Before I start, I must make it clear that the following is my opinion. The opinion of an 18 year old game development student from Australia whose been playing games since he was 4. A person whose favourite game franchise of all time is Halo, and someone who can not stand racing and sports games. Everyone is free to have their own opinion on Destiny. My opinion is my own and I simply wish to share it with you fine folk. The Story: From the opening cut scene I actually felt the need to explore Destiny's world, to uncover the lore and story surrounding the world in which I was thrust in to. Its genuinly interesting trying to fiugre out whats going on, such as what the traveller is and why its on Earth, who the Fallen are and where they came from and what the darkness is. I wouldn't say its on par with Halo, but this is still early on. I'll need some additional data before I can actually say whether the story is on par with some of the greats. Overall, the story is worth my time. Its something that will keep me playing from beginning to end and thats a key factor of any game with a campaign. The Combat: Love it. Seriously, the combat reminds me of Halo with a little more power behind each shot. Mowing down waves of enemies is enjoyable and the different types of these hostiles keep the game interesting. The enemy AI seems to be quite intelligent, activly avoiding my grenades and flanking me whenever possible. Some enemies with snipers will hang back and supress me whilst the melee hostiles will flank and come up behind me. Its nice fighting an enemy that isn't as dumb as a bag of rocks. The number of weapons/weapon styles also helps keep combat interesting, giving players 3 weapons to have on them at any time. A primary weapon, a special weapon and a heavy weapon. For me, this was a Scout Rifle (primary weapon thats essentially a DMR) , Fusion Rifle (A charged 3 round energy burst rifle with incredible damage, but close range) and a machine gun (Basicaly an LMG/Support weapon with high ammunication capacity). One final thing that contributes to the combat in this game are the boss battles. So far I've gone up against an incredibly powerful Fallen Tank, and a floating ball of pure death. Both of which took quite some time to take down, even with 3 squadmates. Overall I find Destiny's combat to be solid and enjoyable. Its not a breakthrough in game design, but its definitly well done. The Music: As with all Bungie games, the music in Destiny is amazing. Kicking in at the perfect times to give you the correct feeling for the situation, whether it be epic music for combat or serene music for cut scenes and the hub world. Can't say much about this really. Music is superb, no question about that. Overall?: I feel that Destiny is a great new IP for Bungie and a solid game franchise. I feel that it will be rather successful and more then likely lead to two sequels which I will be happy to buy. Definitly a game worth buying in my honest opinion. I will say this though, many people overhyped this game as some epic new IP to change all games out there. This is not the case. Destiny is a great game, no doubt in my mind, but if you're expecting something thats revolutionary then you may be disappointed. Well, except for the dance button. The dance button is revolutionary and all games should have one. Anyways, hope you enjoyed the read. I know I didnt include anything about the graphic quality of the game, but It will probably be different depending on the platform you play on, so its not worth me saying. Im also not putting a number on the game, because numbered reviews are absolutely stupid ( 7/10 and whatnot ) But yeah, definitly a game worth checking out. By the way, if you have any questions about Destiny, feel free to ask me. I've maxed out my Titan class and Im working on a Warlock and Hunter class now.

Completed all the beta content with my Titan class already. Took about 4 hours because I couldn't stop playing. Peter D makes an awesome companion for my armoured senpai (My guy has anime style hair) and I've taken to calling him Dinklebot. Dinklebot notices senpai, and senpai notices Dinklebot. Seriously though, Destiny has been amazing fun thus far, and I can not wait for full release. Im going to go play through the Destiny beta on a Warlock and Hunter class now. Peace out~

Why is why?

Well this is a surprise. I remember half of these people when they first joined :3 I feel so old now ;_; Anyway, congrats to you all. I wish you well in your staffing positions <3

Not really surprised tbh xD I've known Aza since like...the mudkip days. He's been the bestest friend to me ever since :3 Still though ,congrats Aza. *brohugs* Serve the people proudly

D: But this can't happen! It simply can not happen... Without Director first giving an awkward speech to all of us >: ) Otherwise it totally doesn't count :3 But in all serious congratulations Director, my hairless, well toned friend. Hope you enjoy your banishment to the fluffy world of Legendaries, where food and drink are free, and the puppies run wild.

I......he...... Excuse me while I go roll on the ground laughing for a few...months.. XD Seriously though, Aza said he was the king and people would recognise this eventually...and well....here ya go xD

Tell you what... Journey is easily one of my favourite games in existence. While the epic "Journey" is only short, it's easily one of the more emotional games that I've had the pleasure to play. In case you are wondering what the hell "Journey" is, read the below Journey is the latest game by Thatgamecompany, creators of "Flower", another brilliantly designed game. In Journey, you take on the role of some sort of stick creature in a robe, whose only goal is to traverse a vast landscape of sand and snow in order to reach a distant mountain, bathed in a mysterious light. Along the way you are able to uncover hints at what may have happened to your race, who have all but disappeared, leaving only their magnificent technology and mysterious "magic carpets" behind. And if you play online, you have the chance to meet some unknown stranger to tag along with you, only being able to communicate with a simple unique noise that only you can make....creating one of the best multiplayer experiences I've ever had. The soundtrack, composed by Austin Wintory, is simply beautiful as it plays in the background and was well worth the $5 or $10 I paid for it on Itunes. It easily rivals the music of some other big games out there...including Halo...which is even hard for me to type If you havent had the chance to play this amazing game...do it...now :3 If you have, care to comment on your experience?

Congrats Red It's good that I can come back to see an old friend climbing the ladder of Internetalogical (Its a word!) success I know you will do your job to the best of your ability and I look forward to many future conversations with you

I believe I originally started when the first Spyro released...I knew I was in love with gaming from then on. I bought the original Xbox and the first game I played on that was Halo...coincidence? I think not :3 Since then I have gamed pretty much every day i was physically able to and if I was to guess how many games I have played to completion...it would be well over a thousand, if not more. Gaming has served as a gate to me meeting some of my best friends...so its more then just a pass time for me

Very nice little bro better then me by far xD

Where do i come in ?

love you too bro <3
