The Bungie Community's Review of Destiny
I've seen a lot of people opinions on Destiny on here, and I though it would be nice to consolidate it into one poll.
On a scale of 1 through 5, what do you think of Destiny so far? Also post why you felt that way in the comments. This should show what we as a community think of the game if enough people vote.
I understand it is early on and there is more content on the way, but votes can be changed if it changes your opinion.
[spoiler]Also a quick PSA: #gaming was intended for talking about games other than destiny. Let's just help the guys in there out by keeping out treads in the appropriate areas. Thank you. [/spoiler]

I guess I understand that since this is a console game, its bringing in mainly console gamers. They are confused in what the game is about. I can almost promise you if this was a PC only game, it would be scoring 8.5-9.5 across the board. It plays just like DIablo 3. A game that has the most cliched story of all time. But the story isn't why you play diablo. You play it to kill thousands of enemies, increasing your power as you go, and trying to find that one perfect piece of gear. Destiny takes a bit further and adds some MMO-lite features in raids, faction grinding, and PVP. I just cant understand why gears of war, call of duty, titanfall can score so high, when they have less content than destiny. The complaint of repetition in areas doesnt even hit until after you have finished the campaign and hit 20. That campaign is 15+hours. How long was the last call of duty? And while we are on those games, the campaigns are wack a mole, shooting galleries. Run down a corridor, enemies pop up directly in front you and shoot and duck. No flanking, no retreating, no tactics, no challenge. Honestly the only shooter campaign i have ever thought was really good was Halo, and thats because of the level design and enemy AI improvements we got starting with halo 3. Anyway, Destiny is everything I have ever wanted out of an MMO hybrid. I get to jump in an out of action in a moments notice. Hop between PVE and PVP whenever my heart desires. I can play for an hour or 5 and feel like I accomplished something. I cant beat a player in PVP who out levels and gears me. And I could go on, but you get the point. For me at least, its the perfect game. I haven't been able to get into MMOs in the last few years because they are so boring. Games like Diablo and monster hunter scratched the itch, but didnt require me to sync up my schedule with 10-20+ other players to accomplish anything. By adding fantastic shooting combat to the formula, adapting it for a console environment, and reducing the amount of players needed to succeed late game, bungie has made the perfect game for me. As long as they continue to support it and add content, I will be here playing.
