Destiny is a game that is made incredibly well that is boring as shit. The mission structure is so damned repetitive, the loot system is weak as hell. it looks and plays wonderfully and has a truly epic soundtrack, but that music kicks in and the action doesn't match it. It is enjoyable, but not very much fun. I am glad I scored it for $35. Pretty much you nailed it on the head. It's decent, but nothing to write home about. I am also glad that I scored it for $35, plus the midnight release that my GameStop did was fun as hell. I won a trivia contest and got to take home their promo display poster for the new Borderlands prequel. So it's not a complete loss.

See, I keep hearing how this is, essentially... the vanilla release of Destiny. Where the main area of focus is supposed to be endgame with the raids starting to roll out this week.
Now, granted...this will bring about a whole, "OOOH ANOTHER GAME BEING RELEASED WITHOUT BEING FINISHED, GOD THIS NEW ERA OF GAMING IS LAZY!" argument.... but, with a game that shares as many similarities to an MMO in structure, it makes sense they'd just make the leveling areas available right away as it'll take a week or two to get to an acceptable level to do a raid anyway. Then, if they did it right, it'll take at least a few weeks for anyone to make it through the first raid.
Really, I'm reserving judgement until we see what kind of support Bungie has lined up for the game over the course of the next six months to a year. If content dries up in that period of time, I have no problem shrugging my shoulders and calling this game a failure.
I do think they need more options for leveling, though. Grinding is grinding, but it just really feels like they threw you into a confined area and just said, "Make do wit this and be happy with it!" I'd have to assume the inaccessible areas will open up in later expansions and content releases... but right now, it does feel like we're being kenneled a bit.

Sadly, I have no excitement for Borderlands the Pre-sequel, and I was like a crack fiend for the first game. Part 2 let me down once I hit True Vault Hunter mode. I felt the same way. Borderlands 1 was awesome, I played it for hours, finished it multiple times as each character. The second game, got halfway through New Game + as Zero and gave up because it just felt...boring by comparison. Destiny, I'm glad I played the Beta, otherwise I might have been tempted to get it. Probably will at some point, but it's not a must buy IMO.

If it only gets good at the end why bother with the rest of the stuff... why not just work from there? And I get progression but there's no reason you can't make the ride to the end level raids and stuff interesting and fun as well.

Think I'm gonna pass on Destiny, at least until there's a price drop or more content comes out.
I've gone back to Borderlands 2 to get myself prepared for Borderlands: The Pre-sequel next month.

Picked up First Light. This was my first time playing an Infamous game and while I really enjoyed it, I'm still not sure if I'll pick up Second Son.

Second Son isn't terrible by all means, but the powers are rather blah and Delsin is just...he's just the worst. If you have a PS3, you're way better off picking up the first two inFamous games.

His brother is even worse. Evil Delsin is more likable than good. At least it has a great villain.

Sadly, I have no excitement for Borderlands the Pre-sequel, and I was like a crack fiend for the first game. Part 2 let me down once I hit True Vault Hunter mode. I felt the same way. Borderlands 1 was awesome, I played it for hours, finished it multiple times as each character. The second game, got halfway through New Game + as Zero and gave up because it just felt...boring by comparison. I loved the first one but played it only once with Roland. I loved the second one yup till ultimate vault hunter. They turned the difficulty up to one million and you NEED good legendary gear to even put a dent in things. If I can get pre-sequel(The complete edition at that) then I'll play it.
