In other words - Destiny = Planetside? All right then. Pass.
I haven't played either, but from what I can tell, Planetside is much better. It's free, it actually has an open world (in one of Bungie's videos, the guy looks over this giant vista and says it's all playable area -nope! Invisible walls galore), and you can play with way more people at a time.
OT: Destiny was marketed on lies. Sure, the actual gameplay is apparently solid, but the incredibly shitty business practice behind it is borderline sickening. I don't normally care if people play games I don't like (kind of a dumb thing to care about), but with Destiny's case, I make an exception. They sold a ton of copies and this might tip other devs off that, it's totally okay to sell a game with almost no story and then charge you for said story in future expansions. I really hope Destiny's success doesn't encourage other devs to do this, but I wouldn't be surprised in the least to see future EA and Ubisoft games employing this strategy.
