    I waited a year before i bought this so i would have the extra dlc with it and it (in my opinion) is still an empty game. the pros: The gameplay is fun for a few hours and then it gets stale, if you like the combat in halo then you will like the combat in this but this drags on and i mean grinding away on. The graphics are excellent aswell. The soundtrack is pretty good also. the cons:I waited a year before i bought this so i would have the extra dlc with it and it (in my opinion) is still an empty game. the pros: The gameplay is fun for a few hours and then it gets stale, if you like the combat in halo then you will like the combat in this but this drags on and i mean grinding away on.

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

The only story options force you out of the game, and require you to go Bungie's website to get backstory, and that is not done in MMO's! All backstory should be done in game by NPC's!

    Destiny is one of the most bland and over hyped shooters I have ever played. This games story is an absolute joke and a major disappointment.

Most of my time spent walking around it's meaningless environments I can't help but think that this is some kinda of beta and the actual game with content will release soon. The only hint of a story line is the ghost character that narrates along with some of the most boring gameplay I have experienced.

    Gameplay is simply run to point A kill people, run to point B kill people and then fight a boss at C to magically and abruptly finish literally each and every mission. The repetition is so awful and each planet feels like a firing range scattered with bad guys who respawn in the same spots every few minutes. The gameplay is extremely uninspiring it could infact be the ultimate cliche of shooters since there inception. I can't understand how Bungie could release such a lame duck when compared to their previous Halo Franchise.

    AI behavior is laughably brain dead and the only reason they pose a challenge is due to the number of enemies thrown your way or the amount of health the stronger types have. The only reason to ever play this game is to equip your character with better gear. Be prepared to repetitively play the same dull scenarios over and over just to get a better item. If killing the same enemies for hours to get a new gear piece is your idea of fun then you will be at home. The competitive multiplayer is the games saving grace but once again it is nothing to write home about. Everything in competitive multiplayer has been done to death as it offers nothing new to the table and I'm sure most players will put it down once that new game sensation wears off.

    Overall Destiny is a pathetic cash crab by Bungie in my opinion. I would be the first person to sing this games praises if actually was a real game. However as of now this game is an absolute joke and easily one of the worst games I have ever played.    … Expand

    BLUF: "I don't have time to explain" is a quote from the game during a so-called story moment in a cut-scene. My low opinion: There is no actual storytelling in the game, so the excellent visuals and good gun-play mechanics mean nothing as you cannot emotionally invest yourself in a world which doesn't care to ever explain.... ANYTHING.

    it's always full to look at the profiles of people scoring this 10/10, most of them seem to have a singular review, for this game in particular - nothing suspect about that. Destiny is the prime example of what happens when business men try to play pretend as creatives, spending more on marketing than actual product and think that terrible one-liners equals good gameplay.

    Destiny is the biggest rip-off on the ps4 yet. It features just 4 planets with a single 'level' each to explore. Missions on a planet all take place in the same area and consist of 'go from a to b and deploy a ghost, kill everything that lives' and the mission's done. Weapons don't feel as if they had an impact and your skills are a joke from the angle of originality. Once you hit level 20Destiny is the biggest rip-off on the ps4 yet.

Weapons don't feel as if they had an impact and your skills are a joke from the angle of originality. Once you hit level 20 levelling works by the 'light'-stat of found gear instead of XP gained, which makes gear choices very obvious (take the new gear and level to even get the chance to find better gear, no matter what its ability is). A story doesn't exist at all, apart from 2 (or 3) low quality cutscenes there isn't one. Not to mention the lack of any memorable character in the game, maybe the ghost itself might be highlight...

    Going to PvP, the sentence 'become legend' really becomes a fraud: No long-term stats, no PvP-leaderboards, not even something to achieve or unlock there. Not even statstics of your own game. Bungie, are you freaking kidding us?

    No matter from what perspective, Destiny didn't deliver and suffers from a huge lack of content. Greatest job Bungie did was the marketing.

