    So far I am really enjoying the game. It has a Warframe feel to it, but with more polished controls and better shooting mechanics.

Loot is delivered at a decent pace, enough to always feel like you are getting more powerful. I love how you can vendor items straight from your inventory. 6v6 matches are intense and varied, and the allowing of vehicles in the matches is fantastic! The art design is perfect in my opinion... Not over the top, but still breathtaking.

    The one major complaint I have is the lack of match making for PvE missions. You will run into people during your "quests", but for the most part they are doing their own thing and don't want to join you. They really need to add a mission/group board similar to PoE, allowing you to find/advertise for groups as needed. I know this is the number one feature requested by the community, so I expect it will come at some point.

    Another thing they need to implement is some form of main city chat. Either by voice or text. SO many people I can't talk to! Also, where is the clan support? It's on Bungie.com but seems to be disabled...

    I honestly think they have delivered a fantastic foundation and a truly fun game, and I hope they continue to build upon it. If they maintain an MMO content model with the only purchases past initial game as ~$10 DLC packs, then I am in for awhile.    … Expand

    I rated this game a 7 earlier. However, after spending a few more hours with it with a full party of friends i would have to rate it around an 8. The PVE is absolutely a blast to play with friends, especially on the hard modes.

    The PVP is fun, but it does need some tweaks and it could have really benefited from 60 fps.

    You are thrown in the game without much explanation and puzzle your own picture together in the 12 - 15 hours of storymode. Which is the biggest criticpoint of Destiny and was to expected to be, but not for the -in other reviews- stated reasons. You make your own story, the game was never intended to play like a Halo nor a Borderlands. You are one guardian of the city, one of many. So your character lacks the depth a few people were expecting. But there is not a single second in the game you don't feel as part of a larger struggle for riddled mankind to fight its way back to the golden age. Atmospheric, the Game is an absolute blast. From gorgeous graphics to the variety and appearance of enemy's to the deep, yet to be explored lore. Backed by martys ( he will be missed ) incredible music.
    The Game sucks you in its world so much that it leaves to much unanswered. The story feels to short for the big Universe which is its biggest weakness. It cries for more because you had so little interactions with other characters and you are left with so many questions. But Bungie could patch sidequests or unlock more story endgame as time goes on.

    As a level 20 you have everything what you see unlocked the game guides you no more and you are on your own. The Strike playlist lets you replay random strikes at 4 different difficulties ranging from normal which is quite challenging on its own up to hard and extremely hard difficulties which grant access to high end loot and vanguard points that can be invested in any legendary vanguard equipment back at the tower. Currently there seem to be 5 strikes all quite unique, all rewarding if you succeed.
    The Game never feels like a big grind which is a good thing if you don't like this mmo aspect its always rewarding because every enemy has the chance to drop engrammes that contain random loot from common to legendary.
    Crafting is a bit simplistic but never the less lets you many options for customizing your gun ( especially high end ones ) and upgrades can become expensive calling you to collect the ingredients or demontating your unneeded equipment for parts.
    The Guns all feel really good and fit in with the smooth gameplay which plays like a hybrid between halo 2/3 and MW 1/2 not to slow not too fast making it one of the best playing fps games in a long time.

    This especially shows in the crucible ( multiplayer ) when fighting other guardians. The game has a huge focus on skill, allowing a good sniper to dominate the map, even sniping drivers out of enemy vehicles. Map control is hugely important for controlling the crucial ammo spawns ( one guy with a loaded machinegun can turn a game ) and vehicles all off whom are balanced allowing for a easy flank or a blast to hell with your super.
    It also brings Halo like medals and complete gamestatistics all stored on bungie.net leaving only the wish / hope for some kind of theatre mode in the future to complete the experience.
    For people complaining the multiplayer is unbalanced, there seems to be some code in the game to negate your lvl advance and higher weapon damage so all play on a level playing field. As tested I have not seen a single unfair weapon each and everyone of the weapons you collect have drawbacks, some allow to compensate trough skill and allow for a quick kill.

    In Summary :
    positive:
    +Great Atmosphere / Immersion
    +Beautiful graphics
    +Smooth controls and flawless gameplay / weaponplay
    +Variety of enemy's and places
    +great multiplayer
    + 12 - 15 hours scratching on the surface of a deep universe
    + All game is playable with up to 2 friends
    + Challenging and rewarding content

    Negative:
    - Soundtrack is great but a bit repetitive
    - Storycharacters remain unexplored in large parts
    - Story has left way to many questions open
    - no bazillion gunz

    In Summary, its not an Mmo, its not Borderlands, its not Halo, its Destiny.
    It is primarily a sci-fi shooter with big lore potential and its massively fun to play with a small group of friends, or in multiplayer. The game was made to easily add contend in the future as of daily Updates or paid Dlc, remains to be seen. Its definitively no 0 (people so massively disappointed really should have played the Beta to get an Impression) and its not a perfect game at whole. But the Multiplayer and coop part come very close to that. In Addition comes the great Immersion of the game in general.

