    So. I have sunk 34 hours into this game since launch, and believe that my opinion does count.

    Game is incredible. The story could be a bit deeper, but I assume they will expand on it with the DLC/ expansions in the near future.

    You will not enjoy this game if you're trying to play it on your own. It's an MMO after all which requires you to be social to discuss strats and generally, have some fun. We've died, screamed and laughed together (new clan and friends met via it) and we still come back for more.

    The game really starts after level 20 where the Heroic modifier is activated, the Nightfall strikes are activated along with weeklies, dailies and strike playlists. I have maxed out my vanguard for the week which shows how much of the after 20 content I've played.

    There is a lot of hate for this game, especially in metacritic. One review I found was along the lines of "I'd give this game an 8, but because there is a few good reviews, I'll even it out with a 2". In all seriousness, that is a joke.

    Very much looking forward to the future with this one, including the Raids which are opened on the 16th. Should be incredible fun.

    My recommendation? Don't buy if you're not a social gamer and are not into the 'grind' of typical MMO's. You will not find this fun. If you do get it, please join a clan, make new on-line friends and have a blast.

    I give this game a 9 - Purely due down to the story could be a bit deeper and the little grindy end game content (currently).    … Expand

    I purchased the PS4 + Destiny bundle a couple of weeks ago as part of a 'you deserve it impulse buy'. I was mostly oblivious to the hype surrounding this game and only realised it was a AAA title when doing a bit of on the spot research and opting for this particular bundle.

I was mostly oblivious to the hype surrounding this game and only realised it was a AAA title when doing a bit of on the spot research and opting for this particular bundle.

    I've been playing games since 1984 across a slew of different platforms. Over the years I've come across a few gems. When asked what my favourite game is I usually reply Skyrim. But Halo, Half-life, Dark Souls, Uncharted, Bioshock, GTA, among others, would also rank extremely well.

    Now, Destiny isn't a perfect game. It may need a little patching, minor fixes and a few updates here and there. It's an enterprise. A saga of sorts. Star Wars v0.5. People that bought into the hype are experiencing a myriad of different conflicting thoughts and feelings. Thankfully I wasn't exposed to it and can take it for what it is.

    As it stands, Destiny is a FANTASTIC game! Trust me.
    Here's the interesting bit: if we are to believe the rumoured roadmap, it can get even better and improve over time. I'm having a great, great time playing as a Warlock (currently level 18 and rising)! The crucible is fun! The tech tree is fun! The missions are fun! The raids and strikes are fun! Bottom line: you get your money's worth and then some. You have guaranteed fun. It's already a gem of a game and can only get better!
    Go get it! (Really!)

    BTW, I simply fail to comprehend or even respect critic reviews and user reviews that rate this game lower than an 8 or 84%. It's a clear 9 for the time being. It can become a 10 soon. That's better than what can be said of most games. Well done Bungie!    … Expand

    This game is is like the Phantasy Star online of the FPS genre. Its a hub based theme park MMO with the best shooting mechanics ever placed into a FPS mmo. How far this game goes will depend entirely on how fast they put out content. As it is now, if you enjoy the combat you will likely put in hundreds of hours into the game.

    Not the best game in the world, but pretty solid. It suffers from being over hyped. But I enjoy the game and think it gets at least a 9 out of 10.All these crazy low scores are unjustified.

    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.

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

The weapons are awesome and the challenges like the weekly nightfall are pretty intense with my friends. We keep going in order to level up our armor and weapons so we can try and get into the raid which would be awesome since it's something we have to work toward instead of just spoon fed to us like most games. Only reason why I don't give it a solid ten is that the strike missions (dungeons) are a big part of the leveling experience and yet they have only 6. They should have released 2 for each planet instead of only 1 for earth and the moon.… Expand

    Let me start by saying I absolutely love Destiny and am completely addicted to it! I believe it's a cross between Halo, Borderlands, and Call of Duty in some aspects but also believe it is it's own game and very unique.

I believe it's a cross between Halo, Borderlands, and Call of Duty in some aspects but also believe it is it's own game and very unique. I have played this game every single day since release and find myself thinking about this game when I'm not playing or on the mobile app looking at stats or information. Here is a list and detailed explanation of the pros and cons.

    Pros

    The gameplay and combat are superb and the best I've ever seen, from the sounds of the weapons shooting and reloading to the bodies flying a la ragdall style! It is a very satisfying feeling getting a headshot on "The Fallen" (AI you're fighting against)! Every gun looks, feels, and shoots in it's own unique style. You can throw a grenade into a mob full of enemies and watch the bodies fly. Each body shot you do has a different effect on your enemies, shoot them in the leg, they slowly try to get away. PVP is a great example of gameplay and combat because most players will have different weapons and each player uses them differently. I personally recommend hand cannons because of the power with each shot and the feeling of 1 click headshots but someone else may prefer a fully automatic assault rifle using spray & pray. You really "feel" it when you shoot enemies or other players and it just feels right. This is where Destiny is awesome is the combat and weapon system.

