People need to take the right lesson from Destiny, not the wrong one.
Open world shooters are a BAD thing. There has never been one that captured an audience successfully, and there are very good reasons for that. Especially as they try to emulate typical MMO PvE behavior of "bullshit spawns in this area, AI is idiotic, farm rinse repeat".
Nobody playing an FPS is looking for that kind of brain dead activity and it's why everybody is getting sick of Destiny in a hurry. The idea of CCP's sandbox areas is just going to fall into the same trap Destiny did, only with a lower budget so it will actually look and feel even worse than Destiny did.
If anything is going to be open world, it needs to be station/ship environments. That can actually be made relevant and can be managed across all three game clients. This whole wandering around a bullshit barren planet picking up junk metal while really stupid robots try to shoot at you wasn't fun in Destiny and it won't be fun in Legion either. It's completely typical aimless design talk from CCP that will never manifest into anything original, as usual, so they will attempt to copy Destiny and sink their own ship.
It's not fun, it's work. I don't play games for that. |

if you call idling in a station with spreadsheets all over your HUD while you are trying to find your next target to scam not bad.

Open World Shooters are only bad when their implementation is bad. Almost no company has ever pulled it off before Bungie decided to give it a try. That means there was no template to work on to make it better so it's no surprise Destiny slipped up over here.
But now that Destiny is out, this means there is finally a template to work on as an example of what, and what not, to do. I hope CCP is paying attention to this using this example to make sure Legion doesn't fall into the same problem. They need to implement open world shooters just right in order to succeed. People didn't think Eve Online's gameplay model would ever work because no one ever tried it before but now Eve has become a successful game. Of course, that didn't stop CCP from making major blunders like they did with Dust and WoD.

Open World MMO shooters have never been done. Destiny isn't even a open world shooter imo; the areas are quite small, and very disconnected. If you think Destiny is a Open World shooter, you must think Warframe is as well, as it's the same concept in a different type of view.
Also, do you not know what Fallout is? if a MMO came out for Fallout, it would be a hit. |

Honestly I've started to realize that Bungie has recently gone down the same road CCP has already. Let me elaborate.
CCP Games: 1. Create Eve Online. 2. Compete against other games like EA's Earth & Beyond. 3. ??? 4. Profit. 5. Become overconfident. 6. Create Dust. 7. ??? 8. Fail to live up to hype.
Bungie: 1. Create Halo. 2. Compete against games like CoD and BF. 3. ??? 4. Profit. 5. Become overconfident. 6. Create Destiny. 7. ??? 8. Fail to live up to hype.
Um... what?

Hmm... I completely forgot about Fallout.
Also, I just remembered GTAV and Watch_Dogs. Those are open world shooters as well.

Not actually disappointed with Destiny.
Those guys that rated Destiny a 6/10 are the same ones that rated Titanfall a 9/10, and Call of Duty: Ghosts a 8/10.
Yet, Destiny is completely better than both of those games.
That 6/10 rating is bogus just to get the crowds fired up, and give critics against the game ammunition.
Destiny is a totally superior console gaming experience. The only thing it's missing are proper systems to support player meta-gaming: like pvp territory control, crafting and player economies. Little extras like player "housing" (private spaces) would be nice.
6/10 is baloney, and anyone that has played Destiny seriously with their friends knows this.

I haven't played Destiny yet, but unless im missing something, all the videos I've seen remind me of Borderlands 2 with better graphics. I was kinda dissapointed. Unless I'm missing something, that is. An even more negative comment I heard on that CEO Pyrex video was that people were finishing the story mode in 1 day. Kinda crappy if that's true. So yea, Dust is still my fav FPS. I hope this Legion thing really works out. |

People in the comment section of the Gamespot review have reported being able to complete the game in less than a day. From what everyone is saying, it's too focused on PVE just like Warframe and very little emphasis is given to PVP.

Skyrim can be completed in a day. Morrowind can be completed in a day. Dark Souls, a day. Halo 1-4, one day each. All the GTA games, each a day. Virtually every single game that comes out these days can be completed in... one single day.
Anyway, I never understood why people put so much stock in the opinions of random people that they don't and will not ever know. And I still don't understand why people look at everything as if it were binary, and why ~80% of the 1-10 scoring system is relegated to the category of "bad."
The videogame review "industry" is complete trash. But people keep lapping up those subjective and opinionated reviews, and hold them up as some sort of factual representation of quality...

The only thing Destiny "needs" is a means of making PVP important.
As for the completion time, someone already made the point that many good games can be completed fairly quickly.
Warframe still has me as a hooked player precisely because it's PVE focused. DE, the developers for Warframe, never actually intended for Warframe to have PVP at all. But they still went ahead and provided the Conclave because some players just absolutely begged for it. The only serious player competition in Warframe are clans competing for control of some of the PVE nodes, through Solar Rail construction. Basically, economic competition through PVE territory control. And it works.
Destiny doesn't need PVP to be successful. It's a very fun co-op game, because PVE is simply that good. It uses basic formulae for PVE, and it's fine.
I went to Venus for the first time in Destiny last night, and had an awesome boss fight, with a couple of friends.
My only regret about Destiny is that it's not on PC, and that is also the reason I will leave it behind when Legion has a playable iteration developed.
Otherwise, all the criticism against Destiny is a lot of grasping for straws. Destiny is probably the best next gen console game available right now; and is arguably one of the finest games ever made on merit of the simplicity of its mechanics being so fun.
@OP: CCP doesn't seem to have the budget and staff size of Bungie, so comparisons wouldn't be fair. It would also be unfair to expect Legion to come out in a manner timely enough to be a confronter of Destiny during its infancy, but I have no doubt that it will be a threat to Destiny if and when CCP delivers it.

