Re: Destiny

Honestly everything about this game strikes me as a less fun version of something that already existed in Borderlands

Re: Destiny

that's practically what it is but somehow they were able to dumb it down even further

reasons to play destiny: you can play with more than 4 people at once
reasons to play borderlands: literally everything else

Re: Destiny

so basically it's a leveling simulator with no depth to it.. ok

They tried so hard with the story they forgot to explain what was actually going on before they bombarded with you statements like "Why are the Vex here? If the Fallen are already holding off the Vex, they'll be ready for us?".

Destiny has a more balanced environment with a far better PvP system than Borderlands. Not everything is better.

Re: Destiny

balanced enviroment is subjective

pvp sucks

Re: Destiny

you're right that not everything is better but borderlands is a far better game and not a waste of money

For the sake of a clean argument, what is it that Borderlands does so much better? Please be specific. In my opinion, I love the dialogue in Borderlands which is the only huge downfall in Destiny.

Re: Destiny

Borderlands has MUCH better writing. Story, character, dialogue, even setting (which was supposed to be one of Destiny's selling points)
Everything I've seen in Destiny (and I've watched my friend do over a dozen hours of gameplay at this point) involves you escorting your floating robot football to scan a computer. No immersion, no dialogue, zero development.
Clear win for Borderlands.

Borderlands and Destiny both do okay on the weapons with interesting effects department, but the acquisition of those weapons is incredibly stupid in Destiny. I've gotten angry by proxy just watching my buddy try to earn loot in that game, the Engram system can go fuck itself with a rake. Legendary engram? lol lets just decode this into a crafting material you already have 4000 of haha real fucking funny Bungie

I'll give points to Destiny for the PvP, which does feel rather nice.
Borderlands PvP was a hilarious and messy affair, fun for a while but then kinda ran out of steam, whereas Destiny's seems more integrated and polished. "Balanced" or "skilled" aren't the right words, but I'd say that it is slower and more deliberate in a good way; it's got a lot more room for finesse and I like that feel a lot.


Largely for me it comes down to the atmosphere of the game. Destiny has no more depth than an arcade game, you do the same mission over and over then at the end you earn bigger numbers.
There's no development of your character, no immersion, and the story is incredibly weak. And these are all things that I really enjoyed in Borderlands that in turn make everything else more enjoyable- missions, grinding, loot, raids and everything else is so much better when in the context of good writing.

Re: Destiny

My brother went to Boston for college to play hockey. Tonight is his 21st birthday & NHL16 came out too. Joy! He walks into Gamestop, grabs NHL & the guy at the counter goes "alright so that's NHL and here is your copy of The Taken King". My bro just called me freaking out and is like "...did this dude just give us a free game?"

Yes. Yes he did. Apparently I (Russell) had a copy reserved & paid for. The guy searched for last name after asking for a gamestop card. My brother doesn't have one but I do. Not like "Oh I totally forgot I ordered this!"...I download all my games & haven't played Destiny since literally last Halloween. Not only was it The Taken King but it was the legendary edition so base game, House of Wolves and Dark Below.

Happy birthday & good luck guardians.