    All in all 8.5-9 / 10.    … Expand

I haven't yet explored the entirety of this title but as a separate entity its not a shooter that should be passed up. It offers a lot of solid gameplay time and adequate gun battles.

    the story is boring no real connection or emotion to get into your probably find yourself at times thinking about other things in life,it does very little to keep you hooked.

    the multiplayer is terrible you may find the first few kills entertaining but give it 10 mins your probably be thinking about better games to play.

    i paid £55 for this today on xbox one and the guy in the shop offered me to buy the expansion packs £35 DAY 1 LOL.this game clearly lacks content and they have the cheek to release day 1 DLC at £35

    Destiny is yet another game that was hyped for months yet fell flat on launch day.

    The lack of story is quite a disappointment considering how much Bungie is praised for Halo's deep tale. Okay, so a story is usually pretty bland in a MMO, that's understandable. I'd rather have a bland story than a nearly nonexistent one, however.

    The lack of story is quite a disappointment considering how much Bungie is praised for Halo's deep tale. Okay, so a story is usually pretty bland in a MMO, that's understandable. I'd rather have a bland story than a nearly nonexistent one, however. Nothing very interesting has happened so far (I'm about 6 hours in with a level 7 Titan). What exactly is our Traveler tasked with? Who or what is our stereotypical big bad boss? Are we supposed to be saving the universe or simply scrounge around for loot to make our Traveler look badass in his/her new gear?

    Gameplay is so repetitive that it's boring. Essentially every game has repetitive gameplay, of course, but nothing beats Destiny's wash, rinse, repeat method. As stated earlier, I'm ~6 hours into the game and all I've done is land on the moon for a new mission in the same spawn point, walk the same way, visit a different building (this was legitimately a shocker for me by mission 3), fight the same 3-4 enemy types, latch my Ghost onto some type of machine, protect said Ghost against a wave of enemies, kill a laughably stupid boss, and...that's it. Mission over. My reward? Another mission with the same objective...but this time the enemies are a level higher!

    The voice acting is atrocious. I don't need to elaborate any more on this. The background music is okay; it sort of reminds me of borderline strip club dubstep which is kind of weird. As far as other sounds and music are concerned, everything is fairly standard.

    Visuals is the area in which Destiny shines. The environments are absolutely gorgeous. Character customization was very well done. I also haven't noticed any armor clipping issues which I have to applaud.

    Enjoyment is something I think you'll get out of Destiny only if you have friends to play with. Both PvE and PvP leave you with a bad taste in your mouth if you don't have at least one other person to play with-- but ideally, your firearm team should include 2 other people for the best results. For those of us who prefer to play alone...well, don't expect to run in guns blazing. It's just not doable unless you're playing co-op.

    Overall opinion: You simply can't take a generic FPS and call it a MMO if you're not willing to add in elements that make MMOs enjoyable, and unfortunately, that's exactly what Bungie is trying to do. Every successful MMO has a variety of sidequests, some with heart-wrenching back-stories and wonderfully crafted characters who tell said stories. I still plan on finishing this game/reaching the max level in the hopes that endgame content will make up for what was delivered to us on day one. Hopefully I won't feel like I wasted my time after it's all said and done.    … Expand

    The game does seem repetitive but there is just so much you can discover and do its not supposed to be like any other story/rpg before. So comparing it another game is stupid, you should play this game to explore and do the missions slowly instead of plowing straight through them.

    As far as mechanics are concerned, Destiny is a very solid title. The problem is what those mechanics are used towards.

    The game world feels lifeless. Missions and zones feel highly repetitive. The story doesn't do a very good job of getting you hooked in.

    In short, the gameplay does feel quite solid, and its a title people can enjoy. People just need to have lower expectations.

    The missions are fun, but they are typical MMO (yes this is an MMO, not an MMORPG) go here kill that, find that, scan that, etc. Nothing super innovative but fun. The game looks great, no frame rate issues. The music is fantastic. You can coop w friends (not tried that yet) or you can run around and assist others or have them help you without being coop'd.

    The hype for this game definitely was of such proportions. The game doesn't stand a chance to live up to it. The missions are a disaster. They are all similar for example.

    It's a slick, mechanically sound, and lavishly produced shooter that uses beauty to try and mask the potentially great but uninspired gameplay inside. [Issue#117, p.62]

    Destiny feels like the key elements of an FPS and an MMO gently resting shoulder to shoulder, instead of being fused together in a truly creative way. It plays and looks great, and offers many, many hours of entertainment to anyone okay with repeating the same tasks, but it isn’t exactly the game-changing science fiction epic we felt it was aspiring to.

    An ambitious if repetitive combination of shooter and loot based ARPG. A boost in loot drop frequency could definitely boost the fun/score. [Issue#254, p.47]
