It's an FPSMMO and has been touted as such for awhile....
Yeah and anyone who had the opportunity should have tried the beta. Then they would know what they are getting(or not getting). I personally played about 12 hours solo in the beta and never felt bored or anything. I was mostly glimmer and cryptarch farming. It has for as long as I can remember, been advertised as a shared world shooter with a cooperative focus.
The guy at work who didnt buy destiny didnt really wanna buy my second copy of the game that came with my console for $40 so i just traded it in at GameStop and put it toward my sunset overdrive xb1 bundle pre-order. They gave me $43.50 for it. Not bad IMO.
Oh and question, are you locked into your subclass? Meaning if you want to try Sunsinger on warlock at lv15 are you locked into sunsinger or can you go back to voidwalker for times when you want those abilities?
