The story mode left me feeling like it wasn't enough (probably a ploy to get players to buy Destiny2). Now, the online gaming is awesome. You get to play co-op or against other players across the network and meet interesting people while doing so. This game is all about the "strikes" and "raids" that you do with other gamers and the PvP.

Destiny has become extremely popular since its beta release and its no wonder why. This game is so addictive. I can't count the number of hours I've put in so far. Plays as it is supposed to so I guess Best Buy did great on this one. Even though all they did was set it out on the shelve and let it wait till I bought it. So it's great!

Bungie's best shooter

The controls for the game feel flawless. Bungie has perfected the first person shooter on any console. Visuals are top notch, and so is the soundtrack. The story is lacking, but for me, that isn't a deal breaker at all.

This game simply feels incomplete without all of the dlc. It's light on story and the emphasis is on playing online with your friends. If you are interested in the game I would suggest looking into the Taken King edition of the game.

Great story mode and the online play is top notch but i'm worried about content to keep the game interesting.

The graphics are amazing. Even more so on PS4 compared to PS3. The gameplay eventually gets a little repetitive grinding the same materials to upgrade items, playing upgraded versions of the same missions, etc. Does not experience the lockups that seem to plague other multiplayer titles.

Destiny is great up until the point where you hit level 20 which is the cap. It only takes about 10-15 hours to do everything in destiny and once you hit level 20 there is minimal new content. You must farm all the previous maps/strikes you've already done to earn items that have light which is a mechanic that pushes you above level 20. It's a slow process and completely random and rather unrewarding.
I'm level 24 after a few days of playing but I feel like there isn't really a huge reason to keep going. All in all I would say its worth it if you have a few friends to play with, ideally 3 or 6 as fireteams are restricted to 3 but PVP and raids will be 6 man.

Greater shooter, bare bones story

Destiny is a great shooter, Bungie really nailed down the core mechanics, however the game falters pretty much everywhere else. The story is not only bare bones it is frustratingly so, questions are never answered, instead characters just tell you they could tell you about this or about that, but in the end they tell you about nothing. The loot system is also frustrating, especially when the worst player in multiplayer gets a legendary and everybody else gets nothing and the same thing is liable to occur in strikes and raids as well. However at the end of the day none of these problems really take away from the fact that Destiny in just fun to play.

My son is a regular with the Assassins Creed games and has shown little interest in branching out with other games. He became interested in this game after reading a review, and I was informed, in the store, that it might be a great present. This game has fulfillled these expectations.

This game grows on you. Gameplay is like a Halo-COD hybrid Rpg. At first, the game may feel repetitive just killing things and getting terrible loot. The loot system is literally based on randomness; a level 2 monster has the same rate to drop engrams (turned in for random gear) as a boss. Once you get to level 20, the game changes for the better. Good loot is a little easier to acquire by doing strikes and playing pvp. However, the story stays so esoteric throughout the game that you have no idea what's going on unless you look it up for other people's interpretations. It's definitely not a bad game, but it fails to live up to the hype.

Love destiny thoroughly enjoy the game it still needs some tweaks to get to 5 star. Like group finding system for higher level content. Alot of people are not enjoying the loot system for high level but I have found it highly rewarding. Because I just enjoy playing the game.

Destiny is a fantastic looking and playing first person shooter. It's too bad they forgot to include a meaningful story or more than a couple mission types. PvP multiplayer is fun as long as the servers are working.

Great game all around. At first I was a little skeptical about the game and thought the game play was a bit slow compared to COD AW. But then again, I believe any game is slow without the exo suits.
The game is greatly made and awesome, honestly nothing beats having your character go to unique paths.

If you can look past the story and read through the grimoir cards and weapon and armor descriptions, you will find a world filled with rich lore at every corner in ever chest and a game with great gameplay and interesting sequences where you group with strangers fighting for the same cause assisting you in public events. The game isn't perfect but its a great buy if you have friends or are willing to make friends on it. The game doesn't have voice chat systems like other games as it blocks people from communicating with you unless you invite them in your squad. This helps in some ways but ultimately hurts it.
