I'll admit that it does sound like it could be on the shorter side, but you guys must be f*ckin wizards with that controller if you're finishing the whole Earth in a little over an hour. Most missions took me 35-40 minutes and the Strike took over an hour.
If it true the game is shorter than what every thinks, well Destiny was intended to be some kind of episodic game that linked together a big story. So DLC is expected to fill the gaps until a Destiny 2 comes out in maybe 2 years.After confirming that Old Russia is the extent of Earth's map, Bungie's David "DeeJ" Dague explained. "You go to Mars, you go to the Moon, you've got Venus, and you've got Earth." When pressed if there were locations outside the solar system he responded, "Not so far, We've revealed everything that you'll explore in the first version of the game.". He goes on to add that the game is the largest Bungie has made to date and they plan to extend the game well beyond release. I imagine Activision has an extensive plan to support this game through DLC and its planitary structure lends itself very well to this.

Destiny's 6 player raids can only be played with friends, no matchmaking.

Bungie bills this as a MMO type of game and then locks out the social element of being able to make new friends to game with.
Strikes are quite different to raids though. Raids with require communication to succeed, much like trials on ESO I guess. I would hate to have a couple of no talkers in a full blown raid,.Very disappointing. When I played the strike in the beta I was paired with 2 randoms and though we died quite a bit and no one talked to each other, we still got through it and it was fun.
Ok so raids and strikes are two different things? I was thinking they were the same. Good to know.Strikes are quite different to raids though. Raids with require communication to succeed, much like trials on ESO I guess. I would hate to have a couple of no talkers in a full blown raid,.
It's a strange decision. Bungie are saying that Raids are very hard and will require all 6 players to work effectively together, and so for that reason raids will have no match making. So what happens when you only have one or maybe two friends playing the game? From the sounds of it, 2 players won't be able to either play these or beat these? Sounds like total BS to me.
Exactly, man. Its hard to get two or three dudes on at the same time to game with let alone five. And if the Raids can't be completed without a full team that means Raids will be locked out to many players. I'm really disappointed with this decision and I hope Bungie reverses themselves.
Will it even let you in if you don't have 6 people? I usually play with three other guys. Are we going to be shut out because we're 2 people short?
Why not give us an option? Trying get get a bunch of people together all at the same time is no easy thing when we are all married, have kids, work full time, a some going to school. A matchmaking system would be very nice, even if you success rate is low, shouldn't still be choice? I would rather try and fail then not have the option at all
It's a bit of a risk," Bungie writer Luke Smith told IGN. "Because the activity requires you to have a group of five other friends to play with...
Interesting article. I'm interested to see how well Destiny can hold up after the main campaign is complete.That's seriously if that's the case.
