If you're unfamiliar with the upcoming
video game called Destiny, it's a very big deal. The game has been
purported to be one of the most expensive to produce video games in
history, and there has been endless hype surrounding the
science-fiction first-person shooter open-world massive-multiplayer
online role playing game (got all that?) I own a PS4, and was lucky
enough to be given a code (thanks Chang!) to join in the beta testing
process that is going on right now. The game is due for release in
early September, and Bungie is testing the game to see how it handles
lots of players at once. Unlike the alpha test that was done a while
ago, the beta is in a much more polished state and what I'm seeing is
probably very close to what the finished product is going to be. If
you've read some of my other articles before, you'll know that I'm
not a big fan of MMORPG's in general, but there are some reasons that
I think Destiny might actually work for MMORPG enthusiasts and for
people like me, too. This week, I'll be sharing my impressions of
what I think works well in Destiny, in addition to a few criticisms.
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
