Forums - Sony - A Destiny Impression from a relative gaming outsider

I loved playing Destiny. I had the same fun I had playing Halo 3 online for the first time, I haven't enjoyed a FPS online this much since Halo 3. I love the fact your gear from the Campaign goes into PvP. I kinda liked Reach with the powers but Destiny's powers just fit in so much better. I can't wait to experience the full game.

I'm not really an outsider when it comes to gaming but Destiny made me want to play the campaign where as with all COD's, Halo (2,3,4, Reach, ODST), Homefront and many others I never bothered with the campaigns beyond an hour or so.

I definitely think Destiny seems like a Halo/Mass Effect hybrid, which I don't mind because I loved both series'.



Make it So.

The universe doesn't hold a candle to Mass Effect. The gameplay doesn't hold a candle to Halo.

This is just PR journalism.


I beat Mass Effect 1, and got 2/3 through Mass Effect 2 before I got bored of it. From the little I saw in the Beta it has potential to be much more interesting to me. I honestly thought the ME games were overrated by a bunch of 14 years who like the fact the one chick (forgot her name) had massive breasts and the lead charater can have lesbian sex with a blue alien....

Not quite sure who this game is supposed to appeal to at the moment. Personally the beta failed to satiate my original hype, all its genre inspirations seem undercooked.

A minor example was all that time to hit level 2 to simply be able to use a grenade that runs on an rpg cooldown system. Boy did that throw me off. Not the best of first impressions, it didn't get much better as I progressed.

It is gorgeous though and the netcode is solid so I'll give it that at least.

what did you expect.... bam beat the intro mission YOUR LVL 2 now you have the ultimate ATTACK!

Might be why this game blew me away, because I was sortof in "keeping tabs on it" mode as opposed to hyped for it. Also, did anyone catch the fact that what they let us play in the beta was the games intro mission.... I mean when you beat all of them your lvl 6 or 7 can now do bounties and crucidle and you have all the basic skills on the ability tree. Literally where they cut us off was the situations to apply those abilities.