    The graphis aren't the best I've ever seen but still look impressive on the PS4 to say the least. I have stopped during gameplay just to awe at the landscape because it really looks great. You can see the sun go down and the rays shine through trees and you can forget you are in the middle of a fight with the Fallen. Other characters look really nice, even when you get close up, the textures do not lose their crisp look. This game is somewhat open world but it does still somehow feel kind of "closed" off. You can go almost anywhere but the landscape in the far off distance is not reachable, at least not yet.

    Music - The music in Destiny is worthy to take note of. Many of the boss fights become even more epic because of the music that is being played. It really immerses you in the moment and I think it even hightens the situation that much more. The soundtrack is out and getting great reviews already.

    I know this game has gotten a lot of negative reviews and many feel it was all hype and didn't deliver. I gave this a 9 and not a 10 because of how much I'm addicted to this game and it's been a long time since I've been this hooked on something. The story is not so great, the story of this game is definetley incomplete and many have been upset about that. I have also been pretty upset about the loot system considering I had successfully completed over 50+ strikes (at about 30+ minutes each) and always came in first place with my amount of kills/assists and etc. and never once won a legendary item. I continued to remain patient and finally started getting legendary and exotic items and now that I'm level 28, I have 4 exotics and full legendary gear/weapons. It will happen, you WILL get great gear but there is no rhyme or reason to it, it is all random no matter how well you perform.

    The stories and loot system I beleive or the negative points of this game and the reason I dropped it to a 9 out of possible 10. But the gameplay, music, sounds, graphics, and the POSSIBILITY of getting awesome gear keeps me coming back. I hate this game so much I love it! They got it wrong on some major areas but got it right on some major areas. I play this game because I'm finally getting all this great gear and my character looks bad ass, I can play with my friends and we have a blast in strikes and PVP.

    My advice:

    If you have played an MMO where you have grinded the same mobs and maps over and over and over and over to get good gear and you still enjoyed it, get this game!

    If you do NOT like playing game that are a grind with the same levels and mobs over and over and over, do NOT get this game!    … Expand

    Though they forgot to hire gameplay director, as game is repetitive and unsatisfying. One run through campaign and it’s getting boring. (Very short run in 6-8 hours tops) Re-playing missions on higher difficulty is useless. It yields no real reward just more time to complete against tougher enemies.

    Experience based level cap limited to 20. It’s ridiculous. To get higher level special items are needed that are hard to find. The best option to buy weapons sing special currency, though with price of up to 150 units per gun and getting only 2-4 per 20 min mission is just too much. Raids automatic match making is unavailable, so I need to have friends available or find someone to join me. I suppose spending time finding or organizing people and not playing is sucks.

    The game has a potential, though boring and repetitive gameplay that requires a lot of time to get new stuff and so new level is discouraging. I thing only gamers with A LOT OF FREE TIME will get fun out of it.

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.

Then I tried Destiny which came with my PS4 bundle. At first I felt that it was underwhelming and incoherent as I was expecting a single player type epic story with tight narrative. I gave up on it but went back to it couple months after completing all my backlog games. And 2nd time round, i gave it a chance and made sure i committed a good number of hrs to it. And boy did i have FUN! This game is perfect for me, a working married adult with limited time for extended game sessions. This game made me reminisce of those childhood days where i gamed for fun! The last few games i finished felt like a chore, like a checklist of things to complete. It's refreshing to play a game and not having to keep up with an epic storyline and just de-stress and shoot some stuff. I mean i love games with great plot, characters and direction, but i guess ive been playing too much of those games and sometimes after a long day of work, i just wanna relax and unwind.

    Destiny's shooting is perfect for consoles. Never did i feel like i wish i had a mouse and keyboard which was my main gripe with playing FPS on console (just switched to PS4 from a gaming laptop which died on me). Each weapon type feels distinct and has advantages in different situations. I love the weapon designs and just collecting Exotics and Legendaries. Looting is fun (Diablo 1-3 took up 20% of my life!) but the shooting and completing challenging missions are the essence of the Destiny experience. Especially when u play co-op with either auto matchmaking or finding people on forums to team up with. To me the Exotic or Legendary loot i get at the end is just a bonus. The euphoria of overcoming a particular tough challenge with a bunch of pple is intoxicating. And i like it that we dont have to chat or type to communicate, just some random 'dance' or 'wave' character movements. That was what put me off MMOs like world of warcraft where u have to be really involved socially. This feels bery balanced where i get to play with pple but not have to socialize beyond the occassional psn messages. Although the King's Fall raids do require more detailed communication via microphones, and thats the only thng i've yet to complete.

    Story could be done much better of course and i do believe they will do a better job in the sequel. The grimoire cards (basically game lore) were annoying at first cos i thought they could be accessed in-game. But once i downloaded the Destiny app and a PDF on google for the complete grimoire collection, i realized there was a lot more to the game lore than explained in the game. This kinda impressed me and pulled me in even more. So on my 2nd character play through, I went way slower (i blazed though my first playthrough as a hunter so had no idea what the heck was going on) and listened to every dialogue, background conversation and read up every quest description. That gave the game more meat in terms of story and plot, especially after reading the complete grimoire beforehand. I wish Bungie will release a lore book in future, like Dragon Age's World of Thedas. I'd buy that.

