    Destiny isn't the messiah of modern gaming that some hoped it would be, but it's still a lot of fun.

The missions themselves feel a bit repetetive and the story that is told throughout the game feels a bit lackluster but the great gunplay keeps you interested and engaged during the missions and there is just enough story to make you want to know more about the world.

    Where the game shines is in all the elements it takes from MMOs. A loot system that is part chance and part effort, dungeon runs with pick up groups and fast PVP that's either objective based or (team) deathmatch.

    The technical side is also flawless. Graphics, sound and music are out of this world and the networking seems solid, I at least didn't get disconnected even once. The action is also very well designed with the guns and special abilities having just the right feel to it.

    All in all I would rate Destiny 7.5, but since that's not possible here and since I'm gonna give it some props for the potential it shows for future expansion I'm gonna round up to 8.    … Expand

    THIS game is very funny. I have probably played it for over 16000 hours and i just can't get enough of destiny there is so much to do even after 16000 hours of playing. I love the game because of the graphics and because of the community there are only a**holes in the community which means that it is a very good community!!!

Doesnt make it a bad game though. Coming from a background of years of MMO play, I can understand what they're striving for. People who havent played many MMOs dont seem to understand the grinding aspect of this game. Complaining because you have to do the same thing over and over or fighting the same monsters. Um.. hello people, that is what an MMO is. Please show me one MMO that you dont grind in. Ill be waiting for a response. It's not a game for everyone sure. 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

    Destiny has given me an all around amazing experience. The drops, the troll Cryptarch, the multiplayer, and so much more make Destiny truly amazing. I could go on forever, but I think this pretty much sums up the true amazingness of Destiny.

    Destiny is a fantastic example of how our generation is so desperate for instant gratification.

My reason for saying this is due to the fact that most negative reviews game out within the first 24 hours using only the content that had been released to help players level and gear for the games future which involves raids and other dungeons and tons of endgame content that Bungie has promised will be mindblowing... Vault of Glass has already proven that they weren't kidding the raid is insanely difficult and involves mechanics that remind me of my days raiding in WoW... This game has rekindled that love for MMO's I once had and given me the opportunity to start fresh and try to keep with the pack and not play a constant game of catch up. Familiar controls, gorgeous artwork, great potential, fun character classes that don't feel like any one has a advantage over the other, proof that raids won't be simple as **** and that completing even the first part of vault of glass felt amazingly rewarding to complete, and so many more things. The biggest key to enjoying Destiny is approaching with an open mind and understanding what you want out of an MMORPG. Bungie did their best to cater to the softcore players as well as the hardcore raiders and they did a good job and anyone who wanted to get a taste of raiding in the first few weeks was dropped as a baby... The idiotic comments on here bashing Destiny before it is even off the ground are so frustrating I can barely put together a comment that doesn't consist of derogatory remarks towards all the moronic commenters who's reviews are going to potentially lose Bungie 2.5million in money that should be going towards developing more future content....… Expand

Settings on the guns are not revisable if there is only one enhancement option. The enemies all follow the same fighting pattern and cease their chase if you back off far enough. The story follows this pattern where your ghost unlocks stuff and you wait around and knock off a few bad guys. Maybe next time they will get it right. At least the multiplayer Crucible is awesome and challenging. They just need to implement a chat function. How can I talk to other players and coordinate without it???… Expand

The nicest way of putting this is "they left plenty of room for improvement." "Destiny" has the makings of something great, but all of the greatness has not been made yet, and Bungie should listen attentively to the more reasonable negative player feedback that they've received. That said, I'm continuing to enjoy the game, and think that its graphical fidelity, fun gameplay style, and overall gorgeous presentation makes it well worth playing.

    What's good:
    -Great overall feel for an FPS.
    -Cool weapons and armor.
    -Space magic.
    -Beautiful Environments.
    -Great voice cast.
    -Simple but consuming leveling system.
    -More space magic.
    -Dinklage

    What's bad:
    -Poorly explained universe: This game needed a codex like Mass Effect, which leads me to...
    -Grimoire Cards: Dear Bungie, don't make me use a web browser to look at the cards that somewhat explain the universe. That is all.
    -Remember that great voice cast? Now imagine a game where they barely say anything...except for Dinklage.
    -A story that is most definitely about something, I think. Maybe? It wasn't so great.
    -Total lack of character development.
    -Limited Loot.
    -Level cap too low.

    Even with the list of gripes above (which are by no means the extent of them), I still like "Destiny" a lot. Bungie has created a breathtaking game world, and it seems like the sort of world that's designed to be expanded, and so I think there's a pretty good chance that the "Destiny" universe will be expanded to include more planets and (hopefully better) stories in the future. It's a very fun experience overall, and while it didn't quite live up to all the hype, its strengths outweigh its weaknesses by far.    … Expand

    There are some repetitive gameplay elements. Escort ghost, ghost hacks computer, and then horde mode begins. I am not really worried about this as much as some people are....it reminds me very much of Diablo where you farm for gear in a story mode environment. Some have also compared it to Phantasy Star Online as well.

    With my cons out of the way, let me just say that this game is fun. The fun factor trumps and can forgive the few cons that I have. This may not be the same case for everyone, but running around blowing heads off gaining loot, upgrading gear, grinding factions, doing strikes with friends, doing crucible with friends, and just exploring for the chests and dead ghosts is the most fun I have had with a game in a very very long time.

    The music and sound effects in the game are great. The sound is immersive and you can hear the mobs all around you, the machines that fire their weapons. The large mobs sound large, the small mobs sound small. The snozberries taste like snozberries....it is great fun.

    Some people are going to hate to just hate. In my 30 years of living I have realized there are just negative people out there who pick apart everything. If you can find something good and and enjoyable in the game and it keeps you playing then play it. Instead of finding things that make you miserable find things that make you happy in life. I believe this game haves a little of everything for everyone so....

    Destiny is addictive. I understand what people are saying about the games repetitiveness, but those people probably don't play other MMORPGs like WOW, where grinding and repetitive actions are required to level up. Pokemon is extremely repetitive! story is barely there. But it is a staple in gaming's history. So is Destiny. Higher level raid was awesome, and loot grabbing is fun. Those whoDestiny is addictive.

    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]