    Don't get me wrong; especially because I love shooters as well as sci-fi this game screwed up on a massive scale. Shame on Bungie, this will definitely leave a scar. Maybe the game was a 5/10 if not sold for 70 bucks and having been announced a milestone by Bungie itself...    … Expand

It's not a fully-fleshed massively muliplayer game, nor is it an impressive single player game. Destiny feels like a game that's lost, never staking its claim and finding its own place. I find that it often feels unfocused, like Bungie set out to do many things and didn't excel at one of them. It's a hollow game, lacking life, lacking feeling. The online interaction is limited compared to contemporary massively multiplayer games, and the story is blander than two-week old white bread.… Expand

    Where to start off... I have spent the last 2.5 weeks playing this game SOLO (only using matchmaking and playing with randoms without having a mic) every single day, doing most bounties, getting to lvl 28, getting a bunch of exotic weapons, done everything in the game except for the raid (DeeJ, you can do everything in the game, it doesn't have endless content).

I have spent the last 2.5 weeks playing this game SOLO (only using matchmaking and playing with randoms without having a mic) every single day, doing most bounties, getting to lvl 28, getting a bunch of exotic weapons, done everything in the game except for the raid (DeeJ, you can do everything in the game, it doesn't have endless content).

    In my minds it's an FPS with MMORPG elements, making it a hybrid of the two, but mostly being an FPS where you do the same stuff over and over to get better and better, where you will hopefully enjoy the game more and more as you get better at it and figuring out stuff. But after figuring out most tricks, you'll get constantly annoyed at the ridiculous AI, sudden appearance of enemies because of the absolutely terrible FOV and getting randomly killed by the classic modern way of doing position tracing, where the enemies will always hit you if you go at the same speed all the time. Even when you're doing lots of random actions which should avoid all of it. (The Shock Rifle is the dumbest weapon ever to be given to an AI)

    You can tip-toe through a lot of the missions by running away from the battle, into "safe-zones" while being in a "darkness zone". But then you have the absolutely horrible way of dealing with those places in the Strikes. The game spawns additional enemies to "take care of you" if you go outside of the designated room, which should be closed from the start. The best example of this not working is in the strike "The Nexus". The trick here is, you can stay up on the tall ledge and snipe all the minotaurs to spawn the boss. While doing that, a SINGLE major minotaur will spawn behind you. Which spawns every 20-30 seconds, being easy even when doing the weekly heroic strike on lvl 28 solo. Then you can just stay up there, using a scout rifle, picking up the ammo you eventually get from that minotaur and complete the strike EASILY with a lot of skulls. This also comes up in the story mission "Scourge of Winter", where you can avoid fighting the boss in the end by just simply using a few sniper bullets to the head, then walk in, which causes the door to shut, which then causes all the enemies to get killed because the boss is dead. Easy peasy. The QA of these parts feels non-existant.

    Speaking of the "story". As a frequent MMORPG and FPS player, I don't care about the story in those, unless there's something really interesting in a cutscene of some sort, then I'll NOT skip it. In this game, with absolutely no interesting story, no attempt at character personality development, Dinklbot saying stuff that doesn't make sense, out of context or is just a general blablabla of how every generic sci-fi story is made, I CAN'T SKIP THOSE. AT ALL. Not only did Bungie not even attempt a story, they are pushing the boring-ass cutscenes down your throat. That's unnecessary downtime. Having to wait for a useless cutscene when doing the same mission for the 3rd time the same day is not fun. Time is valuable.

    Now moving on to the core of the FPS. The weaponry. All the guns, make the same noise. They're all the same. They feel all the same. The stats and descriptions usually don't match the actual handling of the weapon. Which wants me on to the worst part of Destiny.

    Crucible. "Level advantages disabled". My ass. Not saying that the PvP is easy, but damn it's easy... IF you're owning legendary and exotic gear and weapons that supercharge the super, the weapons and everything. Why aren't those disabled? All of the perks you have, why are those enabled? Shouldn't those be classified as "level advantages" as you can't use exotic/most legendary gear before you reach lvl 20? Not like it's difficult to get to lvl 20, but it IS time consuming to get the gear.

