I agree with your point on the gunplay. If have yet to play something that feels this good. However, I feel that the game has no other redeeming qualities.
Lack of content, lack of in-game story, and every expansion taking place mostly in vanilla areas make this game a failure for me. I did play a lot, but only because it was the only game many friends also had. Now maybe 2 people on my friends list play.
Beat everything vanilla Destiny had to offer within weeks. Been playing Fallout 4 since launch, and no where near done everything. Destiny may have bigger maps, but it is just empty wasted space. I wish Destiny had as much to do as Fallout 4 or ESO. Destiny has the potential to be the greatest game ever, but falls flat due to greed.
