We will be a Guardian, with the sole mission of protecting the last bastion of humanity that remains standing in the world. Before us, a ruthless and brutal enemy that we deal with a huge arsenal of weapons, armor and abilities. The Vanguard Edition, will provide access from the first day to a whole new arsenal of weapons and armors, decorated with the color scheme of the Vanguards, technologically advanced.
A new fast-paced action and adventure game that will mark a revolution in the action genre and intended for the next generation consoles. It is certainly one of the most anticipated releases of 2014 for lovers of multiplayer shooters, with competitive and cooperative multiplayer mode in a persistent and evolving world. Behind him all the experience gained in the Halo series, which it will promises a unique gameplay experience.
Destiny Vanguard Edition is also available on XBox One.
Videogame worlds are rarely this rich and addictive. No matter your pleasure - story-based campaigning, co-op comradeship, or adversarial annihilation - Destiny delivers on all fronts. Frighteningly, this really does have the framework of a 10 year obsession. [Nov 2014, p.68]
Even with its stumbles, the initial release of Destiny is a colossal achievement in interactive design, integrating a number of differing genre elements into a smart and unified whole. Bungie’s latest futuristic opus is one of the first true event games of this new generation, and while it still has room to grow, it’s worth your attention right out of the gate.
Destiny suffers from a serious case of rough edges. A number of elements, from the repetitive mission design to a weak early game, are a lot rougher than expected from an otherwise polished game. There isn't one glaring problem that detracts from the experience, but a number of minor issues hurt the game. Beneath those flaws lies an extremely enjoyable MMO-styled shooter that plays excellently, looks great, is extremely addictive, and has a strong and varied endgame.
Destiny, isn’t just set in space, it an allegory of space. It is beautiful and fascinating, but oh so cold and immense, and the past engulfs everything.
If you just accept that it was always going to be about multiplayer shooting, and the rest might be underdeveloped gravy; you’ll probably have tons of fun. And if you look to the future and see what Bungie has created – a very solid foundation – you should be excited by what the team will deliver in the coming months and years.
You won't find better gunplay and online features out there, but at the same time you wont find much to do in this huge project that seems to need tons of new and better content, improved writing and some of the "magic" Bungie failed to include in the initial package.
In its current state, Destiny feels unfinished and unfocused, but I imagine that things will be looking quite different in a year's time.
