great
I'm a new player and wanted to give a perspective for anyone else new. I've been playing for three weeks now and am still playing every night. The legendary edition is definitely worth it for new players. Base game and all three expansions is quite a bit of content even for just leveling one class. One thing to be aware, there was a download code to get the three expansions. This code may or may not be reusable; I don't know. So if you're planning to get a used copy or to resell it this is information you'll need. Personally, I've never played an MMO on a console and also not many multiplayer games. When I compare Destiny to what I expect from MMOs or FPS games then Destiny is similar and compares well to other MMOs or FPS games. Ex. the raid is the end all be all. The main story quest line is not the culmination of the story. It's common for MMOs to lock the most satisfying content behind the raid. There's still a lot of fun to be had without raiding and when I bought Destiny I wasn't sure if I wanted to raid. But now I'm gearing up for it and looking forward to finding a group to try out the raid. Another example, while the graphics are better than last ten games and quite good for an MMO, I find the graphics to be subpar compared to single-player games in 2015. Impressions after 1 week: Leveling is a bit different than other games. I've come to realize that character level just unlocks gear or missions and has no affect on power, on my defense or damage. Stats come from gear. I've been finding gear or buying gear frequently. I've changed at least one piece sometimes more at every level. Progression feels good. Over the weekend, I've seen a couple others leveling characters. I've now seen a lot of level 40 players in the same zone as me. The best I can tell is that they're waiting for events. I've joined two events with them. All of the Taken enemies I saw were at my level. So, it was weird but fun fighting the Take alongside level 40 players. The Taken are a super nice addition. I'll move through an area empty of enemies and then the Taken teleport in. Or I'll come across the Taken in combat with other aliens that I need to get past. It's really cool. While I was initially a bit disappointed with the graphics, I must say they are very good for an MMO. But I hope that the Taken King content and future expansions increases the resolution. At level 16, the story feels empty. I'm more motivated by finding gear than experiencing more story. I also find it weird that there's a queen in this game but she has no court. There are two guards and a guy with her. Is she the queen of three people? It's odd. The game play has begun to feel a bit repetitive. Deploy ghost, fight off waves of enemies. The enemies are a bit different and the mini-bosses different. But there's definitely a repetitive pattern to the experience. Honestly, I can't wait to get to explore the Dreadnaught at level 40. That sounds awesome. The following was my impressions at 10 hours in. There are no new players on my server. The tower is full of 34-40, mostly level 40 now players. I go out on a story mission or try out a patrol, there's nobody. I'm all alone. I've played other MMO's and I've always seen a few people leveling or wandering through areas. Bungie must have a bunch of small servers rather than a few large servers. I did play the beta last year and the game zones felt vibrant, active. Playing now feels desolate. There's also no choice but to play solo. If you're looking for co-op then you better convince somebody to buy it with you or find somebody who wants to level another character. I haven't gotten to the first strike yet, but I guessing I won't be able to do any strikes until I get close to 40. Maybe if I over level and come back I'll be able to solo a strike. Then again maybe I won't want to. Also, if I get stuck on a story mission then I suppose I'll have to scrounge for better gear or level up to buy higher level gear and come back. Hopefully, I'll be able to solo all the story content and get to the Taken King content without too much frustration. Now, that I'm playing I realize it was the Taken King content that sounded so exciting over the summer, not the base game. Regarding graphics on the PS4, I'm a little disappointed. I was impressed during the beta. But now, after Bloodborne and Witcher 3 and watching MGS5 streams, the graphics already look dated. They are not that sharp or photorealistic as this year's games. Maybe the expansion has better graphics? Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about the art. I love the art. The art is some of the coolest in gaming, some of the most gorgeous sic-fi backdrops I've seen. That pushes me the most to explore this world for now. For now, I'm playing a titan. That seemed like the best strategy to solo. If I don't like titan, then I'll use the one-time one character boost to 25 on a hunter or warlock.

Steps in the right direction
So I did jump on the Destiny Bandwagon day one because I was needing a game to feed my addiction :P waiting for Dragon Age: Inquisition to come out. Game play was fun, acting terrible, storyline non existent, grinding factor through the roof. Through constant lag outs and crashed servers I exited the train just after Vault of Glass came out. I did enjoy the experience with friends when I was able to play. Decided to give it a second chance and preordered Taken King since it came with the other 2 pieces of DLC, still way over priced IMO but whatever, its giving me something to do until Fallout 4 wrecks my life with its awesomness. Voice acting and Story line have shown up and while I do feel like the grinding is a bit worse they have done a few things to make it easier. new subclasses are a blast and some of the new specials are exciting. way too easy to level up. went from 30-37 in maybe 2.5 hours. so when I hit 40 after maybe 4.5 hours I was a bit dumbfounded but fine, at least I still have my Light level to work up and I still can. so far no issues with the multiplayer/fireteam aside from an occasional lagout from a team member, perhaps its my 40mb/5mb that are keeping me afloat? who even knows. good game, complete for those who didnt pick it up originally. definitely has the Halo feel to it and is definitely better with friends.

Great Game, Excellent Value
I have played my share of first person shooters, and other online games, and this one is up at the top of my list. The value of the original game AND 3 expansions for the price of just the original game is outstanding. The story is unique and engaging. I see myself putting quite a bit of time into this game.
