I Played 45 Minutes Of Destiny, And It Was Kind Of Boring

The point is that you can play solo and there is actually a story to complete. I guess that you are talking strictly single player, but you are still not require to participate in the multiplayer aspect of the game.

So you are a whiner?

Watched all the available footage, came away unimpressed. Visuals are crisp and detailed, but not alot of frantic action going on, and the powers look over hyped. Waiting to here about the multiplayer though. I'm not gonna pre-order this for the One until there is more info. So far, hype diminishing...

Actually what makes me laugh is Bungie, who is known for making it's mark in the industry by creating the ultimate Sci-Fi shooter known to all as HALO, is now given the chance to break away from the franchise and assume a new identity with a new I.P. and what are they doing?

There making another sci-fi shooter..LOL....Seriously?, is that the only genre they know?, or is that all they think will sell?.....Why not try an open world RPG, or Platformer, or even a new Xtreme sport title?, Something, any other genre thats not overly saturated like the FPS market.

I'm not surprised, it does look boring.

From the footage shown so far I'd agree, what they've shown does look boring

Sorry but anything written by Kotaku, I just throw down the shitter where it belongs.

Oh NO ! Its A PUBLIC EVENT !

What a bunch of nerds.... :p

Halo was a shitty FPS that only became popular due to it being pretty much the only available FPS on the XBOX at the time; the maps were repetitive as **** in single and multiplayer and the gun mechanics were some of the stupidest shit I've ever seen in my life (my rifle can't zoom in--no it's gotta have a big display telling me my ammo!--but this pistol here can snipe from a mile away! Fucking stupid).

Destiny is built as an open world FPS/RPG/MMO. Except Bungie isn't calling Destiny open world, or an MMO based on the connotations that those labels bring.

Bungie knows who they are and what they're good at and that is the sci-fi FPS. From Pathways Into Darkness to Marathon to Halo to Destiny, Bungie makes groundbreaking sci-fi FPS series.

Thats disappointing.. Destiny was the only reason why i bought the PS4.

No. I mean FPS in general. It's a boring genre with very few exceptions.

Core mechanics, you mean that thing Destiny is copying? Yeah I don't think it is very unique either. That is why I said Destiny is copy and pasting everything but that which made Borderlands 2 unique.Did you seriously think I was saying Destiny was ripping off everything about Borderlands 2 except the core game mechanics, or did you just jump on a chance to swear on the internet like a boss?

I am sorry. Honestly, so many people are saying that it is ripoff off or boderlands to the point where It has gotten annoying, even so, I would not call it copying and pasting. Why do you see it as copying and pasting?

I'm sorry, but it's really really boring.

PC damage control thread. U mad.

Not for PC.

Actually it is not . It may be boring for those who love on rail shooters , and are not into thinking and planning tactics but that doesn't mean it is boring for all of us . For fans of non linear games , other shooters are way more boring and Semi open world games like Crysis and STALKER are quite enjoyable .

I'm not a fan of first person rail shooters either. FPS in general is like the most boring genre.

What does it matter? I haven't played many JRPGs but I know I don't like them.

Some people don't like certain genres.

Too many to list.

sounds like a typical console game to me; big-dollar presentation combined with a dead-simple, uninspiring gameplay. just another CoD. endless barrage of scripted events where you just point and shoot at the baddies.

we have regressed back to these days:

mmmm... peasants be loving <3

What do the metro games have besides the atmosphere and the unique mechanics of actually being able to time your air?

The right comparison would be halo. Please tell me what you know about the game besides what you saw in the video.

As I said , it is the matter of preference . Doesn't mean it is boring for everyone . I for one have no problem playing the game from any genre (except QTE fest games) as long as the game itself is fun and challenging , so I'm glad that I don't miss out on anything .

Half-Life 2, FEAR, Bioshock 1, 2, 3, Far Cry 3, some Call of Duty shit I can't remember, Unreal Tournament something or other, Quake 2 and 3, Serious Sam, Halo 3 and 4. Plenty more that I can't remember because the genre is so amazingly bland.

ok well what genre would you say is constantly evolving and keeps on giving?

Always looked uninteresting to me from the getgo.

please tell me what anyone knows about this game besides what they have seen on videos? i haven't seen anything that would get me excited, so i don't know what other people have seen...

I tried Human Revolution and didn't enjoy it at all, the older ones look too ugly to really get into.

Lol, Halo series and Far Cry 3 are bland but Fear isn't?

How are CoD 1 and UO better than the later CoD's?

Borderlands w/ halo paintjob, yeah....console crap.

I don't understand how that's a bad thing.

Because Borderlands is incredibly boring and barely has any gameplay.

Character action games. I'm not sure how that's relevant though.

"barely has any gameplay"? What would you quantify as "barely has any gameplay"?

Of course, you have no appreciation for the FPS genre...so I take anything you have to say on the subject with a grain of salt.

Borderlands. Floaty, weak feeling shooting for hours on end against the same boring enemies with numbers flying up while picking up a steady stream of increasingly more meaningless loot. There is nothing engaging about it at all.

No you're not. You are a glorified hater who loathes any title that isn't or didn't begin its life as a PC exclusive.

So when you said "barely has any gameplay" you meant what exactly?

The thing about a random loot generator is that it is random. You could find a legendary, you could find a generic base model, you could find something in-between it is all completely random (well not completely as some enemies have a higher chance of dropping a legendary weapons than others -- Madame Von Bartlesby has the highest drop rate for the Baby Maker, for instance)

I mean what I just said. Shallow, mindless, repetitive, tedious "gameplay" that does nothing to engage me or make me care.

"The thing about a random loot generator is that it is random. You could find a legendary, you could find a generic base model"
The thing about it is that most of what I'm picking up is meaningless garbage and on the off chance I do get something "good" I won't care because the game has bored the shit out of me.

This bugs me:

"I played 45 minutes of small slice a complex online FPS RPG with many different facets to it that I didn't even get to touch upon - it's boring"
"I played 10 minutes of Titanfall and I've basically already seen all there is to the game: it's fantastic"

I also hate it when people complain about "slow paced combat". Does ever damn shooter nowadays have to feel like COD?

Well first off, like many others, I know that the video is only 7 minutes long and shows a strike mission. Strike missions are incredibly small parts when compared to all other content in the game. I know that there will be a single player campaign, side quests, , customize gear, weapons that can be upgraded, vehicles, end game raids, public areas and events, shops, other planets that you can explore, and many other things that I have forgotten and things that bungie has not even talked about. I understand that you have not seen anything that interests, but it was only 7 minutes of gameplay. 7 MINUTES!!!

Not that CoD was also a big success on the PC... or that Destiny is console exclusive right now.
Besides flaming a lot, you're not making much of a point other than "console gamers are idiots and I play consoles, too".
