So Is Destiny A bit of good?4744544

Destiny does not have any doubt been among this years most discussed games. For months rumors have already been circulating online, magazines, social media systems about the game, communicating with them varying from what it will look like, think that and appear to be. Well, by last Tuesday we can finally answer those questions.

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

So my point is, can 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 conceivable object looks incredible, varying from the way grass and bushes sway inside the wind, to the way your characters hands crease and fold just like if they were real hands. There are no doubts how the game looks spectacular - congratulations Bungie on that front.

However, as you play from the single-player - an area that most FSI titles tend to ignore nowadays, instead emphasizing multi-player - things get a little dull. You commence to no longer take notice of the beautiful graphics and instead start to groan at the repetitive gameplay of descending out of your 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 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 Call of Duty, and leaves us asking precisely what did the developers spend their $300 million budget on?

However, the thrill of the game comes in its multi-player mode - the hugely rewarding Crucible. Destiny could very well be the largest multi-player game ever created; actually, you can't even take part in the game without getting connecting to the internet (a bummer without it), which means you're constantly linked to other gamers. In 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's nothing more exciting amongst people than upgrading your weapon and armour and in actual fact noticing that you've become virtually invincible to your enemies (online along with offline).

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