I voted 6. This game is missing something. Well, many somethings. It seems to be trying to do a lot of different things, and most of them it does just a passable job of, at best. As a loot game, it's no where near as good as Borderlands or Diablo. As an MMO, you can't even interact with anyone random in the world besides 4 emotes. As an open world, it feels really, really small. As a story-driven game, it's told by an uninterested (and uninteresting) narrator, and there are so few characters, and those characters do so little, that it's not memorable at all. I'm not here for the PvP, so I can't really comment on that. As a next-gen game (playing on PS4), the load times are pretty frequent and long. And it's pretty directionless in many ways. I just finished the campaign, and my reward was a Mote of Light. I already had 2 or 3 of those, and as far as I can tell, only one vendor takes motes of light, and all I can buy is a Warlock Bond. I don't even know what the point of Warlock Bonds are, and the big reward at the end of the story is 1/26th of one of those. Until I learn whatever it is about Bonds that I don't know, that's got to be the most underwhelming last reward ever (for a game you're supposed to keep playing after you finish the story). The shooting seems pretty good, and the AI seems better than most, and it's technically a sound game. There just doesn't seem to be much of a game there. The missions were all so similar (in design and appearance - as you were constantly in the same few places all the time) and got old really quickly.

  • I felt exactly the same way, wayyy too repetitive to really feel like I was anywhere new, even when it was my first time on a new planet... But I enjoy the gameplay so much that it is easily over looked now that I have gotten over the fact that the Storyline is a piece of shit that should've been on some N64 game, not on next gen... What's sad is that N64 games had more in depth and longer storylines with way more dialogue than what Bungie gave us, shit not to mention that those games were way cheaper, I could get 3 of them for 1 destiny. But whatever the gameplay is fun and the PvP is intense, I enjoy it more than CoD, just wish I could set the sensitivity higher than 10, I'm used to 14 on Black Ops 2...

  • The load times are extremely short for me and I'm on 360. Your Ps4 might be defective or Sony just has garbage servers. Probably the first.

  • I think you hit the nail on the head. You're missing out in PVP though. Aside from balancing issues, I think this is where Destiny excels. And if you're not here for PVP then I feel like you, and other like you, were forced to draw the short end of the stick. At least with PVP, aside from the same maps, there is variation in gameplay that keeps it from becoming stale.
