BORING

User Rating: 4 | Destiny XONE

Even with the gorgeous facade that Destiny provides, there is nothing in this game to keep me around. By level 10 I had already wanted to return the game. Like others have said, technically and graphically, the game is great (though I had 12 disconnects in 15minutes when playing multiplayer yesterday, and gave up. Coming back to it later at night I had much fewer disconnects, presumably because of server load being less)

The same zones are used repeatedly. A "huge world" is a bunch of B.S. It's the same zones re-used over and over and over again. The creatures wear different skins but are basically all the same.

The weapons are boring, standard guns. Nothing new at all. Auto-rifle=machine gun, Scout-rifle=semi-auto longer range rifle, sniper rifle=sniper rifle. The drops are ridiculously low at low levels, and as VanOord said, nothing to get excited about even when you do get something rare.

Probably the best thing about this game is the challenge. The enemies have decent AI and are hard to tear down, espeically the "lieutenants" or "bosses". Having even one friend makes fights tons easier as you can flank successfully. It is very easy to die if you have no skill at FPS.

World events are fun but were done much better by Rift.

I suspect like most MMO's Destiny will grow over time. But on release it is just BORING. Borderlands 2 had more style, a better story, tons better loot, tons better mob diversity, tons better class diversity, and tons better weapon diversity. Anyone who has ever played Borderlands2 will wonder why people are so pumped about this boring piece of MEH.
