What about the gameplay itself? I can
easily draw comparisons to other games, such as Borderlands, where
you are always looking for a better gun and equipment. There are
always lots of Fallen and drones to shoot at, so if you enjoy FPS's
even a little, there is plenty to do in Destiny. Fallen respawn in
areas that have been cleared, so it appears that it is possible to
just camp out and “farm,” slowly raising your experience points
to level up. But honestly, I was much more interested in exploring
that incredibly detailed and realistic world. It's beautiful, and so
far, I haven't noticed any recycled areas. Everything looks like it
was designed individually rather than cut and pasted, and exploring
can be its own reward for a while. One nice feature early in the game
is, after you complete one of the first few tasks, you can summon a
hover-bike speeder and zip around the area more quickly. It is vast,
and I like that, unlike other MMORPG's, you're given a means of fast
overland travel really early in the game. The combat is very fluid,
and the AI of the Fallen is decent—they take cover if you are
aiming, they try to flank you (sometimes), and they react to your
positioning well (if you're camped out in an area they can't get to
without taking weapon fire, they'll toss a grenade over to you.)
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.
