Forbes: Right around the time of the beta, there was a lot of fuss being made that Destiny seemed like it wasn’t shaping up to be as “epic” in scope as many believed. Some fans had visions in their head of a whole galaxy full of planets to explore, and instead they were told they’d have four or five worlds with one exploration zone each.
But now that the game has arrived, it’s time to officially declare it “big enough.” In the end, the map only revealed four planets with one explorable zone each (including the inexplicable appearance of “The Reef” which just sits there as an empty zone), but these areas are so huge, Destiny certainly feels like a pretty enormous game, in terms of total square footage.
Yet, Destiny still suffers from a pervasive issue despite its sprawling maps and endlessly twisting tunnels. The problem isn’t size, it’s what’s contained in the world itself. And unfortunately, it isn’t much.

Phil Spencer talks candidly about missing out on both Destiny and Guitar Hero
So you're saying that Microsoft has missed out on so many huge gaming franchise in the last 25 years from GTA exclusivity to guitar hero and destiny it's just laughable they had so many misses
Best deal deal in gaming must be when Sony bought Insomniac for 229 million dollars. They made over 800 millions on Spiderman for the ps4 alone. Thats just crazy!
another Interview?
how is he the only one who loves the spotlight as much as he does lol
Let's not forget he also famously passed on Spider-man, Genshin Impact and GTA3.
However it's almost kind of cute how he can keep that sh1t-eating grin and say he's a 'no regrets' kind of guy, especially when you think how much just these 5 titles could have swung the world in Xbox's favour instead of Sonys.
How he's kept his job I don't know, he must sure be keeping Papa Nadella's shaft warm somehow.
"But, but Gamepass, he introduced that!!!"
Yes he did, and now look at Xbox, all it's exclusives are coming to Playstation now rendering the platform obsolete.
Titanfall: overhyped. Watch Dogs: OVERHYPED! Destiny: MOAR OVERHYPED!!!
Dear Forbes...shut up. It isn't that you are never right, merely when you are it is the result of luck and happenstance rather than insight. The other 99% of the time your deductions are pure trash.
No it just really is too small. 4 planets and all of them combined is smaller then like tenth the size of skyrim. And skyrim doesn't have jet boards to travel supper fast. Making the map even appear smaller
Zero NPC and zero story. Should have been a mix of skyrim, borderlands, and Halo with a greater emphasis on mutliplayer.
The gun play is good but not so good that it can exist devoid of everything else that makes a good game.
One side quest in Skyrim told a vastly more interesting story than the entire game in Destiny. Both have rather repetitive gameplay, with levelling but Skyrim made it fun at least. At least if you went off exploring something interesting generally happened. There no reward for exploration in this game.
Borderlands enemies and bosses required more varied tactics. And as an MMO this would be the worst MMO released ever. Zero communication, no boss strategy, no class based strategy.
I am so disappointed in Bungie. I can't believe they released this.
And also small
