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.

No, they're not the same guys who made Halo's multiplayer. Most of those guys either went to 343i when it formed, or jumped ship when Acti bought Bungie out. There's less than a quarter of the main Halo team left at Bungie, and almost all of them are in the art and sound departments.

Couldn't give a crap about competitive PVP. My fiance seems to like it just fine though.

It's just too bad he couldn't get work off so we could play. I'm dying here...

 

[Harbinger]

Huh, i always thought it was the other way around and hardly anyone moved to 343i judging by how many people bitch about them in the same was as infinity ward/treyark rants, i think 343 are pretty good.
Moving furniture this morning, then back to grinding :3

This whole time I thought the thread title was actually spelled correctly!

I twas a type only i noticed it too late and couldnt edit it -_-
So played another chunk today, now level 10 out of 26 which doesnt seem a lot.
I waited 5 levels then tried multiplayer again and it was totally different, think you just need to get your gear and perks sorted before hand which is bollucks seeing as they throw you into PvP early on.

Oh and i highly reccomend browsing the Bungie forums, you will never see such gigantic fanboytard circle jerk fest anywhere on the internet. You say one, ONE extremely mild criticism and you get a page full of people denying you played the game and how it is the best game of all time. They're even calling each other Guardians

Another thing i did notice was that Bungie are still dicks. Friendly fire in Halo did nothing but cause trouble, so there isnt friendly fire at least in destiny, but you can run over your team mates in you sparrow, the crazy part? You cant run over enemies. Go full boost down the road into a stationary NPC or enemy player and it deals 0 damage and just pushes them out the way. Touch a team mate whilst boosting and they fly across the map dead, it even counts as their suicide and not you betraying so this is going to encourage trolling.

I honestly know little to nothing about this game. even screenshots and video's, I've rarely seen any of it, but I do plan on getting it soon, and people are telling me the MP is pretty awesome, so if anyone wants to add me, klanoa17

You're not exactly forced into it, sure you get the bounty early on but I pretty much just abandoned it right away.

I've actually gotten vehicle kills on enemies with the Sparrow, it takes a bit of finesse but it's not impossible.

 

[Harbinger]

Well sheeit, i only saw the green notification on Lord Shaxx and figured i had to try the crucible before anything else becomes available. And how?!
I was yelling at my xbox "XBOX RECORD THAT" to no avail, stopped working or something, kinect was on -_-
But i was trying to record, was a perfect run, max speed directly into either a stationary enemy or one actually moving towards the sparrow :/

And here's my gamertag if anyone wants to join me on the Xbone.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's just a breadcrumb quest to let people know HEY MULTIPLAYER IS A THING in case they don't know anything about the game.

It's got a lot to do with acceleration and the fancy braking, do you have the upgraded Sparrow that can do hairpin turns? The basic Sparrow you get from just playing the game can't do that.

 

[Harbinger]

I got the preordered one which was called "upgraded" but i figured it was just a cosmetic thing
Playing PVP now, its a lot better the higher your rank, but im noticing every game the opposing teams like double our levels. A current trend i've noticed is people running around as the hunter class i think, whichever one gets the one shot kill flaming gun which is BS.

Also just played a round with a shotgun clan apparently, all but one were using this charge shotgun, although it was better than the normal purple ones, it was orange, garunteed insta kill and charges real fast, and the other was using a normal shotgun which still insta killed every single time, fun times.

So i've just "completed" the "story" mode, single biggest joke in gaming history, for me at least.
That was abysmal, pathetic, beyond a joke...
I was just stunned that that was it, all the mystery built up around the game and the feel of exploration to find out and discover all the backstories, and you find nothing...
Whats the history of the exo's? of the fallen? of the awoken? the cabal? the vex? what the fuck is "the darkness?" and how come i never fucking saw it once?
What the fuck is the traveler?
Where'd it come from?
Who the hell was "the stranger"?
Who was she talking to? why do we see her for like 5 fucking seconds throughout the game?

Who, what, why, where, and when to absolutely fucking everything in the destiny universe?

I'll spoil the "ending" right here so ye be warned.

You beat a boss of the vex, Bill Nighy gives you a congrats, tells you fuck all else and the stranger says the typical "This is just the beginning, now fuck off and buy our DLC...".


It was just...i cant...just wow....
The strike missions are ok, the patrol missions are shit tier garbage, every single one of them is a different way of telling you to kill 10 of this or 10 of that. Wait im sorry there is the side mission where you have to LOOK at the enemy for 10 seconds (im not fucking joking).

At least there's the multiplayer i guess, but i brought the game hoping for a campaign experience to be the priority.
How can games like WoW go on for years and years when Destiny is over within a week...


Rant aside, i like the customization, visuals, and gameplay, everything else is just incredible to think that with so many resources poured in you get nothing...

Apparently the games truely being released in chunks, but im not buying into that crap, that along with them basically telling people not to listen to reviews is just too much BS to be taken seriously.

 

[Taralack]

The reason why WoW can go for so long is simple - gear grinds. Destiny has it too.

Ah, and was there truly ever any doubt Acti would fuck things up? They're using Bungie to develop their new cash cow. Instead of churning out a new CoD every year, you'll have to buy a $60 dollar Destiny expansion instead every 8 months or so. It's brilliant, don't you see? Loads of people buy the game thanks to Bungie hype, giving Acti a HUGE install base, and instead of just recycling the same game for ten years, they just make expansions for one they've already released! Minimal development cost, maximum profits! And since People already own the game, they'll have the whole "Well I might as well get this expansion since I have the game anyway..." mentality. It's brilliant really...

 

[Harbinger]

I dont see me buying any DLC or a sequel, but yeah i fucking hate bungie themselves so much, they have to be the most pretentious pricks in the entirety of gaming.
They barely release any footage for a hell of a while, instead just clips of them talking about their game as if its just cured cancer, aids, world hunger, and brought world piece all in one. Although knowing this i shouldnt have brought it, well, i guess its an ok game, not amazing, no where near as good as they were making it out to be. But i was at least expecting a decent game with something, not absolute zero.

 

[Harbinger]

DO NOT.
Play the credits...
The song's naff as hell, and unskippable...
Playing one last round today then trading it in, maybe it'll be worth getting again if they release a "GOTY" edition like a year later but untill then its not worth it.