    Anyway, this is the most fun i've had in a game in a long time. And that's not been one of my benchmarks for judging a game. It used to be graphics, story/plot, or characterization that decided for me if a game was great. Destiny just blew my mind how much fun i was having and it's very refreshing. I highly recommend this to those who enjoy FPS, looking for something fun and "mindless" to squeeze in under an hour or 30min per session, and love looting. Sign me up for Destiny 2, COLLECTORS EDITION! Keep it up Bungie, have not played a Bungie game since the original Halo 1 & 2 on the original Xbox (gave up waiting on Halo series to come on PC), so this was bloody impressive!    … Expand

So you could spend many hours fully upgrading three guardians to the max level of 30, get all their perks in their class and in their sub classes and find them legendary weapons and armor. You can do this through the single player story, The online MP which is either 3 v 3 or 6 v 6 and in other modes like Strikes,raids and patrols. There is a lot of content and the gameplay is solid and the loot finding is addictive. Now it's not all great as the story is Destiny isn't really there. You are thrown in and you don't have much of an idea to what is going on, why things are happening or why you are doing what you're doing. It's strength and focus is on gameplay for sure. It also looks really good from a graphics and a design point. It can be described as a FPS/RPG with MMO elements. Even a Halo meets Borderlands. It's a game worth picking up if you're into space adventure, online or offline FPS games or loot finding and leveling up games. Anyone who says this game is a 0/10 or anything below a 6 really are just ignorant of the fact that this game is a really good solid game with a lot of content, addiction value and it's fun.

    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. My main complaints with the game include the lackluster story, the annoying item system and the strange amor light system. i think it is worth the purchase if you like either halo or borderlands.

    HONEST REVIEW FROM A NEUTRAL ALL CONSOLE OWNING GAMER..

    ***TWO THINGS*** ~~1~ THE GAME is awesome and has the BEST control in any shooter game ever.. and ive been gaming since early 90's... ~~2~ THE COMPANY IS EVIL~ (Bungie) ~And this is a big deal..That story of Bungie ripping off and trying to silence the composer/music director for Bungie is ALL TRUE..And it horrified    HONEST REVIEW FROM A NEUTRAL ALL CONSOLE OWNING GAMER..

    ***TWO THINGS***

    ~~1~ THE GAME is awesome and has the BEST control in any shooter game ever.. and ive been gaming since early 90's...

    ~~2~ THE COMPANY IS EVIL~ (Bungie)
    ~And this is a big deal..That story of Bungie ripping off and trying to silence the composer/music director for Bungie is ALL TRUE..And it horrified me...Don't downplay this story my fellow gamers...
    because Bungie not only fired the guy, but they kept ALL HIS STOCK IN THE COMPANY. We are talking about 80 Million dollars in stock or whatever the amount was...
    *He destroyed Bungie in court and Bungie got yelled at by the Judge for using pathetic Tactics in the courtroom to make it appear like they achieved even a small victory...ALL OF THIS IS 100% TRUE AND CAN EASILLY BE GOOGLED...
    ~So yeah,,i can ignore Bungie and pretend they are the good ole boys from Halo 1 + 2 and the VICTIMS of Microsoft and they finally got independence. but all the rumours were TRUE about THIS GAME, DESTINY getting nerfed and broken up into pieces...

    ~~This story was gutted and this is another huuuge story and the reason the score is 78 or 79 instead of the 97 or 98 It woulda shoulda gotten had the game not been cut by 75%..
    YES 75% IS MISSING...

    ***GREED WON THE DAY AND Bungie reputation took a Hillary style hit...
    **I recently returned to Destiny after I bought the newest dumb expansion for $40 bucks..(lame)

    **and I was amazed at the control and shooting mechanics...In the eyar off I took, I played Metal gear Solid V for 6 months str8, and I played FARCRY 4,,FARCRY PRIMAL(garbage) and The Division..And both these games are mediocre with guns and control compaired ot DESTINY...
    I cant say this enough...But the company is really bad and the rumors I heard about missing content is I suspect TRUE..and that means Bungie is a slave to Activision..Thats the price of theyre freedom from Microsoft...
    ***Had DESTINY been made by Bungie under Microsoft = we woulda had Game of the year and a legend along the Lines of Halo 1 +2....Activision + Bungie allowed Greed to take control and that sound guy is a eff'n Hero....Bungie/Activision DESTROYED his reputation like Hillary did the women Bill Clinton fed D*** too....This man is a hero who yes wanted his money,,but the reason Bungie fired him was because he took a stand and stood up to activision........EVERYONE WHO IS A GAMER MUST READ THAT STORY....    … Expand

    Lets take away all hype attached to this game for a moment. "Destiny" is a solid first person shooter with top of the class action, visuals and contains a very grounded gameplay foundation. After awhile of play, lack of content starts to show. Repetitive mission design and awful story don't help either. But it helped remind me what made multiplayer gaming so great in the first place.Lets take away all hype attached to this game for a moment.

