I knew this would happen. Bungie hyping shit too much lol. Content feels very very weak.
WAS DESTINY'S FULL GAME CONTENT DISCOVERED?

Agreed. I don't think its that bad/weak, but the hype the game has(F U Bungie you always do this) will work against it IMHO. Nowadays you need to be really careful about overhyping your games . Sure you might get good cash in the opening day, but then people will start getting disappointed and the hate starts pouring it.
Either way I played a lot in the beta, I'll most likely be playing for a long while.
People were expecting MMO-level content though. That sucks.

At the moment?
No, this isn't a day 1 buy for me, not even if it came out on PC first. It was pretty fun, but also rather frustrating and dull in many ways.
The Warlock was disappointing. What I played of it anyway. I expected a super kewl magician guy who tossed magic like Zack Fair tosses salad. What I got was a fairly weak gunslinger class who could throw fancy grenades or shoot a generic energy blast with long cooldowns. Disappointing.
Bungie's track-record of making very solid shooters shows through in this game, but they need to work on thinking outside of that shooter box. Not only are the special abilities too generic in look and function, but even the weapons are very by the numbers.
I mean, this is supposed to be some pretty hardcore sci-fi/fantasy, yet every gun is more or less the same old tacticool modern warfare stuff we in every shooter. Point it at something, pull the trigger, it shoots some kind of bullet or energy bullet in a straight line.
I feel like they have a very great opportunity to be creative and come up with some fun, quirky stuff for both the weapons and the abilities. Stuff like the gravity gun, or even the Chainsaw bayonet (frequently held up as an example of gamer immaturity, but **** that- that thing was fun as **** to use from game 1 to game 4).
As it currently stands, I find myself looking upon the enemies' guns and their little homing bullets with envy- though even those guns are rather repetitive (the fodder have smaller guns that shoot bullets that track you- the boss units have larger guns that shoot larger bullets that track you). I mean, didn't they come up with the needler like 10 years ago? They could do better.
The game doesn't have nearly enough content or polish to warrant a day 1 release from me, but I see lots of potential for it to be great in the future- perhaps after a couple years of additional content.
