I'd agree with this. The combat carries the entire thing and that feels like it has been pulled straight out of Halo.Not Lord Atkin said:I don't understand destiny. I know I should technically hate it with all the screaming flaws in design and gameplay but holy shit, it's just so much fun. It's one of those game in which the combat system carries the entire thing. It just feels so satisfying to shoot at stuff that it somehow makes up for the fact that shooting stuff is all you ever do (unless you're stuck in one of those ridiculously long loading screens).
I am sure a lot of people that haven't played Halo probably wonder why a generic looking sci-fi shooter has such a following but that combat system is the reason why. I haven't played a console FPS that feels as satisfying.
My feelings towards Destiny is that I'd have rather they just made another Halo. Obviously a different story/universe but made a proper single player campaign (that could have co-op like the Halo games) and of course the obligatory PVP side.
So meh compared to what?
In my case "meh" compared to Halo and "meh" compared to Diablo 3/WoW.
But still I can turn on my PS4 and enjoy myself blasting away for the sake of it. It's just that I keep saying "I wish they had...." or "if only they had...".
