Where Destiny fails

This thread is a (incomplete) list of where Destiny fails in a way or another, and of course expresses my personal opinion. A bit about myself before I start: I am over 50, have been working as software dev for 25 years, and now work as software project manager. I have been maintaining and modernizing an old 3D shooter game from the beginnings of 3D shooters for around 10 years, and have been contributing to various other open source projects. I have also been playing computer games for over 30 years. I therefore tend to believe that I am having a certain competence in the areas I will be talking about here. I am not a native English speaker, so please forebear with me if I do not satisfy your standards of proper English language and grammar at all times here. :-) [b]TL;DR: Destiny doesn't even deserve the rating "mediocre". It is a plain bad, repetitive, bug ridden game the developer of wich rules over the game and his customers with an incredibly arrogant high-handedness.[/b]

    [b]Game Background[/b] [u]Robots (Exos) that have a sex[/u] Why would robots have two sexes and male and female physical attributes? Robots do not reproduce by means of sexual intercourse. [u]Outdated Technology[/u] Why are there combustion engine car wrecks on Venus? Toyota is already selling fuel cell cars. The automotive industry is working on fully autonomously driving vehicles - they are just a few years away. I thought all the stuff on the Moon and the other Planets was created during a "golden age of Human technology"? [u]Outdated Planet Design[/u] Why is Mars a desert and Venus a jungle? Why does the Moon have an atmosphere? This is what people had believed them to be 100 or 200 years ago. Today we know that Venus is not a jungle, it is an insanely hot place with a poisonous high pressure atmosphere. Terraforming? How would "terraforming" give the Moon enough mass to create a gravity that is sufficient to hold back a volatile atmosphere humans can breathe? How can "terraforming" cool down the Venus to make it have water and jungles? The temperature on Venus is a result of its distance to the Sun. [u]Powerless Enemy Races[/u] The Kabal blow up entire moons and planets. The Vex can change the course of time. The Hive have a sword that consumes the Guardian's light and is capable of destroying them in the hundreds in no time. The four enemy races each more or less own a complete celestial body. Mankind just has a single city, protected by a huge, silent, damaged, white space orb. How come city, traveller, and Earth do even still exist? Ofc this is just fiction, but if it was good fiction it would have consistency and credibility and not more childish, ridiculous, tacked together trash like that. [u]Grimoire[/u] Just so much: Reading that psychedelic dribble some terribly bad author has scribbled together on the Grimoire cards in the absolutely absurd assumption he would be writing some really cool, meaningful science/mystery stuff there makes me cringe. There is an incredible lot of ridiculous, childish rubbish in this game. [u]Story[/u] Enough has been said already about the lack of a real story in Destiny. Even what is present right now is pathetic, lack luster and badly written, just like the Grimoire.
