Have y'all been able to talk to any teamates in crucible that weren't already in your fireteam? I haven't heard a single person. It just seems odd.

I enjoy base game so far. I do agree with lack of mission variety, but game is still fun and feels right and good. I understand others not loving it though.

I've leveled most my with friends..very little solo. I don't know how much of a difference that makes with peoples overall opinion

I've played with other people, but I play solo most of the time. I do a good bit of strikes w/ random people also. Still enjoy the game.

I've enjoyed the game too. As I said earlier, when I'm just going around on Patrols and what not, it is really fun. Playing the strikes with friends is a lot of fun. There is so much there, but there is also so much obvious stuff that was just not done.

Majority of my time with the game has been spent with friends (I'm playing right now actually). I'm enjoying it a lot right now.

My fear is that it will be like Titanfall for me. The game is fun as shite, but eventually the repetitiveness of it just allows me to move on to something else.

Basically this. It sort of feels like Bungie either a) bit off more than they could chew or b) that ridiculous marketing budget led to the game being way too hyped up

The Beta was lame.

Game is Mass Effect with a shitty PvP mode.

Not as good shooting mechanics

ME had a galaxy to explore. Destiny doesn't even make it past our inner asteroid belt.

I wouldn't say better, but different.

This is a concern of mine. If they fail to deliver in the base game and want to add content through DLC, I'm not giving them a dime.


Well, they already announced the expansions coming down the line. Surely you expect expanded content through DLC along with the free content updates they're already doing.

they should have at least had a couple different missions, like a race. Every single mission is go this point, let Dinklebot scan stuff while you fight off waves of enemies, go to next point, backtrack through places you've already been, he unlocks more doors, more waves, final big boss who is a bullet sponge. I'm not saying you have to redefine the whole genre, but some variety would have been nice.


No cognitive dissonance with GCAu

Serious question, how is that different than halo?

Halo CE or Bordelands for that matter

Absolutely love the co-op and story mode but as others have said, the multiplayer is the definition of meh.

I know they are but how they do it is key for me.

I feel the exact opposite. The co-op is fun, but the missions are repetitive and the story just feels like bad sic-fi. I love the crucible, but I do wish there was a game type that removed supers and weapon upgrades.

Another issue I have is that you need to use their website for way too much stuff. Want to start a clan? Go to bungie.com. Annoyed we told the story poorly and want understand the lore more by looking at all those G---- cards? Go to the website. Redeem a code? Website.

No trading either seems dumb when you can get class specific items.

I saw a great tweet earlier that basically said Destiny is a game designed to advertise a website.

Another complaint I have is, why can't I just look at my vanguard level in the menu? I have to visit the hunter to see it.
