Innovative =/= good. The virtual boy was extremely innovative. It's also a laughingstock of the gaming world. Destiny has taken aspects from several different genres and combined them into a game that works very well. While those bits are nothing new, the way they're put together is a unique concept. I have never seen or played a game like Destiny. The mechanics work flawlessly. The story is there, despite what some people say. It will continue to grow and expand and morph into something far greater than we can see now.
