A couple of random comments:
I sacrificed a night of sleep to play some Destiny and got to the sword part. No spoilers, just want to say that is a pleasant surprise
Regarding some things too complex to figure out: IMHO it is not a big deal. Why? Because the game is meant to be played at whatever pace the player wants it to be, with bite sized story missions for solo (and coop) and bite sized stike missions for coop with friends or through matchmaking. The core game play can be picked up intuitively (I convinced my wife to try it this morning, whose only console games are Halo series. She picked it up easily without much outside help). If the gamer enjoyed that, he/she can just play the game for the core fun and figure out the rest of the stuff gradually. There is no urgency to have to figure them out.
On the flip side, if a gamer does not like the core game play after 1-2 hours of play time, the other "stuff" wont make the game suddenly enjoyable.
