Before you flame, just stop and think for a minute. It's pretty easy to spot the sources that Bungie blatantly rips off. Just as Halo was Larry Niven's Ringworld combined with Starship Troopers, so to is destiny an awkward mash-up of older, better science fiction. Consider the following: -Destiny has a loose alliance of different races living together (similar to Mass Effect) -Destiny has psychic space-magic (pretty much identical to Mass Effect) -The heroes of Destiny fight a powerful but mysterious alien enemy with strange motives (Mass Effect) -The "good" races of Destiny are aided by an even stranger race of extremely powerful aliens, these aliens shelter the good races from harm and establish a sort of benevolent dictatorship. Despite all this, no one really knows who the good aliens are or why they take such an interest in protecting their society. Some suspect that their motives might not be entirely pure (this is pretty much the whole plot of Childhood's End) -And of course, Destiny is a multiplayer RPG/shooter that revolves around PvE missions, collecting loot, and weapon customization with several different character classes (Borderlands) With this evidence presented, it becomes plain to see how unoriginal Bungie's writing team has become. It's sad that such a successful game studio has to rip of so much material from other sources. I hope Bungie will try to be more original in future titles but sadly that seems unlikely. Thanks for reading.
