[Kotaku]I played Destiny and it was kind of boring (Destiny)

by Cody Miller , Music of the Spheres - Never Forgot, Monday, April 28, 2014, 23:26 (3644 days ago) @ Leviathan

Heh, even if it isn't, "boring" has truly never turned me off of anything. 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, 30-minute Pink Floyd songs with 10 minutes of dogs barking...

But those things are unique. Kotaku's point was that Destiny is not unique, and does not carve out an identity for itself, but is rather an imitation of so many things that end up lacking what the originals had without having a feel of its own.

From a company that is known for unique games with a strong identity / style / feel, this is not good news.

Marathon? No other game like it.
Myth? No other game like it.
Oni? No other game like it.
Halo? No other game like it.
Destiny? Like tons of games.

Remember, the gaming media is paid to lie to you, so anything negative they have to say is actually worse.
