Its not an MMO model and you cant say that about every MMO lol. Maybe you just dont have any MMO experience? I cant recall a single MMO that launched with such light content, had expansions that were such jokes, and had so many fundamental design flaws that needed fixing. 

Destiny follows the AAA game model, not the MMO model. It just tries to infuse that model with some MMO flair. There is nothing MMO about Destiny.

That said, lol @ there even being any reviews yet. If the game ends on an 89-90 meta, awesome. But the raid is the big draw and its not even out yet. It would be like publishing a Halo 5 review without MP being available.


Nothing MMO in Destiny? I'm curious then, what does MMO mean? 

 

I always thought it meant Massively Multiplayer Online or something like that. So, exactly like Destiny... 

What exactly is massive about up to 16 people in one area? The game world isn't massive. It's fractured and walled off to make way for future DLC. At least you got the multiplayer and online part correct. Those are exactly like Destiny. There's a reason Bungie was firm from the start that Destiny is not an MMO. Idk of a better source than logic and the devs themselves. Or, again, maybe Destiny players just don't have much actual MMO experience :)

It might incorporate some small MMO elements, but that doesn't make it an MMO. Much like how even though Madden 16 incorporates some RPG elements (quests, experience, level ups) it certainly is not an RPG.

And with its extremely light content and expensive "expansions" that are also light on content, and platform exclusive content, and platform exclusive timed DLC inside of DLC, it certainly doesn't follow any "MMO model" as someone claimed it does.
