I certainly think that Destiny is hyped a lot more than it should be. I remember how much Borderlands 2 was hyped and only to find how bad the FOV was on the consoles that the game is only worth playing on a PC. I *really* hope this isn't the case with Destiny (I didn't get a chance to play the beta).
Other than that, there isn't much "variety" beyond just shooting creatures and getting loot. Sure, I love loot and shoot games but if you are looking for more variety like solving puzzles that use/modify the environment, talking to a lot of people beyond just for buying stuff and other things like a traditional RPG that aspect from what I have heard is missing. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I would, for instance, love to see quests like escorting a ship/vessel through a trouble zone that requires team cooperation, or stuff like optional missions that take place in the air using hawk fighters (Starhawk style!) and more bizarre looking enemies than just bipedal creatures/robots. Basically, something more than just go to area, kill everyone there kinda quests.
Having said all this, I'm still looking forward to Destiny. I just hope it brings in at least some of the elements I mentioned.

The rpg aspect is like borderlands with armor and better skill trees :/ it's not as bad as people are making it sound.

Edited by Tekn0z: 8/20/2014 4:59:33 PMBorderlands 2 had more varied locations, more crazy enemy types and more crazy gear. I still prefer an upgrade system like Ratchet & Clank Tools of Destruction/Crack In Time. You can upgrade individual guns (unto a certain point). That to me is far more interesting and it actually makes it worth finding a gun MUCH more satisfying. I hope Destiny gets more "unconventional" guns - doesn't have to be totally crazy like Ratchet&Clank or like Borderlands 2 but just something that is beyond just new skin + more damage kind. Oh, I also love that as you keep using a weapon more in R&C it gets leveled up! That's pretty awesome :)

You can get some pretty cool upgrades for exotic weapons, like one sniper rifle can cloak you while you're aiming in. And the locations in destiny are unrivaled! If you haven't played yet it'll blow you away, the visuals and aesthetics of it mop the floor with borderlands.
