There's also all sorts of destinies, don't forget!

Slightly more serious answer: there was a big space ball on Mars and some astronauts found it. The space ball knew all about science and we learned a lot from it like how to make floating robots who sound like Tyrion Lannister and how to use midichlorians. Then some bad stuff happened and only one city that was directly shielded by the Space Ball survived, and then the Covenant came but there are four main groups who don't like each other very much.

It is your destiny to get loot, Diablo/Borderlands-style while shooting things Halo/Borderlands-style.

Your *Destiny.*

so mass effect basically

She leaves the Sparrow and climbs a long way across spars of volcano rock and between vents of blue fire. Down below the Ishtar ruins spark with skirmish light but the guns seem as distant and brief as the constant starfall and the brooding crater high above. She is alone on the rock. She goes on with her head down so as to fight the sense that she is going to fall up off the world and burn like an inverse meteor.

^that's basically what you can expect from destiny's writing

Is warframe a better game than destiny? I only played a bit of it when I got my ps4 but I remember the shooting being pretty ok and it was free

never played destiny but warframe is pretty fun. i will say though that the grind to get good weapons and frames is long and really obnoxious.

it's sounding like destiny is making a lot of the same mistakes borderlands 2 made

at the very least, the level scaling poo poo sounds pretty dumb and very similar to the system borderlands had in place
