I agree along with many others this game is far what I personally expected. I assumed I would just walked out from the tower and start my adventure like Skyrim or an elder scrolls game and make my own story. To my surprise I find it to be what I call in the MMO crowd a Dungeon crawler where you have a mission and you go to the end of the level to complete said mission. Then when its finished you go back to the mission select screen.
Granted I put up with it, maybe get a feel to the story and maybe this game has more to offer. But sadly I have no idea what I am fighting for or why I am here. I feel like just a face in the crowd known as this "Guardian" to fight against the darkness. I get assumed when I see the voice of the traveler and he tells me that I must have many questions to ask "well yea I do and you never told me what the heck happened I mean I died so fill me in GIVE ME SOMETHING GIVE ME PURPOSE TO EXIST!!!"
All I have to go on is that "I go kill darkness make human race free" ( I say that with broken english cause that's alI i got from that), I also picked up dead ghosts and I assumed that I would learn some story for finding these and I still get no info even when it tells me to go to the website to learn more. The map indeed is empty I tried to go into caves maybe to find something interesting like a fallen hide out or a hive cave or FREAKING SOMETHING!!!!! But no I just find an empty cave with maybe a few enemies that I just kill with no effort. Maybe I might find a loot crate but thats probably the highlight of my efforts to explore this "expansive free roam world".
When I did the missions in explore mode I would just end up back tracking and I would moan and groan having to fight the same enemies in the same locations with no variety. I thought it was interesting that certain races would fight each other, but if thats all you have to blow me away with, I might as well cancel my pre order because bungie is already on thin ice. Sometimes when I sneak up behind and enemies I would just stand there directly behind them and they would not notice me until I shot them or moved in front of their line of sight which just made me face palm. Probably the only thing I could get out of the beta was how large the environment was and how beautiful it looked.
Other than that I see no reason to buy this game either bungie delays this game for another year or wait until the unbiased reviews come out and see if its worth anything. I am an MMO player and the excuse for "oh its a beta give them some slack they are just testing it out" that is a poor excuse to look past these flaws. The game comes out in september and its july, if you expect changes to suddenly come out of nowhere then you are a slave to the industry.
I have probably ranted enough for now but I am very disappointed in what I was promised. Maybe I will buy it or may I will save my money for "No Man Sky" because that is the type of exploration I am personally looking for that destiny is poorly lacking in. ( do not bash on my grammar I do not personally care I know it sucks)

It is like the entire world is just there waiting for you to either look at it or shoot it.

I completely agree As much as i like whats there so far i was very surprised how much it pushed you down a fairly linear maps all the time i thought there would be a lot more freedom for a game with a 500 Million Budget behind it. Really hopeing that as the game evolves they will start to tear down some of those walls and expand the tower and maps . The tower i Particularly though was very bare as well.
