Destiny

Great review I agree wholeheartedly with everything you said. I think the problem nowadays is people generate thier own expectations for games that the developer never intended, it's no thier fault you expected X and Y when they only ever promised A and B. Plus now they have released what sounds like an epic raid a lot of the critisism levied at destiny is moot. Hope they enjoy the taste of their hats.

TL:DR; It's an MMO people in 6months time it will be a much more rounded beast entirely.

@AlexH1232 the game review is very good and I was really enjoying the game but if you play it as a single player it can be at times ridiculously though. With no one to help me on the 'no re-spawn' parts I found it quite tough on an early moon mission. Last night I was attempting an earth level 5 mission called 'The last array' on the normal setting and It appears to be impossible vast hordes of enemies cascading down on top of me, just when you think you have finished them all off. I have finished most Halo games on the legendary setting but this gives you no chance or strategy to achieve a win and as I stated, this was only the normal difficulty level setting.

I haven't even unlocked the multiplayer game yet and I may never if I don't finish this mission. So from going from a very well polished/enjoyable game to something that can't recognise that I have no help of other people helping me, is a very big flaw that appears to show that it was never play tested. I would hate to see what the hardest setting would result in. My guess is that it might have the silhouette of a PS4 controller embedded in a large flat screen tv. I am off to give it another go but it it appears that bungie may at times be a tad sardonic.

@Jake Just an update, I finished this level by trying to kill as much as possible before they they enter the room. Fourth time lucky but it should not be this hard on normal. I have now unlocked the multiplayer, but I now wish I hadn't. The review says that it's unbalanced with players doing stomp attacks etc. but it is much worse than this. I achieved one kill by accident they must have nearly been finished off by the time I got to them. I am playing with full health, picked up some special ammo started shooting at someone firing my one shot rifle (similar to Halo's DMR) several shots hit over a few seconds them with little damage. They then turned around and obliterate me. this is not just unbalanced, it's completely unplayable.

They need to have a matchmaking option where you can play against mere mortals, instead of been pitted against the gods. Back to BF4 until this is fixed (if ever), and to gingerly play the main campaign in small doses to keep frustrating levels at bay.

@Jake Fair point about the difficulty and balancing, I found crucible tricky to get into in the early stages but when it clicks it feels pretty damn good. Matchmaking would fix this, any reason you are going it alone? If you want add me up on PS4 (PSN is the same as above) I don't get to play as often as I'd like but I could definitely do with someone to play bf4 with my friends don't have the patience to get into it online :)
