Honest question, Is Destiny a good game?

Ego, emotion, religion, sexuality, blind-hate aside, is Destiny a good game ? Is it a game that will go down in the history books like GTA, Halo, Dark Souls, Need for Speed, (Some) CoDs, FIFA, and any other popular good game? Personally, I believe it will. I have 1500+ spent on this game alone, the last time I reached even 1000 hours in a game was GTA IV (and that was only because I had Mods lol) but yeah, I loved what Destiny has become and hope for it to prosper in the future.

    • It's all a matter of personal opinion. Destiny will go down beside ff7, vandal hearts, dying light and many others as very memorable gaming experiences that I have enjoyed. Other people might hate it, like I hate gta5. Just remember that its personal opinions.

      • It's a great game. If Destiny now was Destiny at launch, then probably. But it's launch left such a bad taste in so many mouths, so no.

      • Not as good as it should be sadly however if your standards are relatively low then you can enjoy destiny. If you expected the next Halo you will be disappointed to no end.

      • For some, yes. To others, no. Let's just remember that they keep coming back here when they're "done" with the game.

          • It's a good game. It's not the be all end all, but when you have other companies trying to emulate it, that says something. It's set a precedent. It's made it's mark. I recall many posts saying this game and that game was going to kill Destiny. Here we are 3 years later, and we're still talking about Destiny. Now it has to compete with itself going into D2. Like them or not, Bungie's done something right to talk about, whether it be positive or negative. Destiny's is very relevant in the gaming community. This forum, and many other social media forums, and media outlets in general prove it.

            I am going to say it's good, but I also need to point out some things as well. For one, it has been marred badly by what could have been, gamer's do not take well to broken promises and people still hate it for that fact alone. Then there is the whole cut content thing with the TDB and HoW's. I am sorry, but there is no denying that they were cut especially when there were areas for them fully fleshed out for them in the alpha/beta, not to mention the multiple videos showing the reef, and there was that completed map that even showed the exact position of the missions from both on the planets they spanned. There was also some mishandling with the game itself, but that is not to say that everything that Bungie has done as just been a farce either as, in some areas, they have legitimately tried to get better. They still should converse with the players more as well and take legitimate constructive criticism ((none of this "I hate X, X is stupid, change it BS". But with all this I also think that if it hadn't been for the whole debacle with some of their team members that worked on D1 leaving and taking assets from the game maybe they wouldn't have had to basically scramble 6 months prior to D1's release to meet contractual obligations. Again, not saying this is right or good, nor am I defending Bungie or saying the game would have been any better over the years if this had happened, but it did happen and it might have had something to do with it. I've enjoyed it overall, for better or worse, and I believe in giving anything a second chance, again for better for worse.

          • Yes, it will. But bungie keep making an horrible mistake: changing the game focus so much every patch that not just the meta is rotative, but also the community. Halo keep loyal players CoD keep their community game style focus gta doesnt care about other games and do what the GTA COMMUNITY wants. Bungie tries to keep every player from every game playing destiny, an by doing that, they change the game so much that people /RAGEQUIT they should focus on a game style and improve that, instead of pleasing every single opnion and trying to make everyone happy some will like some not deal with it [spoiler]what i cant handle is nerfing to death ON PURPOSE some weapons just to "fix" the game, instead of trying to balance it[/spoiler]

            Hard to say until the last one comes out. If the votes were all in currently, I'd be more inclined that history would say Destiny, a good game, but could've been so much more. Jury is still out though.

          • No had potential, but that was divided up and sold separately.

            • Is it a good game? In it's final form, I would say so. It's a bit early to know if it will be in the history books like halo or CoD, though. Maybe in the middle/end of D2s reign we'll get a better glimpse. [spoiler]Insert final form joke here[/spoiler]

            • Is destiny a good game? Eh, no not really, but it was once. Go down in history books? Lol no, not in the good game history books. It will probably go down in history as the protogame that paved the way for the good shared world shooter. Got to respect that. It wasn't the division, might be anthem, and if not a game we don't know about yet will take this concept and do it right. We'll have destiny to thank for it.

            • I think it's kinda tough to get an unbiased opinion about Destiny on the forums, where everyone has and will continue to play. Personally, is say it's a good game in that it's the first to really successfully bring together FPS, coop, and RPG elements, but with it being the first, there is also a ton of room for improvement that holds me back from calling it a good game in general.

              honestly with around just 1 year in development of the story (after the original Joe Staten story supercut video released, which to be honest sounded fairly well fleshed out and seemed to have some good plot and twists), this game had some serious downfalls during it's development and very little could overcome that (yes the bare bones framework was there on release, but it still needed several more years in development to overcome that). but that still doesn't excuse the mess that the game has become after years of gameplay, the community is toxic, the story in particular had a vague plot, thin characters, and opaque dialogue at best (more so in the first year than now). the overall balance of the game for PvE players got destroyed (usually monthly) by players complaining about being killed in PvP for one reason or another. the guns and armors are all based of very few architype's, so most are copy and pasted just with different colors or something like that and there is very little difference in most weapons and armors preformance (except for exotics or unless you had the "god" rolls of that gear, which most of them have been nerfed to death over the years). there are very few abilities that can preform well in PvP that can also preform well in PvE environments so they should have kept balance separate for each, so to get into PvP environments you should have required a multiplayer patch so the PvE environments can remain generally untouched from vanilla with small fixes needed for simple PvE glitches and things like that.
