Guardians Victorious in Destiny's First Raid
I think that's par for the course for raids in other MMORPGs, isn't it? Bungie may not like having the "MMO" term associated with their new IP, but that's really what it is: a massively multiplayer online first-person shooter. Granted though, that raid (called the Vault of Glass), and all future raids in Destiny can only accomodate up to six people per instance, which extends the playtime needed. But I kinda like that the game is splitting people up into smaller, more manageable groups, instead of like, 10-15. The action becomes much tighter and intense in that case.
Oh yeah. The game has its faults, and it's not entirely what it was hyped up to be. Story is bland, there's no custom modes on multiplayer, game mechanics are indeed grindy, sometimes in the wrong way. If you read the reviews, most will be lukewarm about it - this tends to paint it in a bad light. But at its heart, it's still a solid, fun, and really addicting game. Especially with friends. Ravenflau and I agreed that it's almost a lot like RR's other-other favorite game - right down to the syandanas.
Shameless plug: if ever you guys decide to get it... you know which clan to join. Right now, Flau and I are the only ones there (LOL), but we're getting to play with a ton of other people from other clans and it's been a very enjoyable experience so far. I myself added maybe like 20 new people on PSN just from looking around.
Overall, as you can tell, I dig this game. It appeals to my space cowboy hero aesthetic.
