    I think the hype is way overblown for this game..

     

    I truly hope am wrong.

    The next evolution of the first-person action genre? Did they smoke something bad? Really now this game is just Mass Effect, it plays like it the game also has the same damn plot, oh and with a max level of 20? What is this Guild Wars come on, yes the max is 20 not 30 like they say because your Account level can be 30 but your character will still only be able to wear level 20 armor and all the missions at 20 will be level 20 not 30, also another problem with this game is every damn map has the same missions it's worse than normal mmorpgs, no really if you played the beta you should know this game is 100% the same quests on every freaking map it got old fast.

    When it comes to longevity, as it is now, I'd say Destiny will probably do as well as Diablo 3, since it's loot based FPS RPG game. It has PVP element unlike Diablo 3, but it doesn't have the replay value of Diablo IMHO, so it kind of evens out.

    If Bungie manages to push quality DLCs on regular basis, it has the potential to be an outstanding game. If not, people will play it for couple of months and that's it.

    Destiny is just Borderlands is it not? a FPS that can be played co-op and is about loot drops, it does the bare minimum to be an MMO.  I don't see how 3v3 or 6v6 is next gen.  I cant help but feel this hype train will crash and it will be a big one.  

    These console gamers don't know what truly defines an MMO. 

    Wake me up when something deserves my attention.

    Planetside 2 is over a year old and it outdoes Destiny in almost every aspect IMO (especially when it comes to stuff that matters to me - such as massive number of players fighting)

     You mean massive zergs and People avoiding fighting and just do base flipping?

    Yeah that´s some Incredible PVP experience right there. /shrug

    At least Destiny is prepared for PC with mouse and keyboard. :) There is a big round cursor when going through menus, vendor menus and character sheets.
     
    Was a bit suprised at that to be honest. Hehe.

    Except Borderlands does it a little better I think....

    So, is this a co-op game or a mmo? Are zones non instanced with lots of ppl in them or you see only your party or just a few ppl in general?

    Planet zones are seamless, but planets are, as expected, separated by loading screens. You can meet people who are not in your party, but there's a cap. I don't know the limit. It's somewhat of a mix between GW1 and SWTOR.

    If zones are indeed seamless its great.  Also if there is a cap of at least 100+ players in each zone this imho is totally acceptable.

    Btw are there any numbers about the most Pre-Ordered IP in history?

    Thanks.

    Console gamers have been playing mmos since final fantasy 11 and Everquest Adventures.  Planetside 2 will be released later this year too on PS4.  Currently there are a lot of console gamers playing Final Fantasy 14 ARR

    And yet another game that could have been so much more if not for the limitations of the console.

    True gaming evolutions can not happen on a console, it seems a decent enough game so far but nothing that special.

     

    Claims it is the most pre ordered IP in history is pretty bold too, I would be quite shocked if other IPs havent been pre ordered more than this game.

    Could have been so much more what?   If it had not been for what limitations?

    Don't feed him.

    Apparently, we're getting PC games with limitless content and features all the time, while our ancient consoles can not match the superb hardware that each and every PC gamer has at home.

    I am a bit confused about the disdain. Is this game trying to be an MMO ? I think it is just a coop game so what is the problem with its popularity. Obviously people enjoy this type of game. I personally loved Mass Effect to death and if this game comes to the PC I will be trying to play , though me and action combat are mortal enemies but I will give it a good old college try.

    Lol - I love that "apparently" I didn't know either, all i ever see is half ass bugged up broken pay to win games., I also love the PS2 comparison too, thats about like comparing a pitbull to a flower. Ps2 is a zerg fest and if you're into that then Ps2 is the game for you. The 6v6 pvp in Destiny on the other hand appeals to people who like 6v6 or smaller maps. They can easily Co exist.

    I have a nice PC, the Wii U and PS4. I enjoy games on each platform.

    So far Destiny is great! Enjoying the heck out of it. Action and atmosphere is tense! Blasting with my Sparrow across the landscape. :)

    I'm just glad I'm finally getting games that will make use of my ps4... Diablo 3 has been goods and now this. Up until now, it's been collecting dust while I jump from mmo to mmo

    Preorder numbers measure the hype of the game not its quality and yes, destiny has a lot of hype.
  • TerminalDeityTerminalDeity Member UncommonPosts: 133

    I don't understand how this game is even REMOTELY a step forward for gaming in any way. Also, FPS games where you shoot "bosses" 10,000 times over the course of 5 minutes are BEYOND retarded. How is this "content"?

    Destiny will be the WoW of MMOFPS?

    Please explain. I am guessing you have been playing Destiny on console too? can you break down these aspects for us?
    Massive battles involving 1000s of players - including land/air vehicles -   Destiny's scope - 6 players. PS2 - huge world maps Destiny - small single playable map per world.   The scope of PS2 - massive The scope of Destiny - small   PS2 - free to play Destiny - $60   Yes PS2 is a PvP only game - but it blows Destiny out of the water in terms of longevity and replay.  
    According to you. The things you listed aren't things that everyone might like. So if those things don't interest them, just how exactly does PS2 blow Destiny out of the water? At the end of the day none of the things you listed matter one bit. If you were a "gamer" the only thing that would really matter is, "is it fun?" Also how exactly are you judging the longevity of a game that isn't even out yet? What is your conclusion based around? That PS2 is a pvp game? That it has been out longer?
    Yes according to me - my post is my personal opinion and view.

    You are 100% correct - things I stated are my preference - and some might not like them, such is the nature of personal opinion.

    If massive scale or PvP is not to someone's liking - they won't like PS2 - it's simple.

    I am judging longevity of the game by scale and number of players participating - if the game has massive battles with 100s of players - I tend to play those games for years.

    Small group oriented FPS games with lobbies and small maps - I tend to play for a month and never go back to them.

    Again - this is 100% my personal preference and is not meant to be representative of anything else.

    For me PS2 is far better than Destiny as far as FPS games go due to bigger battles, *much* better PvP and massive scale.

    100% my opinion - don't take it for anything more.

     It´s a step forward in the FPS genre. And after upteenth rehash of CoD and BF versions, Destiny is breath of fresh air!

    Been playing hours non-stop and the variation in gameplay and stuff to do is so far impressive. And I have so far only been playing on the Old Russia map. Which is huge. Still haven´t seen more than 30% of it.

    I haven´t even touched the Moon yet. Venus and Mars aren´t even showing up yet for me.

    If this Russia map is anything to go by, I am honestly eating my words from the past about the game being small!

    I haven´t done any Crubible PVP yet either.
