Hate this game...wish i never bought it. It ix a good game, just doesn't work for me...not what i wanted

So bungie left Microsoft to make the game they always wanted, but oh wait is that a Halo sequel?? yep pretty much.

i could very easily see how this game could get 3 or 5 stars. if you like buying a game, working through a few missions and moving on, it's not for you. while true you can do that with destiny, this game BEGINS at level 20 when you finish all the stories. the real progress in destiny is with meeting people and forming social networks to do raids, nightfalls and other high level activity. if you combine WOW, halo, cod, and skyrim/fallout all into a giant ball you would wind up with destiny. while the actual storyline isn't enough for many of the story playing type, the game play is absolutely excellent. if you get this game and are able to work to the point of completing a hard raid you will have experienced way over 100 hours of game play, probably over 300 and met many people along the way. season pass and headset required. without this you miss what's great about the game.

great gift idea for a friend. I have it, but the game is very boring and repetitive.

Not really my type of game i got all into the hype but learned that i should stick to madden and call of duty

One of the most amazing parts of this game is getting into battles where you have other players from around the world all joining you in your fight against aliens. After just a few days I was already adding total strangers to my PSN friends list after fighting aliens with them in the Destiny on-line world. This is what makes the game addicting and well worth the money. Ignore those who complain about the lack of story. Most first-person shooter games lack a great story. This may not have the great writers of tales like BioShock or Mass Effect but all you need to know is these aliens are bad so shoot them. End of story now have fun in enormous battles across the solar system.

I have played about 10 hrs, have gotten to level 8, and have done all the earth missions I could find (just started on the moon ones), so take this review with a grain of salt. This game has a little bit of an identity crisis. On one hand, it is a RPG shooter like Borderlands, on another it feels a lot like Halo gameplay, but on another it is an MMO (apparently the game assumes you have three hands... hence the identity crisis). If you want a game like Halo, with RPG elements in an MMO sense, it will be perfect for you. The good - Visuals are awesome, gameplay feels like Halo (this is a HUGE compliment), and I've never sat around with nothing to do. The bad - Lots of grinding. The missions change enough to keep me interested, but there have been about 4 different things to do in the missions (kill dudes, scout area, collect items from dead enemies, go to new area and hold your ground). Another gripe is that although the graphics are impressive, they repeat themselves a lot. Sure the new Dregs are blue... but they're basically the same as the red Dregs or Yellow Dregs from before. It may seem like I have a lot to complain about since my bad is a longer list than my good... but the goods are SO GOOD that they outweigh my gripes. Final Verdict - I actually can't say. I am willing to give this game the benefit of the doubt and get to max level before I give a final verdict. So far it is solid enough to keep my attention and keep me playing, so 4/5. Might become a 5/5 if the endgame content is awesome. Side note: Shame on Bungie for not having a more awesome experience in leveling up. I never felt like leveling up was a chore in WoW, Destiny I can't say the same.

I've never been a huge fan of 1st person shooter games, mainly stuck to the Maddens, 2Ks or racing. When purchasing the glacier white ps4 bundle, Destiny was only a add-on that remained sealed for weeks after purchase. When i finally decided to play, it was pure confusion for the first couple runs but when it started making sense and weapons became unlocked & levels were being upgraded it became addictive (without playstation plus online play), 2k & NFS have taken a backseat to Destiny. it has become one of my favorite games (non sport genre) next to the GoW series. I'm sure many may differ in opinion when compared to Halo series; but, with this being my first experience with 1st person shooter i'm more than satisfied.

You need a lot of DLC to fully annoy now, it's basically like a demo at this point.

