Understanding how Destiny will play

I've started to get the idea in my mind that Destiny is going to be a lot like Borderlands. You'll have a big open world with a story thread and lots of side missions, building your character along the way, finding awesome guns, etc - but with public events and a persistent world.

Those last two are not just throw-away features. I remember when people said the iPad was "just a big iPhone"; it's basically true, but that means a lot more than it sounds like it means. Public Events sound fun, and the persistent world will be interesting to see (assuming you can't ruin it for everybody else by being a turd).

This is NOT meant to diminish the excitement for Destiny in any way, nor is this any kind of intentional flame bait. Totally sincere.