    I am having HEAPS of fun with DESTINY. I am playing with a full 3-man fire team though (I honestly don't know why others reviewers on here are playing the game on their own, don't you have any friends!?!) and it is STACK of fun. Enemies do get a bit repetitive but the bounties will vary the way you approach each mission. All in all a very good game, but does still have room for improvement.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Destiny is a game really well. I love pvp I find it better than Halo even though I am a fan of Halo . Halo license is for me finished, I replaced by Destiny .

    However, the scores attributed to Destiny are quite wrong as Watch Dogs I made scammed by marketing. There I had no surprises, it was exactly the game I expected.

    Positive:
    - Really balanced PvP (level 2 finish first and I had the grenade on me 22/9 ) and the gameplay is very dynamic
    - PvE ( dungeon , etc.) is short but mostly for multiplayer gaming or with her friends.
    - Communication is very well done, you do not expect players to insult you . And when a friend joins you expect vs directly , it's a real positive.
    - The life span is the longest of all fps
    - Interface and I ergonomist is made ​​with respect to the mojorité games.
    - The character designs are very nice .
    - The environment on ps4 is very beautiful, I love watching the moon the stars.
    - The qualities I see a lot because it's my job as a designer ergonomic but I think many do not realize .
    - The Star Wars next spring much, being a fan of SW , I love the super jump and spaceship :) Light = Force

    Negative:
    - Yet it is the biggest pillar of a game except for the call of . The narration is very poor, you have little bit of immersion and cinematic in this universe yet very great.

    Bungie 's mission is successful, with the FPS half MMO . Critics who do not fit the game I played .    … Expand

The graphics are true next-gen, so gorgeous and so well made that combines perfectly with a well made level design.

    Good idea, poor execution. Loot is lackluster compared to other RPG games like Diablo 3. Grinding gets boring fast and feels more repetitive than Diablo 3. FPS capped @ 30 - WTF?? And now Bungie is trying to milk more $$ by punishing players who don't purchase the DLC.. This game is overhyped junk.

I judge FPS's by one main attribute: feel...and it feels great. The RPG elements are there, although I'm a little puzzled at the functions of some of the items I'm acquiring. I'm only level 18, so I'm sure that they will present their usefulness at some point. Gotta give this a 9. And arguable 9, but a 9 nonetheless.

It just makes you even more upset when it was not exactly what you were hoping for. Stuff in real life is not as good as the things we imagine them to be.

I am thoroughly addicted, and even with the constant stream of goals I'm trying to work on each and every night, I still find myself getting lost in the sheer fun of the gunplay mechanics and hoping for a hectic public event to appear on the horizon. The world is beautiful, lovingly designed, and I can't get enough. Even the simple act of moving through the world is a gameplay joy that few other games can match. These are the basic truths that the negative reviews are missing - did Destiny have even more potential? Sure. Is it still a better game than most? Absolutely.

    The negativity you hear stems from a few things which I will try to address:

    1. The over-hyped expectations of individuals. This can't be helped, but it does help to remember what Destiny is and is not. It is a shooter with more to do than just competitive multiplayer. If that appeals to you at all, then you will love this game. If you wanted World of Warcraft in space, or No Man's Sky with guns, this is not that game. But it is one of the best darn shooters out there.

    2. Very little storyline. Despite plenty of story missions, it is true that Destiny fails at trying to tell its story. I think this is simply because they thought too far ahead, and intended to piecemeal out the story a little at a time across all their future expansions. They probably should have shown us all the epic storyline they could come up with right off the bat, and worry about writing more later. But, that's not to say that their worldbuilding isn't fantastic - they have all the elements for a great world and a great story, they just tried to be mysterious about it for the entire game. This was a mistake, but I still enjoy their world and its factions, even if only by sensing their unexpressed potential.

    3. The grind. After level 20, you have to start thinking about how you play the game and what you want to achieve for your character. This confuses some people and puts them off, but I think it is actually handled rather cleverly, and every night I have left the game feeling satisfied with my accomplishments. Leveling past 20 isn't simply a matter of finding your favorite farming location and killing the same stuff over and over; that won't work. You begin having to balance the different types of play modes, and inevitably find that your play session squeezed a surprising amount of variety out of the existing content (within your personal preference - you can get the same results whether you prefer PvE or PvP, which is a huge selling point for me). The PvE Strike playlist randomizes, for instance, ensuring that no one can pick the most exploitable one and replay it for endless grind; Bounties change daily and Daily/Weekly missions find ways to reuse Story missions with modified enemies and gameplay modifiers. Basically, this all means that while you will replay the same content throughout the endgame, Bungie has found every possible way to creatively mix up and reuse that content in new ways to keep you busy. (far better than most competitive shooters, where all you EVER play are the same maps over and over). So there is a grind, but it's the best-handled grind I've seen. Hopefully it will continue to improve even more (special events have already begun to demonstrate this).

