    At first start the game is fairly dull. Having to fight through the monotonous story mode until you reach level 20 is not fun at all. But once you hit lvl 20 the game becomes amazing. The ability to use and buy unique weapons and armor is very fun. Also I like the fact that weapon drops are completely random, it makes getting a good weapon that much more special.

Everything looked great...everything felt great. And then I ran into the dome, the wall that surrounded the deceptive existence of the game. Re-playability became monotonous. Character uniqueness was all but vacant as I developed. Everything was wake up, go to work, go home.

    The whole time I did this process, Activision was laughing in their sky office as they let me pretend I was playing a long-term title. The only thing that is long-term in Destiny are the same models and areas used for just about everything. The end game is horrible..even as they add raids and missions. DLC is another term for "same old crap" in Destiny.

    It started as a wonderful life...that quickly became a hollow waste of time and money.    … Expand

    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.
    Bungie, I expected greater from you.
    Activision, stop ruining games to maximize profits.

    A great choice for mmo and rpg fans. While it does get repetitive and the story is downright boring, the graphics and visuals are amazing. As well as the vast amount of player customization and playing with your friends is always fun.

    Destiny is an ok game at most with a poor campaign and uninspiring level design. It looks incredible though, with beautiful looking planets and solid gun play keep it from being awful. Activison are clearly going to spam DLC out like there's no tomorrow.

    The graphics and sounds are great. However, the game is non balanced, the story is bad explained, the pvp mode sucks a lot with boring maps and the game is very short. Also, the game is full of bugs.

    I bought this game for the XB360 the day it came out and I've got it for the XB1. Its one of my favourite games, simply because it controls well, gameplay is good, graphics are good. The best part is playing with other people online and sharing the love of the game together.

    However after a long time of playing it, it does get a little repetitive, especially the story mode. Once you have completed the story it gets a lot better, when you reach level 16 you can play Strikes with people online, for example with friends or randoms.

    If you buy the DLC you can get loads of brilliant, good looking armour and weapons. Making your guardian your own is one of the best things, you can make them whatever colour you want by getting different shaders etc.

    Overall I think it is definitely worth buying, especially if you're into First Person Shooters and that kind of thing.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When I first played the Destiny beta, I had high hopes for this game. It looked great, and the area that was available on earth was spread out into large open areas, while also having some close quarters areas.

    That led me to decide to buy it soon after launch. What I found out after putting some time into the game was that I might have been better off giving Shrek a spare key to my home. While the earth area seemed cool in the beta, It turned out that Bungie had taken the earth map, and colored it different colors to make the other worlds, then took a hyateus to spend some time jerking off to cortana pictures in a claw foot bathtub filled with money from the Halo series.

    I could go on for paragraphs about destiny, but ill sum it up in a list of "The Top 10 Things You Should Know About Destiny Before You Buy" (Yeah, yeah, I know, we have all seen too many top ten lists on the internet already, but i promise this one wont be filled with adds for Buzzfeed)

    !. As I said earlier, the maps are basically re-skinned versions of each other. Here are some examples:
    EARTH: Mainly open tundra with some easy enemies and airplane/ship parts scattered around.
    MARS: Red version of earth. Also has morbidly obese enemies and wrecked buildings.
    VENUS: Earth that let its pubes grow to long. Jungle-ish area that looks like it just held a convention for people who like Battlestar Galactica, and everyone dressed up as cylons.

    2. It takes way too much grinding to level up.
    The way you level up is by obtaining some 420Swag armor that gives you the points needed to level up when wearing it. The problem is that the equipment you get is in no way related to how well you do in missions. For example, you could be doing a raid with friends and be racking up clips for your N0Scop3 montage and have a 9000/1 KD ratio. But when the prizes are handed out at the end of the mission, your buddy who sniffed a little too much glue in middle school get the game's equivalent to the Nobel peace prize, while you are stuck with a dead raccoon tainted with chlamydia ..

