What a conveniant excuse.
Yeah, no.  Not at all.

"You haven´t played it enough to see it´s greatness" serves nothing more than handwaving the issues..... again.

Look at the actual points people are making and you´ll see that....surprise: Most people who don´t enjoy it share the same complaints.

That is not true.

Take the case of reviews... each reviews complain about something different that others reviews... there is no consensus.

It is so random complain that VG247 did that:

Did you played it?

What the hell man.... The problem list goes on and on and on and on omg rofl.... xD

Destiny totally excels at one thing: being a jack of all trades, master of none.



I don't play games to have fun, I play games to tell people I played games that some reviewer told me was good.



Thanks jlmurph!

I would imagine that Destiny is "fun to play" in-so-much as Unreal Tournament was "fun to play" on Dreamcast back in the day. It was fun if you enjoy FPS battle mode, online. But beyond that there isn't much to it, which is the biggest knock that I've heard against Destiny. It is what it is.

Was it overhyped? Yeah. But it's basically Halo: Battle Mode Edition. Nothing surprising there.



it is fun for plenty of gamers

where it falls down is that it pushed masses of consoles for PS4 and will continue the carnage, just unacceptable to some when it could have been boxclusive



  

I smell like the dark forest of Dwemereth in the morning mist                                                   fanboy til i'm bankrupt

Destiny is down.

Life become pointless... nothing to do... dammit.



You say to screw reviews... then give a review score...

The game is a tad iffy at first, but once you get into the swing of things, you find the amount of content and potential hours of gameplay to be just phenomenal. I just reached Lvl 20, and I'm only getting started. Once the add-ons start coming and the content just piles on, this game will be a phenomenal beast.


Potential hours of gameplay is high because it takes a lot of hours to achieve some goals.

Unfortunately, you'll be grind that same tedious tasks over and over to achieve higher ranks and hopefully get some decent loot. This is what's turning people off.

 If it's the grinding that people hate, then they will hate pretty much hate 99.9% of RPGs, thus their opinion of a particular RPG is null and void. The game at least offers enough environment and mission variation to prevent from getting too repetitive. Sure, you'll still eventually find yorself rinsing and repeating to get the good stuff, but, as I mentioned already, that's pretty much every decent RPG ever. Destiny is just one of those games people have to be patient with. It's designed to be a super expansive universe, and what's already there is a decent enough start. I'm lvl 24 now, and I'm still enjoying kicking ass in the crucible, running strikes with friends, and exploring the worlds through patrols. So are the millions of other people who are still playing the game. 

Personally, I would give this game a solid 8.5 / 10

Plus, being completely homnest, it's far better than any Halo, and I hope Bungie sticks with it.

I was talking to someone that made the same point, but there's the hole in your argument... you ignore 99.9% of RPGs offer more content than Destiny.

How long to does it take to play through every repetitive story and strike mission in Destiny? About 8 hours or less if you grind in patrol for a few hours. Everything after that is basically just grinding the same shit ad nauseam.

PvP adds additional value, but compared to most shooters it offers few modes and maps. It seems Gears of War: Judgement offered more PvP content and it was panned for having so little.

Look, Destiny is a fun game. I just wish I didn't have to repeat such tedious tasks to achieve Rank 2 in Vanguard. They should have not bothered with a campaign and just made a bunch of strike mission because the story missions are garbage. Does anyone actually care to see the story continue?

Hah! Better than any Halo? You're a funny guy. Hey, enjoy your game.
