Okay so that is a whole lot of information, let me tell you first hand what I love. I got this game for my oldest son, my youngest is 6 and the game is to advance for him. My oldest though loves it. So you start the game off by making your guy, now you don't make him from scratch but you are able to pick some features and the colors. That way he (or she) is personalized by you. Then you start the game by yourself, when you first start you can't play with anyone else. It really is just you, my son liked this though because he was able to mess around and figured out his moves and features. After you reach a certain location you unlock multi player play. He was then able to play with his friends and unlock even more of the game. I myself am really impressed with the graphics, at one point in time I walked in on the couch and though I was watching a tv show with him, it wasn't until he talked into his headset that I realized it was his game!! So a huge thumbs up not only for the graphics, but also for the epic story line as well.
The fun doesn't end here though, if you get the Destiny 2 Collector's Edition you get some pretty awesome gear, but physical gear and digital. I'm a cheapo, but even I think all the awesome stuff that comes in the Collector's Edition is def worth the extra bucks
