    When the game first came out I could not have been more excited for Bungee was working on this game for years. Yet, to my utter disappointment, the game was incredibly short and I completed it within 24 hours of buying it. The game was simply not complete and was designed to make money. Overall a game with incredible potential that could not have been worse.

Also given the huge melee attacks and your chars difficulty in defending or providing any substantial offence, dying is an inevitability ( no issue there thats how people learn ) but respawning each time at the start again, makes this game tiresome.
    2: NPC interaction, awful it's like it was thrown together at the last minute as an after thought as there is little to no interaction leaving you wondering what you're doing in game and for what overall purpose. This for me prevented any kind of linking to the char I played and I've tried Titan Hunter and Lock, still same result.
    I'd list more issues or review it high end but to be honest this is one of the games that's going back on the shelf and I've given it around 20hrs playtime and with that kind of time, I'd of connected with it by now as opposed to wishing I'd not bothered in the first place.

    This game could have been great but then came the dlc and then more dlc and more. Then the partnerships with other companies. To top it all off the story was once much better than the repetitive crap that is in the game now.

    As of this writing, I've come to my senses and have realised Destiny is a bunch of crock. Let me explain exactly why.

The DLC's plots are equally as thin. Gameplay: 2/10. Destiny, while fun at first,    As of this writing, I've come to my senses and have realised Destiny is a bunch of crock. Let me explain exactly why.

    Story: 1/10. Destiny offers very little explanation to certain game elements while in-game, and the fact that you have to go online to access Grimiore cards is a complete hack. The DLC's plots are equally as thin.

    Gameplay: 2/10. Destiny, while fun at first, degenerates into a boring grind that isn't good nor is it fun. Getting higher ranked armour from hard missions or multiplayer is damn near impossible, and the rewards for one gets for completion are really underwhelming. Missions are a chore as well; you can visit the same locations in three or more different missions, all lacking variety. Enemies in these locations all have the same function. "Oh, this one shoots magic! This one shoots bullets!" is probably all you'll say before you begin to notice the lack of variety and get really, REALLY bored playing. New missions for you to complete are as hard as they come. With the rarity of some much-needed armour that levels you up to the proper rank to play later missions, you have no other choice then to play on the "hard" difficulty, which is, more often than not, extremely hard and a major turn-off. Enemies at this stage use every cheap tactic in the gaming book to keep you from progressing, and Destiny's **** "no respawn" zones just add to the frustration. Foes are equipped with all the clichés, up to but not limited to, one-hit kills, exploding with no warning, or overpowered weapons that severely damage the player character. Multiplayer also sucks. Have an awesome gun that's powerful but has a slightly slower fire-rate than you like? Better keep playing until you find a better weapon, because rapid firing weapons in multiplayer will destroy you (and quite possibly, your controller). The hub is also at first mesmerising, but also becomes lame when you realise how little there is to do besides do some stupid dance as a way to interact with someone. Once you've done a lot of stuff, there will be absolutely nothing here for you to do until you get grinding. That's absolutely horrid.

    Sound effects/Soundtrack: 6/10. While not as iconic as Halo's soundtracks, Marty O'Donnell's signature sound is still heard and extremely welcoming. Sound effects are the usual sci-fi grab-bag, but still good.

    Graphics: 9.5/10. The graphics are amazing even for the last-gen consoles. Your screen will be filled with all sorts of greens, reds, and blues, and you'll love it (until boredom sinks in, which should be in about an hour).

    Overall: 3/10. Nowhere near as iconic as Halo nor is it anywhere near as fun, Destiny is an overhyped clunker that you should stay far away from. Case in point: stick with the Halo series instead, Bungie screwed up big time on this one.    … Expand

    The best way to describe Destiny is a FPS with an MMO meta game. You are given a few missions to carry out in an anything-but-engaging campaign storyline. All in all, after blowing through the unfinished storyline (which you will have to buy the DLC for if you want to make any sense of it), all you are left with is grinding the same bosses over and over, or the crucible which is PvP.The best way to describe Destiny is a FPS with an MMO meta game.

All in all, after blowing through the unfinished storyline (which you will have to buy the DLC for if you want to make any sense of it), all you are left with is grinding the same bosses over and over, or the crucible which is PvP.

    The only time this game shines is in it's PvP, which is highly reminiscent of Halo. Instead of leveling up and picking classes and gear setup in the menus between matches like you would in Call of Duty, you are given an MMO feel to gear: Loot is randomly dropped. The guy who was afk half of the match is just as likely to get something useful as you are. Ultimately the classes you pick from (Titan, Hunter, and Warlock) pretty much play the same, except for their "special" attacks that you rarely can use. (Hunter doesn't get a jetpack either, but other than that my point stands.)

    With the exception of insanely difficult 6-man raids (which don't have matchmaking, so good luck getting 5 other people together), there isn't a single thing Destiny offers that Borderlands hasn't already done, and done better:

    4 player co-op? Enjoy Destiny's loading screens in-between every mission, which are by no means short. Or you could play Borderlands, which has a persistent world which only requires loading when you change areas.

