I'm not getting that impression from the OP at all. If anything, I'm getting the impression from a lot of people that they have been hyping themselves up way too much for this and are now blinded by how mediocre it is but still try to convince themselves that the game is amazing and special. Of course, that is just words from some guy on the internet, so don't take it too harshly.
I've played the Destiny beta a lot. The weapons are very generic and uninspiring, aside from the fusion rifle which is brilliant (the highlight of the beta). The special abilities of the classes are extremely dull. The open world is somehow linear (similar to how the "open worlds" of Borderlands are linear). The enemy AI rely on increased HP and DMG values to increase the difficulty opposed to actual smart behavior. When you level up you also become vastly more superior in HP and DMG every time so taking on enemies a few levels below you is a cake walk and taking on enemies a few levels above you is near impossible as they one shot you. This also means that the only way to play with a friend is if they are within one or two levels of you. Why this leveling system is so popular is beyond me. And then PVP, which coming from the Halo creators is the absolute biggest disappointment. There is no new ideas and no depth to it at all. I'd go so far as to call it "tacked on." Fun for a few matches but quickly becomes boring as you realize there's really nothing to it.
If this game was made by anyone other than Bungie I doubt very many people would care.
DISCLAIMER: I'm not saying Destiny is garbage. I'm only saying that it adds nothing that we haven't seen before elsewhere. It'll still be a fun game to play through, but I doubt many people will stick around too long. Which is good, because Destiny 2 come out in 2016.
Amarr are the good guys
Their way of the Commando seems right and noble
