Is Destiny basically like games like Borderlands and Rage?
-
Destiny is first and foremost a FPS. Borderlands is a FPS RPG, but implies heavily on RPG more than fps . On Borderlands you go through guns very fast, find a new one like every other level. In Destiny you make a gun your own, with high levels of customization. On another note Borderlands levels are very linear , destiny is all about exploration . Besides rage sucked
-
It's like it but it consists of more options and choises
-
Certain elements are yes. But nowhere near enough to call them similar.

4 AntwortenBearbeitet von SkyJW: 7/24/2013 3:14:32 AMI'd say that if you looked at it from a very superficial perspective, then yes, Destiny is very similar to those games. They're all Sci-Fi shooters that have RPG elements and which place the player on a world that is unsafe and chaotic. If I were to sell you the game with that line, then you'd probably pass it up, but I think there's a lot more to Destiny that separates it from the herd. The first major difference would be the shared world experience. Neither Rage nor Borderlands allow for spontaneous co-op play the way Destiny does. Borderlands does indeed offer co-op, but it's your standard four player co-op where the experience of playing with other players in the campaign is much more organized. Rage offers not even that in terms of experiencing its universe with other people. So the sudden nature of Destiny's cooperative experience where a two or three player session can suddenly evolve into a seven player session and just as suddenly become a two or three person one once again is a VERY important thing to keep in mind when comparing Destiny to other seemingly similar games. But other than that component, you have Factions which can be joined, an entire Solar System to be explored, and several different civilized races of aliens that seem to have different cultures, motives, and fighting styles. You could say that Rage and Borderlands also have different species and races, but the Fallen, Cabal, Hive, and Vex seem to be much more compelling enemies than bandits and mutants. There's also all the things we DON'T know that will further separate Destiny from other games - we're so early in the reveal cycle and Bungie surely has some juicier details locked away somewhere, ready to amaze when appropriate. To compare Destiny to other games when we really know so little about it is a rather difficult thing to do. Now, I'm sorry if I went a little farther into what makes Destiny different beyond what it's "basically" like, but I think that the issue of basics in gaming is far too narrow. I could say that Civilization is basically like games such as XCOM: Enemy Unknown and Total War since they're all turn based games where you manage resources, recruit troops, and try to sustain alliances that can benefit you in different ways. But all of them are very distinct from one another beyond that and I think the same applies to the comparison you're making between Destiny, Borderlands, and Rage.

It's borderlands meets halo meets star wars.

So much D-Riding in this thread. I'm just going to say. Don't get your hopes up to damn far... only to dissapoint yourself when it doen't live up to your expectations. To be honest, the multiplayer part of it.... is just about the only thing that seperates it... from what? Fable 2, GTA5, Red dead redemption? Oh, but it's the first time that kind of multiplayer has been done on an actual First Person basis rather than a 3rd person? And? Suddenly that makes the whole system better I suppose? Then you get to the real reason people play games like this. The items..... Items is what made Diablo 2 successful. Items is what made Diablo 3 a failure. Items is what makes Borderlands Boring. The items are what is going to make or break it. If Bungie decides to go with an RNG system where every item is just as generic as the next, with slightly different numbers and percentages, then Good Luck with that. IF on the other hand Bungie decides to Handcraft each and EVERY single item to make each one truly unique, then you'll have a winner....... What do you think the chances are that Bungie has the dedication to handcraft 1,000's of different items? Slim.

Destiny doesn't have the same loot system as borderlands. (Thank goodness) We all get our own loot

Bearbeitet von Pheint3d: 7/24/2013 11:15:27 PMThe fact that your character may have the potential to explore and grow over 10 years is enough to say that Destiny is different. The game won't be beaten and grow stale in a year. it has some similarities to some games, but enough unique content and playstyle to diversify itself within the gaming industry. There are new concepts they are bringing to the table that haven't been done before and older concepts that received a huge overhaul that will be done entirely different. In my opinion, this is something new. The most important aspect of the game is the "feel" of the game. people saying it looks like this or that, those comments don't hold too much gravity in the conversation. The feel of the game is going to be the biggest difference you will notice when you actually play it. a lot of games claim to be open world but I have a feeling that this time will be the first time that you actually feel like you're in an actual real world. and lastly...if destiny was "basically" like all those other games....there wouldn't be so many people hyping it up right now. It's being hyped up BECAUSE it's "basically" NOT the same.

