I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
about the long-term appeal of Destiny Rising, where the main thing I can praise it for is decent enough gunplay for mobile. But, the more I play the more I notice a few things that I think even Destiny 2 could learn from. Certainly not its awful gacha model and ludicrously stereotypical microtransaction store, but a few other gameplay-related things.
There are a couple decent activities in Destiny Rising, but one that I find to be a standout is a game from Xur that has you progress through increasingly hard rounds of combat, each time picking up a modifier “card” that changes something about you or enemies, like for instance, casting a homing meteor every time you use a skill. Then an upgrade after the next round may increase that meteor’s damage or add two of them at a time.
There is still plenty I dislike about Destiny Rising. The entire monetization model, though expected for a mobile game, still feels gross. The dialogue and script is truly embarrassing on every level. But it gets some things right and has at least a couple things even Destiny 2 doesn’t have. I’m curious if Bungie will take anything away from this.Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.
