Bungie wants a review of someone unbias and more the 11 hours of play??? Well, heres mine. Let me tell you a story, of a fantasy land. In our near future, we are brought to a golden age. All because of a few astronauts found a mysterious relic. Older then our planet earth itself. This time of great prosperity was a time to be desired. But then, out of nowhere. A mysterious and ominous darkness befell our great civilization. No one knows where this great force came from, all we know, it was after the relic, The Traveler. War soon ensued, powerful alien races came in the wake of the darkness, and threatened our very existences. Our greatest warriors, gifted with wondrous powers from the Traveler, fought back, and pushed the alien forces back. Our once great cities, broken and destroyed by the Darkness. We must fight back, we must bring peace back to our world. The humans race depends on it. Guardians unite, and bring down the forces of darkness, together. (better story then Destiny itself, right?) Destiny, could be the top game of the century. It has everything numerous players will come to enjoy. PvP matches with unique classes. Scenery that makes you feel immersed into these worlds. Monster alien forces that try to kill you at every turn. Gun, Soooooo many guns. And unique armor that helps players customize how they look. Fun little speeder bikes to travel on these planets faster. Sometimes I catch myself sitting on Venus just looking out into the world. Thinking, "what happened? why did they have to destroy this beautiful planet". I walk around, killing these different aliens to hopefully one day, restore this planet back to the golden age. But the more I fight, The less impact I really have. These monsters just never stop coming. For each one I kill, ten more takes it's place. It's a never ending battle, and hope is soon fleeting. I came into this world, after just being dead for god only knows how long, to see despair. More so after I learn more and more each day. As a gamer, I can see the potential Destiny has. But I bought this game under false pretense. I thought I was getting a huge world to explore. I thought I'd be able to trade with friends. The Idea of gambling seemed interesting to me. I figured I'd be able to reach level cap and be distinctive in my looks as my character progressed. I was told I'd become a legend and make my own story. Instead, I got four maps that take seconds to travel in a full circle. And mobs weren't close enough to cause too much trouble. I've gotten countless duplicates that I can't even give to my friends. Theres nothing to gamble on, other then the RNG. Everyone looks the same at level cap, minus color. And I'm far from a legend and don't have a tale to tell. Plus, I keep getting attacked by rapid animals. And mysteriously, the aliens have health potions yet I don't. I read everywhere that this game is far from complete, that it's ten years in the making. But everything is gonna cost me. I don't have time to explain, why I don't have time to explain. The story is very much lacking of previous games released by our beloved Bungie. And to some, that's the biggest flaw of the game, myself included. But there's many more flaws. Unique weapons are outgunned but legendary. The RNG barely gives you anything you don't already have 20 of. Monsters coming back from the dead. And even random animals attacking you so bad that you need to run to the safety of your ship. I could go on and on about how bad this game is. So how about I give some good points. This game has a solid "BASE". Far from any complete game you'd come to expect, but overall, enjoyable. It has promise, You have fun killing the monsters over and over. And the PvP can be entertaining, If you're into the whole mindlessly killing players scene. But it has very little that players can actually do for their character. I give Destiny a 4/10. Overall, It's personal preference. I would tell my friend not to waste their money on it. I'd tell them to wait the 10 years or so for it to be a finished product. But I wouldn't tell everyone to do the same. I find it fun, but repetitive. And you can only do the same strike so many times. And worse, they punish the community for thinking outside Bungie's box. We'll all have to wait and see how things turn out over the next few years. (Still #abetterstorythanDestiny)
