There Seems To Be A Misconception About The Menu System
Bungie said that there will be no menu. Some people have taken this as no start up menu and others no in-game menu (like the ones in Halo that would show you "Leave Game" and such). We have seen both a type of option/startup menu as well as an in-game inventory screen. I am going to assume that Bungie meant an in-game menu since there is no option for that on the PS4 and X1 controllers (no Start button anymore). I'm sure they will make it work.
This is not confirmation about the menu system. Everything is speculation. Destiny is still in its early stages so things will change and change again. Bungie makes the final call (but they like our good opinions).
The player editing/inventory doesn't count as a pause/in-game menu since the game continues.
Ad astra.

I think the menus will be streamlined and lore based. I.e. as others have said there is no pause -> quit game -> matchmaking lobby -> big team battle. Instead you'll summon your personal spacecraft -> dock at the tower -> set a flight path for faction war grounds area. They will functionally be menus, but they'll be more immersive.

1 ReplyRevised, from looking at the menu there are The City: Probably exploration and just going out in the world to complete tasks and PvP against enemies/other players. Campaign: well... Campaign as usual Bounty: Maybe a daily (appears to be a timer below the title) challenge to finish a short mission, the mission may be assigned through bounty and is then completed in the world(accessed through The City) Strike: maybe a small grouped raid

no in game menu since the game world is alive all the time.

Just now thought of it, I think there will be a loading screen, there will be a menu Ingame to do different things. You will always be placed in the world with many other players also in the same world as you, a menu accessed while Ingame to play Campaign, etc. Then again Campaign might be played while at the risk of being shot by another player, sort of an FFA world campaign(isnt very likely in my mind but sounds interesting)

I think that picture kind of sums it up well, there will be menus, but they will be simplified, and your always in the world. There is no, let me leave the game to go to a competitive multiplayer menu or load up the campaign. There are still menus when necessary, but they will never take you entirely out of the Destiny Universe to do things. As far as start up goes, I don't know. Last years Need for speed on start up just dumped you into the world. So it may just dump you into your ship, or the last city when you start the game.

Thanks for clarifying, it's sad how that was one of the first things we knew about Destiny, but the newer peeps weren't here to soak up those precious bits of info. :/

2 RepliesThey still have a start button they just call it something else.

3 RepliesAlso we've seen a character menu of sorts, with avatar, inventory, and settings tabs.

There are definitely going to be some type of menus in the game.
