If the main thing you want is good singleplayer, I'd suggest you're the wrong person to review Destiny tbh

It's an intrinsically multiplayer game. Even the combat arenas are clearly designed to be tackled from multiple angles, with multiple players

(not a comment on any complaints about the story and general campaign, which are completely valid imo)

thats the other thing. Untill the very end people didnt kniw what ti expect from this game due to marketing trickery. Even after the beta, people didnt want to believe that was all there was cuz of bungie, and bungie kept talking bigger and bigger.

And here we are, dissapointed and pissed
 
This reviews are...well, strange to me. Seems like they're being shat out as soon as possible and the game was played with a focus on finishing the "story." It's like the antithesis of what Destiny is.

The real disappointment for me is the PvP. How could Bungie fail at that? It's like they mailed it in with everything.

PVP is great once you a) get a good weapon, and b) learn how to play. Hated PVP when I first started playing the beta, now I love it.
 
Despite all of the negative impressions, I still find myself having a pretty damn good time whenever I log in.

Maybe I'm just weird.

C'mon people, Big Trouble in Little China, the man is legit

Dude has made some fucking great films, don't get me wrong. The Thing is one of my all time faves, Big Trouble is a load of fun and Halloween is a classic. But he lost his touch by the time the 90's rolled around. It's for the best that he moved on to other things.
 
Reviews seem overly harsh. Only played like 5 hours and I'm having a blast as I did in the alpha and beta.

And what's this 20 hours nonsense? Unlocking everything and leveling up all 3 classes will take a lot longer than 20 fucking hours.
 
Game is really sterile but I'm enjoying it for the most part. The scores are pretty accurate I'd say. The presentation at times is atrocious and they made some baffling design decisions like not being able to access Grimmoire cards in-game which is apparently where the only good storytelling is found.

Short term, they wanted a 10 year brand but not only is the Destiny brand in tatters after a few days but the trust and reputation towards Bungie is smashed as well. The consumer won't be so trusting of their next ambitious project, I would say this has done huge damage to them long term.

Bungie still have an insatiable appetite for allowing badass moments.
 
If it hasn't been said before I want to point out that a lot of te actual world story can be found in the app of the game. All the cards you get give you more info about the game world.

Find it funny people are hoping for sub 70 scores... like they care. They sold like 10 million copies in a day

You don't think the people at Bungie care how their game is being evaluated? I bet the majority in that studio care more about how people are or are not liking the game than how many copies they sold.

They all play the same and there's a terrible sense of character progression, what's the point? But be my guest to do whatever you want to get your money's worth out of this game, though. Leveling up 3 classes that aren't any different is the definition of tedium to me.

It's actually kind of broken. Using any primary weapon except the auto rifle puts you at a huge disadvantage. Also, the game still has horrible balance due to some weapons having less recoil, more bullets, or a higher fire rate. They need to give everyone the exact same guns stats wise in pvp.

What did that make MAG besides way ahead of its time

I am glad some reviewers are calling it like they really see it.

It's funny cause people pointed out because MAG was segmented it wasn't an mmo but apparently destiny with less players is.

Do you really want to read those cards on the game?

Is way easier to just do it on a PC or a phone. That's one of their better decisions.
 
gamespot pretty much summed up my worst fears about this game and the reason why i didnt preorder it.. going to be interesting to see what gametrailers says after brandon jones (the guy who is doing the review) called destiny the 'dancing with the stars' of video games lol

I enjoy the PvP as well. Also love the scifi environment. I hated the pvp at first in beta as well but then gradually got decent once I figured out which weapons were a joke, etc

Nope don't think that's weird at all. It's a pretty common sentiment and one I share also. Imagine this game dropping out of nowhere without all the hype and marketing and Bungie development. People would be much less harsh with all the criticisms.
 
Loving all the "why you in this thread? you haven't even played it!" posts. It's not at all like review threads are typically filled with people that haven't yet played the game, and Destiny's case is only different because Bungie prevented the reviews from preceding the game's release. Nope.

Was playing the PvP last night. It's still pretty frustrating, but I wanted to give it a chance as it sometimes takes time to get into a groove for certain games. But it feels like it was welded on so the game wasn't just a co-op shooter. Makes you wonder if maybe concentrating on the core exploration and fire team elements would have been better.
