It has had unbelievable potential for a long time.

NOW, they need to acknowledge that it's a damn MMO, bring in the right ppl, and go all out...Meaning...

TI'm to focus on social aspects. Guilds, factions w/ backstories, speeder races, bases, do SOMETHING with the loading screen ships, even of its just changing how they look.

I'm telling ya, NOTHING is more important in a game that plans to go 10 yrs than all the social aspects that keep ppl logging on everyday even when the content is done. And customization is KING. Allow ppl to be different and special.

This game b/c of its unparalleled fps combat, has the potential to rule them all, if they just admit it's an mmo, and give us all the stuff we love about mmo's.

Honestly the game is fun as hell, literally all it needs is true open world MMO gameplay. Take out all (or most of) the loading screens, make PvP a gambling/competition thing that even PvEers could take part in. And it would be the most addicting game ever made. The real issue is the zoning theres just way to much of it and players get bored of waiting in a 4 loading screens just to go to the next mission and do that same exact mission for the nine millionth time. Really it all blows down to the fact the game was made for last gen rather than this gen. They even advertized it exactly how i stated but when they announced it on last gen every good idea they had was chopped up into little pieces and spoonfed to us over a year. I still have hope for Destiny 2, but this one is all but dead to me.

Destiny had a good foundation, but greed and slow fixes (quick to patch exploits) hurt this game for me, and a lot of people moving into the Taken King.

At this point Destiny 2 is needed, and it has to be great Day 1.

1. The biggest problem is the lack of content. We've seen Mercury and Saturn already, why can't we go to those planets? If anything we've should have had Mercury - Reef aka asteroid belt (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Tower, Moon, Mars) to explore Day 1 with 10 missions, at least 2 strikes, and 1 raid per enemy type. That would have been 50 mission, 10 strikes, a Patrol per planetoid, and 4 raids (VOG, Crota, Fallen Raid, Cabal Raid).

Day 1 the content would have been there.

Instead we got Earth, Moon, Venus, and Mars. 20 missions, 5 - 6 strikes, a Patrol per planetoid, and 1 raid.

2. The planets should have been open world, not travel in a circle.

3. The Tower should have had more events like Pike battles, Sparrow Races, in-game Guilds / Fireteams, etc...

4. Matchmaking should be on everything making it more social.

5. There should be a larger variety and diversity of weapons. As well as Corrosion (Thorn is basically Borderlands Corrosion) and Light weapons.

6. Had an actual decent story, with memorable characters, and show the different races and factions off better.

And that's all I can think of off the top of my head for now, but there so much stuff Destiny could and should have done Day 1, and it would have easily been GOTY for 2014, but they missed so much opportunity. With all this content you only need bi annual expansion (every 6 months), and they should add more missions, 2 new strikes, and a Raid / POE type event and cost $10 - $15.

By 2016 it would be time for the next huge Expansion or D2 with new regions (Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, Pluto, outer Reef), as well as 3 New classes, new enemies, etc...

So much potential completely wasted. Destiny could have been an amazing revolutionary console MMOFPS, but instead it's an semi-good game with some MMO type feature and a serious lack of content and overpriced DLC.

It's an easy to kick "addiction" , if they still play at this juncture they enjoy it , so it's worth it to them .

It's not as if a lot of the people dropping destiny aren't just swicthing to yearly fps with 30-40 dollars season passes , and thus displaying better judgement

This game isn't even in the same universe as "but raping". Yeah, $60 plus the season pass, and a reasonable amount for an expansion. If you wanna see real rape, check out DCUO, or a myriad of other games that are f2p, or have a sub AND use microtransactions.

Yeah, Destiny is in a spotlight so it stands out against other AAA games. But it's an mmo, and those who play it alot have more than got their money's worth.

Most ppl that take issue w/ it, it's b/c they see the potential and want more. They would even be willing to pay, b/c it's worth the money. Compared to other mmo's the cost is minimal, and compared to other AAA games, there's a ton of content. CoD gets ppl for $100 every year. But ppl play for 1000+ hrs. It's better than many games you play for 20 hrs and never touch again.

From a PR perspective, maybe. Also, a reset on their progression would help. It's gotten a bit convoluted.

That said, it can be fixed in both regards. Next yr, instead of a sequel, they need a relaunch of sorts. Add new classes, flesh out the story, find a clear, progression system that can be the basis of all further updates, and it would be fine.

There's too much good here to just scrap it and move on to a sequel. But they need a team working for the next yr on determing the oath for the next 5 yrs. Relaunch in 2016 for a good price, and it WILL work.

Also, Activision, let Bungie determine and fully realize the game they intended.

Story is the most important to me, and that was one of the worst

That would fall under the "content" part

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

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.
