Honestly, I love the game. The story was bittersweet and dominating the crucible is fun and worth hours of constant play with friends. Despite being quite a polished game (gameplay wise) I can't help but feel so restricted in any progress. I played for many hours through 2 days and suddenly I can't progress any more until the week is over... Glimmer maxes at 25,000, you can only get 100 crucible/vanguard points every week and only hold a maximum of 200 at any time, and daily/weekly missions aren't as rewarding as you would expect them to be. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Now, I understand that this system would prevent players from afk farming strikes/crucible (which many players still do and still get undeserved great gear) or just anyone from playing so much and out farming/dominating players that play fewer hours per week, but is it really necessary? If I want to play so many hours a week, I want to reap the rewards of my efforts. If I'm going to play a lot, I want it to be reflected not only in my achievement/grimoire score but also in my collected mass of glimmer/marks/gear. If you can afford and own all the guns in the vanguard store after farming for 24 hours straight, more power to you. Destiny shares so many features and qualities taken from MMORPG systems that work, so why not utilize them? Now my other aspect of feeling far too restricted is the maps themselves. Granted there are 4 worlds, each with a sandbox style feel to them as you can go anywhere on the map as you please. But are they really even sandbox maps? The maps are big, yeah. But why the need for so many unnecessary invisible walls and kill zones? There's a ledge leading to a building that looks easily accessible, why am I not allowed there? Which dynamics in the game are potentially ruined just because I would like to sit on the top of a skyscraper building? On the moon, there is a small section of the map that looks safe to explore but after walking into it, I ended up getting stuck with the 4 second death warning. Just add a limitation where if you're killing any enemy from too far away, you get neither loot nor exp for the kills. The whole sense of discovery and that MMO style feel you get from playing is completely ruined due to the lack of exploration. Yeah, there is plenty to explore, but you suddenly realize how small the maps actually are when you are forced to farm upgrade material or do the repetitious yet limited patrol missions. The first 5-10 hours of the game was an fps experience that was a mix of many of the great features from various genre of popular gaming. But the lackluster finish and end-game should have been the focus of a game like Destiny and Bungie should have taken notes from the huge MMO companies in Korea and Japan in this regard. This lack of variation, repetitive strikes and bounties, and so few crucible maps, the game starts to turn bland really fast and I'm praying that Bungie will release some extra content that will make my 60 dollars actually feel like a good investment. On a different page of issues, crucible balancing and classes that I have issues with. I play as a hunter. I read all the gripes that people have against hunters but people don't understand how EASY it is to counter both blade dancers and the golden gun since neither grant you any invincibility (albeit blade dancers gain some bonus defense and one perk allows them to regen health for every super kill). Any super charge that grants invincibility or a giant boost in defense is unbalanced and a bit unfair in my books. Well, I hate all super charges equally because they are intended to be OP and only utilized whenever they're available, but man... some moves you can't ever counter unless you absolutely expecting it. You ever go up against a full fireteam of 6 warlocks in control? What a nightmare.
