I've put a few evenings into the game on PS4 and...honestly, this game's kind of boring and severely underwhelming considering the money and hype put into it. The Destiny universe is interesting and I
want to explore it, but there's just nothing
there. The environments are huge and beautiful, but also ridiculously empty. It feels like I'm spending hours wandering through empty corridors, occasionally shooting at enemies. Bungie didn't think the Call of Duty crowd would be intelligent enough to read lore (and they're probably right), so every scrap of lore was banished to their website. And thanks to the stupid online requirement, I can't play the game at all anytime my family's using the kitchen microwave.
My biggest problem, though, is that so far (I'm a Level 9 Hunter, and I just completed the World' Grave mission on the moon) every...single...mission in this game is exactly the same: wander through this same area you've crossed 5 billion times to this one spot, shoot some guys, find the thing to latch your Ghost onto, and then fight off waves of enemies till mission completion. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. There's absolutely no NPC interaction and barely even an
attempt at storytelling so far. The gunplay's great, but that's all there
is to this game. Even Call of Duty games have better storytelling than this game, and
that's saying something. Hell, when frickin'
Borderlands looks like a Final Fantasy game by comparison to your game, you done ****ed-up.

Maybe I'll like the game better once I play some multi, but right now the game's just looking like it should have a sticker on the box saying "Warning: a huge backlog of podcasts
required to enjoy this game." I do enjoy the Public Events; the music is fantastic; and the game is
gorgeous...but I just wish all that was in service of a better game.
