Destiny's Impossible Raid Can Be Beaten in Under Two Hours

Honestly, things like this are keeping Destiny out of my hands. I really thought they would expand the gameplay after the beta. it was fun playing stuff for about a week during the beta but if I'm actually buying the game now, should'nt there be, like new content?

and playing missions over and over does not sound too attractive. It wasn't too fun during the beta either.

Destiny hate needs to stop.. i honestly think people doing the hating havent played it enough.. or simply not at all

@teknium_ Or they have a justifiable point of view after having played the game plenty. You're happy with it clearly, others aren't. The shooting is excellent but that doesn't stop the content being incredibly tedious and repetitive, particularly after the story is done.

yeah.. but pretty much every game with mmo/rpg type gameplay could be described as being the same.. ff14 end game is effing ridiculously tedious..ni no kuni, borderlands are the same.. lol but also some of my fave games.. but really a lot of the stuff aimed at destiny is unfair..gaming is full of hatred, and i find that disappointing..i can remember being 10yo(thirty odd years ago) or so and talking about zx spectrum and commodore 64(thats right kids.. system wars arent a new thing!) games on the school playground, and thats all we did.. talked.. no hatred just a simple pleasure for the games we were playing.. and to be honest thats how destiny has me.. just the simple pleasure of enjoying a great game.

@wittypixel I've played a lot of hours over the past week and I have to say I find the endgame content very light and incredibly repetitive if you're not into grinding through the same content over and over hunting for better gear....that currently doesn't matter because there is nothing to do with but hunt for better gear and raise your level higher...and after level 20 it's a trudge. There isn't any greater goal I can see that gives it all some meaning.

I just have an issue with difficulty equalling standard enemies that take an entire clip to kill and bosses that can annihilate you with a single shot. If you find that fun, more power to you, but in a game based on skill, I find it incredibly tedious. The worst thing about the game, in my opinion.

@teknium_ Personally I found that Borderlands and Ni No Kuni had more story content to them so it didn't feel like I was rushing towards the end game like I did with Destiny...which pushes you to get there....I do really like Destiny and I'm invested in its world, but I'm looking forward to what all the level grinding is going to be for.

@ShogunRok That is annoying. My main issue is the way the game shoved me along towards the end like there was something exciting and juicy waiting for me...and so far it's item hunting and level grinding, and endless repetition makes me cringe to be honest.

I've had the game since the midnight launch, logged plenty of hours, and have yet to beat the story line. I'm taking my sweet time( already level 24), it's all about what people are into. I'm a huge RPG fan, never been that into FPS games, but the loot collecting and grinding are things I'm used to and enjoy. For me the story hasn't shoved me along or seemed underwhelming, it's just been the story of the game I'm playing.

@Munkyknuts the thing I liked so much about Boarderlands was that there was a LONG story but there was also loads and loads of side quests to do!

Everyone else......
The only thing I'm gutted about is the Raid has to be done with friends some people I've spoken to likes this feature but most are with me and think they should have match making for this mode too.

Im not sold on it, it didnt do much for me, though i may get it, my focus is other games

I enjoyed the beta and the game looks fantastic.. But from everything I've heard I'm probably gonna stay away from it. There are other games out there I'd like to put my time into that sound more enjoyable

@teknium_ It's just like that on the internet, a group of 10 people or 15 saying they hate the game can sound like thousands of people that don't like it. Put it this way, I doubt that half of them or even a quarter of the Destiny population are disappointed, very doubtful. I've heard so many positive things and those picking negatives, well, I can point to negatives in any game out there, any game even the most popular of games I can find a negative a few negatives if not more.

Here's the other thing that I know since witnessing it with all MMORPG's out there. If the developers cater to the people complaining and decide to do what they say, once they change or do whatever to the game, those people will be the first to jump ship.

thats kind of what i thought when i read through the article again!..it did get a great score and was well received...what i was saying wasnt aimed at any particular person..just a lot of gamers are whiney little s***s these days...really enjoying pushsquare btw..someone who is a regular here mentioned it to me awhile ago but ive only just recently seen the light and started reading stuff here... well written, informative,the video player works and comments arent powered by disqus,and the community seem like a good bunch too.

Destiny is a huge commercial succes, but critically it gets a lot of crap. Partly understandable, but a lot of it is just not living up to the enormous hype. There was absolutely no way Destiny could ever bring us what we were expecting. Although I do like the game's mechanics, I'm actually glad it receives the criticism it gets: I don't like the industry going to these huge games which have to cater to ALL players. I want my diablo to be my diablo and my halo to be my halo.
With Destiny I had the same feeling as I got from playing watchdogs; it's as if they had 1000 gamers fill in a questionnaire where they were asked what they wanted to see in a game... They threw all of that together and combined it in a game. There is not a thing in Destiny I am supposed not to like, still I don't like it. The title song says it all for me. You can pay for Paul McCartey, hire the best musicians and put them in the most expensive studio.... A "soul" simply can't be bought. They game is as bland and boring as its titlesong is and I honestly hope big studios will learn their lesson. But I'm afraid the money for part 2 will be equally good or better, so I guess we gamers have to be more careful with what we buy. Although it's obvious you shouldn't fall for the hype, it was pretty hard to ignore this puppy.

@teknium_ I agree with your sentiments regarding gaming of yesteryear. I too discussed games on the spectrum and Commodore 64 and there was no malice towards rival systems. It all started with Sega vs Nintendo but even then it was largely in good humour. The hatred from some in the gaming community spread by trolls and the like is very disappointing. Maybe I'm getting cantankerous in my old age but spreading the love is more rewarding than spreading the hate.

Regarding Destiny, I'm loving it, despite its flaws! Most fun I've had with a game in a while. I can see why some people don't think it's great, but surely even the most ardent naysayers should be able to acknowledge that it has some merit.

i like Destiny for what it is....a GAME. Some people keep complaining about it.... well then its ease just play something else and let us who enjoys Destiny enjoy it

Can anyone who owns both tell me if Titanfall or Destiny is the better game? I understand they are different beasts but both FPSs were massively hyped and fell short of expectations.

Do not fall off the big rock! 1:00:30

@ShogunRok yeah, I don't know what was going on in the crucible in one match I played, dudes were just not going down, found a guy spawned and not playing, took two full clips to the head, a knife throw and a good few stabs to kill him, might just be the case of I'm lvl 21 he's 25 but that stinks a bit.

@get2sammyb I think you nailed it to be honest. I like the game and its endgame stuff. But it could be better, and there could be more variety.

The biggest issue I have is the lack of social interaction. For example I can't do the weekly strike unless I have my own fireteam. We need matchmaking for everything. I can understand the raid not having it but everything else????
