I'm not entirely sure why Joe bothered with a review this time? Anything other than a day one review doesn't serve its purpose as a review. Essentially by the time this, and the other online/publication reviews came out, we've already bought the game. At which point what exactly does a review do? It either a. agrees with your already determined opinion or b. doesn't agree with your opinion. Don't get me wrong, I like Joe and he is entertaining, but his reviews are often the worst kind of popular bandwagoning, parroting the vocal minority rather than forming an opinion truly his own. As well loved as his reviews are by a lot of people, they are by far the weakest element of his production these days. For me, I admit I bought the game off the hype, but that hasn't stopped it being the single most fun experience I've had on the ps4 this generation. I haven't played a game this much for this long in an absolute age. It ticks a lot of boxes for me. There is plenty of potential ahead if Bungie play it right and I'm willing to give them a chance to prove it. Are there issues? I guess it depends on your definition of issues... Is the story hidden in the grimoire and hidden online rather than in-game... yes... is that a problem - not for me (I'm happy to read the Grimoire when I'm not playing the game). Is the game grindy past 20... yes... but for me at least that means you have to put some effort in if you want to achieve the better loot. I accepted this in WoW and I accept it here. Will I ever do the Vault of Glass? No idea, but if I don't then that's ok there's a tier of equipment out of reach. Everything else you can level your rep up for, or collect motes or coins etc. It's all achievable - Bungie are just asking you to work for it. That honestly isn't an unreasonable ask to me. If I had to offer any niggles, I'd list the PS4 "exclusives" as the biggest waste of effort ever (especially as it alienated the xbox players for no reason). Only the Strike is worthwhile although for my money it is one of the most fun. But in levelling 3 characters (and I re-rolled my 16 warlock for face-change purposes) I haven't seen a single "exclusive" class item drop... kind of pointless for any of them to appear now that I'm looking for purple gear... Other than that, perhaps allowing more characters to be created would be cool. The only story niggle I'd raise is that it would have been cool to see some reference to the race of the characters in the cutscenes. The Awoken could have reacted differently to an Awoken character for example - or mystery exo lady to an exo character. Even so, nothing above alters my feelings on the game. So for me, as entertaining as Joe is, this isn't a review I need to watch. I have already formed my opinion of the game and someone else's opinion and an arbitrary score out of 10 serves no purpose to me. I am still playing it two weeks after release and see no let-up there. I now have three characters 20+ (Hunter 22, Warlock 21 and a Titan 20) and two of them (warlock/titan) have yet to finish the story mode. I love the pvp, I'm really getting into the Strikes and I even like playing the Cryptarch lottery (got 1 purple off a green so far!). I don't need a review to give me a score and a rant about what isn't up to scratch in their opinion (or rather the vocal minorities opinion). For me, this game is one I like and I'm playing. For whatever reason, this 40+ gamer has been impressed with Destiny and long may I continue to play it.
