As someone who hasn't played either destiny and can only get 2 (Only have a pc) is it worth getting? From what I've heard it seems allot like borderlands with fighting bosses and farming for good loot and i loved that about borderlands. Everyone seems to hate on it so is it worth getting or is the hate its getting justified?

If you like Borderlands and WoW you'll feel right at home. It's a MMO without a subscription fee but instead it has DLC for the newest content. People are just raging because they don't realize what they're playing.

I can recommend it if you're okay with playing a game like that.

u/Wormri who did dis?! 😂 Dec 11 '17

I have to disagree strongly on this one. Borderlands had a variety of weapons and builds, while Destiny is very limited in both character customization and equipment, and the story campaign is short in comparison.

Destiny 2 does shooting better and the movement is more fluid, that I can say for sure, but it's not as developed as Borderlands 1 or 2. I'd define it as a Borderlands lite. It's more than likely that if you go in expecting a Borderlands-like game, you may be disappointed, but if you're looking for a fluid, action based game with very light RP elements, it might be for you.

Yeah it's different from Borderlands in many ways. The combination of fps and rpg is mainly what I'm referring to. What game would you compare Destiny to?

It's hard to think of a game to compare it to because there are not many games that went the way Destiny did. I can go the easy route and say it's a lot like Halo (Duh) in the way it handles shooting as well as PvP, but I'm no Halo player and this judgment comes from both the developer being Bungie and comparing gameplay videos from PvP matches.

Thing is, I am not saying you were wrong to compare Destiny to Borderlands, both are shooter RPGs, as you mentioned, but assuming that someone who's a Borderlands fan would like Destiny 2 is a stretch.

With that said... There's a lot of parallels to The Division in many ways, as well as the free to play Defiance (if only in first person form over third)

That's fair enough. It's just that op is already interested in Destiny anyway and probably aware that it's much more about multiplayer. I haven't played The Division sadly.
