It looks like It's on the good side, but I don't think it looks special. I just don't understand why they made the decision to spend so much money on it. It's not a smart idea to throw away the profits of the past few COD games if you ask me.

you could have said the same about online multiplayer when it was first introduced.  halo online plays no different from a halo lan party afterall...

the silent matchmaking system will break down the barrer between single and multiplayer. no more waiting in lobbies and watching (what feels) like houe long load times.  just pure gameplay. 

and to the best of my knowlede boarderlands never let you shift between first and third person perspectives. 

and i think the art looks amazing. 

...but if you want to hate on everything that isn't entirely original i'll warn you,  you are going to be a sad person. there are no original ideas and the things you thought were original aren't.  you were just too inexperienced to see the prior arts.  if your that jaded just quit. 

I wouldn't say it's "trash". However, after seeing a 7 minute gameplay video on the XB1 dashboard last week, I wasn't particularly impressed. I mean, it looks 'alright' I guess, but it's nothing to crow about. Maybe it's because its an online only game? These type of games use alot of resources for network, AI etc...

obvously the something like the introduction of 3d is one of the biggest ever....

...but i still think the silent matchmaking will be massive.  like in the introductiom of the cover mechanism for shooters or regenerating health bars i think this is one of those things that will forever change how games are developed and in the future any game that doesn't support it will feel cheap and not AAA. 

If you have to tell journalists what sets your game apart from an established IP, you can't be that original, now can you?

And that feature will hardly be revolutionary, and you mentioned ONE original thing about the game, I guess that makes it boring gameplay okay cause you no longer have to wait in lobbies to experience it. Seriously, I have yet to see one dazzling reception from journalists, and I have yet to see any compelling gameplay, if the press isn't all over it like they are over any good game, then I have no reason to believe this game will be good.

Hell the vast majority of game changing games get great previews, use titanfall for example. It got great previews from the press and the gameplay was always exciting, meanwhile Destiny isn't and the gameplay looks boring as hell, and many are calling it underwhelming, obviously the game isn't going to be that good, and from what I've seen, it looks trash. But that's just my opinion.

I can't say that I've been blown away so far by the videos for Destiny either, but I'm certainly not going to jump on to a forum and start whining about a game that's still months away from release, especially considering I haven't played it yet.
Also, for the guy complaining that Destiny looks like a cross between this game and that game and this game over here, gaming evolves by how certain titles change the 'way' we play, not by changing how good something is to look at. That always comes afterwards.
Name one successful title for me that had a significant impact on gaming culture and development simply because of how it looked, because I definitely can't think of one.
Not one.
Gameplay always, always comes first, even for you.
So if Destiny looks derivative or uninspired graphically, if it plays like a beast, then it is one.
And since none of us have actually played it yet, you'd be better off reserving judgment.

except the gameplay looks exactly likes borderlands the press has yet to rave over the gameplay.

here's an example of what I mean.

"Co-op shooters aren’t exactly a brand new thing in the video game world. From what we saw, Bungie’s Destiny looked a little more like Gearbox Software’s destiny, if they had a bigger bankroll."

I lost my hype for this game when they said you'd reach max level in a couple hours

Destiny looks boring. This gen has been a huge disappointment when it comes to none Nintendo games. That's would be fine for me if Nintendo's release schedule wasn't up it's own ass.

Killzone was mediocre. Rise was bad. Infamous was mediocre. Titanfall was mediocre. Watch_Dogs is mediocre. Ground Zeroes exists. Theif was disappointing. Wolfenstein was as generic as it was always going to be, but at least that game wasn't trying to be more grand than it knew it was. Everything else is delayed. It's not just Destiny. Pretty much everything looks like trash.

I lost mine when they said its online only.
