    I also love being able to run into players during my campaign. LOVE IT. So fun especially during hard missions. I'm having a ton of fun so far and will be playing this for a long time despite the nitpicks. Buy it, have fun and then sell it if you want, but you should play it.    … Expand

    Era chiaro che sarebbe stato molto difficile per Bungie riuscire a tenere fede alle enormi aspettative che si erano create intorno a questa nuovo titolo. Diciamolo: Destiny non può essere definito un capolavoro: si tratta di un bel primo passo verso il futuro del gaming, ma la strada è ancora lunga. Il comparto artistico, grafico e sonoro è di prim'ordine: 30 FPS granitici e 1080p su entrambe le console con scorci grafici talvolta da urlo. Lo shooting è solidissimo, fluido ed appagante, in pieno stile Bungie. il titolo mostra però il fianco su alcuni di quelli che dovevano essere i suoi punti di forza: la trama è inesistente, senza alcun momento epico, plot twist o personaggi memorabili. Le missioni principali sono tutte uguali come struttura, la varietà dei nemici è ridotta a meno di una decina di tipologie. La componente MMO latita a causa della limitazione a gruppi di 3 della modalità cooperativa, mentre la componente RPG funziona solo a metà, lasciando una forte sensazione di incompletezza. Il PvP è di ottima fattura, ma errori e crash continui flagellano l'esperienza e, finchè non saranno risolti, di fatto escluderanno molti giocatori dalle sezioni del crogiolo. Destiny appare insomma come un contenitore semivuoto, che Bungie potrà e dovrà riempire periodicamente con nuovi contenuti. Se il lavoro di supporto riuscirà a portare sufficienti novità, il titolo potrà regalare molte ore di divertimento. Ma non lasciatevi ingannare dal fantastico filmato introduttivo: se è una storia epica che state cercando, non la troverete di certo qui.

    I can't give anything less than an 8 to a game I am enjoying so much. Firstly, I'd like to acknowledge that the game is supposed to be supported for a long cycle and therefore still has a lot of growing to do. With that said thus far I really love the gameplay, the loot aspects, the rpg elements, the world-building and the customisation.

    However, I am finding a lack of story. If you    I can't give anything less than an 8 to a game I am enjoying so much. Firstly, I'd like to acknowledge that the game is supposed to be supported for a long cycle and therefore still has a lot of growing to do. With that said thus far I really love the gameplay, the loot aspects, the rpg elements, the world-building and the customisation.

    However, I am finding a lack of story. If you actually take the time to get the companion app and read the Grimoire cards then it all gets fleshed out a lot, which did make me wonder why all of this content was not put to greater use throughout the "story" aspect of the game.

    I have found that I have really been drawn to the competitive and co-op aspects of the game to such a degree that I actually dislike doing anything alone, which sounds bad but as someone who usually insists on playing alone, this is an indication of just how fun Bungie has made playing Destiny with others.

    I am really interested to see how they build on this fun and solid foundation in the coming few months and maybe years. I just hope they can bring the story to life a little more so I can really care about the characters and the world.

    The online aspects really shine through for me. I love playing with others on strike missions and these missions are seriously tough which is really refreshing. The Crucible has also been great fun for me and really gets the adrenaline pumping. I am very new to the PvP area though and I appreciate that the character I play without outside the Crucible - with his guns and skills - is the same one I take into each fight.

    This means I don't have to fiddle with loadouts and what not and I can see what works and what doesn't and what I need to practice outside of the Crucible. I can also see what guns people own me with and try and get my hands on those bad boys.

    So all in all:
    - the game is really beautiful and probably the best world I have seen brought to life in a game (on Ps4 at least);
    - the gameplay is really fun and the game systems (loot, co-op, PvP) have kept me addicted;
    - difficulty wise the game is a real challenge and can be as much or as little challenge as needed;
    - the story is fairly disappointing.

    I would definitely recommend. We may all get to see how a gaming world grows over a span of years, which would be truly groundbreaking stuff.    … Expand

    Is Destiny Fun? Yes
    Is Destiny the recreation of Halo changing the Gaming world as we know it? Nope
    Is it worth my 60? I think so.

    It is a solid shooter that brings many good hours of game play with friends and mixes it up the FPS which are out there for PS4. It is Enjoyible, not perfect but worth the cost of the entry.

