We've already explained why there's no review available at launch, but in the short amount of time the game has been available, a slew of information about it has already crept up, but is it for the good of the game and its players?

I'm enjoying Destiny so far and as you mentioned multiple times I love exploring all the little nooks and crannies.

I got the s**** at my brother in Diablo 3 ROS because he joined my campaign I said don't skip cut scenes but out of habit he skipped the cut scene where Andaria (The Witch) does her evil morph thing

I find it hard to slow down on leveling because it feels like a grind to me. Most games have typically been like that, with endgame on the way. I know I'd be hard pressed as a developer to make a game that everyone enjoys leveling on, unless it's IdleRPG. :P

Once I've gone through it once, I'd happily smash through and ignore story in subsequent runs, but I'm anal about it the first time through.
The fire team missions are a different kettle of fish since they're dedicated group content, so I group up for those, but nothing in the story missions so far leads me to believe that doing them coop is the intended or better way of doing them. It's an option sure, but they're just as viable solo.

So sure I do get that maybe it's the "majority" but is it to hard to make a good single player/co-op combo so you can just have a full on single player mission then if you choose to go play with friends.
Now as to Destiny; all I've read is about co-op play on this. Is single player ok? Is it enough to keep you engaged for a while?

As mentioned I haven't felt the need to have a friend with me outside the Fireteam missions (Dungeons)

1. When I first bought fallout 3. I like to actually ignore the main quest. I do this because I like to explore the whole world and find all the secret weapons and cool parts. I do this in the elder scrolls games as well. I can be level 20 before I actually go and find the NPC who starts the main quest.
So my younger bro wants a go - yeah sure, I tell him, go for it.
I go to work and come back 8 hours later to find him talking to my NPC 'father' in the EDEN scene at the very end. He's simply ploughed through the main quests and ignored the rest of the world (doable in around 6-7 hours if you really push).
Still enjoyed the game but was a bit soured by it.
2. Movie previews - like games these days (movies are worse IMO) the preview tends to ruin the movie. I try to never watch them. This is in contrast to my friend who always watches them. I think they ruin the movie. The end result is I end up watching a LOT of REALLY bad movies.
The previews are almost like the other players. Sometimes it's handy - expecially if it's a PVP centric game to learn some tricks early on. In games with a rich campaign, you sometimes like to figure it out on your own, even if it's ridiculously frustrating.
The end message here is - we're not slaves to online reviews - we don't need to read them or team up with other players. Just play the game at your own pace and try to put blinkers on when dealing with other people.
I think the shame is not many games are coming out these days when you get that feeling of wanting to learn and explore!

I enjoy the read here and all the comments. Thing is, what actually separates it from the pack?

Movie previews are 2 mins of a 120min+ movie, but I see your point while movie trailers for me personally don't ruin the movie I like seeing a movie without knowing anything about it makes it alot more enjoyable.
Tvcars you have a PS4 what hardware do you need to upgrade to play Destiny? It isn't on PC
Destiny is MMOFPS so think of WoW in a FPS form, you level unlock skills, get gear, do fireteam missions called strikes (Instances/Raids) and PVP. Personally for me the game just flows really well and I'm really enjoying it found it hard to put it down over the weekend, hit level 20 and finished the campaign missions so now I need to work on my gear to be able to do Raids (6 Player Strike MIssions)

I'm also a very solo orientated casual gamer, it does suck that so many things are MMO or multiplayer focused these days.

He didn't use my save game!! He started from the start and overtook my progress in a day!

I wouldn't say taking your time with this game is necessarily a good idea, simple because you WILL be playing the same quests over and over and over if you want to get the most out of this game. Taking your time will likely lead to boredom and frustration.
