If that is the case, he sure did deliver. It is almost like Bungie specifically told Dinklage to play his robotic character as devoid of personality as possible. I'm not quite sure what exactly is at fault, whether it is the game's writing, his voice director, or simply the performance itself, but Dinklage is completely wasted here, and every line he delivers is almost comical in its lifelessness and lack of any actual meaning. companion Ghost, voiced by "Game of Thrones" star Peter Dinklage. It doesn't help that 90 percent of the game's "plot" is simply exposition from your A.I. It is halfway through the game's story missions until what could be loosely described as a plot even appears, with the 4-5 previous hours of gameplay basically boiling down to "Go here, shoot this, these guys are bad." The game constantly bombards the player with made-up terms but gives little to no explanation as to what they are, and tries even less to make you care. Instead, Destiny offers a story completely devoid of character, drama or anything else. Little did we know that Destiny's plot doesn't extend beyond that brief synopsis. Sadly, it isn't the technical side of Destiny that stumbles but its narrative and world-building.Īlmost since the game's announcement, we've known Destiny would revolve around the role of Guardians in the universe, players who fight against an oncoming darkness to restore a golden age of humanity that once spanned the cosmos. At a core level the gameplay hooks of Destiny are easy to grow attached to, as the actual gameplay itself is fantastic. All the while players are obtaining new gear and unlocking new abilities for their character class. Players create a character (a Guardian) from a selection of three classes (Warlock, Titan, Hunter) and three races (Human, Awoken, Exo) and join three-man fire-teams to explore planets like Mars and Venus and battle humanity's enemies in various missions. It blends together other features more commonly seen in MMOs and RPGs to create what Bungie calls a "shared world" shooter that emphasizes cooperative play. For a game Bungie has declared players will be enjoying for years to come, Destiny is surprisingly light on content, story and really anything that isn't outright technical production values.īut before we get to that, what is Destiny ? Available on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4 and PS3, Destiny is a shooter first and foremost. The answer isn't obvious, and I'm not sure I have one. After playing for more than 15 hours, reaching the game's level cap and participating in the end-game content designed to keep me playing for hours on end, my first question is a simple one: where exactly did that $500 million go? Destiny, Bungie's new sci-fi epic, was reportedly made for more than $500 million in partnership with game publishing giant Activision.