    Bungie made a great effort with delivering a technical scaffolding. The story elements could have been much more.

I'm pretty sure a Grimoire is a witches spell book. I found a soccer ball on the tower level. Thinking about that makes me wonder about how hard it would have been to enable a conversation system similar to Elders' Scrolls.

    Most of the game's functions are confusing. I leveled up one of the factions to level 2 without realizing it. I actual had no clue how to obtain the various currency without internet research. By the way you can't trade anything. You can't see anything. You can only dismantle things. You can't dismantle extra space ships or jet bikes. There are no weapons on the ships or bikes.

I was captivated for a very long time in becoming the best out of everybody on my friends list and I achieved that with my two level 30 Warlocks. Yes, the story does suck which is why I'm giving it an 8 instead of a 10, but the gameplay is amazing. The raids, especially on hard mode, are very entertaining and require as much skill and team work as possible. It's sad to see so many bad reviews for such a damn incredible game.

    The multiplayer is phenomenal. It is just simply incredible. One of the best console multiplayers I have ever played. Bungie did a great job with the maps and balancing out skills, characters, and levels so that everybody has a chance to compete.

    After acquiring almost every exotic in the game I have finally weened off of Destiny and starting venturing out to play other games. I still think I am going to come back for the expansion pack, though, because I don't think I have ever been so attached to a game in my life. The communication with other players is wonderful and I have met a lot of good friends through Destiny.

The game has 28 missions which take a while to beat and then you'll want to beat again with a better challenge and to get more loot. Compare that to another shooter like Metro that get's review scores of 8-8.5 from users and critics and it really makes the game look bad even though a game like Metro has less content when you think about because it's just missions. Sure the story isn't great either but does story really matter in a game these days? When was the last time you really cared about story when playing a shooter MMO? Most people just go in for the side quests or progress so they can get better bosses to get better loot off of them. People came in with to many expectations for it. So by no means is it a bad and it doesn't deserve a bad score. It's a great game that you can either enjoy or not like. I've had a recent experience like this with GTA Online. Everyone loves it but my experience is a 5-6/10 but it really isn't 5-6. It's great and deserves 8. I'm gonna stop ranting now and give my actual thoughts about the game. If you couldn't tell I've been enjoying it a lot. Teaming up with friends in a video game hasn't been this fun for since Black Ops 1 Zombies for me. Unfortunately I can't say the same for those who don't have friends which unfortunately is a lot of people and I know because I tried playing by myself. I felt like missions just became a bit to challenging and not in a good way. It could boring and frustrating at some points. Difficulty level should change if playing solo or playing with friends. Also like I said the story really isn't to good. It feels like there isn't any at all. It felt like a chapter of something bigger and it didn't even feel like there was a protagonist. There were just bosses you could take it. At some point you may think "Why am I fighting these guys? What did they do to me?" The enemy has no character which is a big problem. However I still found the missions to be fun. I enjoyed the strike missions a lot but I do feel like they could have added more also give out more rewards for doing them. The reward system in my opinion isn't so great. You could go through a strike or mission and get no engrams and rare loot that is below your level and you'll just ask yourself "What was the point of that?" The reward system is especially terrible in crucible. You could be the best player on your team and those under you will get legendary loot. It's flat out unfair and annoying. However that doesn't mean it isn't fun. Crucible is one of the most fun modes in the game and plays a big role when getting faction legendary gear which you may be better off with than trying to get legendary engrams. So to conclude the review Destiny is not as bad as people say it is. It can be annoying yes and maybe not enjoyable but the game play is very fun and addicting and you can spend hours upon hours on it and in the end of the day how you enjoy a game could make it not matter if the story is bad or short. If you have fun then it's a good game.… Expand

Solid game-play mechanics makes it a competitive, skill based shooter. Destiny would rank among the greats of all time if it hadn't fell short on some major themes. First, and foremost- communication. It's absolutely ridiculous you cannot voice chat with the Guardians around you. I often feel alone, even when surrounded by others. Second, the story line is sub-par at best. Stereotypical writing, and no major surprises along the way. I'm currently level 20, and I still have no idea what I am, who I am, and why I'm doing what I'm doing. I want to have some emotional reactions to characters, but it just never meets the mark. Third, and my final complaint is the repetitive nature of the mission. Ghost scans something, you fight off hordes. However, these are things that can easily be fixed in future updates, and i look forward to that happening. This is by far the best console game of the next generation. Had Bungie implemented a legit chat system, this game would have been a solid 9.5. However, it's enjoyable as it's stands and I've gotten my 60 dollars worth in the first 3 days alone.

