Ars Technica not sold on Destiny... yet.

Kickstarter... yes, because obviously Bungie and Activision need the pre-order money to keep developing the game.

This is why I don't buy those who say this reveal was all pre-planned. I think it's a response to the leaks, at least in part, or perhaps Activision is getting cold feet and wants there to be more hype.

And quite frankly, the gist of this information was "there" a year ago. We have a few more details, but otherwise, we're not sure what to expect. Okay it's some kind of MMO but we're not calling it that. Okay it has some phone integration. Okay there are some player classes.

What will the player be doing exactly?

Shooting things. It's a shooter.

Maybe I missed the train on that one, but it seems like Ars did too. Time to play the wait-and-see game.

Actually, it's not even that time yet. When they announce a release date, then it's time to start waiting. Until then is just the fun part, guessing what it's all going to be like.
