Grabbed that one, thank you!

[Cerveza mas fina]

Thanks G but apparently it needs to be a 9 digit code for the EU

Thanks G but apparently it needs to be a 9 digit code for the EU

Take a look at that pm more closely as I did make sure to identify it was for the Americas. You can create an account and still use that code. But if thats too much work I'm sure someone here could use it in your place.

I'll have a few more PS4/PS3 and I'll be getting several Xbox1/360 codes when they send them.

[fistfulofmetal]

I have 3 more codes for PS4

[Cerveza mas fina]

Ok guys I got a code for the PS3 (us) up for grabs (sorry G for the confusion)

I went and pre ordered the PS3  (eu) version so I got one extra code too!

Send me an XBO code, Bz

[The Legend of Sunblade]

Got sent a spare PS4 and PS3 code for Destiny despite already being in the PS3 beta. Already used the PS4 code for myself, so I've got a spare PS3 code for whoever wants it.

[Cerveza mas fina]

This game is real good damn

[demi]

I'm just covering my bases, mane.

[Mupepe]

Understandable.

[Squiddy]

Did the Wizard come from the moon?

[AdmiralViscen]

Can someone PM me a PS4 NA code? I gave away all of mine and now a friend wants one.

[Eel O'Brian]

This is a really pretty game. I think my favorite class is Warlock, followed by Scout.  Titan seems to just be "uh, not Spartan, really" so far.

Yeah, check PMs.

[cool breeze]

This is a really pretty game. I think my favorite class is Warlock, followed by Scout.  Titan seems to just be "uh, not Spartan, really" so far.

yeah, I like the warlock.  at the early level the classes aren't that much different, but it seems like the distinction and specialization of classes, and sub-classes, is important at higher levels.  and from what I can tell the beta doesn't get into elemental damage much.
 
I'm regrettably leaning towards picking this up on consoles instead of waiting on the inevitable PC version.  the beta is really fun.  even the competitive multiplayer that I didn't enjoy in the alpha clicked with me.  just wish it'd stop putting me on that moon map.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Im not sure the pc version is inevitable for this one.

By the time it could come out everyone would be playing it on consoles already, and because I dont think the loot and chars carry over cross platform it would suck to start over again.

Im really tempted by the white ps4 destiny bundle now...

[Rahxephon91]

If anyone has a spare Destiny code on PS4...

I'd appreciate it.

[Quaker]

Still need one?  PM me.

[Stoney Mason]

Have two xbox one codes for beta if someone wants them.

Xbox one codes are being sent out now.

[Mupepe]

Demi and Quaker, check your pms. If you guys already got one from someone else let me know so I can give it to another person

[demi]

Thanks for the code Mupepe, I am downloading it now.

[demi]

Anyone have a PS3 code available? Thanks

[G The Resurrected]

Sent you a PS3 code demi

anyone need Xbox One codes?

[demi]

Oh god I am dancing. Why am I dancing. This game cost 50+ million.

[Stoney Mason]

Downloaded it. Got a corrupted error message as it was downloaded. Still let it finish. Tried to boot game. Got message that said unable to find fireteam and it wouldn't let me play.

 

Trying to re-download it again.

[Stoney Mason]

Played to about level 5 or 6.

It seems cool. Very cool in fact. Better than I would have expected as I was a bit skeptical.

It's exactly what you think it is. Borderlands wrapped up in a light mmo skin, with Halo style controls but the mix feels right. This is probably what a console mmo should feel and be like roughly. Not any of the stuff that has come out on consoles before as mmo's which are PC games jury rigged as console games.

Not sure about the depth or length of the game. Not sure if the competitive is worthwhile (I'm skeptical of that too) because of the nature of trying to scale these weapons in any way that makes real sense in that environment. I'll try it out tomorrow. But even as a single player or co-op game alone it seems worthwhile.

My complaints are relatively minor. The story kind of seems whatever but its a loot game so that is mitigated somewhat. And playing at 30 fps is disappointing at first but then I got over it after like 20 minutes and just forgot about it. Normal also seems a bit easy but then its normal I suppose. I'd want to play it on hard on the first playthrough if possible.

Optional stuff like this happening is cool also. Also I like the music in the game.

[Cerveza mas fina]

I think the game is extremely impressive so far.

Great blend of single player and multi, loot that seems to be worthwhile and not just by the numbers

[G The Resurrected]

Are beta keys of the Xbone out yet.

Yes they are, check your pm box.

[CatsCatsCats]

What about 360 f'd up my knee, would be a good day to play around with this

[G The Resurrected]

None for 360 yet over here sadly.

[Mupepe]

I didn't get a chance to play last night.  I only downloaded it.  I'll be on tonight

[Stoney Mason]

I tried the competitive multiplayer this morning.

 

I can safely say I don't like that part of the game as much as the main campaign. Not that it isn't a bit of mindless fun but its not what I'm looking for.