You have to know what you're getting involved in before making a purchase and then whining because it wasnt what you thought. This game is very ambitious and given about 2 years will be quite a fun game due to patches and various updates. The graphics are on par with old gen style Borderlands which isnt a bad thing. The story is eh, but give it time, Bungie is just getting our feet wet. The gameplay is where Destiny shines. Fun and challenging strikes, raids, and pvp will easily keep this game afloat even with the thousands of people trying to pull it down. Sadly there is no chat box option to communicate, which is ridiculous. Every game from now on needs to have a world chat regardless of the game. And where is the voice chatting when matched with randoms? The things they left out of this game are mindless, stupid errors. But they are fixable issues though. Which is Destiny's issue at this point. Mindless errors are randomly plagued all over Destiny's landscape, but in time this will easily be one of the most enjoyable games of 2015.… Expand

    After having over 20 hours in destiny, i can safely say that it is a really good game, the gameplay is very refined, the story may not be very good and it was definitely overhyped.

After awhile of play, lack of content starts to show. Repetitive mission design and awful story don't help either.

It's a fun, entertaining experience with enough content to keep you interested for a long amount of time. Those looking for the next big change in gaming history like some people were honestly expecting should look elsewhere.
    In Destiny, you're basically a "Guardian" that's tasked with defending the world against the enemies of the "Traveller," a planet that arrived and bought prosperity to the human race or something like that. The darkness arrived and basically destroyed everything, and you are there with your trusty Ghost to save what's left. The story is quite underwhelming and poorly explained. Other than Peter Dinklage's good voice acting telling you "See this place? It used to be awesome...shame..." you really get little explanation as to what happened and why you should care.
    The overall presentation is good, with shiny visuals and great music. There aren't that many locations at launch, but each location is full of stuff to do. There's a good attention to detail here, and it feels like a very polished experience.
    The gameplay is loot-driven as you constantly get new weapons and gear and swap out to see which ones you like. Enemies level up as you do and you'll need to use your abilities to survive. The game is challenging at points, but the gunplay is smooth and the enemies are varied in different locations. Upgrading my character with new gear and abilities was very engaging, particularly when the character creation made me able to create a pretty accurate (but more badass) version of myself. The overall game makes you feel like a badass when you're playing it, so if you want that then this is for you.
    The online multiplayer is descent enough, though nothing that interesting in my opinion. It's from the creators of Halo so if that's what you'll like then that's what you'll get. The idea of weapons you've found from your adventures being used in PvP sounds good, but it makes it really unbalanced at points. It's not bad as I'm having a lot of fun with it, it's just not that amazing or revolutionary.
    Being only 30FPS, it's a surprisingly smooth,game, and the controls are descent and make sense. I have yet to run into any glitches either and, whenever I die, I feel it's because of me and not because I feel cheated by the game. You know that feeling. Even in multiplayer, it passes the blame more onto that guy with the OP weapon way better than mine than the game itself.
    Like I had said, though, the game is very fun and above all else that is what should matter. It plays well, it has enough content to last a while from launch and the customisation is in-depth and engaging. I've been having great fun playing the game and can't wait to play more. If fun is what you're looking for, then this is the game for you. If you're looking for "more than a game" or all these other BS taglines that have been associated with this product then you will be disappointed. It's a fun and engaging game, no more and no less.    … Expand

    Destiny is not my favorite FPS but if you can manage to get over its small learning curve it opens up to be an expansive and immerse game. Destiny is an always online game and you should know this before picking up the game. This game is not for CoD and Halo fans in particular, it is a next gen IP with unique gameplay that plays more like an MMORPG than a simple shoot and run game.

This game is not for CoD and Halo fans in particular, it is a next gen IP with unique gameplay that plays more like an MMORPG than a simple shoot and run game. If you are looking for an original FPS experience that is separate from any other FPS you have played I would recommend this game to you. The game suffers from the lack of communication with players, and the AI are ok but not great.

