So Is Destiny Any Good?4641782

Destiny does not have any doubt been one of this years most discussed games. For months rumors have already been circulating online, magazines, social media marketing systems in regards to the game, asking questions varying from what it will look like, feel like and seem like. Well, by last Tuesday we can finally answer those questions.

Destiny, a casino game released by Bungie - legendary game developers behind mega-hits Halo and Cod - can be a mamoth MMO/FSI title set within the confines of our solar system. The framework of the story is the fact that, in the distant future, humanity entered a golden age and therefore attianed the technology and the ability to travel across the solar system. With the desire to travel however, also came the will to obtain knowledge and secrets, thus unlocking hidden dark truths behind our solar system. The effect was utter destruction, leaving mankind in tatters as various types of alien lifeforms invaded the planet, leaving us with one pitifully small city where you can use as a HQ for taking back our lost empire - sort of the crux with the game.

So my point is, can it be any good?

Everything you usually expect from such highly-anticipated video gaming is beautiful, crisp graphics with ridiculously meticulous attention to detail and Destiny achieves this spectacularly. Every possible object looks incredible, varying from 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 isn't any doubts that the game looks spectacular - well done Bungie on that front.

However, while you play from the single-player - a location that most FSI titles tend to ignore nowadays, instead focusing on multi-player - things start to get a little dull. You commence to no longer take notice of the beautiful graphics and instead commence to groan at the repetitive gameplay of descending from the spaceship about the moon, shooting your 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 next one.

The single-player mode is nothing 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 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; in reality, you can't even take part in the game without having to be connecting to the internet (a bummer without it), which suggests you're constantly connected 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 thru its levelling up, 'loot 'n' shoot', Borderlands style gameplay. There's nothing more exciting hanging around than upgrading your weapon and armour and in actual fact noticing you have become virtually invincible to your enemies (online along with offline).

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