I like the idea on incidental PVP that may occur in lowsec in legion if it follows the same model as EVE to be honest.
Many visits to the open world section of destiny feel very 'samey' but i suppose that opens up the more you play as you get more sites to visit.
I hope CCP stick with the idea of planting your flag in legion that was mentioned at fanfest as this is what destiny feels like its lacking to be honest but it is meant to be co-op you are fighting the aliens rather than each other.
I play Destiny and Dust and to be honest I appreciate dust a whole lot more because of it.
Now if only CCP would throw us a bone and tell/show us something more about Legion.
The openworld of Legion needs to be more than just a redress of Destiny though. It needs to be deeper. It also needs to retain the Character customisation level of DUST.
Anyone getting annoyed by reading of the above post should consider the following.
I don't care so neither should you :)

I see your point there.
As for your comment to the OP, when you think about it, Legion is not even going to be able to compete directly with Destiny because Legion will be on the PC while Destiny is on the console. That's like saying Microsoft is competing with Walmart. However, I can see the player retention being a problem for Destiny since a lot of console players tend to move on to the next big hype while only the dedicated handful of players remain. Kind of like me with Halo where many players move on to the next iteration while I stick around with Halo 3 due to its simplicity and lack of hassles when it comes to multiplayer -- Halo 4's login process is not exactly hassle-free.
PC games don't seem to have that problem, or at least not as much as compared to consoles. A lot of PC players that I know in real life seem to stick around with one or two games or simulators for a very long time before they move on to the next.

I'm a harsh critic of CCP sometimes so I'm no fanboi. Also, I limited myself to just $60 worth of AUR goods. I'm not like some people here who dropped hundreds of dollars on this game at one time. I even recall someone who dropped as much as $1000 for Contact Locus Grenades which later got nerfed shortly after due to popular demand. Boy, did that guy rage or what?

It's not fun, it's work. I don't play games for that. Farming is part of every MMO. To make a good Sandbox MMOFPS, one needs to give players objectives such as "This NPC has been causing havoc. End him." Maybe "Infiltrate this facility without getting caught."
Think skyrim, Dust wanted to go to that direction (kinda), but never got the chance. Maybe Legion... |

Well WoW has had several expansions, it's what keeps the game fresh for vet players.
Also, I call bull on completing it in a day. Getting to level 20 in a day, possible but you'd be power levelling. But that's like judging a game on the basis of its tutorial. The game doesn't even really start until level 20. You'd struggle just to do the first raid (Vault of Glass) in less than 8 hours and you couldn't get the gear in order to get to level 26 (the required level) without about 50+ hours of play.
If you blow through just the story missions in Skyrim it suddenly becomes a very short game (I heard the speed run record is something like 1 hour). It's side questing and hunting for loot that makes up the majority of the game.
I'm about 60 hours in, I have plenty of my own complaints (lack of in game world building/lore, bullet sponge bosses, missions badly designed where the only way to beat them is through exploits) but when the game is going well and I'm having fun its more fun than I had in Dust or any other game recently.

Unless I'm missing something, that is. An even more negative comment I heard on that CEO Pyrex video was that people were finishing the story mode in 1 day. Kinda crappy if that's true. So yea, Dust is still my fav FPS. I hope this Legion thing really works out.
Destiny is a game that really shouldn't have had a story mode. It was there, but, wasn't there. And you couldn't really be playing the story for the action 'cause most of the times you'll end up being a higher level then the story mode missions intended and pretty much do a destiny version of a Proto stomp.

Open world shooters are a BAD thing. There has never been one that captured an audience successfully, and there are very good reasons for that. Especially as they try to emulate typical MMO PvE behavior of "bullshit spawns in this area, AI is idiotic, farm rinse repeat".
Nobody playing an FPS is looking for that kind of brain dead activity and it's why everybody is getting sick of Destiny in a hurry. The idea of CCP's sandbox areas is just going to fall into the same trap Destiny did, only with a lower budget so it will actually look and feel even worse than Destiny did.
If anything is going to be open world, it needs to be station/ship environments. That can actually be made relevant and can be managed across all three game clients. This whole wandering around a bullshit barren planet picking up junk metal while really stupid robots try to shoot at you wasn't fun in Destiny and it won't be fun in Legion either. It's completely typical aimless design talk from CCP that will never manifest into anything original, as usual, so they will attempt to copy Destiny and sink their own ship.
It's not fun, it's work. I don't play games for that. Open World Shooters are only bad when their implementation is bad. Almost no company has ever pulled it off before Bungie decided to give it a try. That means there was no template to work on to make it better so it's no surprise Destiny slipped up over here. But now that Destiny is out, this means there is finally a template to work on as an example of what, and what not, to do. I hope CCP is paying attention to this using this example to make sure Legion doesn't fall into the same problem. They need to implement open world shooters just right in order to succeed. People didn't think Eve Online's gameplay model would ever work because no one ever tried it before but now Eve has become a successful game. Of course, that didn't stop CCP from making major blunders like they did with Dust and WoD.
Not much of a pc gamer are you?.
There are fking loads of open world shooters. They are all badly implemented but destiny is no better. In fact its worse in many cases.

i think destiny is going for the casual gamer with the raids being the exception. casual gamers outnumber the rest of us by far. folks like games they can pick up and just play without having to think much. the pve in destiny provides that for those folks. cods easy controls and quick matches provides that as well for the casual. thus they sell. to me, destiny is just a game to casually play with my friends, i can not take it seriously especially the pvp with all the weird super abilities. |
