So Is Destiny Any Good?

Wiki Article

Destiny doesn't have doubt been certainly one of this years most discussed games. For months rumors happen to be circulating around the internet, magazines, social media systems about the game, asking them questions varying from what it will look like, feel like and sound like. Well, by last Tuesday we are able to finally answer those questions.


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

So my point is, could it be any good?

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

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

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

However, the excitement of the game is available in its multi-player mode - the hugely rewarding Crucible. Destiny is perhaps the largest multi-player game ever created; in reality, you can't even play the game without getting connecting to the internet (a bummer without it), which means you're constantly attached to other gamers. Within 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 via its levelling up, 'loot 'n' shoot', Borderlands style gameplay. There is nothing more exciting in the game than upgrading your weapon and armour and also noticing you have become pretty much invincible to your enemies (online along with offline).

Overall, destiny 2 inventory is an extremely good game that's certainly worth the money, nonetheless it just feels just a little disappointing as there is very little there that appears original. We've seen it all before, which is perhaps whyit was not getting the rave reviews that we were expecting.
