depends on the type of player you are i suppose... the game pretty much breaks down into pve activities and pvp activities

i personally enjoy playing against other players so i tend to play the pvp activities more

the pve side is broken up into various team oriented activities - such as exploring the world and killing bad guys to collect gear, strikes where your objective is to follow a path with a boss at the end, raids which are pretty much very large and complex strikes

there's also the campaign which has a story i suppose

and the list goes on, despite what many people say destiny in my opinion has more replay value and better gameplay ( the controls and mechanics are very good ) than most other games, but i suppose you'll have to decide for yourself

i'm waiting for the pc launch later today but i started playing destiny 1 close to the end of the first year

Is the story any good?

I generally play as sniper or assult classes.
I don't care at all for PvP.

Will I be able to kill enemies in one shot?

The story is better than the first, but it's nothing to brag about.

Some sniper rifles will be able to kill enemies in one shot, but not tougher enemies and bosses.

I prefer PvE as well - the game does a good job of seamlessly working with others in things like public events. I generally don't play co-op stuff, but its probably my favorite part of the game.
