Destiny + all expansions review
1 of 2 found this helpful It is said this game cost more than half a billion dollars to make. That is an incredibly massive investment for such a really short game.
Honestly, I still can't believe how short it is. It can't be this short, can it? The maps for each of only 4 planets (yes, only 4) are medium to big but are barely used. There are only a handful of core story missions for each planet and even these missions feel repetitive because they make you retrace over the same places you've already been.
The core story makes it sound like you are embarking on a super big, long journey. Unfortunately this is not the case. You power through the few core story missions and after a few short hours find you have actually beat the game. They have extra side objectives (grinding stuff) to help you build up your characters level, skills, etc. and this serves as a temporary distraction to the fact that you've already beat the stupid game! It hits you like a bag of bricks once you realize there's no more. That's it. Now all you can do is grind in the same areas which already felt repetitive way before because you've already retraced your steps there. It's pretty much like a small sandbox, and you keep grinding within this small sandbox, repetitively doing very similar things. The fun ends way before you realized it. It really leaves you in shock and awe as to how a game this expensive can be so unbelievably short.