Looks can be deceiving OP. and we don't know how big this game is going to be yet so don't assume so much now. Destiny will by be like any video game out there. Bungie is too smart to put out another copy and paste franchise. Expect the unexpected with Destiny.
-
i've never played rage, but it definitely shares a lot of similarities with borderlands ( skill-trees for weapons that are similar to borderlands' classes, various incarnations of weapons, huge maps full of lootable enemies, character progression, awesome online co-op, etc. all fine by me!). however, we can expect a balanced competitive multiplayer alongside the standard game which should be a sweet addition to the mix. not to mention the community-based things we've come to expect from bungie games such as an awesome theater mode and accompanying websites/apps loaded with statistics and convenient and interesting features. i just wish someone would tell me there's a forge for making multiplayer maps, already! xD bah. so many people sensitive about trying to find similar aspects between destiny and other games. most people understand that destiny is it's own game, conceived from the basic idea of combining a shooter with some RPG and most-specifically MMO elements (the way the game will throw people into your game as you play). of course, because this is bungie, anyone familiar with halo has some ideas, as well (physics, vehicles, etc.). some people want an idea of what general sort of game to expect. most likely people who have not been watching every break of news for destiny that comes out like many of us do. realize that destiny will, in fact, have similarities to just about every game you've ever played (it has guns, you use a controller, it's an action game, this list goes on for as long as anyone can be bothered to write it.) and have a little understanding. not everyone's a troll. :P
-
It reminded me of borderlands when watching the gameplay, but it is very different than both, Borderlands and RAGE.
-
Probably not. But it's not like we really know [i]anything[/i] about Destiny yet. We know its a video game. That's pretty much it.
-
What about it looks like those games?
-
No, its Destiny. If it was like Borderlands, they would have called it Borderlands 3... Idiot.
-
You judge too early. We only scratched the surface.

8 Antworten1. Borderlands and Rage were both awesome. 2. Destiny is unique in it's own way. The only way you'll know what it's like is to play it. 3. Destiny is mixing genres in a revolutionary way. I don't think that many people realise just how much of a risk Bungie is taking in order to change the future of gaming, or at the very least, the future of the FPS/MMO genre(s).
-
Destiny "looks" nothing like neither of those two games, although it may have a couple similar mechanics to Borderlands, which to me would only be limited to the loot/bossing/open-world aspect of it otherwise Destiny is completely unique. As for RAGE I don't see any similarities at all.

[quote]Just what the title says, You guys forget that Bungie makes games based on what they like in a video game. They don't care about labeling it an MMO or an FPS. Yes they are conscious of what people perceive but that's more of a marketing and PR issue. First off we have no idea what Destiny will be like because we've seen so little of it. Second the game is still in development so there are probably countless features and game mechanics that may or may not make it into the final product that will ultimately form what we get on launch day, and lastly the only thing we do know is that the game will be fun as hell. It's going to include a lot of "flavor" from other genre's, other games, probably past Bungie games, and shit that's so new and mind-blowing we can't even conceive of it yet. So stop trying to come up with something; whether it be a genre, game, or wholly new terminology, to compare Destiny to. [/quote] [b]Kempolazer[/b] Jul 23 at 1:23:37 AM I agree with him.
-
Not at all
-
Borderlands with boss fights that bring in extra people for the duration of the fight. yeah... as far as i have seen pretty much.
-
Borderlands and Rage are games, Destiny will be a game. From a game standpoint, yes.
-
It's whatever you want it to be.
-
-
Destiny is destiny! It has many elements to those games. I'd say its like those games plus planetside 2 and mass effect.
-
its human nature when faced with the unknown to make references and comparisons to more knowledgeable sources of info, so that we can identify something we don't understand yet. the mechanics of destiny's First person shooting will likely behave the same as borderlands and halo do , the demo implied as much , but without the raunchy ,whimsical and highly comedic style that borderlands is known for. but destiny's feel is a little bit peter jacksonian epicness of lord of the rings meets the star wars saga
-
From an extremely superficial perspective, a bit. Realistically no.
