    Vague, incomprehensible and requires you to spend months 'researching' what the f*ck you have to do to get anything to actually happen.
    A game that doesn't provide any information on the incomprehensible currencies, missions and mystical bollocks that are rammed in without explanation makes for a rather dull and pointless experience.

    I took the game back after a few days as I was losing the will to live - and endless web sites that pointed me to Reddit and the like to get snippets of information did not exactly help.
    Avoid like the plague if you're looking for entertainment (which is supposedly the point of a game isn't it?).

    I used to love Destiny as it was fun and exciting even challenging. Now with the ignorant expansion and all the changes 1. Year 1 gear/guns = worthless. 2. raid guns worthless. 3. Same old crap different flavor. 4. Take away one of the best additions (SRL). 4. Reward system is total crap.

    Now let's move onto the PvP portion. I have never seen a worse game to play pvp since gaming    I used to love Destiny as it was fun and exciting even challenging.

Reward system is total crap.

    Now let's move onto the PvP portion. I have never seen a worse game to play pvp since gaming was invented. p2p connectivity is totally **** up. Players lagging into walls, not taking damage, can't kill them, snipers that NEVER miss even though they are getting plastered with bullets, characters blinking only to shoot you with sheer perfection while in mid air.... Trials is possibly the worst of the worst. Since this is a peer to peer connection it is inevitable that during the required 7 games (with boons) you must win for lighthouse you are going to run into the lagging, cannot kill, bullets seem to be made out of cotton, of course they are incredible 2 shot you with any gun any where on the map. Sniping you headshot EVERY time even though you hit them first.... Before you think I am full of **** I have been flawless several times (how I have no idea). I have been 7-0 or 8-0 at least 100 times then run into the above type teams usually from mexico or uk that no matter what seem to be wearing bullet proof vest and carrying 2 shot kill weapons each match. Try as you may there is no killing them. Doctrine of Passing (which of course they nerfed to not piss off mida and last word users) usually takes about half a clip to kill someone if you are decent but when facing above team 2 doctrine's empty clips into the same player and you MIGHT get his initial health bar off but kill him hell NO....
    Then there is regular crucible or Iron Banner which is basically the same thing as trials with all the damn lag oh but wait there are now 6 guys you cannot kill but 2 shot you. Wait for it.... Get on the right side of the connection now you have become the beast you thought you were killing everyone and wrecking it. Don't get excited you are just on the lag team and next match your mida, pdx45, sniper, DoP well they just caught a case of cotton rounds.
    Play pvp long enough and you will be just like me unless of course you are one of the lucky ones that always seem to be on that side of the connection or fortunate enough to not get stuck in a foreign lobby. **** bungie sitting in their test lab saying its all good. Oh the damage referee is dead but more likely they lied to us again it never existed. If so then why did I just shoot this warlock 4 times with an invective, melee him 5 times and stick a grenade to him while he is walking into a wall or even better magically appear behind you and 1 or 2 shot you... I will NEVER play pvp again, they have progressively made it worse and worse and worse and worse...    … Expand

    After the third expansion Destiny is the same “random loot generator” it has always been, just with some more story in between. [12/2015, p.62]

    Always troubled but brilliant, now simply brilliant, Destiny has undergone an extraordinary change. It still demands your time, but the reward is one of Xbox's most well-rounded games. [Dec 2015, p.67]

    If you’re willing to do the social networking and accept the time commitment that Destiny requires to reach its endgame content, you’ll be treated to the first massively multiplayer online game built around the core of first-person shooter gameplay, a unique entry in the world of video games, and a growing universe where you and your fellow Guardians are all that stand between the Light, humanity’s last hope, and the Darkness that threatens to wipe us out forever.
