How Destiny Turns Into Diablo...New EG Article

Fresh Meat – Brand Spanking New EG Article. Enjoy. [quote]Tried and tested role-playing game mechanics are at play here, [b]layered on top of the 30 seconds of fun first-person shooting gameplay loop Bungie is known for[/b]. Bungie's Halo games steered clear of a progression system for the most part. All players in Halo's much-loved competitive multiplayer, for example, began each match on a level playing field. Not so in Destiny. In Destiny, improving your character with better equipment, weapons and abilities is the name of the game.[/quote] This is well worth remembering. [quote]At the cap more Strikes present themselves, six-player Raids become available and there are higher levels of PvP you can engage in with better weapons and armour. You can also unlock more abilities on your focus, which is a "longer tail process", Green says. Expect to work long and hard to unlock all the third tier options within your focus.[/quote] [quote]When Bungie talks about adding something new to the Destiny world every day, it's referring to a raft of content. New activities will be on the high end of the new daily content, but realistically what we're looking at here for the most part are new challenges, achievements and gear to obtain. "But there will be something new to do every single day," Parsons insists. "And that's cool to think about from a planning perspective. We have the time to do it right."[/quote] Appetizers.

    [quote]Expect to work long and hard to unlock all the third tier options within your focus.[/quote] I hope unlocking these doesn't turn into a bunch of "skills challenges" like say, prestiging in Titanfall does. We're not all interested in performing parlor tricks to gain the next lvl...
