The rest of the time is spent exploring (only you can't in any type of satisfying manner because after 10 seconds you've got the pointless button pressing combat again) some terribly badly designed maps (on roughly the same tech and inspirational level as Horace Goes Skiing - seriously that lost world of dinosaurs game on the Spectrum 128K had way, way better level design), following a story line that is so shallow it
makes Jet
Set Willy look like story telling genius, buying weapons and
armour and levelling up which is all pointless because the combat is just so useless.

The
set itself actually has the same base resistance as the Soldier's
Armour set, at 4 defense per item, but it's the bonus effects that
make it stand out: Guardian Resist is a base effect applied to any item you're wearing, giving you a resitance to damage from all Guardians, whilst wearing a full
set will earn you the Ancient Proficiency
set bonus that also increases your damage with Ancient Weapons and Guardian Weapons.
It succeeded, and the first 20 - 30 hours of playing felt a lot more satisfying and fun to work through — Bungie haven't lost a step when it comes to
making a fun first person shooter — and then the grind
set in and players found the game wanting in terms of endgame longevity and the quest to unlock the best guns and
armour for your character, while the multiplayer stepped away from the simple fun of the original's 6v6 battles in favour of more focussed 4v4.
