Destiny Reviews Thread

I thought the biggest knock on Destiny is its lack of content? Is that not true?

I haven't gotten the game yet. Still deciding if I want it.
 
Destiny offers more in content and you can do more in gameplay :p

thats what my point is, my whole point, you can have millions more gameplay options and thousand times more content, but it doesn't matter if the game isn't as good.
 
With all this Destiny trolling its safe to say you don't own Destiny.

Nope, but again you missed the point again...completely. I'll trade it even for something I have on craiglist or ebay is already 49.99 new


this game will drop fast I think, only a week later its $10 off
 
77% at metacritics! Probably the worst rated Bungie game in memory by a distance...
 
It’s the loot drops or lack thereof which is really hurting this game. Add a new gun or armor piece more frequently and see how much more time gamers pour into this game. It’s the perfect carrot to dangle in front of gamers to keep them playing. The problem is right now the frequency which gamers get some good loot in relation to the time spent getting said loot is way off balanced. This is common with loot based games when they first release. Look at Diablo 3 and how it took Blizz a little while to tweak the formula for loot drops. Bungie will do the same we just have to be patient.
 
Trolling Destiny response
Surprised

Not at all, but what you do with halo is ok? you have to be the biggest hypocrite on this forum. You just "say" you're a halo fan and its ok. I'm a destiny fan. ;)

Right, but even after you were told countless times you still trolled the game to death, you would think you got enough of it, halo has been around for years. Destiny has been out for a week by comparison so you can listen to everyone's "trolling" of the lowest scoring bungie game of all time. lol we've listened to you for years bring the halo series up in non related threads for no reason so get over being sensitive of a game you don't even own.
 
From the Eurogamer Review:

This, for me, is Destiny's raison d'être, its resounding justification. It's a systematically refined game, with superlative combat and intriguing progression that plays the long game. It's beautiful. It's a slow burner, perhaps dangerously so for the skittish console audience, although the prevailing winds in gaming - where social, persistent metagaming is king - are on its side. It's a sound competitive shooter that doesn't particularly stand out in a sea of strong competition. It's inscrutable and cold and heavy-handed, saddled with pompous lore, inept storytelling and undercooked mission design. It won't necessarily satisfy fans of Halo's rollercoaster campaigns. It could really use a sense of humour. And it initially appears to do nothing new beyond require an internet connection.

But in the white heat of the Strike playlists - or in Heroic mission runs with a friend, or in the unheralded arrival of a public event whilst tooling around in Patrol - Destiny blazes a clear trail through the middle of the desolate no man's land that, for years now, has segregated the bombastic emptiness of shooter campaigns from the frenetic slaughter of multiplayer. And it does so with a poise and depth that its few peers - games like the charming but scrappy Borderlands and Far Cry - cannot match; a poise and depth that will keep people playing it for years.


And that is just Destiny 1.....