    Destiny is fun. Destiny is well made. Destiny will keep you up late at night. If those are your expectations of a good game, and you measure it against other games out there in the genre, you won't be disappointed.    … Expand

    no matter what haters will say - Destiny is a really fun and polished game. i keep reading bad reviews about it being repetitive, dull and that the story telling is really bad... but hey, what did you expect from an FPS MMO? yes, its not as massive as others, like PlanetSide, but still an MMO. also, its really heavy on the RPG elements, including damage system, loot system, mount systemno matter what haters will say - Destiny is a really fun and polished game. i keep reading bad reviews about it being repetitive, dull and that the story telling is really bad... but hey, what did you expect from an FPS MMO? yes, its not as massive as others, like PlanetSide, but still an MMO. also, its really heavy on the RPG elements, including damage system, loot system, mount system and trading system, did you really think they wont send you on missions like "grab 10 apples from the monsters and bring them back to me"? i played a lot of MMOs and i never felt as if the story was REALLY strong cause i didnt care, im enjoying the elements which makes the game good.
    Destny's Pros:
    - VERY strong gameplay. smooth controls and good enemy AI (not the best, but also not Metro 2033)
    - graphics are amazingly beautiful, i love to find new armor pieces and see how i look. especially in PVP
    - loot system is abundant and yet simple. i thought its too simple to start with, but then i noticed i keep going back to inventory and switching stuff and upgrading stuff.
    - grinding is as fun as missions, i got to lvl 17 and i only finished first zone
    - awesome skill system. no skill points, just unlockable skills.
    - great class choice - only 3 classes yet their gameplay is really different - i recommend the hunter for pure awesomeness

    Destiny's cons:
    - no chat system in social planet. u cant talk to other people chatting.
    - slow loading/matchmaking. it can take up to a minute and a half to load a new planet.
    - there is no equality system in PVP. if you join as lvl 5, u have no abilities while the lvl 20 will kick your ass with abilities (doesnt mean u cant win, just annoying to see him using a lot of stuff while u can only double jump)

    thats what i think of Destiny. this game is at least an 8, cant understand why people give it less.
    i give it a 9 - cause no matter what - i really enjoy it.
    dont believe the reviews - this is genuinely a good game.
    see ya, going to play some Destiny.    … Expand

    Overall there's plenty to like, for example the gun play which is great but the devs have done a very poor job of making end game fun and rewarding. Plus it's worth mentioning to unlock all content you need to spend an additional £40 on DLC.

However its a game that requires time, and is mainly meant to be pleasing to eyes. It uses MMO elements so its bound to be completely repetitive. Especially since Bungie wants the game to last 4yrs before the next iteration most likely. However, it can be said that due to the MMO elements which is also apart of the storytelling which makes it lighter than even Dark Souls, Destiny falls off the board. So everyone who was expecting a real story wasn't really paying attention. Now whether you should pay 60 for this game is a different story. Truthfully I find myself agreeing that the game feels like 40 in content which is sad. I would be hard pressed to sell the game to a person at 60, but thats what a 500 million marketing budget can do. Anyways the game is at its best played with friends and if you don't have any you might find the game to be extremely boring.

    This game is all about expectations going into the game, expect a Dark souls/MMO based story, which means you have to pay attention in order to understand stuff along with checking the forums on the game. Which is one reason fans are upset having expected something along the lines of Halo/MassEffect. Destiny is meant to be more than just story its meant to be MO(multi-online) a game with longevity in the online part rather than story. Personally I blame the advertising. However, the game is worth the time put into it though. It is without a doubt fun but repetitive. If you have 60 to blow then go on ahead especially if you have tons of time on your hands. Otherwise wait for a price drop.

    Weak points: Multiplayer is whack until you get up in levels but the best place to do that is in the multiplayer. Character classes can feel overpowered or under-powered in certain techniques. So the matchmaking system should be fixed keeping levels near each other.

    Always online feature is probably what ruined the games ability to actually have a story, as such its also annoying to need while you're simply just playing by yourself. Which means you can't play the game, which means you spent 60 on a useless disc if for some reason your internet connection goes down for days at a time.    … Expand

    Destiny is a really good game, but obviously a lot depends on what expectations you brought to the game. Reading through other comments I see some people say "This is the worse MMO ever" and then you'll see a comment that says "I was expecting a great campaign like Halo" and then there are comparisons to the loot variety in Borderlands. Well, Destiny isn't really like any of thoseDestiny is a really good game, but obviously a lot depends on what expectations you brought to the game. Reading through other comments I see some people say "This is the worse MMO ever" and then you'll see a comment that says "I was expecting a great campaign like Halo" and then there are comparisons to the loot variety in Borderlands. Well, Destiny isn't really like any of those things but for me it is a satisfying mix of elements from each of those influences.

    The game is satisfying as a shooter. The guns feel good, all the normal types of guns you'd expect are there and most have modification options to further suit them to your own personal tastes. The real draw for shooter fans is likely to be PVP and Destiny does a pretty good job of it, though I would like to see more objective game modes besides Control (Domination for CoD fans). I also think the super abilities sometimes have a tendency to overshadow skilled gun play at times. I think toning the supers back so they aren't insta-kill or adding a playlist that doesn't make use of them might be a welcome change.

    The game also borrows many things from the MMO genre as well. There are daily quests, weekly raid lock-outs, factions vendors with required reputation grinds, end-game loot tokens, armor dying, group finder, wearable items to represent a faction and the list goes on. But, this isn't an MMO and if you're primarily looking for a social gaming experience like you find in an MMO, you'll be disappointed.