    Also I want to mention the amazing PvP experience.

    Shoot someone until they die, but doesn't, then you trade kills even though you had a lot of health remaining, then you get the message that you got a kill 3 seconds later, then the game is stuck at respawning for 5 seconds with no explanation to why, then you see an enemy with a super, then you immediately die.

    That's all of the bad stuff about PvP compressed into one sentence. The amount of lag is ridiculous. Battlefield got bad lag, but this just takes the cake. Congrats Bungie, you somehow made trading kills the most common thing in this game across all games. Do people enjoy that? I really don't think so.

    And the expansions. No they're not expansions as they don't expand the game with entirely new areas. Ridiculous. They're just two mediocre DLC.

    For some praise to the game. The concept of "Destiny" is great, just poorly executed. The Exo design is quite nice. Bounties, patrol missions, public events are also great.

    To sum up. This entire game has been an annoyance and a continuous grind most of the time, which makes me wonder why I played it this much.

    The enemies are almost cut and paste enemies from halo, just with a different model. Don't kid yourself, they're all the same, the react the same, they do the same things. The multiplayer is very dull and the load times give you plenty of time to go make a sandwich. They're worse than television commercials. Travelling to the Tower is the worst, since it's needed to go there often to deal with gear and vendoring, missions, etc. Alot of this could have been achieved through a menu system rather than making the masses sit through loading screen after loading screen.
    The world feels dead. It is not an mmo by any means. It feels very forced and unnecessary, the experience would have been better in a Monster Hunter style. Have a hub, space travel load screens (rather than having the home screen being your ship floating through space, which wastes time just to have the "aw shiny, and look at my friend's shiny ships"), have more interesting enemies that have actual hard mechanics and movements, etc.
    The pvp is also very drab. It's very cookie cutter with the added "hey i can also casts spells". The experience is more or less a downgraded halo experience. I'd rather have an actual arena shooter than a COD style shooter.
    Overall, this game is a wash and I only own it because I wanted a shiny white PS4 (would never have bought it otherwise, given the history and overhype behind it).

    Terribly bland rinse and repeat missions, dumb enemies that take little skill to figure out how to defeat. So if I get in trouble in a battle, literally all I have to do is start running around in a circle and the enemy will never kill me and my shields will regenerate. Riiiiight... Voice acting not good. The story? What story? Unbelievable how little they do to get you feeling emotionallyTerribly bland rinse and repeat missions, dumb enemies that take little skill to figure out how to defeat. So if I get in trouble in a battle, literally all I have to do is start running around in a circle and the enemy will never kill me and my shields will regenerate. Riiiiight... Voice acting not good. The story? What story? Unbelievable how little they do to get you feeling emotionally invested in the game. If I don't even know for what/why I am fighting - then why do I care? The loot stinks, gun variety is lame. The Crucible/PVP is awful - one shot kills by everyone, dead feeling maps, uneven equipment (yes I know it's leveled but there are still advantages...).Grind grind grind. Patrol missions? The most God awful boringness imaginable.
    OK. There's some of my gripes. There are a few positives. The actual game mechanics are pretty smooth, nice FPS - although I feel it's worse in the crucible - could be wrong. The graphics are nice, music is good. There is SOME fun to be had - I've enjoyed strikes to an extent. Certainly not enough fun to pay $60 + DLC costs though.
    In reality, this game is probably closer to a 6 or a 6.5 / 10 than the 3 I am giving it. HOWEVER, I feel like Bungie/Activision has planted multiple fake users on Metacritic that are giving this game 9s and 10s so I am trying to level that out. Many positive reviews look canned and not from the heart - I don't believe they are real people with their real opinion. GRANTED, this is just MY opinion, but look at all the 9s and 10s - something is fishy... And the game is not a 10/10. It's just not. Regardless of whether you have fun playing it. This game is a cash grab, and I feel kind of ashamed that I fell for it...    … Expand

    very short campaign for an MMO, Borderlands does not compare to the halo, too bad to play on a joystick, game I put a lot of expectations on this game expecting a new halo was no more anything.

    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]
