So Is Destiny A bit of good?4759047
Destiny doesn't have doubt been one of this years most talked about games. For months rumors have been circulating online, magazines, social networking systems about the game, communicating with them varying from what it really will look like, feel like and appear to be. Well, as of last Tuesday we are able to finally answer those questions.
Destiny, a casino game released by Bungie - legendary game developers behind mega-hits Halo and Call of Duty - is a mamoth MMO/FSI title set inside our solar system. The dwelling of the story is that, in the distant future, humanity entered a golden age and therefore attianed the technology and the ability to travel across the solar system. Using 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 mankind in tatters as various species of alien lifeforms invaded our planet, leaving us with one pitifully small city to use being a HQ for taking back our lost empire - type of the crux with the game.
So my point is, could it be any good?
What you usually expect from such highly-anticipated video games is beautiful, crisp graphics with ridiculously meticulous focus on detail and Destiny achieves this spectacularly. Every conceivable object looks incredible, varying in the way grass and bushes sway within the wind, towards the way your characters hands crease and fold just as if they were real hands. There are no doubts how the game looks spectacular - congratulations Bungie on that front.
However, while you play with the single-player - a location that most FSI titles often ignore nowadays, instead concentrating on multi-player - things start getting a little dull. You begin to will no longer take notice of the beautiful graphics and instead begin to groan on the repetitive gameplay of descending out of your spaceship to the moon, shooting the right path through waves of weak enemies without dying, obtaining an artifact from a cavern while emptying clip after clip of ammunition at a bullet-sponge 'boss' enemy, before completing the mission only to repeat the identical steps in the following one.
The single-player mode is certainly not other than boring. It offers 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 could very well be the largest multi-player game ever created; actually, you can't even take part in the game without being connecting to the web (a bummer without it), which suggests you're constantly attached to other gamers. Inside 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 through its levelling up, 'loot 'n' shoot', Borderlands style gameplay. You'll find nothing more exciting amongst people than upgrading your weapon and armour and also noticing that you have become just about invincible to your enemies (online as well as offline).
Overall, destiny 2 inventory is an extremely good game that's certainly definitely worth the money, nonetheless it just feels a bit disappointing as there is very little there that seems original. We've seen it all before, and that is perhaps whyit was not getting the rave reviews that we were expecting.