    Finally, there is a loot grind element to this game and while it isn't as varied as games like Diablo 3 or Borderlands who make loot grind their main focus, it is better than I expected. I've liked experimenting with most of the weapons I've found but the armor is completely unexciting. Armor has a defensive value (seems to be dictated only by what slot it goes in and what item level it is), a Light stat and some combination of Intellect, Discipline and Strength. The Light stat is really just a proxy for how good the item is and accumulating higher levels of Light will drive your character's effective level beyond the normal cap of 20. As a hunter the Intellect stat allows me use my super ability more often, Discipline lets me use my grenade more often and Strength lets me use my throwing knife more often. All of these are nice but they aren't exciting choices and they don't really change the way I play at all.

    My suggestions on how Destiny could be improved going forward are:
    1) Add more armor stats to make for some more interesting gear choices
    2) Add more competitive-friendly play modes to the Crucible
    3) Keep the new content coming at a good pace    … Expand

The character customization is easy to use and it doesn't take long to hop right in and play. I am currently 10 hours in and loving every bit of it.

    Hello everyone and welcome to my Destiny review.

    Destiny is the latest game from Halo series creators Bungie, which can be clearly seen in the clever level design and sharp shooting mechanics. Although it is a hard game to categorize, Destiny can be considered a MMOFPS, as you share the world with other players but you're free to do whatever you want. ===========Graphics==========    Hello everyone and welcome to my Destiny review.

    Destiny is the latest game from Halo series creators Bungie, which can be clearly seen in the clever level design and sharp shooting mechanics.

    Although it is a hard game to categorize, Destiny can be considered a MMOFPS, as you share the world with other players but you're free to do whatever you want.

    ===========Graphics==========

    Destiny is gorgeous to look at.

    Bungie once again shows that they are one of the best in the world when it comes to art direction and level design.

    From the desolated wasteland of Old Russia to the deserted areas of Mars (it looks a lot like Tatooine, specially when you are driving around in your Sparrow) you're presented with beautifull scenarious that you constantly amaze you, even after spending several hours with the game.

    ===========Gameplay====================

    This is where Destiny excells, the sharp shooting, the inteligent enemy AI, the hard to take down bosses, all merge together to create an wonderfull experience (Bungie's 30 second heart race that keeps you coming back for more).

    Even when you're just trying to cruise along, if an enemy pops out in the corner of your eye you go for it as it's just so much fun.

    ===============The Crucible===============

    Destiny's PVP is a great experience, even with it's hard learning curve and early unbalanced matchmaking.

    You will grow to love it with time, as you start learning how to spot your enemies quickly and how to engage and disengage in firefights.

    =====================The Story===================

    Many people consider this Destiny's weakness.

    The story is provided to you in loading screens and some cutscenes (that leave you wishing for more).

    Although it is quite vague it sets the tone of the game and gives you the reason to shoot all those aliens in the face and come back for more.

    After all, you are a Guardian, you're supposed to go on missions that help restoring the Traveller and that's exactly what you will be doing.

    ========================Verdict===================

    Destiny is a great game, the mechanics are great, the vistas are gorgeous and the world is really appealing and addictive.

    After you try it and start levelling up, you will want to come back for more, specially if you have some friends to enjoy it with.    … Expand

    So after about 20-25 hours in destiny, the vast majority of it in strikes, campaign missions and just general free roam stuff, I've completed the main campaign. Still got a ton to do, lots of pvp stuff to do, and then there are the raids and additional strikes which at the moment are still locked. But these are my thoughts and opinions on it so far. This may be a very long post so fore warning.

    I've enjoyed the game a lot, I like the combat, it's really fun, especially when there are multiple players in the field in the large battles. The enemies are nicely varied and interest ing to fight against and the locations are quite large and open, also quite lovely to look at, with some impressive areas which are fun to explore for the most part.

    The strikes that I have completed are quite challenging, probably impossible on your own due to all the enemies you go up against. And even with strangers we still cooperated well enough, though having a few friends and mics during them makes for some epic coop runs and I would advise to have a firearm of your friends over strangers.

    The free roam side missions, whilst a bit repetitive after a while can still be fun. You will be tasked with scouting/scanning certain areas, killing certain enemies or a number of enemies, thAt kind of thing. And the public events are pretty challenging and fun at the same time, even more so with other players around, and there tends to be a few when these kick off.

    The multiplayer is kind of a hybrid of halo and cod, more so on the former, which for me makes it quite enjoyable, though it's not my main focus. But it is quite balanced, as a lvl 7 I could stand toe to toe with players twice my level, also has some nice varied maps to play on as well, though only five modes which is a let down.

    Now, it may seem this I'm giving a completely positive view on this and I'm certain some people will begin to cry fanboy and the likes, and I am giving a positive view for the most part. But There are two areas of the game that disappointed me, and they are two of my most key areas that I look forward to in games. Story and lore.

    Now firstly, the lore. I don't think it's bad, actually for me it's quite interesting, I want to learn more. But the way it's handled, and I've mentioned it before here, is very poorly in my opinion. You can't have conversations with the quest givers or talk to them about their past or just general history. Which I love doing in games, I don't know how many hours in skyrim alone I just talked to people or just reading books. Now granted you can read up about the lore in the bungie site via the grimoire cards, which are very informative and nicely done. But it's quite distracting having to go out of the game an go to another place and read it when it could have easily been done in game via better means.

