while playing single player. I found myself either breezing through the game or grinding to a halt as I just waited for an enemy to die. It isn't interesting combat - not AT ALL. It's cheap, poorly thought out and lazy design. This isn't as much of a problem when you're playing with your friends, but even then; having multiple players in a battle doesn't change the dynamic of the fight at all, just how much damage you're dishing out. As with any game, it is FAR more entertaining to play alongside friends, but Destiny fails to capitalize on multiplayer battles in any meaningful way and leaves the job of 'entertaining' to you and your fireteam.

    There're many other issues such as randomized loot drops (most likely implemented to keep less experienced players rewarded in some capacity - in sacrifice of the most basic methods of motivation), poor weapon incentivization (due to a lack of variety in both the weapons themselves and enemy susceptibility) and the complete lack of any narrative or substantial amount of lore (your guess is as good as mine).

    Wether by the senseless repetition of its mission structure, its sloppy level design or its uncompelling combat/loot; Destiny won't fail to disappoint you. Make no mistake, it is - at its core - broken.

    Destiny is one word, disappointing. The story- disappointing. The campaign- hoard mode simulator. Grinding- takes forever to get a single new weapon and the weapon you get does not even depend on the enemy itself.. But, the graphics, music, and the combat is great. But the classes are not diverse, the skill tree doesn't feel diverse, so overall, this game is a let down.

What detracts from the experience is, unfortunately, the core experience. The in-game storytelling is woefully inadequate, and leaves you just not caring about any of the characters or locations. The motivations of the different races is never flushed out, and you end up just running around shooting everything in sight and farting around looking for new skins. That's this game in a nut-shell. Yes Bungie tries to supplement and complete the gaping holes in the story with the online content, but frankly it is a distraction. You must leave the game to figure out what anything is. After a while this game become a dust collector. Once you level up each of the different classes all the way, through an ungodly amount of grinding and replaying mission, it has little to no purpose. This game become hollow and empty rather quickly; after about the first character class play through.

    As I said before though, it's not a bad game! The gunplay and leveling up the different weapons and armors is a lot of fun! Playing with two of your other friends in a fire team is immensely satisfying! The other positive is that Bungie has A TON of DLC and additional content coming! A 10 year plan worth of goodies. That is a definite win.

    Speaking of the DLC, it needs to improve a little. A lot of love and thought went into cool weapons and clothing options for the Dark below, but my god the additional missions were a joke. They were short, unfulfilling, and could be completed in less than an hour. Step up Bungie/Activision.

    In short, a fun twitch shooter with lots of loot to collect, but lacks any real substance to keep you playing solo. Not a bad buy, just temper your expectations and have dedicated friends to play with. Wait until the price drops to around 20-30 dollars, and then get the DLC, you will feel like you got exactly what you paid for.    … Expand

    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.

    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.

This game had huge potential to be amazing, but between the obvious piece by piece business model, lack of engaging story or characters, lack interesting game play (excluding pvp) and lack good level design (again, excluding pvp), Destiny is a mess that i don't plan to pay to have cleaned up.

    For the good, I will say the soundtrack outshines that game play. It makes the boss battles feel somewhat epic. That is saying something since the actual game play usually is anything but. This is not to say they were bad, just predictable and repetitive. Other highlights are that the visuals are beautiful and the planets are well detailed, despite how linear they are. And finally the variety of weapons and armor adds an exiting layer to the shooter PVP aspect. On that note, PVP is fun, if an only if you work to get the gear to actually stand a chance.

    For the bad, the story is atrocious. There is little back story, little explanation to any character's relevance, and little cohesive structure. Ideas are mentioned and dropped and focus seems to shift abruptly. The worlds amount to a circle with the individual segments being linear. All of the objectives in the story are the same: fight off X race while your ghost does Y task or fight X boss while it throws minions at you. The leveling of the gear is tedious and any leveling for the crucible, vanguard or any faction is tedious as well.

    A special note needs to be said about the business model. Supposedly there is a 10 year contract between Activision and Bungie. One must question how much of the game was intentionally left out to be strung along versus how much upcoming DLC will be legitimately new (I am under the impression much of The Dark Below was withheld content.) In either case, Destiny is a fundamentally flawed empty shell on launch and any business model that strives to fill in the gaps of the original product with future products is not one I can condone. I do realize Destiny is the highest budgeted game ever; but that does make it right for Activision to adopt that model. Yes, games are expensive to develop and I fully understand DLC is needed for publishers to recoup the money; but by going this model, integrity is lost and hurts more than helps. If a game is legitimately good, people will buy it, DLC and all. If a game is marginal, you get shady forms of DLC and game editions. The problem is people will still buy it, enabling this practice. Destiny could have been phenomenal with some tweaks of the fundamental game play. I don't think this is anything any amount of DLC can rectify though. I for one don't plan to pay to find out.    … Expand

    This game had the most potential of 2014. It also was 2014's biggest mistakes in gaming and has made me lose faith in Bungie as a company and game developer. I really wanted to like this game but it's impossible between the repetitiveness, boring multiplayer, and barebones story.

It also was 2014's biggest mistakes in gaming and has made me lose faith in Bungie as a company and game developer. I really wanted to like this game but it's impossible between the repetitiveness, boring multiplayer, and barebones story. This game does not push any boundaries, it holds back content to be sold as DLC, and end game consists of either playing through missions you have done numerous times already, playing one of the two raids (yes there are only two raids in this game, which is unacceptable especially considering what Bungie was promising and hyping to its fans,) and lastly there is the (boring) multiplayer.

    I get the appeal of Destiny to the younger crowd as kids can practically do the same thing over and over without missing beat and I'm pretty sure the entire fanbase of Destiny consists of tweens. If you were born in the 20th century though chances are you, like me, cannot be bothered to play through a game that makes *everything* a chore. That's exactly how I would describe this game: a chore.

    While do admit there is fun to be had if you play with friends (you have fun with friends regardless,) the single player aspect of this game is just horrible. The story? I can summarize it all in a sentence. You get awoken from a deep sleep in the middle of nowhere by a Dinklebot, you get attacked by generic sci-fi alien race, you go to generic sci-fi homeworld, you meet generic sci-fi wise old guy, you get sent on a generic quest across the galaxy for... what exactly? And why?? I seriously don't know... I've played through the "story" on 3 characters already and I still don't know what the story is to be honest. There is literally only 4 characters in this game and NONE of them are memorable: Old Guy at Tower, Robot Chick that Stalks You, The Queen and her dick brother.

    So you ask why my review is negative? This game deserves no merits or praise as it's just another disappointment of 2014. Trust me on this one, don't waste your money or your time. I    … Expand

    This game is mediocre, nothing more, nothing less. The story goes in the famously bad area with Sharknado and Twilight. Gameplay is by far the best part of the game and earns 4 out of the 5 points I'm giving it. Graphics are pretty good, but nothing special. Bosses are a prime example of bullet sponges. Biggest dissapointment of 2014.

    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]
