The Destiny vs. Halo F**king Rant (Answer the poll! Which game do you like better?)

Destiny

117

Halo

205

[b]I'm going to curse a lot in this so if you're a kid or someone who isn't very fond of cursing I'd advise you to leave right now.[/b] Ok, so I want to get this off of my chest because a lot of people just piss me off when it comes to things like this. So, I hear a lot of people (including squeakers) tell me that Halo is better than Destiny and that Halo has many great elements to the game that makes it better than Destiny. So me being the huge Destiny fu**ing nerd that I am, I told them off. And I came here today to explain why Destiny #1: Isn't as bad of a game as people think; and #2: Why Destiny is in fact, a much better game than Halo is. Now, to start off I just want to say this: I do like Halo. I think Halo is a cool ass game in my opinion. But I also think that Destiny is much better. But anyways, let's talk about why Destiny isn't as bad of a game as people think. Well, a lot of people tend to steer away from Destiny because the game is "too ambitious." Well, I think it's about damn time someone came up with an MMORPG/Shooter mix. Not that it hasn't been done before, I mean there's probably one out there, but a really good one I mean. MMOs, RPGs, and Shooters are probably the 3 biggest game genres people look for when browsing for games, [i]aside[/i] from MOBAs and such. Destiny also gets a ton of hate for being a typical "I have to save the fu**ing world by shooting shit" type of game. Well, if you wanna be that way I can name about five fu**ing shooters right now off of the top of my head that are the same way. And besides, shooters were always like that, really. It's just a matter of what you're looking for. Destiny is an all-around great game. It has the lore for those Skyrim guys like me, it has the shooting bad guys for the old school guys who just wanna get to the point, and it even has competitive play such as Trials and Iron Banner for those who like that. And it's even gonna have Private Matches soon, so you can school those shit-talking squeakers that always love to say they had sex with your mom. What more could you want? Now I know there are a crap ton of things that need to be fixed, ([b]Deej the fu**ing loot system man have a team get on that A--FUC*ING-SAP![/b]) but the game is still fun all-in-all, you have to admit. But enough ranting, let's get onto what really matters: [b]Why Destiny is better than Halo.[/b] Now, I'm not gonna focus on the most recent failure put out by 343 -- [b]fu**ing Halo 5... I SWEAR TO GOD IF THEY DON'T FIX THAT SHI--[/b] *AHEM* ANYWAYS... I'm just gonna talk about Halo 4 and the games that came before that. Now keep in mind that Bungie made Halo CE-3 including Reach and ODST. So just remember that because that's gonna be a really important topic piece in this little rant of mine. Now getting into things, the lore of Halo's universe blows Destiny WAY out of this world, I'll give you that. But in terms of how fascinating the lore is and how the lore is incorporated into gameplay, I would say that Destiny does a better job. And before you Halo nerds come at me and start to tell me I'm dumb as all living shit, just hear me out. Because Halo's lore is extremely vast and is basically like Skyrim's lore on Forerunner drugs, the lore is too much to keep up with and has too many elements to incorporate into the game. That being said, since Destiny is a much, much smaller game than that of Halo's franchise, the creative designers of the game can easily import the game's lore into gameplay. Although some of the things they implement may be smaller things, or might not touch a lot on the lore or background behind it, they do a fairly well job at doing things such as implementing lore behind a gun, or behind the worms on the Dreadnaught. Some of them little things but some may be larger than others. So in terms of lore, Destiny beats Halo by a sliver. Now in terms of gameplay/story, I'm not gonna get too much into this because I haven't ever played Halo Reach's campaign, and I haven't played Halo 3: ODST's campaign in its entirety yet, so I can't touch on anything in terms of story. But what I can say about the general gameplay since I have played Halo Reach's multiplayer and Halo 3: ODST's campaign is that all-in-all Destiny slightly undermines Halo. Destiny does a way better job at incorporating elements you've never seen before, bringing you new content every time. For those of you punching your fu*king monitor right now and saying that Destiny is like any other game in terms of multiplayer, you're dumb as shit and probably live in your mom's basement. Destiny has added gametypes that frankly, we've never seen before. Trials of Osiris is one of them. And before you correct me and say that "we've seen elimination types before," let me stop you right there. Because the only thing that ever came CLOSE to elimination as a gametype is Search and Destroy and there's an objective in that gametype which is to plant the bomb or kill other enemies. So no we have NOT seen an Elimination gametype before Destiny created Trials. Firefight in Halo Reach was probably the funnest gametype in a Halo game to date. But if you really look at it, it's just another zombies gamemode variant, to be fair. There are small differences though, I'll give you that much. But all-in-all, Destiny knocks Halo out of the water with gameplay. Well, that's the rant. You Halo dweebs are lucky I didn't mention Halo 5, or your case would be -blam!-ing gone in minutes. Look, don't give me shit for this. I mean I am an unbiased figure in this dispute so just let me be me. If you guys don't agree with me, well... You're entitled to your opinion. I'm gonna drop a poll in this post so you guys can vote on which game you like more, so be sure to check that off real quick. But yeah guys, add me on XBL if you ever need an unreliable Trials partner. See you guys sometime in the future! (Tell me what rants you guys would like to see me do next because I'm definitely making more.)
