   People complain that there is nothing innovative, but haters are going to be haters. While most the features have been done before, they've never been done before in a single game and been with this amount of polish. People also complain that the questing system is a lot of "fedex,got to X, kill Y, etc etc." What game isn't? What defines a game is how they implement it and whether or not the combat is fun enough to entertain you as you do it. This game does both perfectly. Whether I'm repeating the campaign (which is more like a prologue than a full story) or in explore mode, the tasks are fun wreck everything in-between.
   
   The class system is also unique and entertaining. Each class has a distinct feel about them as you unlock their unique abilities.
   
   Best of all, no bugs. No glitches. No server lag or queues. This is by far the best launch I've ever been apart of. No issues at all and 20+ hours of playtime so far.
   
   The uniqueness to this game is that you are part of one large mega-server and can play with anyone worldwide. I do this often as part of a global clan. The experience in fireteams is alot better than solo as well. Bungie has been kind enough to make joining an leaving other your friends' fireteams seamless. Go to friend list, select to join a friend in game, and you're in their fireteam and teleported to right next to them. They don't even have to confirm it.
   
   All those pre-orders aren't wrong. People pre-ordered after enjoying the beta. This game if anything is "under" hyped for such a huge game. Yet, here I am just getting started. Bungie is just getting started too with a 10 year contract and a $500 million dollar budget to support the game in that 10 years. I am excited to be part of this game from day 1 as it grows into a global phenomenon. And all these haters? I bet the majority of them will be playing with me. Some people just want to be the critics for which - nothing - is ever good enough.
   
   See you in-game.… Expand

   Level 24 about 40 hours in and still loving it. Unlike others I didnt make up false expectations of this game just to be disappointed. ThisLevel 24 about 40 hours in and still loving it. Unlike others I didnt make up false expectations of this game just to be disappointed. This game reminds me of a shooter version of Vanilla World of Warcraft. I really dont get why Skyrim, Every Cod, and Maddenall get great scores when there hasnt been anything new to do in a decade, while there is no other game or experience like Destiny's right now. Who cares about a garbage Cod story, ill take Destiny's over any game out right now. Only gets a 9 because guilds are not done in game but on the Destiny site.… Expand

The game plays well with no noticeable glitches and while the campaign is short compared to Halo, there is some replay-ability if you up the difficulty level. The graphics are amazing at times, especially looking off-world, but at the same time the worlds are a bit generic, drab and lack character. The enemies AI seems to ramp up as you move through the game, but on normal it never seems overwhelming. The multi-player maps are disappointingly small and there is nothing new or ground breaking in the combat system. Overall the game was over-hyped and I feel let-down knowing that the game can be beaten so fast, therefore I do not anticipate playing this after a few months like a true AAA game.… Expand

   Destiny is Halo meets Call of Duty meets Gears of War. Somewhere in there it took the negatives and left out the positives. The multiplayerDestiny is Halo meets Call of Duty meets Gears of War. Somewhere in there it took the negatives and left out the positives. The multiplayer matchmaking isn't balanced and is terrible for beginners. But that's not why I bought the game. I bought the game for a massive Co-Op campaign. Destiny fails because there is no way to communicate with others. So I run around and see people killing things in front of me. Should I join them? Should I awkwardly wait until they're done and the enemy has respawned so I can play too?
   
   Also, story. Where is it? I don't even know what orders to play the story in.
   
   Destiny has SO much potential, if I could just talk to people and make fireteams easier I'd give it an 8. If there was any kind of story.... it would be so good. I would be happy if they shut the server down for a couple months and fixed their game.… Expand

   Destiny had so much potential. The concept for Destiny was great, actually (only if one liked the grind). But Bungie decided to release anDestiny had so much potential. The concept for Destiny was great, actually (only if one liked the grind). But Bungie decided to release an unfinished game and mark it at full price. Not to mention vanilla Destiny was a year long beta.
   
   Lets do some math real quick:
   
   Assuming the player bought the expansion pass**
   
   Destiny: $60
   Expansion pass(included Dark Below and House of Wolves): $30 (save $10)
   Taken King: $40
   
   So to actually have full access to Destiny, someone had to spend $130 or $140 if one didn't buy the expansion pass. That makes no sense. $130 could have bought two full priced games. It seems that Bungie is only worried about money.
   
   Other than Destiny being a very expensive game- the story or campaign doesn't exist. It's literally the same mission with slightly different environments. The character waits for the Ghost to open a door that just happens to take three(3)*waves of enemies to open. The raids are kind of what saves the game. Just for the fun factor though.
   
   So basically, Destiny is an expensive unfinished game that requires the user to buy the DLCs to play the game properly.
   
   Breakdown:
   
   Story/Campaign: +0/2 (Story is extremely unclear)
   Graphics: +2/2 (Very futuristic and crisp)
   Mechanics: +2/2 (Every mechanic works great. Rare frame rate drops. Little to no lag most of the time)
   DLC: +0/2 (only because the DLC is basically required)
   Matchmaking: +0/2 (Some weapons are incredibly overpowered than others- like shotguns)
   
   Total: +4/10… Expand

   The reason I registered on this page... I just had to tell everyone to stay away from this big steaming pile of ****
   It's really sad, becauseThe reason I registered on this page... I just had to tell everyone to stay away from this big steaming pile of ****
   It's really sad, because this game had and has so much potential... Graphics are cool imho, Fights are nice (AI is stupid, but that's nothing uncommon in FPS...)and the artwork and design of the world is sweet.
   But then there are some design decisions, that no sane person could seriously make.
   For example, the PvP mode is just bad. There are literally thousands of fps out now with better PvP than this. It just feels random and unbalanced, like something an Indie dev team would make in like 4 weeks...
   Those stupid raids, where you need 5 other mouthbreathers to _just_start_ this thing. And pray to god nobody drops out or that anyone is in the mood to tell you noob how this works (why haven't you read the guid?!)...
   I mean seriously... I've played more complex things with only chat communication and random players. But Bungie (or whoever is in charge) tells me "you need to meet those people in some lobby or via facebook, collect some malware on the way and don't make any friends, because our community is only consisting of terrible people"
   
   But the real reason for giving this game 0/10: it is a big sham!
   
   There is a ton of dlc, but no really addition of gameplay... They just drop in a few new items and make your precious old gear useless (really useless, just throw it away... seriously!) They promised a story, that never came. I don't know what the **** is going on in this game. Why are we fighting? Who is the enemy? Why are there different fractions?
   
   I could go on like this for a while, but I already wasted hundreds of hours on this game and I have to live on now... you should also do that!… Expand
