So Is Destiny Any Good?8545246

Destiny has no doubt been among this years most discussed games. For months rumors have already been circulating around the internet, magazines, social networking systems in regards to the game, asking them questions varying from what it really will look like, seem like and seem like. Well, as of last Tuesday we are able to finally answer those questions.

Destiny, a game title released by Bungie - legendary game developers behind mega-hits Halo and Cod - can be a mamoth MMO/FSI title set in our solar system. The dwelling of the story is always that, in the distant future, humanity entered a golden age and therefore attianed the technology and 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 effect was utter destruction, leaving mankind in tatters as various types of alien lifeforms invaded our planet, leaving us with one pitifully small city where you can use like a HQ for taking back our lost empire - sort of the crux of the game.

So my point is, could it be any good?

Everything you usually expect from such highly-anticipated video gaming is beautiful, crisp graphics with ridiculously meticulous awareness of detail and Destiny achieves this spectacularly. Every conceivable object looks incredible, varying from your way grass and bushes sway in the wind, for the way your characters hands crease and fold just as if they were real hands. There are no doubts that the game looks spectacular - well done Bungie on that front.

However, when you play through the single-player - a location that most FSI titles tend to ignore nowadays, instead emphasizing multi-player - things get a little dull. You start to will no longer take notice of the beautiful graphics and instead commence to groan at the repetitive gameplay of descending from the spaceship on to 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 with a bullet-sponge 'boss' enemy, before completing the mission and then repeat the identical steps in these one.

The single-player mode are few things other than boring. It offers almost nothing original, unlike Halo and Cod, and leaves us asking just what did the developers spend their $300 million budget on?

However, the joy of the game will come in its multi-player mode - the hugely rewarding Crucible. Destiny is perhaps the largest multi-player game ever created; in reality, you can't even play the game without having to be connecting to the net (a bummer without having it), which suggests you're constantly connected 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 thru its levelling up, 'loot 'n' shoot', Borderlands style gameplay. You'll find nothing more exciting in the game than upgrading your weapon and armour and in actual fact noticing that you've become pretty much invincible to your enemies (online along with offline).

Overall, destiny 2 inventory is an extremely good game that's certainly well worth the money, however it just feels just a little disappointing because there is very little there that seems original. We've seen it all before, and that is perhaps whyit has not been getting the rave reviews that people were expecting.
