Nah. (Destiny)

Either way, better story missions and user-created content would both help a lot :)

Sure! I remember being in awe at all the features Halo 3 was going to come with. I remember thinking that even if some other "Halo killer" manages to ship a decent single player they'd also have to contend with Halo's multiplayer. And if they somehow also managed to do that they'd need to rework their engines to provide Theater Mode functionality. And if they did all three of those they'd still need to support something like Forge. It was an amazingly complete package. Destiny... isn't.

But! As much as Destiny didn't live up to what we wanted, it could also be much worse! For example: Crysis 2. It was pretty... but everything else was crap. The enemies were strangely hard to fight effectively. The story was nonsensical and weighed down by constantly changing villains spouting meaningless buzzwords at you about your supersuit. And the multiplayer was that horrible Call of Duty style unlock system that almost seemed interesting until I got utterly destroyed in the first couple of matches by players who had heavy machine guns that I could not yet even use.

For all its faults, Destiny still has a extremely solid core that can be built on and a studio that seems willing to build upon it. And part of that building upon should include user generated content for those who do like it. :)
