I came here for an online RPG with story!!

Destiny was built from the ground up around the crucible, that is the why people buy games like this. No one buys call of duty for the single player (some do, most don't). So Bungie did what any logical company would do and actually created the multiplayer as the main game where the campaign is an excuse to have a digital hangout/playground. Destiny's single player campaign is shallow why? Because it isn't the main event, it isn't an RPG, it isn't even an MMO. No all Destiny is is a shared world experience. To me this made no sense, until I realized that the reason I love Destiny so much is because I bought it for the PvP experience not the mmorpg style gameplay. As far as I am concerned the single player is just passable enough to wanna play with people online doing challenges hanging out having a beer on a "digital couch". If I had bought this game for a deep RPG experience I too would be pissed! But it turns out I bought it for the PvP because I loved the way that Halo felt on a controller. Halo is the only fps game I have ever played (now Destiny). That I actually prefer holding the controller when I play it rather than wishing I had a mouse and keyboard set up. Yes call of duty did a good job copying Halo's controls but call of duty still feels better on a mouse and keyboard set up. Whereas Halo and Destiny controls were designed around someone holding a controller. Anyone who played Halo 1 on pc knows what I am talking about, the controls just feel strange on mouse and keyboard you keep wanting more movement speed (not look speed). Destiny is the evolution of the fps genre where we spend most of our time playing the online part but still want to have a single player campaign when we spend 60 dollars on a game. Destiny creates a game world built around supporting the crucible. So in closing the best way to think about Destiny is that it was destined around the PvP crucible where the campaign supports the PvP. Unlike how games used to be built. Destiny's biggest problem is the voice communication, the story is meant to be fleshed out in expansions (rotten dirty trick if you ask me). Destiny campaign 5/10, Destiny multiplayer 9/10, and Destiny full experience... PURPOSEFULLY unfinished to allow us the community to help them direct the game or OUR Destiny.

  • Looks like the mass market came here for the hype of the story while the Halo fans came here for the PvP? I just want to say that I enjoy the single player experience but if I bought the game because of that I am honestly disappointed, but I didn't so it makes little difference to me. I would also like to say that it is a crying shame that there wasn't more done with the release build of this game. Where is the 8v8 or 12v12? Why not take PvP to the Cosmodrome and do an epic Battlefield style PvP mode?
