Is Destiny an MMO/FPS
Some people need to find out the difference between an MMO and an RPG ffs
My take: it is, millions play every day. It's online and it's multiplayer.
*sigh

#Destiny

You are looking at millions of players in the wrong context when referring to one of the massive references when it comes to MMO. Massive in the MMO context is referring to the amount of players in a persistent world that can interact with each other. 16 players is not massive. 100 players is a good place to start, but as few as 50 could still be considered massive. Another reference to massive in an MMO context is the game itself. As I massive amount of content. Combine everything in destiny, including TTK, and it would still be the equivalent of just one playable map in a MMO such as Guild Wars 2. For example, I've played said MMO for almost 3 years. I have around 3400 hours played. I have still not completed some of the content, even endgame content. Even if destiny were already in year 10 with all content released(based in what was released in year one) it will still not come to this amount of content. Bottom line is a few poorly implemented MMO elements does not make a game a MMO. What you're doing with destiny is looking at a cheeseburger and calling it vegetarian because it has lettuce on it.

8 RepliesEdited by Ainz Ooal Kaza: 9/2/2015 12:07:12 AMPlain and simple: MMO: Massive Multiplayer Online Massive: meaning massive amounts of players can connect to the game simultaneously Multiplayer: meaning you can play competively or cooperatively with two or more players at a time Online: meaning you connect to the game and other players online MMO was an identifying tag stuck on games back before nearly every game with multiplayer allowed online game play. It served as an easily noticed element when browsing games to download. Since most MMO games back then were RPG games, MMO became commonly thought of as strictly RPG. Since then games have evolved and now nearly every game has some online multiplayer aspect. In this regard they're all MMO. Let's get this straight, MMO is NOT a genre, its an identifying tag. A genre is a category of something, FPS, RPG, SWS, Sports, Racing those are examples of genres. There is no game that is just MMO its set as MMORPG, MMOFPS and so on. For those that say, "but Destiny only has max fireteams of 6 and PvP of 12 it can't be considered MMO". destiny supports massive amount of players but like most console based online multiplayer games they've limited player counts in the same areas to keep the server lag down. "But that right there means its not a MMO!!" How? Because you can only see 16 people in the Tower? Yet every day hundreds of thousands log into Destiny and at least once a week that number hits the million+ mark, tell me how that doesn't qualify as MMO. "But Bungie said its not a MMO!!" they said its not in the traditional since, it borrows qualities of the MMORPG and MMOFPS then mixes them with the SWS to create a new, unique gaming experience. Throwing Destiny into a single genre doesn't work, its so much more than just one genre can describe.

It's a Mini-MO.

Its a hard question. Y not just settle as a game
-
It's a hybrid plain and simple.

3 RepliesIt's a fps, anyone that says otherwise is stupid

It's literally an MMO RPG FPS mash up. It combines a large majority of the elements of each type of those and puts them all together. I didn't realize the concept of three genres coming into one game was so damn complicated for some.
-
3 RepliesIt's a FPS.

Kind of. It pulls many ideas from both.

2 RepliesLol people who think destiny is an mmo

12 RepliesEdited by m00ninite: 9/1/2015 8:10:17 PMI guess most of Destiny's players don't know what the acronym "[b]MMO[/b]" stands for. Destiny is an [b]FPSRPG[/b], also classified as a "Shared-world shooter". MMO means [i][u]MASSIVE MULTIPLAYER ONLINE[/u][/i]... Destiny is NOT this. There is no massive and persistent world where hundreds of players can interact at once. Now before you rage at me with your WoW comparisons, listen up. Yes, Destiny is comparable to WoW, but ONLY because both are within the realm of RPG's. Destiny can also be compared to Skyrim because of some of these same elements, yet Skyrim is also NOT an MMO. Do we understand yet? Probably not, how unfortunate.

2 Repliesis gta online an mmo? tbh i see destiny as more of a huge coop game rather then mmo. its to small for that
-
1 ReplyDestiny seems more like that crap you are fearing to take....knowing it's going to rip your cornhole, but that you have to do it anyway
-
It's a console-based MMO. Just cuz it's not WoW doesn't mean it's not an MMO.
-
Destiny is not an MMO, and anyone who thinks it is, is insulting actual MMOs.
-
1 ReplyMaybe not an MMO like World of Worldcraft. But if nothing else, Destiny has a high amount of qualities of an MMO. But that's just what we tell people who deny it. [spoiler]it is definitely an mmo[/spoiler]
-
The game is an MMORPG
-
In my opinion it is a first person shooter with a heavy MMO influence and elements included.
-
Guild Wars 1 is an an MMORPG without the massive open world found in traditional mmo games. Everything was instanced. Groups were on the small side. Just because Destiny isn't a "wow" clone dosnt mean it's not an mmo.
-
Destiny is an online first person shooter. There is nothing about destiny that's massive, except hype.
-
Everyone's got it all wrong... It's a tactical tower defence
-
1 ReplyIts neither. It's just a simple FPS. STOP acting like its more
-
But all those millions can play together in one instance so it's not an MMO
