So Is Destiny Any Good?

Wiki Article

Destiny does not have any doubt been among this years most discussed games. For months rumors have been circulating around the web, magazines, social networking systems about the game, communicating with them varying from what it really will look like, think that and seem like. Well, as of last Tuesday we are able to finally answer those questions.


Destiny, a game released by Bungie - legendary game developers behind mega-hits Halo and Cod - is a mamoth MMO/FSI title set inside our solar system. The dwelling of the story is always that, in the distant future, humanity entered a golden age and therefore attianed the technology as well as the ability to travel round the solar system. With all the desire to travel however, also came the desire to obtain knowledge and secrets, thus unlocking hidden dark truths behind our solar system. The effect was utter destruction, leaving the human race in tatters as various varieties of alien lifeforms invaded our planet, leaving us with one pitifully small city where you can use as a HQ to take back our lost empire - kind of the crux from the game.

So my point is, can it be any good?

That which you usually expect from such highly-anticipated video gaming is beautiful, crisp graphics with ridiculously meticulous attention to detail and Destiny achieves this spectacularly. Every possible object looks incredible, varying from your way grass and bushes sway within the wind, for the way your characters hands crease and fold equally as if they were real hands. There aren't any doubts how the game looks spectacular - well done Bungie on that front.

However, while you play from the single-player - an area that most FSI titles have a tendency to ignore nowadays, instead emphasizing multi-player - things start to get a little dull. You begin to will no longer take notice of the beautiful graphics and instead begin to groan in the repetitive gameplay of descending from the spaceship on to the moon, shooting your way through waves of weak enemies without dying, obtaining an artifact from the cavern while emptying clip after clip of ammunition with a bullet-sponge 'boss' enemy, before completing the mission only to repeat exactly the same steps in these one.

The single-player mode are few things other than boring. It offers almost nothing original, unlike Halo and Call of Duty, and leaves us asking exactly what did the developers spend their $300 million budget on?

However, the joy of the game comes in its multi-player mode - the hugely rewarding Crucible. Destiny is probably the largest multi-player game ever created; actually, you can't even play in the game without being connecting to the internet (a bummer without having it), meaning you're constantly attached to other gamers. Inside the Crucible, you'll find very familiar gme modes - team deathmatch, checkpoint control and capture the flag - but everything runs so smoothly with highly entertaining gameplay throughout.

Where Destiny excels best though is through its levelling up, 'loot 'n' shoot', Borderlands style gameplay. There's nothing more exciting hanging around than upgrading your weapon and armour and also noticing you have become just about invincible to your enemies (online along with offline).

Overall, destiny 2 inventory manager is a very good game that's certainly worth the money, however it just feels just a little disappointing while there is very little there that appears original. We have seen it all before, and that's perhaps whyit was not getting the rave reviews that people were expecting.