    Secondly, the story. Now for me I've always liked bungie stories, halos was nothing revolutionary or ground breaking, it was quite normal I guess but I felt they did it really well. Here however it's essentially a mess. It's not that we'll linked together, the substance of them (not the actual battles, they are fun) but the narrative is quite disjointed and lacking and, I don't really care about it for the most part, some story missions are nicely done, especially on the moon, but overall its meh. If it was probably linked together more strongly I may not be as annoyed by it but I am. Which is a massive shame as I like this universe, the lore and backstory is interesting as are the locations, but the actual in game story segments arnt. So in this regard the game is a disappointment, but overall I still like it.

    So overall, despite the two main issues I have with the game, it's really one, lore is a minor issue, I would give destiny an 8/10. As it is still enjoyable, especially the coop strikes and the raids look promising so I'm interested in them. Despite my issue with the lore I still like it and will continue to read up on it and I will most likely get the expansions down the road for the extra strikes and gear and in general playing this game for a good while. Hopefully bungie works on the story more for the later updates and what have you.

    If the story had been on par with halo this would probably be a 10 from me, but it isn't. For some people it will be, fir others it will be a lot lower, but to each his own.    … Expand

Destiny is a well built game evenly balanced between open world, campaign and a sturdy multiplayer. Maybe you should know what you buy because this is what it was always going to be. And that only leaves you to blame yourself for buying a game which wasn't right for you.

The interface for the different planets is great, it is easy to find the missions you need to do, the ones you have already done, and the Crucible (Multiplayer, Team Deathmatch, Control, etc.) Also, the Tower is a great idea by Bungie, it is a place where you can meet other people, buy weapons, armor, emblems, etc, receive missions or bounties, or even just dance with friends. It was amazing, the first time I went to the Tower, I saw two people dancing, others sitting, and I even found a soccer ball to kick around! The attention to detail is astounding. The story has been good so far, I'm at about the 4th mission, but I can see myself getting hooked in the lore of Destiny. The multiplayer is like nothing I have played before. I have played COD, but never Halo. The Sci-fi elements make it very interesting to me, whether it be the powerful guns, or the ability to lift into the air and slam down on the heads of many opponents. One thing that I didn't like was the loading time to jump into a multiplayer match, it seemed like I stared at the video of the ships flying together for far too long. Maybe that will change in the future. With all that said there is so much you can do in Destiny, I can see myself playing this with friends for a very long time.

    Now, the story is kind of bland compared to Halo... There are a lot of clichés thrown in there and Dinklebot could have done a better job with the voiceacting and the patrol missions (easily skippable with a few pvp matches) have you retreading a lot of ground and can get a little tedious after a while.

Story line is a bit weak - but I don't buy games like this for story lines anyway and I doubt most people do. Random drops are a bit silly and it is tedious getting over lvl 20.

If you are interested in sci fi then you will love this. The feeling of acquiring new gear, bolstering your armor and completing bounties are quite challenging and fun, and very satisfying. The level design is truly beautiful; well-crafted excellence. and to experience a vague idea of what it'd be like to go to the Moon, Venus, and Mars, and look up at the galaxy is a one in a lifetime experience.

    I'm kind of sick of the "over-hyped" review. I feel like the only reason people fall into this "over-hyped" space is because they didn't take the time to look into the game before release and just imagined a revolutionary game without knowing what to really expect.

    Before the game was released, I was super excited for the game, knowing that there's gonna be an fps-mmo-rpg coming. But    I'm kind of sick of the "over-hyped" review.

    Before the game was released, I was super excited for the game, knowing that there's gonna be an fps-mmo-rpg coming. But as soon as I saw beta gameplay, I knew what Bungie was actually going for.

    Now this game is no Borderlands (mainly since the story isn't as fun and charming as Borderlands storylines), but it doesn't have to be. Because instead, what they made was a very beautifully (graphically) made fps-rpg game (I've left out the mmo part because it doesnt really feel mmo-y, where you see other players, but treat them like npc's).
    The gameplay is great, and the world is just beautiful. Story is... meh (but for an mmo, its up there). I definitely loved the strike missions, but it was pretty silent during the whole thing which undercuts the fun a bit.
    This game is definitely a grindfest, if not for levels, for loot. But that's okay, there's always strike missions, and if you want there's multiplayer game modes.

    But in conclusion, look at the game before getting it, knowing what to expect. This game is great for the most part, and just falls a little bit in others. Really wished the story was more motivating, just because its Bungie and my expectations were a little high for that. Let's hope Bungie see's their mistakes and just goes up from there.    … Expand

I am still in the early stages of the game so I cant speak for the content later on but I am hooked. I see myself running late for work, dinner etc. in the coming months because I have to see what is around the corner or down the stairway. It is addictive. The graphics are gorgeous, enemy animation is organic, although when I am at the Traveler and see my character running it looks a little stilted. Why can they not get that right? The level of detail is amazing. The sound of the firefights is spot on but the music is underwhelming. Not bad just not on the same level as the visual presentation. The fodder enemies provide a simple challenge without being pushovers, they will kill you if you are careless. Boss fights are well balanced and challenging. Mind you I am still in the early stages so I haven't encountered many but, I noticed that the attack pattern of the bosses is varied enough that I couldn't special move spam kill them. This is not a loot fest like Borderlands or WOW so if that is what you like be prepared, but you still get cool weapons and armor to upgrade. The biggest complaint that I would have is that the world seems a little empty, but not dead. There are hidden passages all over to take but the enemies inside do not scale to your level so be ready to run if you see something with ??? for levels. You will die.

