Destiny = World of Warcraft I'm almost certain a topic like this has come up at least once before in the history of these forums, the likeness is just too real. For anyone who doesn't know about the main World of Warcraft titles, they are pretty catered for hardcore PvP players (Don't laugh, it's true!) the PvE aspects of World of Warcraft only exists for casual/non-pvp interested players, BUT MOSTLY for PvP players to gather good gear to use in PvP. Destiny is just World of Warcraft with guns! Don't get me wrong, this isn't a complaint post, I love it. As a former hardcore World of Warcraft player and as someone who's primary interest in Destiny is PvP, I think it's a great set-up. For a PvP player, our main incentive to do PvE activities is to collect weapons to use in PvP. It's a pretty unique concept for an FPS. It even applies down to the small details of truly dedicated PvP players spending hours doing the same thing over and over again and praying to RNG for their weapons/gear to roll with just the right stats and moves for the playstyle they intend to use them for. Guardians are just slightly less violent World of Warcraft Vendors!!! Edit: I find it pretty entertaining how many people on this forum can't just let a fun observation/topic be without having to get mad and argue about it xD [spoiler]You can do this for just about any game[/spoiler]

  • OK you got me, it's not creative. Nether is saying two completely different games are alike because they share a few similar features.

    Well the people agreeing with me Outweigh the people literally saying the exact same thing as you, I'm willing to bet none of you have ever been dedicated Pokemon players, so I'll let it slide that you cant see how similar the concept I pointed out is

  • Like my spoiler said you can do this for just about any game. All games have similarities you can list. Destiny = COD they both have guns, both have pvp, both have a story mode, etc. Diablo is just like borderlands, loot rains from the skies, you can play multiplayer or alone, you can change your skills. Just saying it's dumb to say one game = the other due to a few similarities.

  • It's just a fun topic, man. Sure you could do those things. That doesn't mean me and my fellow Pokemon fan guardians can't enjoy the observation. Plus I was making an obvious comparisons about how seeking out and reforming weapons at the whims of RNG is like training Pokemon. It's pretty clear if you've ever bred Pokemon. It's not like I was saying Destiny was turn based or anything. Plus Pokemon is a cultural icon. Saying that hunting for exotic weapons is like Pokemon shouldn't be something that rustles so many jimmies.
