The raw excitement of the reveal of concept art as well as actual functionality of Destiny's weapons and armors while at E3 was something that got everyone's adrenaline pumping. I knew that from that very moment, I wanted Destiny. However now that the game is "up and running", it seems that so much was promised yet so much was not delivered. Many have expressed their concerns not only with the game mechanics, but also with the lack of unique and different designs for the weapons as well as armor. It seems that every weapon or every piece of armor is identical. Auto rifles are a good example of this. When you think of auto rifles, what comes to mind? The mag is always in front of the trigger, the stock connects the grip as well as the body, and the light blue glow of the ammo screen seems generic. This goes for other weapons as well. Yes, there are some small variations in some weapons, but mainly all things stay the same. Coming from the creators of the legendary Halo series, this seems pretty weak and simply lazy. The same goes for armor. We were promised unique looks and ways to make your character unlike any other. As has clearly been seen, this is not the case. Yes, Titans are plated, Hunters are 50/50, and Warlocks always wear robes. I understand the class armor system but the promised ways to make your character your own, haven't been implemented. All robes look identical, all chest plates look identical, all gauntlets do, etc. This feature was probably one of the most anticipated of many, yet, now we are shown the limitations placed on our creativity and imagination. I feel that the efforts put forth were minimal and disappointing. If Bungie adds more models and looks without charging the player, then their name may be preserved. What are your opinions and thoughts on the subject?
