A Thought About Destiny's Reception (Destiny)

A reviewer is confused if they say this, " We were expecting a true next-gen MMO, but Destiny lacks the requirements for accomplishing that goal."

The story isn't great, but it isn't nearly as repetitive as some are making it out to be. The strikes are incredibly repetitive, but not moreso than Halo's Fire fight mode. I would have love more dynamic gameplay, but honestly, compared to other grade A FPS's this game has a lot to it. The PVP alone is a wonderfully fun experience.

My main point is this, if you come to this game with MMO expectations you will be disappointed. Lot's of reviewers were confused with what genre this game was in. Bungie repeatedly said, "It's not an MMO." If you are a reviewer, comparing this to other MMO's, you clearly missed something. Some of the reviews are very confused in my opinion. Is Destiny a 9 or 10, possibly, maybe 8 is more justifiable. But the 6's and 7's are ridiculous to me when you compare this game to what is on the market for FPS's.

Is the story repetitive across all the locations? I didn't think so personally. The first time I said, wow, this is repetitive was after I was doing the strike playlist (3-4 runs of most strikes had happened). But, what do strikes compare to? Firefight. How do strikes compare to Halo's fire fight? They are waaaaaaay more dynamic than that, not at all repetitive like Fire Fight is, yet... People LOVE fire fight. There is definitely confusion somewhere.
