One of the writers from IM PLAYIN talks about some of his slight concerns over Destiny, before playing the Beta on the Xbox One
"My biggest worry about this game is whether it’s just going to be a Halo clone. I wouldn’t say ‘Halo ripoff’, just because Bungie are making it and they are Halo all over. I’m probably one of the few Xbox 360 and One owners that isn’t overly fussed by the Halo series. I played Halo 3 and thought it was alright… ODST wasn’t too bad, I guess. But I just never really got into it. It’s probably because I’m a history geek, so I like my action FPS games to be historically accurate (ish), well, at least historically based. The look of the game is very ‘Halo’, even the front cover looks like it’s featuring a cloaked Master Chief from the Halo 5 teaser video. To me, Destiny looks like the lovechild of Halo and Mass Effect, with a bit of Borderlands thrown in there for good measure. In theory, that should be one hell of a game. I just worry that we might have see...
The Marathon Duo queue test ends as Bungie confirms its return in Season 2, with new experimental playlists already on the way.

Its neat especially since not everyone might have two friends playing it. Makes it more personal to go at in duos.
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.
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.
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.
Replies(1)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
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.
Can you show any proof you've actually played it, by sharing your PSN ID or Steam profile? Nah, guessed as much.
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.
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 🤮🤮
Bungie has fully settled the Destiny 2 Red War copyright lawsuit with writer Matthew Martineau, ending a year-long legal fight.
Lawd have mercy! If you haven't even played it yet...PLAY IT!
Never got much into Halo, but I see similarities, and people on N4G with lots of Halo experience say the similarities are positive. The Borderlands comparison I agree with, but again in a positive way, and only in the fact that I'm playing cooperatively with friends and drooling over new loot..again a positive.
My biggest concern is Bungies double-speak about whether this game is coming to PC or not.

If its not coming to PC, thats fine, but it seems like a constant tease. I would rather Bungie say its not worth it for PC and move on rather than the back and forth.
Every game that comes out theres always some entitled dbag who's gonna have a problem with it.
Next....
My only issue so far is all the stuff I'm getting that I have no idea what to do with.. Oh wait, that's a good thing. Can't wait for the full release so I can see what some of these materials are for.
