I've yet to play Destiny, so please take my thoughts with a boulder of salt, but all the fallout from Destiny has seriously damaged the high level of respect I've held for Bungie for years. I'll always love Bungie for bringing the world Halo: Combat Evolved, arguably the single best FPS ever made, and the Halo series it spawned, arguably the single best FPS series ever.

But Bungie has really screwed the pooch with Destiny, especially if it's true that large sections of the base game were removed to sell later as DLC. I guess you can blame Activision for on-disc DLC, for the outrageously expensive advertising budget, for all the slimy business practices, but in the end Bungie got into bed with Activision.


having played destiny,..  this game shouldn't damage your respect for bungie.  destiny is an amazing game.   imo,. all the critizism comes from inflated expectations due to the "500 million" comment and unfair demands that destiny = multiplat halo instead of being judge as it's own game.   there is probably a lot of salt in there too from those pissed off that bugie gave more love to playstation than xbox due to the marketing deals.

if you like fps games with a focus on co-op,..  if you like pve more than pvp,..  there isn't any game ever made on consoles that comes even within spitting distance of destiny.

I hear what you're saying, and I definitely want to try the game for myself. Judging its gameplay without doing so would be disingenuous, after all.

But I can't shake the feeling that Bungie made a deal with the devil over Destiny.

Goodness really? Has anyone even looked at the cards? There are 2 planets in there that are not unlocked yet. Not including mercury (which is awe inspiring btw, just played it yesterday) Jupiter and Saturn. My guess those are the explanation packs. I'm thinking that all this other stuff is free event type things like vog. I love the game and can't wait to see where Bungie takes this.

the video in the op shows that you need the expansions to play the missions

Not even Borderlands?


imo borderlands is left in destiny's dust.  boarderlands is bigger but it suffers from the same problem most open worlds game have,.. generic filler.  destiny is still impressively large and you can really tell how much care went into making every inch of the world feel unique and varied and configured for awesome firefights.   plus destiny's online is soo good.   not that co-op is impossible to get into with borderlands but destiny makes it soo easy to drop in and out that i'm always co-oping in destiny where in borderlands i gave up pretty early because i was always by my lonesome and bored.

i only played borderlands 1 thought.   maybe they fixed some of it in the sequel,. i wouldn't know.   didn't enjoy borderlands enought to play the sequel.


Borderlands 2 has way more content than 1. Yes, it's not that easy to do sort of 'random' co-op in Borderlands, but of you get some friends it's helluva lot of fun.

Destiny is way better than Borderlands IMO.

PS. Borderlands > Borderlands 2
