Destiny ... Billed as the next leap forward and the greatest game created... HOW MANY TIMES ARE THEY GOING TO BILL THE NEXT GAME AS THE NEXT LEAP FORWARD AND THE GREATEST GAME CREATED?...this line gets old and is usually the first warning shot that perhaps it isn't all that great or new.
What is so new about Destiny? NOT A DARN THING! It is simply another HALO Remake with new ink. These guys stole the racers from Star Wars ... incorporated Killer Klowns from Space ... cloned Borderlands and borrowed names like Shank, Harpies, Monitors, and other cute names from various other games including Borderlands. The maps are recycled art to the max .. all the caves are identical ... the maps are identical with new missions... and they cover it up with re-spawning hordes that makes Borderlands, Dead Island, and Dead Rising look mild with frequency and number of looping horde after horde.
We have people who can fly with jet packs... Magic wizards and magic powers stolen from Skyrim and the Elder Scrolls series. The online game part is the same old Capture the Flag and "Core" and Domination with the advantage of super powers to handful of players of higher rank at the expense of the lower rank which allows the higher rank the ability to eat full magazines of bullets without easily dying... this lopsided approach MAKES THE LIVE PLAY SUCK... as much as the idiots who made pistol and shotguns able to fire hundreds of yards on other games such as black ops. Game designers may think this stuff is cute... but IT IS NOT ... and shows how idiotic they are even though they can claim, "Yeah, but we are laughing all the way to the bank".
The main advantage of Destiny it is off the pier-to-pier to system that has plagued Xbox from the get go in which everyone's game was tied to one xbox and whatever connection they have and allowed for cheats and hacks to infect the game. So far I haven't seen much of that... BUT WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT SUPER POWERS AND SPECIAL ABILITIES WHO WOULD REALLY KNOW? ... Whatever happened to a realistic games in which bullets killed...any bullet can kill... people did not fly or "Halo" jump... and weapons did not fire a hundred miles and when you were hit YOU WERE DEAD?
IF THESE GAMES CONTINUE TO GET ANY 'FURTHER OUT' I JUST MIGHT START LEAVING THEM ON THE STORE SHELVES...