    3. Online PvP Multiplayer (the crucible) kinda sucks
    To give credit where credit is due, bungie knows how to do multiplayer. The success of Halo in both public and competitive settings is a testiment to that. Thats why I was confused with bungie's deciision to appoint Hellen Keller as the new head of the multiplayer devision of destiny. The end product of that poor decision is a multiplayer mode that feels like a bad knockoff of the halo style of multiplayer. It looks pretty from a far, but it is definitely far from pretty. The whole experience of getting online to pwn some scrubs seems totally lack luster and devoid of any true soul or passion. It doesn't commit any cardinal sins of gaming but it also doesn't have anything to call it's own. If you want to play some quick andeasy multiplayer, pick up call of duty. It you want fast paced competative action, play CSGO. And If you want larger maps and some vehicles, play Battlefield.

    4. In the fine print it says you will get robbed of all your money.
    When the game released, you could buy the "Expansion Pass" for $35 which includes expansion #I: The Dark Below, and #II: The House of Wolves. Each expansion sells for $20 seperately. By now we are all used to the DLC buisnes strategy. It involves releasing paid content that is supposed to further the experience over time. Most companies also release a season pass or expansion pass which will entitle to all of the upcoming dlc for the game at a slightly discounted price than buying each one seperately. There are two major issues with how destiny does dlc. The first is that it was found out that some of the content in the expansions was originally to be included in the game but was cut out in favor of charging more. The second thing is that the people who shelled out to get the game and the expansion pass are getting reamed a new one my bungie. Bungie anounced a while ago that they are adding another dlc which wont be included in the supposedly all inclusive expansion pass. This means that those who bought the pass at launch expecting to be set on dlc content for the rest of the game's life cycle also have to shell out an aditional 40 doll hairs if they want to get the "full destiny experience" (Dont worry, this will be the last hidden and over priced. DLC...... hopefully). Oh, and all the DLC;s in the past have added were a couple missions and a small hand full of top tier guns and armor which you are never going to have enough luck to recieve in the game anyways.

    Now, despite all the stuff ive been saying about destiny, it is nowhere near the worst game I have played. It manages to retain some redeeming qualities through it's well done mechanics and great CoOp aspects. I found that I had the most fun celebrating the defeat of a difficult boss with friends

    ...which Immediately turned into cursing when we find out that we got jack **** for loot.

    My personal belief with video games is that the game should be good without any DLC's, they are just bonuses if you really enjoyed the game, you should have a great gaming experience from the game it'self. Well that's not the case in Destiny, The game it'self is a single afternoon experience, if you want to add more to it you are going to have to buy the expansions.

Well that's not the case in Destiny, The game it'self is a single afternoon experience, if you want to add more to it you are going to have to buy the expansions. If you haven't realized by now, THE WHOLE GAME IS A FINANCIAL SCAM. As this review was published, Xbox Live is offering a deal of $59.99 with the game and all the Expansions available, but a game get's the full judgment during launch, and with this game during launch you would have to pay over $100 to get the full experience. Enough said about the financial scam, let's talk about the game it'self. The game starts when your character gets revived after maybe a few hundred years ( they never explain ) you get revived by your new companion, a small robot that calls himself a ghost who will maybe give you a little help, and also someone who will get you killed almost every time. The game takes place during the aftermath of a war against aliens, you become a guardian and your objective is to save the remaining people from the aliens, along with all the other players who purchased the game. I apologize if I'm wrong is just that the game doesn't explain the story well. After a 4 hour adventure trying to find "The Black Garden" you finally start your adventure, only if you have the season pass. And if you do, get ready for an endless grinding adventure. You'll be better off with another shooter game.… Expand

I will admit that the raids and strikes are fun when playing with friends but that is it really. My main con with this game is the story. Missions are repetitive as it just scanning objects whilst killing enemies and the planets that you visit just feel empty and lifeless. One last thing, the fact that they cut out most of the game for DLC is absolutely ridiculous and the fact that you need DLC to progress with the game is just pathetic.
    To sum it up, Destiny is a very average game that is occasionally fun but it is not enough to bring me back for a sequel.

