I'll just go ahead and copy/paste my response to the review: Never watched one of his reviews before. Probably never will again. I'm quite tired of trying to counter every point for people so i'll just comment on a few. I agree that the PvP and gameplay is spot on. I agree that the story lacks a little (though not as much as he feels.) Halo 1 didn't answer much either or come with much. So if destiny is heading that same route i think all will be fine. I agree about the lore outside of the game. What's on the cards should be in the game. I Disagree on his view of the story. Perhaps the reason we don't get much to our character (lore wise) is because we are not an important piece in the over all story. Merely we spectate the universe in motion through a guardian. the soul series is like this. (not saying we shouldn't have more custom options just speaking from a lore perspective.) I disagree on the amature level design. Yes most missions are defense. But We can break down any game to that level. Halo, for instance, is mainly switch simulator. What really matters is the feel you get from it all. To me it didn't feel boring or repetitive. To him it did. it's a thing of perspective and should stop there. I also disagree on his grind complaints. Judging from this kind of way he talks he's not a fan of normal loot systems. He doesn't enjoy random. Which is fine it's not for everyone. But i don't think they did loot wrong in this game. In fact most RPG like games i've played that include a loot system make it heavily random based. It's common to get things not for your person. Destiny is repetitive. But I expected this when i heard it was going to borrow MMO elements. Nobody likes being shafted after some hard work. But i'd also not want things straight up handed to me just because i did X activity. Knowing that i can get something rare from doing those tough things is enough for me. This game doesn't feel repetitive to me. It's frustrating at times. But i love it overall. If i had to give it a review it would be a solid 8/10. If the expansions build on the entire game I will be even happier. I seriously hope they actually expand on every element like they stated. (meaning more strikes, raids, MP maps and loot etc.) Though The biggest ones for me will be strikes and raids. We don't get more of those i will actually be disappointed. As long as the remaining games build off of this they will become better and much more people will be pleased.