    Like lots of loot? Destiny only offers a fraction of the possible weapons and armor that Borderlands does.

    Storyline? While the Borderlands dialogue is often silly, at least it exists. Destiny's storyline is basically non-existent, giving you no feeling of any emotion towards achieving your goals other than confusion and depression.

    Hype? This is the only category that Destiny beats Borderlands in. It's a shame the game was gutted and chopped into DLC pieces to drain your wallet further just to enjoy ONE campaign. I mean, even Call of Duty, which is practically the same game every year with different multiplayer maps, offers a competent campaign with plenty of Hollywood-esque action moments. With Destiny trying to be an MMO-FPS hybrid, you'd think you could at least get one full campaign, but you don't.

    If you enjoy playing a competitive shooter that feels like Halo, Destiny is fun. Just make sure you have at a minimum some purple/legendary weapons and equipment, or all the people who already have orange/exotics will kill you within 2 seconds 99% of the time.

    Or just buy Borderlands: The Pre Sequel. It's Borderlands worst entry, in my opinion, and still stands firmly above Destiny in terms of content, value, and fun.    … Expand

All you can do is replay the same missions over and over again just on a more difficult setting. The "bosses" that you encounter at the end of the strikes are just bullet magnets, it doesn't actually take any thought to take them down, all you do is shoot at them for an hour and run away every time they look at you. Boring. Fun! The first time you play it! But then... Boring.
    The campaign missions are also boring, they all tend to be anti-climatic and you don't really feel like you're doing anything that makes a difference, especially after you platy that campaign mission three times or more.
    This would all be fine if the weapons and multiplayer weren't disappointing. The weapons never really change until you start to unlock legendary weapons, but the game couldn't hold my attention long enough for me to get there. At the lower levels you unlock new weapons constantly but you pick it up and it looks and feels EXACTLY like the one you just had it just has two extra damage points. Disappointing.
    And the multiplayer! UGH! They spent all this time creating a "vast world that you'll want to revist" but all the multiplayer maps are tiny little arenas where you just run in circles and spray bullets. No tactics, no brains needed. Boring. Why don't they put players in the bigger maps and let them have at each other rather than cram them into tiny little rooms with obvious kill funnels. Just stupid.
    I'm just so disappointed with this game overall. Bungie said it was going to be a vast open world to explore, but once to get there you realize it's just a big empty space with a pretty background and very little actually happening. Games like Far Cry, Skyrim and GTA V are SO much better for a good story and an interesting world to explore. Multiplayer games like the Battlefield series do a much better job for a enjoyable multiplayer where you actually have to use your brain to do well.
    One star because although I did enjoy playing the game in the beginning, I feel cheated in the overall lack of content. Bungie really dropped the ball here, they hyped the game up well, made promises of a game you'll want to revisit time and time again, they created a setting with endless potential and then they fell flat on their faces. I'm not surprised the game has already gone down $10 in price.    … Expand

So yeah phone games are out to take your money and console games are the real deal???    This game is good on a multiplayer aspect but the luster goes away quickly...

    with this game i'm not sure anymore.

    I will say the mechanics of this game are tight however I feel like this game is unfinished. I really feel sorry for Peter Dinklage. People shouldn't rag on the guy, he was just getting paid to do a video game voice like many stars these days and the game has nothing to do with him as an actor.

    I guess if you like borderlands and halo then you would like this game. For me however I only liked borderlands when friends played with me otherwise it was boring and repetitive grinding..

    This game is an amateur MMO. It really couldve been a great game if they would've taken more time to finish it. I love some of the classes and how they work but once again I feel like they rushed to meet a deadline. On the xbox 360 there seems to be too many disconnect issues.

    Also I will not spoil anything but in a way its got that "dragon age" effect where they really push the DLC on you and to me feels the way a phone game feels to enjoy a game fully.

    I feel if they would've focused on true gameplay vs money grabbing the compulsive buyers then we would've seen a better user review here.

    I really wanted to like this game but for 60 dollars I will say I was glad to have played a friends copy instead of buying.

    Honestly with how they are working the DLC I will say wait till this game goes down to 20 bucks then maybe give it a chance or wait till they come out with the game and all DLC for a fair price because right now they are just wanting your money.

    I was really looking forward to Bungie going further than the halo universe but then again if you team them up with activision what else could you expect? I'd say the merger to make this game is an amateur copycat of how EA makes their games...

    Really disappointed....    … Expand

The game is frustrating with the complete lack of customer service and constant disconnections giving no explanation only the name of an animal. The story of the game is worse than lacking, and aside from the very short storyline which is beatable in hours and boring as all hell, all there is to do after is grinding tedious bounties or strikes. So if you are into playing the same mission over and over and over and over this may be the game for you. Destiny is just a genuinely terrible game. I've owned this game for two weeks now and I am literally about to try and return it. It is NOT worth $60.… Expand

    Destiny is a good FPS from Bungie. However, it isn't the definitive fusion between shooter and MMO we expected. Great gunplay, good enemy AI and full of content, but missions can get too repetitive and the endgame needs more variety of objectives.