    -Repitive mission structure- Go to point A, scan this, defend point, point B and repeat with the occasional boss
    - Loot system is poorly done, as you can get rare or even common weapons after decrypting an epic or even a legendary
    - Reused and recycled enemies that look the same
    - Reused and recycled gun designs (apart from the exotics but poor you if you try to go for those)
    - Grinding for days
    - Bosses are usually just bullet sponges that can take heaps of damage. Also if you die, the boss gets all it's health back while all the ammo you used (that includes heavy and special ammo) isn't refunded back to you.
    - 'Expansion' packs galore, adding in what should have been in destiny at release. But what would you expect from activision?
    - Hardly anyone playing multiplayer. I spent like 45 minutes trying to find a match and didn't find one. So multiplayer is dead, at least in the Xbox one.

    I don't hate this game. It has its fun moments, and it is fun teaming up with other players in missions. It just isn't what it could've been, which is a shame.

Destiny is a good game, but it is nothing compared to the breathtaking adventure that was Halo. Firstly, the story quickly becomes underwhelming after its seemingly promising concept and premise, missions feels highly repetitive to the point where it becomes a bore, and content wise the game doesn't offer much for you to have the full experience (unless you want to pay extra for the DLC expansions). On a positive note though, the graphics and soundtrack are superb, gameplay mechanics work very well for a first-person shooter, and the landscapes and scenery are downright gorgeous. Unfortunately, you'll soon find out that the world is a facade, as it soon feels lifeless and mundane. In conclusion, Destiny is a good title that you are likely to enjoy if you wish to experience it, but don't expect to be blown away the same way you were with the Halo franchise.… Expand

    Bungie came back in full force with a game that was fun, easily addicting, and so great for all the years they put into making it.

The overall controls of the game are fine, and the actual weapon mechanics work fine, but its just over too quick, and unless you want to shell out $50+ 6 years after launch for the DLC, its not worth getting.… Expand

    It was a great new IP for the time. Even lacking the single-player campaign, the game was fun to play.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Multiple reviews I read here are very crazy mixed/negative reviews. About the game, I loved playing the game. I hated the unbalanced PvP but I do not think any supers or gears should be removed. I hated the feeling I got while thinking someone else said the supers and some gears should be removed. I disagree with what many people say about this but I am just not going to type more words about their thoughts about the game and the features of the game. Too bad the Destiny 2 PvP is very unbalanced. I feel like everything else or almost everything else about the game is very good. The activities are repetitive but very fun. I started playing Destiny about five years ago and I still love playing the game.… Expand

    destiny's a great game, the campaign just feels way too linear for me to give this an 8
    the pvp is really good with friends and it's just plain awesome. really fluid and smooth. so that's making me give it an 8

    Man i remember this game so much, it was such a good game. The story, the gameplay, the crucible, the strikes, the missions, everything was perfect. It never became boring even after finishing the story, D2 is a good game still but it cant compare to this masterpiece

    The game isn't often the problem. Destiny is a huge pile of trash but other people are hell. If its not PVP sweats its raid groups. The 4/10 isn't for destiny its for the human race.

    Destiny strives in crafting beautiful and immersive environments, and hooking you with addictive and satisfying combat. The problems with this game lie in the lackluster writing, lack of any intriguing characters or story, and basic and repetitive missions. The grind is also only fun for so long, and it tends to get old quick.

    Este juego le ha hecho mucho daño a la industria del videojuego por querer hacerlo como servicio, algo que ahora muchas empresas hacen y terminan muy mal. Gracias, maldito Destiny

    So say there is [almost] no story whatsoever… those people are correct… there’s actually a story behind what happened and explains you you need to know about why to stay away from it… Boo forced multiplayer & macrotransactions galore

    Considered a 4/10 (was 3/10) but the insult of going from Halo to letting it rot while dropping this p.o.s. on us then dEsTiNy poo is just a slap in the face    So say there is [almost] no story whatsoever… those people are correct… there’s actually a story behind what happened and explains you you need to know about why to stay away from it… Boo forced multiplayer & macrotransactions galore

    Destiny has always given me good memories. I loved the multiplayer component. I should replay it.

    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]
