Detstiny

Destiny

I swear i started a thread on this before but i cant find it. Anyhoo, anyone else hyped for this game?
I only really bagin to with the new E3 footage, the Exo race look awesome, deffiniately going Exo Titan when i get my xbox one copy.
The only thing that has put me off of it is the shitty borderlands style health bars above enemies and numbers flying all over the place on every hit. Really takes away from the immersion and makes it seem like a crappy arcade experience rather than a cinematic one.

Did you mistype the title on purpose?

It looks a bit too much like bullet sponge simulator 2014 but I'm probably still gonna get it

 

[Hewge]

So it's just yet another FPS?

 

[Esper Husky]

I'm a bit "wait and see" for this, but it's actually on my radar unlike over half the titles that got previewed at E3 thus far.

That said, it feels to me something like Halo + Borderlands, made by Bungie, so... I mean, if it's at all got the good parts of those series (and none of the above), then it should be great.

Or it will be terrible, and Activision is about to milk something terrible... but... I have some faith; it's at least not just a purely mindless FPS all over again... some other elements.

 

[Taralack]

Oh and Peter Dinklage is in it and he's your robot butler so that's awesome. Not jazzed by all the "omg look at our preorder bonuses" I just hope it doesn't become like Watch Dogs preorder spreadsheets

 

[john_shadowblade]

The only reason this game is so hyped is because Bungie is working on it. At this point they can make an MS paint game and it'll still make bank. So far from what I've seen this has nothing really special other than it looks pretty, and that drone thing you can use seems cool. However both of those could easily be prerecorded and beautified.

I just played the Alpha on my PS4 the other day and while I'm not sure if I can discuss anything yet I will say that it is a very good game with something to do for everyone, although I was only allowed to play up to lvl 8 there was still plenty to do. If I had to describe it I would say it's a cleaner less cartoony online version of Borderlands. You can go off on your own and play the story, just explore or run missions that are pretty much dungeons with difficult bosses that require teamwork and lots of ammo.

The hit numbers and bars are a huge turn off for me. My fave game, bf4, has health bars but thats only on your team if your playing in the assault class (medic) so it makes sense.

 

[Taralack]

After playing the alpha it's a safe bet that I'm gonna get a second PS4 to play this with my fiance, it's fucking awesome.

@batty this game is pretty much an MMO so having floating combat text and health bars is kind of par for the course. I just find it hilarious that they try as far as possible to avoid saying that word in their marketing.

Ah, I see. I play more Fps's so I'm a bit ignorant when it comes to mmo's.

 

[Taralack]

Did you play any Borderlands? From what I can remember of it, that game had floating combat text and health bars too

 

[Batty Krueger]

Yeah I played co op with a friend for a few days and it had that stuff flying all over, it was distracting thats for sure.

 

[Harbinger]

Can the floating text shit be turned off though?

 

[DrDingo]

I dunno about this new game you're on about, but in Borderlands all the floating numbers and health are sorta part of the charm of it all.
After all, Borderlands was made to be a little bit toony and over the top. Why do you think the creators used Cel-shading instead of going for realistic graphics? Haha.

 

[Taralack]

I doubt it. They could add it for launch though, who knows. I don't think all the options were there during alpha.

 

[Harbinger]

Thought there'd be more hype for this closer to release, anyone else feelin it?
I plan on making as many Guardians of the Galaxy moments as possible, starting with playing Come and get your love whilst soloing my first raid.
Still gonna go with the Exo titan class.

 

[Taralack]

There is definitely hype for this, but I doubt you're gonna find it here. The Destiny subreddit is frothing at the mouth waiting for this to come out, haha. (and so am I)

I was planning on having a couple more Destiny shirt designs up before release, but that kind of fell by the wayside due to some work crap and other life stuff. I do have a Titan shirt done though. https://www.teepublic.com/show/49618-titan

 

[Batty Krueger]

That looks good!
Just curious though, how much do you get per shirt if thats not rude to ask?

Anyway I'm still kinda stoked about the game, I've been looking into it for awhile now.

Not at all! I get $2 per shirt if it was sold on sale (at $14) or $4 if it's not on sale (at $20). Teepublic has the best royalties per shirt out of all the self publishing shirt sites, I highly recommend it for artists.

 

[Batty Krueger]

Oh thats not to bad!
They have some cool stuff thats for sure. Next paycheck is next Friday so I'll buy a few shirts, including that one.

 

[Fernin]

I'm waiting for the PC version in 2015. -_-

My store (and many others on that site) is actually on sale now so everything is $14! Just a heads up.

 

[Harbinger]

So im sat here waiting for my parents to finish on watching telly, then Destiny
Went to the midnight release, they did have special editions left, but PS4 only -_-

 

[Imperial Impact]

Perhaps, It was detstiny.

 

[Harbinger]

Well the main games pretty epic so far, tried the competetive side and holy shit is it dog shit.
Its kinda depressing how bad it is when you think these are the guys who made halo's multiplayer.
Everything thinks sluggish and slow but nothing matters, its just a race to see who can get their instant kill super charger the fastest which is bullshit. Hoping there's enough story content though.
