The other part of this repetitiveness issue, the played out mechanics, might be what annoys the most people overall. That’s reserved for games with so much content that it would be impossible to have played that strike in the last year. Destiny has yet to earn the right to recycle entire levels based on the premise that it is a fun romp down memory lane. One part of this game literally has you complete the first strike event (difficult three player co-op missions) in the game again. This issue can be sub-divided into missions that are not that inventive because the mechanics are played out, and missions that are not inventive because they’re simply recycled.

Now that I have gotten that off my chest, I should also point out that the mission design is a little repetitive.

If Bungie wants me to acknowledge those cards as part of the game then I have to be able to access them in the game. Veterans of the franchise might take this chance to remind me of the Destiny lore you can read on digital trading cards by logging into To those people I will simply say that I am paid to review games and not websites. Instead we once again find ourselves in a world where YouTubers and web comics are giving us more backstory than the game itself. ANYTHING! Who or what is the giant white ball in the sky? Why is it so important that they made it a Easter egg in Halo 3 ODST? What’s with the various factions in the tower? Why did they think I would just fight for them the moment I showed up? Why are there three groups of guardians who basically play the same way? Why do we keep finding new forms of currency but not new forms of bad guys to fight? Did aliens really land in Nevada? Is Elvis really still alive? Why are the mint chocolate Girl Guide cookies always better after you stick them in the freezer for 10 minutes? Nighy utter those words and I am still waiting for Bungie to explain something. You first meet him after the tutorial levels and at some point he literally says, “You must have no end of questions, Guardian.” It has been three years since I first heard Mr. It’s not a terrible story, but I couldn’t help but think of the first time my character shared a cutscene with the Speaker (an NPC in the tower voiced by British actor Bill Nighy).