I don't like the fast time to kills in that mode. What made halo cool was that the battles were an extended dance. Even up until the current one, the one on one engagements were an extended affair compared to this. The times to kill in cod are super fast also but that game has the tight controls to back it up. This game is kind of begging for longer battles on the multiplayer side imo. I also like how halo prioritized weapons like DMR's and semi-auto rifles and burst firing. This game is all about the auto rifles. Which once again is fine in something like COD I guess but I kind of want something different in a game like this that has the potential to have a deeper combat system. I also don't like how supers function in the multiplayer.

This is all opinion stuff. I don't think any of the things I mentioned might bother some other people. But for me it makes it less fun than I would have hoped for after really enjoying the campaign stuff. Whatever. 

I still think the campaign part and co-op parts have a lot of potential. And I think the competitive might be a fun time waster in some cases but not necessarily anything that would replace the multiplayer games I already prefer.
 

[nachobro]

Got in on 360, guess I'll give it a shot. 

[Cerveza mas fina]

I always thought halo mp was boring floaty and meh, this is much more my speed. Like halo and cod mixed.

Think they do need tl tweak that semi auto rifle a bit before launch, but we havent seen any other maps yet beside the two

[Mupepe]

After starting it up mine is stuck on 47% "transferring game content"

its not moving. I'm on xb1 so if I uninstall it and try to redownload/install it am I gonna have any issues since you can't just grab it off the marketplace?

You shouldn't have an issue redownloading it.

Anyone have a spare 360 code?

Be happy to trade a torrent day invite for a 360 code

I feel the same way, to the point that I may not buy this game now since I generally prefer multiplayer over campaign stuff.  Keeping pre-order for the time being.

[Cerveza mas fina]

I think it's really early to make those calls guys.

Especially since his is the tiniest slice of the game and only 1 MP mode, also factor in the leveling of your char which in some modes will definately prolong his or her life etc. There are so many aspects of the end game (as this is an mmo) that we don't know it's hard to say that this low level shootfest will looks the same across all playmodes and levels.

[Human Snorenado]

Here's a potentially dumb question- if I get this for PS3, will I be able to play with PS4 owners over PSN? I'm all up for PVE stuff with a small fire team, that seems fun. PVP as ever can go fuck itself in the ear.

[Stoney Mason]

definitely don't think it holds up compared to more competitive focused games.  I think what destiny does well is make the single player, co-op, and competitive all feel like the same experience.  so while you might not sit down and play round after round of it, it's set up in a way that you can jump in for a round between co-op missions.

it took me a few games to "like" the competitive multiplayer.  and personally I haven't had any trouble using the scout rifle.  though 9/10 times I puts me on that moon level that's better for mid to long range combat.

[Stoney Mason]

The game gives a great first impression. There is no doubt about that. The more I play,  I see things that might bother me or aren't ideal. Or compromises that had to be made because the game was cross gen. I say none of this to diss the game. It's a cool game. And almost certainly I will buy it.

[Human Snorenado]

I'm on the fence. I'm gonna get it, I just would rather play it on a next gen system, so I'm waffling over whether I want to bite the bullet and just buy a PS4 for it, and, you know, to have a PS4 and shit. It has to get good games eventually, right?

[demi]

PVP is stupid and gay in any game. I only played some of the intro and danced in the hub world then I shut it off. I'll probably just buy it out of launch hype.

[Stoney Mason]

I was curious so I leveled up a Titan. His super in multiplayer is stupid. You don't even have to be close to people to get the kill. That's the kind of stuff that makes the mp less than ideal.

The problem is you can run into a string of deaths that feel like Call of Duty deaths. Hit by a super. Hit by a rocket launcher. I don't like throwing away my lives in situations that I feel are very unpredictable.

[cool breeze]

I haven't figured out the super business. I see some players using them three or four times in a game and don't know how they refill that quickly.  rocket launcher and power weapons are better balanced by limiting the ammo.

I think bungie said you can transfer you character progress from console to console (or maybe just ps3 to ps4 or 360 to xb1), so there's that.  but you'll still need to buy the game twice, sell the ps3 copy for $.05 at gamestop.

[Stoney Mason]

I haven't figured out the super business. I see some players using them three or four times in a game and don't know how they refill that quickly.  rocket launcher and power weapons are better balanced by limiting the ammo.

Supers start on a default timer and then that timer refills faster by getting kills (or by capturing objectives I assume). Also when somebody does a super on your team and kills somebody, orbs of light come out. If you collect those your supers also come back faster.

Lots of games have variants of this type of system. Titfanfall essentially works in the same way in how fast you can get your titan. There is just something slightly more annoying about it here because the supers are so powerful and its not like you know they have them sometimes when you turn a corner and just run into somebody.

Also we are missing some of the defensive supers like bubble shield and such so the beta is currently tilted very much towards the offensive side so maybe this will be less of an issue in the full game. I understand they wanted continuity between the PvE and the PvP but the superpowers remind me a bit too much of powerful killstreaks which eventually turned me off of COD to a degree.

Downloading

[Quaker]

By any chance does anyone have 2 PS4 beta codes on them? My brothers really want to try it and I'll appreciate it.

It's open beta now so they just have to download it from the PSN store.

[CatsCatsCats]

Yo this game is for me
