Angry Joe's Destiny Review: Rage and Dissapointment; A Solid Shooter Marred with Mediocrity. Thoughts?
So Angry Joe recently posted his review on Destiny. After watching the video and combined with my own thoughts after a few dozen hours throughout these past 2 weeks, I came to the conclusion that although there are definitely aspects of Destiny that I will keep coming back to and enjoy thoroughly, I cannot honestly give anyone the OK to buy the game without a laundry list of caveats that will put off a lot of people.
1. [b]Insanely[/b] repetitive mission structure
2. A supposedly deep and intricate narrative that has almost no presence in the game itself
3. A randomized loot system that seems to put little to no priority on actual performance
~ And a whole lot of smaller gripes that accumulate to make one disappointing experience. For everything that Destiny does right either immensely or in some small but noticeable regard, (gunplay, PVP, class variety, character and weapon customization, etc) there seems to be some facet of the experience that feels gutted, abandoned or just not very well thought out.
[b]TLDR VERSION[/b]: IMO Destiny = Good foundation, Disappointing Execution. Thoughts?

[quote]TLDR VERSION: IMO Destiny = Good foundation, Disappointing Execution. Thoughts?[/quote] Thats pretty much my thoughts too. Its like they know where they were going with the game. *We are supposed to explore like in a MMO, but while the maps are beautyfull there really isn't much to do after the first trip around. The Beta map was far the best in that regard, and we were already worried about the amount of content then. *We are supposed to level gear in PvP, but all gear advantages has been turned of, and the true RPG mode, "Iron Banner" is not available outside special events. *There should be a epic storyline, but it is not even "staggered", which is the defence some uses. No, it is fragmented, scattered pieces of the first chapter of a book, missing half the pages. *The patrol mission does not scale with your level, but apparently a L3 Thrall is just as likely to drop good loot as a L20 Cyclops. So half to 3/4th of the maps are really below you level, but you still get bounties there, go there for public events and missions etc. Not to mention the infamous lootcave. *Its about getting great loot, but the loot is just start variation over the same handfull of models, except a few exotics. There should be dozens of model variation over each weapon types, a thousand legendary and a hundred Exotics. So whats it going to be Bungie? Skyrim, Diablo or COD? It looks like they are trying to mix the three, but each component has become far too diluted.
