Is destiny a MMO?
Hearing people say it's not. Quite frankly I am pretty new to MMOs (only ever played Defiance) and want to know what aspects of destiny make it an MMO and why people are saying it's really not?
Thanks for reading my MMO Newb post. :)

30 RespuestasEditado por FairlySplendid: 5/22/2014 7:01:06 PM[b]Honest answer:[/b] Bungie has wasted so much time telling people what Destiny[i] isn't[/i] (typical, by-the-numbers traditional MMO), that they've confused gamers as to what Destiny actually [i]is.[/i] Destiny is a co-op driven, exploration-based shooter. With A LOT of emphasis on getting loot and upgrading your character(s). If we're speaking frankly, It's an [b]ARPG shooter.[/b] A well thought out, expansive, and carefully executed shoot and loot co-op game. [b]Where the confusion strikes and people start arguing:[/b] On paper, Destiny has some fancy background, seamless matchmaking system that will (for all intents and purposes) be invisible to the average player. So if everything works right, all that stuff about fireteams and player counts and public vs private will simply sort itself out quietly without players realizing it's there. Chance encounters…. blah blah blah. We'll come across other players like we would walking down the street in real life. That concept is new to the [i]console shooter[/i] community. Hence all the confusion and contradicting explanations.

1 RespuestaDestiny is NOT an mmo. It IS a first-person shooter.

6 RespuestasMMO stands for Massively Multiplayer Online which Destiny definitely is. [spoiler]It's like Defiance[/spoiler]
-
It's more of a role playing game than an mmo...but I feel as though Destiny does have many mmo qualotoes

No...it isn't

The main framework of play does suggest MMO, free roaming questing, guilds, campaign, dungeons and raids. So we have to look at what is missing, not what they share. I have pondered this question for a while, and the main difference in my mind, is the minimal amount of social interaction that will occur. Although I could be wrong, as far as i am aware, the only communication that will occur is within fireteams. Maybe it is this social interaction that Bungie view as being the core principal of MMO's.

4 RespuestasIt has a lot of characterisics of an MMO, but Bungie doesn't like to call it one. I guess the big differences are a subscription fee and a max of 9 people doing one activity together(thats what I heard anyway)[spoiler]also, Destiny is going to have competitive multiplayer[/spoiler]

3 RespuestasMmo's have "bad reputations" for wasting your money and consuming a lot of time and space on computers, and consoles. Destiny can be considered an mmo cause of how many players are playing. But the only spot you see them all at once is in the city, not in the action part. Yes in public areas, but even then it will be on different servers. If I told a gamer that destiny is a new mmo, they would go "who cares, there's a billion more out there" destiny is NOT an mmo, people think mmos are when you have more than one player, and loot, and gear, but that's also in the description of an RPG, some of them at least. Destiny is an RPG, with tons of players, and the combat is Fps combat, does that make sense?

2 RespuestasOld article. But I think it is still relevant. [quote]"Not at all. [b]Do you guys ever get tired of us insisting it's not an MMO[/b]? Debate about this game is always fun, and we welcome it," Bungie said.[/quote]
-
Yes, it is an FPSRPGMMO.

I see some MMO aspects and some that isn't. Looks like it will be a fun game. Raids, Zones with other players, I think the city will be a hub/hangout that will hold a lot of players.

5 RespuestasEditado por AzrealAbysse: 5/23/2014 2:39:21 PMThis is just an opinion from someone who has played plenty of mmos, but bungie has never said it wasn't, it's the community that argues that point. All bungie has said is that they don't want to call it an mmo and for good reason. The majority of their fan base has been strongly and openly anti mmo from before even Destinys announcement as such they dubbed it a shared world shooter, but as i said this is my option. its just semantics. Out of all of the mmos I've played, about 12, all of the key elements are there but for buisness reasons they won't say it is.

Editado por M-AY-DA-Y: 5/22/2014 7:34:14 PMDestiny is not an MMO but it is taking many elements from MMOs. It kind of reminds me of what CoD 4 did, it was a shooter but it borrowed elements from RPGs like leveling up. One reason Destiny can't be considered an MMO is because in those games players pick one massive server to play the entire game on. In Destiny when you go to a public area you will simply be matchmade to that area, so it's kind of like an MMO/traditional-multiplayer hybrid. Also, Bungie doesn't [i]want[/i] their game to be considered an MMO because those games get a lot of hate for being restrictive, repetitive and grindy, so calling it one would scare potential players away. However, I think it's fair to compare some aspects of Destiny to current MMOs even though some people will be quick to jump on you and yell "it's not an MMO!" Because that's what they've heard from Bungie.
