Legend_in_blue Posted 13 September 2014 Share Posted 13 September 2014 "With its banal universe and flavorless style, Destiny is packed with content, but just ... well ... content. There's a great PvP mode, and the leveling system can be rewarding, but nonetheless this is a pretty, rock-solid, ultimately pedestrian product." Amen to that. Comparing this to Diablo isn't fair on Diablo. 90 vs. 75. It's the third highest ranking game on PS4 for a reason. Even Watchdogs manages 80. A few more negative reviews and it's on a par with Knack.

Adster Posted 13 September 2014 Author Share Posted 13 September 2014 No I haven't. The beta was enough to convince me not to buy the game. They might be both completely different games but they're also very similar in that they were completely overhyped, promised more than they actually delivered and ultimately are a disappointment for what they represent. It's getting 7s and 8s, just like Watchdogs. I'd hope that people expect more from next gen than just a generic and solid fps experience, if not, this generation of consoles is going to be a huge disappointment. Generic FPS. Do you have something against Bungie or Activision? You don't even have the game, there's no way you can possibly pass any form of solid verdict.

It's a solid FPS with some RPG/MMO elements thrown in. Read all the reviews, positive and negative, and they all share a common theme - solid, fun, generic FPS gameplay. The beta was identical to it. As one reviewer put it, jack of all trades, master of none. I'm out of this one, can't be bothered wasting my time stating the obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause you'd know that cause you've played the game a lot haven't you. You really are shallow. Just cause you've read a few reviews you're sat on your high horse and suddenly don't need to buy the game and form your OWN (yes, you're own! Not a reviewer!) opinion. There's no point even trying to argue. You haven't played the game properly, your opinion is irrelevant and misguided. Cya then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A) You don't even have a copy of the game yourself B) You don't even know what 'Beta' means. Every single game is an 'extension' of its Beta. A Beta is just an early build of a game, the same game.....So I fail to see how 'Destiny is just an extension of its Beta' is a problem when considering that is the same for every single game, whether Destiny, Watch Dogs or Diablo.

Frank_mckenzie Posted 14 September 2014 Share Posted 14 September 2014 Started a new game with a hunter after getting to level 22 with my warlock, level 8 so far and started using the hand cannon which I'm finding great fun. Reckon we should all be in a clan so always have someone to Co op with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisNedry Posted 14 September 2014 Share Posted 14 September 2014 The game is fun. Did the prologue on Thursday but didn't have time to do much more until this afternoon. I've just spent a solid 3 or 4 hours on it and growing into it nicely after feeling a bit lost initially. I can see myself getting addicted to this game! LiB - Good on you for waiting for the games rush, but I'm not that patient. I've got Assassin's Creed Unity, Far Cry 4, The Evil Within, Walking Dead S1/2 for PS4, Littlebigplanet 4 all pre-ordered for October/November, but Destiny looks like it'll fill my time till then nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manwell Pablo Posted 14 September 2014 Share Posted 14 September 2014 The game is fun to play, but to be fair to LiB I do agree with what he's saying I've put a few hours in and unless this gets much better it's nothing ground breaking, nice idea and mechanics are great but 500 million dollars or whatever it was? Disappointing. Quite why he has to say in such an annoying manner on a bi daily basis I will admit confuses me but I don't think he's entirely wrong.

Adster Posted 14 September 2014 Author Share Posted 14 September 2014 Deffo a fan of the competitive multiplayer on this, it's a blast with friends. It's great bar the annoying, utterly awful voice over guy. Bit annoying however that a fireteam in co-op can only have up to three players in. I'd like to play the co-op with all my friends and sometimes we have to leave someone out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can it sway you to purchase a ps4 pablo? I might get Destiny once it's cheap or borrow a copy from someone. Hey Dennis, that's at least £150 worth of pre orders! Wow!

Manwell Pablo Posted 15 September 2014 Share Posted 15 September 2014 How does the Fireteam Co-op stuff work, Im a much lower level than most of the people I know who play this game if I co-op on one of their missions do I get level bumped up to make it possible to do or does it keep you at your low level making the whole thing pointless.

Manwell Pablo Posted 15 September 2014 Share Posted 15 September 2014 Also another question if you play in the crucible does your level matter for all game types, I.e no point in playing it until your level 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grewks Posted 15 September 2014 Share Posted 15 September 2014 Also another question if you play in the crucible does your level matter for all game types, I.e no point in playing it until your level 20 All weapons/armor of their own type have the same damage/defence. So a level 1 Auto Rifle does the same damage in the crucible as a level 20 auto rifle in order to balance the levels. However, higher level weapons do unlock better bonuses. For example, legendary weapons allow unlocks of new scopes, the chance for your enemy to blow up after death etc...However the base damage in the crucible for weapons of the same type is the same to balance lower and upper levels.

No you do not get bumped to their level. It doesn't do this in order to ensure you have content still to play when you hit higher levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual gameplay of Destiny is pretty much identical to Diablo 3, except in Diablo your holding a single button to attack rather than aiming down sights and firing. Destiny is a FPS version of Diablo, the only difference is Diablo has a lot more loot drops. It's actually pretty interesting seeing that all they had to do with Destiny is make more useless loot drop and people would have rated it higher.