    The reactions to this game are unfortunate. Maybe all that Activision bragging about the huge game budget was what catalyzed the negative reactions.

The huge amount of money that they used for marketing could have been used to enhance certain aspects of the game. From my opinion this is the most fun you can have in a FPS-RPG-MMO-kind-of-game.

    I'll start with the CONS:

    - mediocre voice-acting
    - lack of finesse in using the game's lore(the lore is very interesting and you can find more about the universe by checking out the grimoire cards on Bungie's site BUT the writing is poorly done and the story fails to let you in the universe they created); there is a lot of potential but for now they did not do a very good job; it is by no means an atrocious story, it's just not well presented and could be enhanced;
    - the repetitiveness is a small issue but one which can be easily tolerated if you find yourself happy with the game; they could change a few things in the cooperative strikes, like random enemy encounters, random enemy spawning(because after 2-3 playthroughs of the same strike you will get to know the way to the bosses and the locations from which enemies spawn and you get to skip some parts just to finish the strikequickly and get your rewards)
    - the loot system can be improved, even though it is quite ok ( there are many secret locations which do not have loot in them or you get the same loot from hidden stashes)
    - the in-game fireteam communication must be enhanced(you have very limited reactions: dance,point,wave and sit; there has to be a way to improve this mechanic and add more reactions like point-to-location to improve coordination, clap to encourage a teammate, wait, stay, help etc)

    PROS:

    - perfect FPS mechanics/controls
    - awesome locations
    - awesome soundtrack(O'Donnell is the king)
    - awesome bosses and intense bossfights
    - enemy variety(up to 4 alien species with different tactics,advantages,disadvantages and different weak spots, forcing you to change your tactics accordingly)
    - awesome-looking gear(weapons and armor are awesome)
    - awesome customization (armor colour, different ships, different sparrows)
    - interesting level-up system which gives you 2 subclasses per class with 2 different combat approaches(every skill column serves for a certain ability and you may choose 2 from a column depending on how you want to play: offensive,defensive, more/less toughness, more/less speed/agility,more/less recovery, more grenades, area-of-effect kind of abilities or single enemy focused abilities etc.)
    - very fun game to play with your friends!
    - decent campaign lenght
    - lots of content with daily/weekly added stuff
    - awesome graphics
    - perfect smooth framerate
    - smart-ish A.I.( which will make Halo fans think about Halo and the behaviour of the Elites when their shields decreased etc) which changes tactics, stalks you, confront you, hides when in danger/shields low but there is still room for improvement
    - mostly no bugs(I say mostly because I have heard some people talking about a few problems but I did not experience any graphic/sound/in-game/connectivity issues in the 40 hours which I spent with this game)

    I would say that this game is in no way deserving a grade less than 8. It is the kind of game which you should first play before you judge. I hope that people could stop hating just for fun and judge this game accordingly. It is a very fun game, it is not the best game of the decade and peoples should stop boarding the hype/hate trains and just play for fun.    … Expand

    Personally I absolutely love the game. The graphics and visuals are amazing. The sounds are also very, very good. Yes some of the gameplay is a little repetitive, but that's because it's not a linear game where you're going from one unique level to the next, never to visit the previous. I also liked that the environments weren't super filled up with loot and chests similar to Borderlands where you have about 1,000 chests to open at any one time.

    The gameplay is excellent. When I first started playing, I felt the character seemed a little sluggish and slow. Adjusting the stick sensitivity helped with some of this. The shooting has a nice real feel to it. You get a more random recoil out of the automatics than just a straight up arc. The mix of weapons could have been a little more broad but I'm sure as the game progresses that will change (in the sense of Bungie releasing updates and mods). The PVP is also a ton of fun to play. I like that it integrates what you do in the story and has direct ties to the legendary armors. The accompanying storyline is interesting to say the least. I really enjoy the Sci Fi genre and this game embodies everything you'd expect out of that.

    My advice is to go play the game without any preconceived notions about what it is or isn't supposed to be. I see a lot of reviews where players are butt hurt it isn't EXACTLY Halo or EXACTLY Borderlands or whatever. It's a really enjoyable game with a lot of great features.    … Expand

    I think Destiny is a beautiful game with very smooth controls. While I think Destiny isn't perfect I still can't put it down yet. If you expect this to be a shooter or be more of a loot game like Borderlands or Diablo you will be disappointed. It does seem to have an identity problem.

    I love seeing a new game that is trying to do something different. Destiny seems to be a great new IP and has a lot of potential for DLC can't wait to see what they do with 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]
