What IS Destiny?
I've been going through the forums and noticing that a few people cannot truly define what genre Destiny falls under. I have seen some call it a normal FPS while others call it a type of MMO. Some will label it as a Sandbox game and others think it is a game of it's own.
I believe in the latter. I think Destiny is a game in it's own category. After all it is in fact an FPS, however it will have open-world environments with dozens of players being match-made simultaneously. This coupled with the fact that Destiny can throw anything at you (though some of it is timed/scripted) I would have to agree that Destiny is a game of a single genre.
What do you think? Is Destiny a traditional FPS game? Is it an MMO. Or is it something unique?

It's a game that pulls from different genres to create an experience enjoyable by a large variety of players.

It is in the same genre as borderlands, a FPS with RPG elements to it. It certainly isnt a MMO just due to the scale and the inability for a console to handle hundreds of players on screen at once. It is going to be a great game no matter what genre label the community wants to put on it however.
