I've always wanted to play that mission.

Get destiny.

Meh. I didnt get into the beta. I bought fifa. Trying to get that to hold me over

A bunch of my friends play constantly so I kinda want to get it but I just dont think I will like it very much

It will bide your time until november. The multiplayer aspect of it is fun, frick the single player.

I'll probably redbox Destiny.

Thats crazy


I thought all the halo games were released in November.


but its been 7 years since they have put out a good game

I keep almost buying it but something is stopping me. Cant explain it. Which to me means I probably shouldnt buy it

Campaign is kind of weak but the multiplayer is fun. If you have another game you think you'll stay into until november I would stick with that.

ETA: Jon Bois ranted about Destiny on Breaking Madden this week, and it was pretty accurate.

I've played maybe four hours of Destiny, which appears to be about as deep as Wolfenstein 3D. This is every mission:

Ghost: WE MUST GO TO THE SURFACE TO GET THE SWORD OF WHATEVER
[you kill a bunch of aliens]
Ghost: HOLD ON I'M HACKING INTO THE WHATEVER COMPUTER
[you wait around]
Ghost: HOLD ON IT'S TAKING A WHILE
[you kill a bunch of aliens while waiting around]
Ghost: OK DONE WITH THE WHATEVER SWORD COMPUTER WHATEVER. THEY WON'T BELIEVE THIS!
[you go back to base, nobody cares or ever says more than three or four words]
GHOST: WE MUST GO TO THE MOON TO STOP THE WHATEVER THING

I think I'm realizing that as I get older, I continue to like the heck out of video games, but I need to be able to make meaningful decisions that I actually have to think about. Destiny, despite its record budget, is maybe the worst, most uneven attempt at storytelling I've seen from any kind of thing in years.

And even that doesn't matter much to me, as long as you let me build my own story. Maybe it's calling the right plays in Madden, assembling a starting five that hums well together in NBA 2K, building an economic empire in Civilization, or even figuring out how to get the goddang legs to move in QWOP. Destiny is gorgeous, but the gameplay feels about as thoughtful as pointing and clicking your way through the world's worst operating system. I play it and feel like I'm killing time, and that's an awful feeling.
