Destiny is great, but it is missing some tricks

Bungie has done something incredible here and Lazygamer.net truly thinks this will be the defining game of the next few years.

But having said that they still feel the game is missing some things that will truly make it one of the great games of our age. Hopefully Bungie will be taking note of what the community says and that they implment these in the final game.

more loot?? really? ugh, people are just impossible to satisfy.

Razjin4330d ago (Edited 4330d ago )

This just seems like a comparison to different games and the way they do things than the actual game itself.None of the points he made is not even worth mentioning especially since borderlands 2 is worse than the first and call of duty/battlefield are overrated now. Also I wouldn't say it plays like halo but feels like it with the whole sc-fi theme. Overall the game is good and it's the fps to beat for the coming years.

"For example you can get gear if you do good in pvp" - what ? pvp rewards are random, been 1st in 95% of games i played and never recived anything from pvp...

also more loot is needed or better shops, I played beta for almost 20h and I still dont have green auto rifle and im not only one with that problem, all i get is pulse rifles...

alpha shops and loot were much better, i was improving my gear on evry stike i did and here in beta i get same weak items all the time...

The last hit bonus is a bad thing. It promotes kill stealing. And kill stealing is annoying.

Razjin4330d ago

@Grim sorry to hear that but this is an fps mmo so it's expected that some will have better luck than others. I hope you eventual get the gear you want. Even if they increase the loot or make better shops everything is still randomly rolled so you can still be playing for 20h+ and not get that green auto rifle just saying.

iceman064330d ago

@Grim...I think that they are tuning everything as the game gets closer. In the alpha, I had multiple uncommon and rare items of various levels. I had a TON of glimmer. I had only played for about 8 hours or so. That wouldn't scale very well for a game that is meant to last. Now, they have tuned the glimmer down a bit. The weapons, armor, etc. don't seem to fall quite as often. This seems more sustainable in terms of getting you to come back to the grind. It's the dangling carrot of loot. Which, as we know, is pretty much the pillar of an mmo styled game. Plus, there's an element of luck involved.

Of course its missing things.... ITS A BETA!!!!!!!

GrimWykydtron4330d ago (Edited 4330d ago )

@Razjin true enough but alpha din't had that problem so i think bungie need to work on that and also give us way to trade with other players.

GavinMannion4330d ago

Can't agree with that... the strikes are incredible and the public events are addictive as all hell

GrimWykydtron4330d ago (Edited 4330d ago )

strikes incredible ? in beta there is only one and its booooring when u do it few times, same enemies, same spawn locations, same pattern in everything, no challenge at all, where did they take legendary difficulty ? strikes need some modifiers to be incredible as for now its just doing same s... all over again and again...

GavinMannion4330d ago

ah but seriously it is just a beta, it gives you an idea of what strikes will be like...

I'm not into grinding so completing it once is all I want

Utalkin2me4330d ago

What is overrated is your comment, that has no barring on the article at all. If you don't like the game, then don't come and comment on it.

paul-p19884330d ago

Unfortunately I have to agree. I saw the pictures, saw little bits of gameplay clips, and they made me want to play it. One of my mates sent me a spare beta code and I was excited to get it. 15gb and 2 missions later i'm beginning to wonder when the fun will start.

I know it's a beta so it's not a complete product yet, but the game just does not have that hook to make me want more... also, certain parts of it feel way too much like Halo, and I wasn't a fan of that either (silly reason, but I hated the jumping physics in Halo, and they are the same in Destiny...)

HairyKnees4330d ago (Edited 4330d ago )

I wish I could have played this :(

Darranged4330d ago

C'mon, time for us Xbox owners to get a taste of this rad game!

ScottyHoss4330d ago

I gotta agree it isn't fair that Xbox players don't get a beta either, just like battlefield. I wish I could play the Evolve beta but I have a PS4 :/

Nicolee4330d ago

I don't actually like FPS game ( i mostly play RPGs ) but i tried destiny beta and surprisingly it was really fun.

Its neat especially since not everyone might have two friends playing it. Makes it more personal to go at in duos.

Inverno48d ago

It's 2026 and basic match making features in MP games are still being drip fed to an audience that still gets excited over said basic feature being implemented.

Marathon hands-on preview | Notebookcheck

Darryl Linington from Notebookcheck.net writes: "Early hands-on time with Marathon, spanning roughly 10 hours, points to a distinctive extraction shooter with strong shell-based class design, layered faction progression, surreal presentation, and a dense UI that still needs smoothing out."

Almost 16,000 reviews on Steam currently has the game sitting on a very positive 90% Not sure if it has the player numbers but those who are playing seem to be enjoying themselves.

Putte81d ago

And as of now a 5.1 user score on metacritic. Really bad.

LiViNgLeGaCY81d ago

On Steam, you have to have bought the game, in order to play. On metacritic, ANYONE can review it. I'll leave it for you to decide which one matters more.

MrNinosan81d ago

Trolls on Metacritic, must be a new thing or you were born yesterday

The game is really really bad. So generic boring and lifeless. UI is terrible. Bad and slow gameplay. Not sure who gives the go ahead for these games. Insane all that money companies just throw away for no reason. Nobody a asking for these games

LiViNgLeGaCY81d ago

You haven't played it. That much is apparent from your comment. Gameplay is FAR from slow and boring. I do agree the UI definitely needs to be re-worked. But then again, you're just repeating a complaint you're reading about, not actually experiencing.

MrNinosan81d ago

Can you show any proof you've actually played it, by sharing your PSN ID or Steam profile? Nah, guessed as much.

Outside_ofthe_Box81d ago

Gunplay is the best thing about the game. To call it bad is wrong. Just because it isn't a twitch shooter doesn't mean it's slow, not everything has to play the same. Everything else is generic I agree.

Flenter81d ago

Yes I am. But tell me ,with goty games do you play? Have you even played Marathon? If not ...S T F U!!
So sick and tired of the hate BS 🤮🤮
