If you truly care about the Diablo III story, more power to you, but something has gone horribly wrong. There are parallels between the good and bad aspects of both games.
#DIABLO 3 VS DIABLO 3 REAPER OF SOULS UPGRADE#
Should I upgrade to this high-armor helmet, or should I use the less powerful version with better upgrade potential? Does this weapon give me the best damage statistics I could possibly have at this point? Diablo III isn’t just a superior action-RPG, it feels like a more mature version of Destiny. Outside of its admittedly fantastic shooting, Destiny shines brightest when one is playing its numbers game.

There is a blatant gameplay difference between these two titles, that much is more than clear. Is Destiny just a lesser version of Diablo III?īefore you all tear me to threads, yes, I fully understand that Diablo III is a traditional top-down action-RPG and Destiny is a (sigh) socially-connected first-person shooter with RPG elements. Destiny certainly proves its worth as an engaging action-RPG, but I feel like I’ve played something recently that does all of these things better. It’s an experience that’s strengthened through level grinding, character modification, and gear acquisition. Destiny is all about shooting and looting. Sure, the story’s quality falls somewhere between “Um” and “Pure Garbage” ( Editor’s Note: These are not actual points on the Hardcore Gamer Scale), but does that truly matter? The menu-based navigation system may transform the exciting prospect of exploration into a glorified list, but that’s not keeping millions of people away from their televisions.

While it isn’t the insanely progressive experience we all hoped it would be, Destinycan still be pretty entertaining.
