I think this review epitomises why Destiny gets so much shit thrown at it, often unfairly.
For some, it's a love. Fine, absolutely fair enough. But for many it's not. That's also fine. However, because the game demands time investment, it hangs around in the zeitgeist for ages, and is thus picked over again and again. But there isn't a vast amount of stuff there, and this is where the endless 'Is it an MMO' conversations start from. So those who don't like it just don't get HOW someone can be so invested in something that to them, was finished 3 months ago. To them, levelling alts doesn't mean anything, because it's the exact same shit in the exact same way, but to the invested, it means a helluva lot, because the nuances of the game appeal so much, as does the community feel. Furthermore, there are loads of other games that do things better than Destiny, in some way, and to the uninvested, it's like 'hey, pay fucking attention, journos', but to the invested it's 'nobody does it quite like this'. Whilst I lean to the former, I think that's accurate for the latter. For me, this level of devotion is incomprehensible when MMOs do so much of the progression/community side way better, and I prefer other shooters. But that's me. Someone will correct me.
There's no real right or wrong, but I gotta say I bounced off this article with the feeling that 'I do not recognise your world, and that's OK. That said, really?!'.
