Is it worth buying Destiny? (Destiny)

Yeah, I'd be playing with some friends. In fact, that's the only reason I'm considering it. Good to know that makes it better.

As you said, being a fan forum an all, there's bias, but I truly believe that with a good group of friends, Destiny is some of the most fun you can have in video games. You don't even have to do the Raid or high-level end game stuff. Just screwing around a killing things in patrol, knocking out bounties, is incredibly fun with like-minded friends.

It would have been better to get Destiny right when the Taken King was released, just because the excitement was high and everyone was having a collective experience of discovery. That's largely gone now, with people cruising through the Raid and the strikes. But even so, it's a fun game to kill aliens in with your buddies.

If you decide to get it, throw up your Gamertag or PSN ID and we'll jump in with you. Many of the folks here are still incredibly active in Destiny--more often than not if I've got ten friends online, eight or nine of them are playing Destiny.
