Destiny a looter game?
How is destiny a looter game? A lot of people are upset about the soft sunsetting and the reply is always something about "you don't want loot in a looter game?". I might just be spoiled, but destiny isn't a looter in my opinion. Borderlands is a looter, diablo, world of warcraft, and many other games. What do they have in common? Every group I engage drops 3-5 pieces of loot. Destiny does not drop that much loot ever. Destiny is more like a space magic game that has some loot. Not a looter.

Edited by ben: 6/26/2025 8:32:00 AMLooter games are generally any game that involves chasing loot and using it to improve your gameplay. Is that not destiny? Moving the goal posts to say "looters are games that involve chasing loot AND they have to drop A LOT of loot" doesn't change that destiny is ultimately a game where you get loot with increasing rarity from increasingly difficult activities to improve your gameplay. Destiny is a pretty lite looter shooter compared to games like borderlands and the division because I believe it is made for a much more casual audience. There is significantly less RNG and grinding in destiny and the loot is LESS of a driving force behind the game, those games feel like "loot for the sake of loot" to me which is why I dont really play them and I feel like why destiny has such a niche. Destiny is a lot more RPG and gameplay driven. But even though destiny isnt as much of a loot game it is still at the core of its identity.
