This is the most accurate review of Destiny yet

This is pretty much everything that people has been saying since the game released (hell, the beta even). The reviewer even spent about 40 hours playing the game, so there's no excuse you can bring up of him "rushing through" it. It is the very personification (er-gameification) of "Jack of all trades, master of none." Destiny pulls from so many different things without understanding what makes them good, or really [i]doing[/i] anything with them. A shame, really.

  • Has someone who just hit the power button on my PS4 because I got zerg-rushed in a corner by freshly spawned Hive Knights while fighting Phogoth in "Summoning Pits," I can say the assessment is bullshit. It's anything but objective. The guy's writing prose, and it's full of--not crticism--but disdain. He can play 400 hours for all I care, it doesn't mean he's capable of delivering a solid review. He criticizes Destiny for being a one-trick pony, with the critical one-trick trope that continues to plague games criticism: "Killing things is repetitive, and X-Company didn't reinvent games as I know it, so they suck!" Gimme a break. SHooting shit is fun. It always has and always will be. When you break it down, it hasn't really changed from arcade days of old, and that's great. There's a reason we do anything over and over again: It's fun. If you're bored with it, move on and accept that that might just be subjective, and stop being a dick about it.
