Third Person Social Space - Home of the Guardians, the Tower is a third person social hub where you can regroup, rearm, and form new alliances before venturing beyond the safety of the City's walls.DESTINATIONS
EARTH
Our home. After the Darkness swept over us, we found the Traveler where it made its last stand. Beneath, we built The City – our last – within its protective aura. From here, Guardians stand watch, defend our civilization, and strike out into the wild frontiers of Earth – and beyond – to reclaim our lost worlds.MARS
What little we know of Mars may as well be a myth. We built a massive metropolis in the red dust. The Darkness swept nearly all of it away; the sand itself claimed the rest. No one knows what remains of our lost age, now buried beneath the dunes.MOON
Like Earth, the ruins of humanity's former glory can be found scattered across the familiar lunar surface. Recent exploration attempts have been repulsed, reporting increased enemy activity, and even strange tectonic phenomenon. The City has since classified the Moon as a "Forbidden Zone," open only to our most brave and experienced Guardians.VENUS
Venus was once the site of great discovery – a paradise. Now, it is a monument to all that we have lost. The old stories say we built an academy dedicated to learning and research on the shore of a wondrous sea, and that the waters themselves boiled and rose up to shatter the coast, washing away all that we had built.ENEMIES
CABAL
Few Guardians have faced Cabal and lived to tell the tale. They are a professional military operation. On every front we have found them on the march, they have already dug in and ringed their installations with razor wire. Now, it seems they've turned their eyes towards us.FALLEN
Fallen are hardy creatures who can survive in a wide range of environments without heavy armor or complex modifications to their physiology. They travel light, hit hard, and are gone before you know it. Fallen may look like mere scavengers, but on closer inspection you will see hints of a splendid, sophisticated past, and the proud markings of their ancestral "Houses."HIVE
Hive manipulate the physical world in ways that we can only begin to imagine. The Hive have carved a kingdom deep into the lifeless core of the Moon, and it is there they remain, silent and buried among many dark and terrible secrets, a reminder of the tremendous power that brought forth the Collapse.VEX
Scattered reports indicate that the Vex appear to be mass-produced machine units, constructed of an unknown metal alloy resembling hammered brass. All attempts to communicate with them have failed. They are hostile. They are unrelenting. They are deadly.Videos

The biggest let down for me so far is that you cannot simply team with people you run into in the world. I thought that's how MMOs are supposed to work! The fact that you have to team with someone on your friend's list is a pain in the neck. I work all week and I do not have time for organizing teams, clans, etc, and I just want to do things on the fly, like I can do with countless other games in co-op modes (such as GoW). I really hope they fix that issue.
The PvP is pretty fun so far, but I have only played maybe 10 games of it. There could be more maps, and nothing beats close range shotgun to the face. Although I am low level now (around 11 or 12) and I see many people with 20-24 and they seem to take me out in 2 seconds with a ranged weapon. That's okay, if you're a hunter and you have gunslinger, you pretty much have 3 one-shot kills no matter who you are facing!
Another issue for me is the low sensitivity. This has always been an issue with Halo. I always maximize the sensitivity, and it's still too darn slow! I guess I am used to PC FPSs, and I sometimes use the Xim Edge or CronusMax on my consoles, so that I can use the mouse/keyboard combo. I have not tried that yet with Destiny, but it will probably be like Halo...too slow.
The story is pretty cool so far, but it seems like it will be short. I have read that Activision/Bungie expect this game to last 10 years, so they better have a lot of things in mind. The level cap of 20 is kinda funny since I saw people 2 days after release have it, but I suspect they will raise it with expansions.
I really hope that the game is not all hype. I have already been extremely disappointed with other new releases like NHL 15 (I refuse to buy it at the current price point because EA did not include so many features), but I hope that Destiny will not make me regret paying for it with the new price tag. I still have some hope because the game had a ridiculous development budget. I work in software, so I guess I expected more.
I will gladly update my review in the future. For now, I just hope to get on-the-fly party/fireteam teaming when I'm out in the open. I don't like solo missions sometimes because I feel my Hunter is a bit gimpy, even if I am 2-3 levels above the level of the mission.
