Maybe I’m wrong, but everywhere I look, Destiny 2 is classified as a First Person Shooter. Not a MMO, Not a Looter-Shooter. Straight up fist person shooter.
Now we all know that in practice, the loot is the mechanic with which we advance light levels up to the season hard cap.
So to be fair, I’d call it a Shooter-trash-looter at best. Primarily because 97.5% of everything that drops is trash anyway and gets dismantled.
The loot construct is a myth. It’s not ‘loot’,…they’re ‘door-prizes’ at best.
It’s like a carnival,…step up, no waiting, $1 gets you three softballs to chuck downrange while you’re running strikes,…after you’ve throw all three you get a prize.
Loot,…what a joke. And it’s a Dad-joke at that, it makes you cringe more than laugh.

Destiny is absolutely an MMO, when you start talking stats, light level, farming pinnacle drops.. No this game is 100 percent an MMO Action RPG.

Okay.

Edited by Bore: 10/23/2021 7:13:15 PM[quote]Okay.[/quote] It’s also literally a looter shooter. The game focuses on loot and you shoot guns. That’s what a looter shooter is, lol. It’s also first person, so it’s a first person shooter(fps)

Destiny 2 is not primarily an FPS. That is just the interface with which we play this mmo-action-rpg. A game that is primarily an FPS has no "loot" it has "skins" cosmetic items that do not "drop" but are unlocked in a list of menus. COD, Battlefield, Fortnight...these are FPS games. Destiny is loot based, and while the gunplay does feel amazing and is arguably one of the best designed shooting systems available, that doesn't change the fact that the reason you play is to get loot or beat the boss with friends. You don't play just to be in 1st place like an FPS.