    Despite the mixed reviews if you get the game you need to be open minded and not expect the game to feel familiar like many of the other FPS games you have played. It is a next generation shooter that offers lots of content. It does have a grinding aspect to it which is not common in console shooters but if you manage to get yourself past that it is a fresh next generation experience.    … Expand

    Destiny took a while to get into but once you start you get immersed in a well detailed and fun world. The campaign was average at best, mostly repetitive shooting down things, walk around, shoot more things down and keeping walking around in a painfully linear world.

Multiplayer is horribly balanced, level 1s can be put against level 30s BUT once you get leveled up it is insanely fun. What destiny lacks for in some areas it makes up for in others.… Expand

    First off, the basis for me giving it a good score was mainly because the gameplay is spectacularly smooth and since launch I've been able to play with no problems. Now I know not everyones experience may have been as smooth as mine but the majority of people had no issues and best part, no server crashs at launch so all the haters actually got to play before hating right away.

Now I know not everyones experience may have been as smooth as mine but the majority of people had no issues and best part, no server crashs at launch so all the haters actually got to play before hating right away. One of my biggest gripes in todays games is developers releasing games full of problems and yet some people want to make excuses for them(i.e. BF4) but Destiny works well and the shooting mechanics works beautifully.

    The reason I didn't give it a 9 or higher was because, yes it does get kind of bland. They put in parts of halo, borderlands. MMO aspect, and multiplayer but each thing seems to be missing some features that would have made this game really stand out. Doesn't mean the game isn't fun and most of the complaints have been from people that I guess weren't expecting to shoot so many things in FPS but if your actually looking for a FPS game and know what a FPS is, then this game will deliver especially when your playing with friends. Lastly, this game is by far not bad enough to be given a 0 score. The haters giving it a 0 are just that, haters. There's no game that really deserves a 0 and this game is one of them. Bungie has released more content for this game for free in a matter of weeks which shows you that they are working on supporting this game and actually have a plan so that they can release content in a timely manner.

    Overall, I think the game is an 8 for the solid gameplay. Yes there are parts that could have had more stuff added to them but in the end if your nitpicking every part of the game then you actually realize how fun it is especially if you go back to buggy games like CoD and BF4 and then come to this then you'll see what I mean.    … Expand

    I've tried liking this game so much, I keep coming back to it to try and work out why some many people rave about it. But simply it's just a crappy average game.

    Meanwhile Destiny is fantastic in some aspects, the gameplays is precise and has it's own identity, so you'll not play "Call of Duty" or "Battlefield" game only with a "different skin", you'll play Destiny with it's own identity, the gameplay is fluid to, the physics are great, even when you jump, as it was in Halo, you have the gravity influence that transmits the feeling of the space, which is great to. The graphics are true next-gen, so gorgeous and so well made that combines perfectly with a well made level design.

    Conclusion: Maybe Destiny (as a lot of other games) couldn't reach the level that it was promessing, that's why we see bunch of negative reviews, but it stills a fun and great RPG.    … Expand

    Seriously, the people who gave this game bad scores need some friends to play with. This game is a cross between Halo and Borderlands, with a smidge of MMO thrown in. Thats what it was designed to be, and thats what it delivers.

    Its not perfect. There does come a point where you need to grind to catch up in levels and it does suck that there is no way to communicate with other players,    Seriously, the people who gave this game bad scores need some friends to play with.

    Its not perfect. There does come a point where you need to grind to catch up in levels and it does suck that there is no way to communicate with other players, but again thats not really an issue if you have actual friends to share the experience with. Regardless, it doesnt warrant a red score just for that.

    The problem with these low score reviews is they expect the ever elusive, 100% unique, genre defining MMO theyve been expecting since WoW. That, as usual, means theyll hate on it because it doesnt revolutionize the genre, yet they'll bow down to the next CoD iteration despite the fact its the exact same thing as the CoD before it.    … Expand

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

    What is most amazing of all is that despite its litany of weird little problems, Destiny is fantastic, its combat up there with the very best, the thrilling rhythm of its battles still not fading the 30th time through, and it has no single systemic problem that is not fixable. [Dec 2014, p.106]

    Destiny is a flawed but still extremely fun first person shooter. While the Destiny universe itself seems intriguing, the storyline is told in such an incoherent manner that it's hard not to be turned off by all the technobabble. Fortunately the co-op shooter mechanics are absolutely perfect. The loot system can be maddening, but in a way it adds to the game's addictiveness. [Oct 2014]
