Face it,Destiny doesn't have "it", whilst being a good game, it lacks that certain quality that makes games like Halo, Mass Effect, Portal and many others stay in the memory for many years. Destiny will not be played religiously over half a decade from release like Halo 3 is, or like how Marathon still draws thousands after all this time, Destiny is not the new high point for Bungie, it's the core element that will allow them to rebuild and become the company they once were.
Hopefully Destiny will succeed, because that means a new Marathon, and that will heal Bungie and finally cast a bit of love The Flood's way. So, essentially Marathon>>>>>>>>>>>>Destiny

i love seeing quotes like : [quote]it lacks that certain quality that makes games like Halo[/quote] yea cuz halo was so in depth. it has a 1 play through campaign and a basic multiplayer? destiny has everything halo has plus more: progression ,weapons, armor, customization, etc. plus regardless if you like it or not the heroic and nightfall and raid is refreshable each week for chances to obtain rare loot. you can say its repetitive but thats how every mmo/arpg style game work. you grind areas of the game over and over for loot upgrades. halo lets you sign in and go into pvp and thats it.

Op can see into the future.

Popular, not very special. People will most likely play the heck out of it anyway. People like you and I need games with more depth. Destiny seems to be not that. It's a pure action game.

Popular but not special... Like your mom

I'm guessing this is troll bait? But if not: your loss that you can't grasp how fun and addicting this Shooter-RPG is. I always ended up coming back to Halo's Firefight over the years; it's shooter mechanics are very addictive. But my stays were only momentarily. Once I got it my fix, there wasn't much else keeping me there. Destiny solves this with an open world and a character progression system. Maybe you just don't enjoy the 'numbers, skills, and bars to fill up' that goes along with RPG's?

It's very special to me and my family so you can shut up
-
Yeah, guess your right. The MOST PRE-ORDERED GAME IN HISTORY doesn't make it special. [spoiler]Go play cods cookie cutter games asswipe[/spoiler]

Special to me
-
It's popular AND special right now!

You know what ... you may be right. But it's impossible to tell you as my crystal ball is at the shop getting a recharge.

[quote] Mass Effect,[/quote] but Mass Effect stays in the mind because it's so bad, not because it has quality

9/10 Good job rattling the cages. The underthebridge hash was a nice touch.

Time will tell, I think to the newer generation of gamers it's going to be very special.

I don't know why you think it's not on par with Halo or even better. You haven't even played the friggin' game... And if you think it lacks the "it" factor, it may be just you, but from playing the Alpha I could already feel the quality and care they took creating this awesome game. It's also one part to create a gaming world, the other part will be (just as Bungie have said countless times) the times people enjoy themselves and create its' culture, and after a few years they have the recall flash and tradition and blabla. You get it... :)

Edited by TheArtist: 9/8/2014 11:52:32 AMYou're like those golf and baseball fans who always argue that the "greatest" players are always in the past. The only "certain" qualities that Destiny is missing are *nostalgia* and "euphoric recall*.
-
No it won't be special... It will be legendary and on a whole new level.

Edited by Dingse3: 9/8/2014 6:12:24 PMInteresting Perspective...just remember that's what it all is. You aren't talking *facts* here because things are so personal and different experiences or outlooks will be had by each and every player that plays this game! Understandable about your point, and would probably agree on several individual points, but fortunately I disagree with it as a whole! Bring on Destiny!..bring on the *IT* factor.

But halo lost [i]it[/i] when 343 took over.
-
Any game that lets me play through story mode with friends is special in my books. I didn't play any of the halo campaigns solo only with friends. If I ever find the time, completing raids with my friends will be even greater, if they are as hard as people claim they will be, it will feel like completing left 4 dead campaigns on expert with friends.
-
You failed by naming Halo 3.... Halo CE> 2 > Rest If anything the alpha/beta alone seems to have left that mark on gamers. Sorry you don't feel the same....

lel under the bridge, good one.

Are you -blam!-ing slow ? [spoiler]it's a serious question[/spoiler]

Sir, I don't value your opinion and I think your views are toxic.

I disagree with you. Never heard of marathon so couldn't be that good.
