Well...the game is partially an RPG that is breaking new ground for FPS on consoles. I would expect some grinding going on. Its something console gamers will have to get used to that PC gamers have invested in for years. The lines between are dwindling and this game will be growing over the course of ten years. Expect nothing but expansions for this game. Much like WOW it will see an ebb and flow in value. Lets see if they can hold onto the hype unlike Titanfall which started off strong with hype and dropped the ball past the first two months. 

Seriously, have you not played Borderlands? Dead Island also went the RPG route. Destiny is not breaking ground but that's okay, I'm just disappointed by how boring the story missions are.

Titanfall is something else. It didn't have the hype and it wasn't promising tons of content. Titanfall is a better PvP game than Destiny, nothing more.

You're pointing out the obvious. One doesn't need to play the game to see that it is akin to Borderlands in gameplay. I am talking about the overall investment in the universe. It doesn't seem as grand and densely populated now with maps and things, but it will be in the future. You're looking for a stand alone game where there is no stand alone game. The reason I am not disappointed in Destiny just yet is because they told us the first thing we would be seeing in this game is the foundation and it will be built upon over the course of ten years. That is similar to what has been going on with WOW in that respect. It takes time for a grand vision like this to be seen. WOW when it first came out was nowhere as big and diverse as it became via expansions.

Titanfall is nowhere as grand as the vision for destiny. I only used Titanfall because its an FPS, but in no way after seeing everything is its vision anywhere near. Titanfall never promised to be more than it was, but Destiny has been planned out for years and seemingly its only scratching the surface. With Titanfalls first game what you see is what you get. With Destiny, as I said before, its an ebb and flow process that will take place over the course of a decade.

Sorry, I'm not drinking the kool-aid. As is Destiny is a disappointing product especially considering the length of development.

WoW at launch had significantly more depth than Destiny, so I'm going to ignore that comparison.
