So i've been a fps type of guy since I played CoD 3, bought every CoD and battlefield since then, and I don't knwo what it is, I just can't seem to udnerstand how Destiny does what it does.
1. It has come closer to achieving team work type play style then any other game. This is because there aren't massive matchmaking games with 64 players all running around oblivious of their surroundings.
2. With the above being said, Destiny has pretty much eliminated greed. Most games like CoD and BF all encourage self achievement, which is great! but at the expense of their team mates. In Destiny, I never felt dissapointed to get an assist, because I knew teamwork was at the core of that single moment. No one's stealing kills or farming, everyone is watching each others back and helping one another out when they most need it.
3. You've created a really solid sense of security when it comes to progressing along with the community. By this, I mean that if I don't feel like playing The Crucible, I don't have to worry about falling behind level wise. I know that i'll be levling up just as much in exploration mode or doing other things such as raid. BF tried to do this with the unlockable guns in campaign that can be used for MP, but it wasn't the same. and Hell, it doesn't even seem that Treyarch even tries to make their games user friendly in anyway.
4. You actually made an app and a website that are worth exploring and fine tuning. I visit the Destiny site at least once a day to admin my Clan.
5. which brings me to my next point. CLANS. You did a FANTASTIC job with the clans! You succeeded where other fps mp games failed. Not even CoD could do that well.
6. My last point, and this is the most important one as well. You gave your gamers a sense of purpose. I've only felt that way when playing Skyrim or Oblivion, but no other game could do that. I don't get dropped blindly somewhere, I can go to the tower and figure things out with my clanmates, who are fantastic people btw. (Defends of Dawn....look them up!) Halo Reach kind of achieved this by giving us our own customized character to use in the story, which was really really cool, because all the cutscenes changed according to our spartans appearance.
So you've done a fantastic job, you've really upped your game (pun intended) and delivered to your gamer community. Just like the good ole days of Halo. and I'm glad I get to see your logo fade into my screen, it's really a nostalgic feeling. When i got my first xbox 360 as a surprise from my parents, Halo 3 was the very very first game I got. In all honesty, I hadn't played the two before, and later i bought them and played through them. I'm glad i go to experience this game evolution.
So thank you DeeJ and everyone else behind the scenes at Bungie, helping us create our own paths, and fulfill our own Destinies.

Some of those comments here....wow. way to not have a mob mentality. Kudos to you for expressing your opinion. I agree with all of these points but only to an extent....except 6 lol. But that doesn't matter. You love this game and good on you for posting this all the while knowing you would be attacked. Kinda sad that you are but whatever. This is one of those things that go BUMP in the night

Stopped reading after "I've bought every CoD"
-
Clan have been capped so even a 23k member clan 90% ant got a tag.....and not that you can get hold of your clan without using anouther device to contact them....destiny has no social asspect to it at all outside matchmaking Honestly i could see here and poke holes in everything you said but your ether a fan boi or a dev trying to hide the post that are bad (funny enough they make up 99% of posts and no reply from bungie)

Edited by xProTheory: 10/29/2014 12:07:55 PMAt least someone isn't a hater of every single dang mistake the devs make in the game. It's really hard to code, especially a game this big. Give them a break ya know, they're trying.
-
Ya sure the clans are "great" . I clearly see the difference between name under my gamer tag and just a regular clan tag. In destiny that tag means nothing at least in other games not just COD , you can actually do things as a clan such as clan battles.

Strictly talking about gameplay, and even then only specifically in the Crucible, I can agree with you. However, a solid PvP does not make up for the sheer failure to create any kind of coherent or engaging PvE environment in a game where you're supposed to design your own legend. [spoiler]I know a lot of people whine and complain about balance in PvP, but honestly everything feels fairly balanced to me. I think people are too used to games where everyone is on an even playing field, but in Destiny each player has advantages and disadvantages based on their subclass, the perks they choose in their weapons and armor, and their knowledge of how to use that gear to its potential. If there was one thing I'd make different in crucible, it would be the amount of special ammo players start with and get from the crates.[/spoiler]

You want some chap stick your Lips gotta be chap after all that ass kissing

Yep thank y'all

Lol how do they do a "great job" with clans? You make one and a name shows beneath your username. Kinda like CoD where it's just 4 letters by your GT.

Edited by MindFix: 10/18/2014 6:38:07 PMOne good comment dozens of people hating on it.... I agree with a lot of what you said, just enjoying the game. My only con is the story and I'll add bungie needs to keep content coming.
-
So how do you feel now?
-
Yeah I like most of your points besides #6
-
Your sixth point is off a bit, there is hardly any emotional connection with your character...think mass effect
-
Is it just me or is every one who hates this game usually dunt wana. Grind it out in strikes
-
I agree with some o the points, especially teamwork because I have seen a major difference of winning when everyone sticks together rather run off master chief style. I however don't agree with the clans... It's very stupid that I have to go to Bungie.net in order to build up my clan members. Let us be in game with our clan just as Halo 2 had it... It lacks the growth of the community in the game
-
Nothing valid!!!! How can u say that battlefield is not team driven?!?!? Lmao you bought all these games but did u ever play them? Keep justifying your $60 loss if it makes you feel better but in this so called next gen era this game is absolute garbage!
-
Wow. This is perhaps the best tongue in cheek post ever written. I found myself wondering for your sanity occasionally... Just to be sure, it was tongue in cheek and not a massive brown nose post right?
-
No no, thank you OP for the immense amount of ass kissing
-
This reads like a speech from the bungie shareholders convention!
-
The sarcasm is strong with this one
-
Thank you activision and bungie for taking my money and giving me nothing in return!
-
Played and loved the Halo series - not loving Destiny which kinda sucks given my expectation that Bungies next great franchise would deliver. A case of don't believe the hype.......
