Posted: May 5th, 2014. - I don't see that as a bad thing. - Comparing Destiny to Borderlands or Diablo 3 is a compliment... and a [i]complement[/i]. - We shouldn't be afraid or overly concerned with Destiny being an ARPG shooter. Destiny looks fun as hell to me. Seems like it will have a very rewarding (no pun intended) and addicting loot system. Which takes its cues, [i][b]yet learns valuable lessons[/b][/i], from other shoot and loot style games. Seems like a win/win to me. We get a new Bungie game with their trademark tight-gunplay [i]and[/i] we get a fun, co-op driven, social gaming experience that steadily earns us new and interesting items. While hopefully carefully avoiding the pitfalls of other games from the same genre. [b]Dress to Kill.

The idea will grow on you. Destiny is Bungie's introduction into the world of ARPG investment games and I'm excited.Seems like they are taking all the best from that genre and cutting out the rest. Making the whole concept more intuitive and thoughtful. It's one of those things you will ultimately have to either embrace or walk away from and go preorder a copy of Halo 5/COD. But I think many of you will be surprised by how much you enjoy Bungie's take on the ARPG shooter genre.