Part of me also wishes there was more ammo in single player mode. I understand limited ammo in multiplayer, and yes, I know that enemies drop ammo, but I remember playing my first fireteam/strike mission on Earth where I would EASILY run out of ammo while trying to take out the boss. My team had to keep killing the boring side mobs to get more ammo, that we would then just to dump into that giant machine spider thingy.
I almost gave this game 2 stars, but I decided on a 3rd because I think you can still have fun at low levels in multiplayer, and you can always level up in multiplayer to make it a little easier in single player missions. Also, the game looks amazing on next-gen consoles. Anyway, I hope to generate some discussion about this game. Does anyone agree/disagree with my pros/cons?
-----------------------------------------
Update: 10/8/14
I am level 19 now (slowly making my way through the story and doing some more multiplayer) and I am still disappointed in this game. The missions are so repetitive, and it's easy to run out of ammo on these missions. The Vex don't drop nearly enough IMO. I just did a couple missions on Mars. I still really want to like this game more. The story is just blah.
I would really love the ability to team with people on the fly for story missions. Otherwise, you can do some leveling from patrol missions. There is a new multiplayer mode after the latest update, but I can't tell the difference between it and regular Control.
Update: 7/20/15
I am changing my review to 5 stars because even though Bungie does things to tick me off, the game is very addictive. They are going to nerf the gally and some other weapons, but they will find a way to make you continue playing this game
This game is all about end-game content, so you will keep redoing raids and such. Just find a nice group and you will have more fun than just lone-wolfing by trying to get teams on destinylfg.
I think the most frustrating part of this game which will turn many people off is that acquiring better weapons and equipment is done randomly and has nothing to do with player performance. You could have the most points, kills, assists, and have 0 deaths in a multiplayer match and at the end get 0 items for your efforts while someone else who had 4 kills and 16 deaths gets 2 rare items. Similarly in the Strike missions you could have 140 kills and finish of the last boss and still get 0 items at the end. Hopefully this is something Bungie takes a look at and decides to fix eventually but i wouldn't hold my breathe because it seems they did this intentionally.
I agree with most people that the biggest fault this game has is there is a very loose and confusing story and lack of explanation of anything other than how to move and shoot a gun. After beating the game, i am not sure i know much more of what the story is actually about other than what i knew from the trailers and intro video to the game. There also is very little to no explanation or tutorials of how any of the mechanics of game work or what half of the things mean. If you haven't played an MMORPG before you will be very confused and overwhelmed and will probably finish the entire story without realizing how half the mechanics of the game work. Even after playing 2 different MMORPG's i found myself confused and clueless about numerous things causing me to google it or browse the Destiny forums for more information because it was not explained anywhere in the game.
While this game feels very bare bones on release, i believe it was done intentionally because Bungie plans to release a lot of additional content in stages, true to MMORPG fashion. Bungie seems to be playing the card where they will feed players just enough content in each updated and expansion to keep players addicted without releasing too much at once. I think this may have backfired a little because I, like many players, think they should have and defintiely could have given players more content and a better story on release than they did.
For you Halo fans, this is very much Halo implemented as an MMORPG. Everything from the weapons to enemies and the strategies to kill certain enemies are very obviously taken from Halo and teeters on the edge copyright infringement. Some of the stuff is downright laughable how obviously it was copied from Halo. All that being said i think this game is still fun to play with friends and leaves room for a lot of expandability. But it will get boring quick if Bungie doesn't release additional content soon. This game deserves 3.5 stars in my mind because i enjoy the idea of combining the MMORPG and FPS genre to something i can play on a console without paying a monthly subscription, but i am also disappointed in the lack of a coherent story and available content upon launch.

BUT at the end of the day, it's fun and I keep coming back to play it so that's good.
These problems have unfortunately brought down what could have been an otherwise amazing game, people feel the game is 'incomplete' or 'gutted' due to the lack of content and story, they are right. Here's hoping Bungie speeds up their '10 year plan' and release enough content and fixes to make this game to what it is meant to be.
