Isn't it annoying when people say destiny is going to be just like Halo?

Listen, I love Halo. Master Chief is probably my favorite video game character. I love Halo's story. But it really annoys me when people compare Destiny to Halo. Yes, Destiny is a futuristic FPS, but destiny is an open world online game. My friends still say it'll be just like halo, but personally I think it will be a futuristic open world, MMO type game. I have faith Destiny will be a new, original, fun experience, with nostalgia as well. Destiny will be a new and innovative game but with a somewhat familiar feel. Tell me in the comments if you've had similar experiences with friends saying Destiny is like Halo, or if you disagree with me. Thanks Guardians!

  • It may look like Halo's spiritual successor since it looks like it uses the same game engine, but the game is going to be more like a MMO version of Borderlands than anything.

Thanks Guardians![/quote] I played halo all my life and every one of them, I hope for halo 5 to make a comeback into mlg and become competitive again like it used to be. But after playing destiny beta it didn't feel like halo but a similarity which I think people over exqgerate about. Is the kill times, I feel many are used to fast kill times like cod, bf, titanfall ect. For the most part the fps for consoles that was on top for sci fi shooter was halo. Halo has a longer kill time then most other fps games. Destiny was faster kill time then halo but I felt slower then most. Which made it feel similar to halo. I think this is how it felt a bit similar to me. Other than that very, very different games. I like the longer kill times then cod and shorter then halo to have somewhat of a balance between skill and speed of game play. It was a great move by bungie imo.

  • Its like halo, like halo is just like all the fps games before it. All fps games are similar yet different. Think halo was the first fps to have you in space or on an unknown planet fighting aliens that want to destroy your world? 1,000 upon 1,000 of those games out there.

    • In my opinion, most the games out there produced by the same studio play, an are set up fairly the same. Fallout/Elder Scrolls-one has guns other has swords, so the comparisons are rarely made. But at the end of the day, very similar games. Modern Warfare/Titanfall- the mechs an wall jumping aside, found the core gameplay to be identical to MW1 & 2. Uncharted/Last of Us- Think you guys get the idea. Just everything about Destiny from the setting to the plot is almost Halo like so the comparisons are made more. If this game was set in modern times somehow or in the past, I highly doubt these comparisons would be made. But I find the gameplay itself to be completely different but still resemble Halo if that makes sense to some.

    • Destiny feels like halo on futuristic super steroids in the sense that it has the same feel and a more aesthetically advanced gameplay

      Played the beta. Was nothing like Halo. If it had, I wouldn't be buying it.

    • Everyone is saying this game is like borderlands, and star war with halo ect. But all I know is Destiny is Destiny and nothing will compare to it. Hopefully Bungie keeps this game going for decades.

    • Agreed! Destiny has taken aspect from a bunch of good gaming styles and combined them together into a new one

      I liked Halo. Hell I've liked a lot of games. But in all my 29 years of gaming I have NEVER visited, posted, or given to shits about a forum. I check this thing every few hours. So that's my answer. Haters gonna hate. But Destiny haters are a different breed entirely. You know as well as I do 99% of the people who are posting negative things are still going to play this game.

        Its not a MMO (The devs have pointed this out a number of times, its not a MMO. Theres no "Massively Multiplayer Online" aspect in this game, at most you could call it a MO "Multiplayer Online"). After playing the beta i think its aloot like halo, sure it is different in MANY MANY ways, like the "shared world" (NOT MMO) so that you can run into a few other players while you run around and it has many mmo'ish mechanics (like raids). It also has a realy nice loot system with some customization (more customization for rare weapons). But the combat and general flow of the game feels aloot like Halo. Im not saying that this is a bad thing, im just saying that theres reason to compare the titles.

        • Halo and destiny are two completely different play styles the can not, I repeat CANNOT be compared. When I play halo3 it feels like halo I mean you can't do much to change that. When I played destiny it was new exiting and I was always wanting more and it keep offering more. There are so little limitations and potential in this game then the majority of game now. Long story short halo is halo, destiny is destiny, destiny is not halo.

        • No matter what game it is, people are always going to compare it to another game. If it's destiny, it's like halo and borderlands. If it's Titan-fall, it's like call of duty and armored core. If it's watch_dogs, it's like assassins creed and grand theft auto. You catch my drift?

            • Destiny is it's own game. I don't really think it can be compared to anything else. It's just Destiny
