    First off I think this game is amazing. It's outrageously addicting. I think all the bad review are just from people who don't enjoy fps like this. It truly is a great game and one to remember. Must have

    Although not a traditional MMO its loads of fun with your buddies. DO NO TRY TO PLAY THIS ALONE OR SOLO YOU WILL GET BORED FAST. But if you can get a group of friends its an amazing game.

    I was never a Halo kind or really big into shooters, but Destiny has me hooked. I can't say I have the complaint of not enough content. Patrol missions are a lot of fun and can be challenging. The Crucible, while brutal for lower levels, has to be the most fun I've had with a game in a while.

    Destiny is not really the revolutionary FPS we were waiting for, but it is still a good one.Destiny is a massive and extremely polished MMOFPS that really satisfies a lot of my gaming desires.. The shooting feels very "Halo" and the RPG customization is definitely there. Fighting can be tactical and hectic, but never truly unfair.

    First hour or two hours should be thrown away from the game - they are waste. Everything after this is just an awesome combination of proper shooting mechanic (Halo-like, but not kind) and MMO elements.

    No. It does not suck.

    Even if you dont like it, it isnt justified to give this game a 0/10. I also think, that the content isnt enough and the voice chat is missing but the gameplay is fun and the look is amazing. I would rate it 8/10, but since i want to balance out the missleading score i go for 10/10.

    Loads of fun, decent ramp-up, a whole new universe of gaming goodness. Not sure what the hate is about with the zeros...maybe people are looking for a religion instead of a really fun, immersive experience. Get over your issues boys and girls; it's awesome.

    This is an exellent online experience. Shooter mechanic is great. It is very easy to understand and play, not like usual MMOs where you need to learn a lot how to play.Just try it - and better with friends - and you will get it.

    I like this game. It is not what I or anyone else expected, but it is still a very good game. The missions are a bit linear and not as open as one would expect, but the game is fun to play and multiplayer is really fun. Reminds me of the old Unreal Tournament. Big open world, not huge as it was said. Very good skill system and loot. Lots of weapons and armour that make you look bad-ass. DoI like this game.

    Ignore the people who say that the game is **** just because you can't play offline, these games are supposed to played online, if you enjoy Halo, then this is the type of game you should play i think the best parts of the game are the multiplayer and boosfighting feature, although allot of games have that feature, this game is abit more awesome. Its a new breed of FPS. Anyways, it's awesome!!!

    This is the same thing that happened to GTA V. People dont like hype for some reason and like to see great games fall. This game is nothing short of spectacular. DO NOT use metacritics for this point in time. Give it about a week and the score will go up. Just so many Douches these days thay feel like spamming the reviews.

    Fantastic game. Most of the reviews giving 0-3 stars are for ridiculously petty reasons. Voice chat being limited, so the whole game sucks? Come on now.

    The game plays like a mix of Borderlands and Halo, two fantastic games in thier own styles and meshes together VERY well. The game is setup with a home base where you handle alot of your RPG elements of the game, then you drop down to    Fantastic game.

The game is setup with a home base where you handle alot of your RPG elements of the game, then you drop down to the various planets to continue the story, do bounties or the other various tasks they have in the game.

    The loot system is pretty standard for an RPG with that addition of locked attritubtes that you can unlock by upgrading the gear. You use items you find while playing to upgrade the gear so combat is rewarding for more than just exp.

    Yes, there are a limit amount of gun TYPES, but that doesnt mean there are a limited amount of guns. I used a sniper playing as a Hunter and I have 3 rifles that all act in dramtically different ways.

    The story I feel is eclipsed by the gameplay itself. The game as definitely made with long term play in mind, and the story more gives you a frame of reference but its not so linear that its all you are doing.

    I give this a 10/10 because it hit all the criteria i was lookign for in a next gen MMO RPG. There are things i would like to see, and that i expect to see in the coming patches/expansions, but even as it sits currently its a great game with a great future.    … Expand

    I don't understand why so many people are mad about the poor story line in the game. The story is nothing to write home about, but at the same time I feel like they did it just right.The lore of the world is there if you want to find it, but otherwise the focus is entirely on the game-play. There isn't some complicated nonsense being shoved down your throat at all times so you can focus on what a video game should be about, the gameplay.

    The shooting mechanics are spot on, although the missions will get repetitive. There is mainly one type of mission... Go to this point, deploy ghost, fight off enemy waves. And as for the end game, if you are not a fan of grinding the same instances for gear DO NOT buy this game or you will not have fun (unless the competitive multiplayer interests you of course).

    Pros: Beautiful game, great shooting mechanics (That is what the game is all about of course) and awesome loot system.

    Cons: Lack of character development, HORRID loading times, Tons of grinding and a disappointingly short story campaign (needs more planets).

    Overall I would give this game an 7/10. It is a good game, but it has its issues. Everyone who calls this out as over-hyped obviously knows nothing about marketing for a company... I would say that after more content has been released the reviews and opinions for this game will change. As of right now, Destiny is a solid foundation that needs some building on before it will be what it strives to be.

    PS: I rated the game a 7/10 but gave it a 10/10 on the site simply to spite of all the negative reviews that lack any sense of constructive criticism.    … Expand

    Short version of this is the game is great and might start off slow but picks up and gets even better the further you go. It's a great game and even better when playing with 1 or 2 friends. (note if you play with 3 people make sure to pick the harder difficulty on missions. or else it does seem easy)

    This game is amazing and is especially amazing when playing with friends. Played the beta nonstop while it was out and still I'm having fun while playing the same spots now.

    The beta was basically the early levels of Earth. They left nothing out so the first hours of the game are going to be the same if you played the beta. But the game is a lot of fun and can't wait to get to the end game content. currently level 14 and on the moon. still have 2 unexplored planets, and a lot of stuff that i need to unlock and upgrade.

    So far I've played for 15 hours and some was just collecting money and finding remaining ghosts that are hidden around the maps. The people who played the first 3-5 hours and are complaining that the game sucks obviously didn't play the beta which would of let them know if they would like the game.

    Also the petty reasons they gave a low score are astounding. No voice chat? that can be patched in later if people really want it.. Lacking in guns? well there aren't a billion weapons while you are leveling up and there might be in endgame 3-4 guns in each category that are BiS doesn't mean that the game sucks xD. I've gone through tons of guns before I find the type I like. its like borderlands where there are different brands of a semi-auto rifle and each has a different balance to it. one like jacobs has high impact (damage) but lower magazine and more recoil and slower fire rate. different elements on the guns also change the gun as well.

    And while the abilities are lacking in variety per subclass you get two per class at this time. So switching back and forth will also change up your gameplay.

    So far me and my friends are having a blast playing and i cant wait to get back into the pvp once i hit 20. And cant wait to play the end game.    … Expand

    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]