This game has a lot of potential to be great, unfortunately it is not quite their at launch. The best way to describe Destiny is it's an MMOFPS (Massively Multiplayer Online First Person Shooter), so it's cross between World of Warcraft and Halo. The problem with MMOs is you need people to play with, otherwise this experience is less than satisfactory. While you can (and will), run through certain things like bounties and missions yourself, the worthwhile content such as strikes and raids need people, which this game has for the most part. Unfortunately, most of this multiplayer content will require a paid online service, either PlayStation Network, or Xbox Live which normally runs $50-60/annually. The problem is there isn't nearly enough content for the launch and at $60 price point, less than 2 months later you can feel the staleness starting to set in. However, more content will be released, 2 expansions have been announced, the first will go live on Dec. 9th while the second will be some time in the first quarter of 2015. Unfortunately you will need to shell out more cash, $35 for both or $19.99 each separately. The game is addictive and the more friends you have the more addictive it gets because its always a new experience. If you want a solid campaign and don't have a paid online gaming service on your console you may want to stay away from this title.

I'm no good in online game if the first time I play online games

This game was made by Bungie. The guys behind Halo. So obviously you can expect great gameplay. But what is surprising is the lack of variety this game has. Without the DLC offerings, you're simply grinding through the same lifeless levels over and over. Which to some may seem like a lot of fun. To others this is a problem. The story is very underwhelming as well. As it relies on DLC for you to get the full grasp of. People like myself rarely ever buy DLC, so to me the game feels unfinished. Not a fan of that method.

Hard to play single person shooter, very confusing

Not as fun as it should be. Had high hopes and failed.

Need the PSN to work to use it. Can't play without online.

I couldn't play it at all because I didn't have the internet, it doesn't say anything about having the internet to play the game, It's bs that u have to have the internet to play a PS4 game that was purchased at Best Buy.

i use to love this game. would pump around 5 hours a day into this game until the first dlc hit. bungie has made this game into the biggest grind i have ever played (coming from someone who has played every gran turismo). you really do have to grind for anything and everything now. not only that but the loot system really is all over the place. you may not get anything for 2 months straight then in 1 week you get 5 exotics. when they say rng is random, they really do mean it. the graphics and gunplay though are what kept me coming back. the way the guns feel and sound are some of the best in any game. that is over shadowed though by the constant grind of doing the same exact bounties day in and day out the story also is very lacking and has no substance. i have played through the story probably 8 times and still dont have a full understanding of what is actually there. and then you come to the guns or lack there of. most of the guns in the game are the same gun just reskinned with different perks and color scheme. if you like a game you can pump hours and hours into and not get anywhere, you will like this game.

Don't do it. you need to buy the expansions in order to actually be worth anything. so if you buy this, be prepared to spend about $40 more in expansions and DLC that you are forced to buy.

The shooting mechanics of the game are very good. What else would you expect from Bungie? I'm not as big of a fan of the online multipler because most of the good loot drops in player versus environment PvE, rather than player versus player PvP modes. The game mixes elements of MMO to a first person shooter. All three character classes have their benefits and different little nuances to be aware of. I recommend making one of each class to try out all the different classes and see which one you like. Some hardcore gamers will have three of the same character class just to give them more of a chance to be max level by running raids three times with the same character class. Very addicting game that ends up being a grind towards the end. Be ready to drain lots of hours into the game. Much more fun playing with others. The game really starts to go deeper after level 20, where your level progression is based on gear that you get from drops, engrams, or raids. I ended up meeting lots of other guardians playing this game and added a lot more names to my psn friends list.

Graphics 5/5 Sound 5/5 Multiplayer 4/5* Controls 5/5 Story 4/5* Customization 4/5* I sometimes get disconnected when joining a coop mission (my internet speed is good) The story is great but it leaves me wanting more because of the shortage of it. The character customization is good but it leaves you desiring more options than what is given. Maybe once the game has been out longer they will add more options. Overall this game is a great FPS with a touch of RPG and Multiplayer aspects. I love the Cooperative play and the Player Versus Player is awesome as well. I'm not sure how balanced the classes are at this time since the game is so new but it doesn't seem like any one class is a powerhouse.
