Destiny Beta Now Open For Everyone

Reminder later today you can visit the moon for 2 hours

So far I've just done PvE stuff but I'm really enjoying it so far. Feels very Halo, in a good way. Headshots with a semi auto all day

[toku]

Yeah scout rifle all day. PvP is a bit laggy to use anything but an auto rifle though.

Moon mission was short but you get a damn good weapon as a reward for it.

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.

If not I'm playing the free beta...why I am going to spend $60+ on the retail version?

I did the moon mission and I didn't get anything.

Take the dead ghost to the speaker at the tower. He will give you a writ to take to the armory.

I like the PVE but the PVP suffers from the same shit I hate about MMOs, randomness and no equalization.

I played the beta alot. Leveled up three classes to see them. Played a decent amount of the PvP to try to really like it and overcome my initial distaste of it.

I don't know. I think it will be a good game. I'm just not sure its for me. I think I will get bored with the PvE quicker than most people because grinding only goes so far for me and the multiplayer just doesn't do it for me. I think there is a lot to like here potentially. It's just how much content will the final game have. Like I said, earlier the game makes a great first impression. The first hour or so you play its like wow. You kinda feel like every game should be this way and are a bit blown away. And then the more you play the more you see some of the limitations. Like at first I was like this makes the Halo franchise seem stupid and limited and archaic. And then by the end of the beta I kinda wanted to play some halo multiplayer because it made me remember why I use to like that and what is kind of missing here. It's weird like that.

Not sure if I will get it at launch. But It's one of those games that I totally could see other people legit loving for legit reasons. Maybe just not for me.

Honestly you might be getting old, I can't only do so much gaming these days and if my pals aren't on it's even more tedious. MMOs I can barely tolerate for their "get this get this, you're behind now" factor.

The thing is I think the mmo aspects are the coolest bits in destiny. In fact I found myself wishing it went deeper down that rabbit hole the more I played. Because while I'm generally not a fan of traditional MMO's, I understand that the appeal is this massive experience those games seem to promise. But the more I played the more I became worried that this wasn't really that big an mmo experience as I was expecting. Like PvP stuff I can get over. I can even probably make myself play that part of it even though I would never love it. But then part of me kind of thought how many times will I really want to end up running this campaign. How many strikezones missions will be in this. How much content will there be to make me play it after the initial burst of new game energy is depleted. For me I think it would be best to wait to see other people get it and then if all you guys are like whoa there is a ton of content here then I would probably jump in.

but yeah as I get older I do need a bit of variety. I'm not going to grind 5 strike missions over and over dozens of times just to get uber loot. The gameplay needs to stand on its own for me.

[Shadow Mod]

I really hate the ps controller shit.

[Bebpo]

Tried this out and liked it.  Nice art, music, gunplay.  Hopefully it's doable single player without too much of a grind.  Playing with randoms...lol, yeah the first mission I tried there were two other players and they went off in the opposite direction of the waypoint and I ended up solo-ing the whole mission.

Unless you are in a fireteam, you will always solo the missions. The players in the overworld don't continue with you into the dungeon portion of the missions. Those are instanced.

Only the strike mission auto groups you with a party.

Anyone have a spare 360 code?

Isn't this on everyone's main Dashboard at this point? It's just there as an ad at boot-up.

[Shadow Mod]

I get pretty annoyed with multiplayer design.

Like if you're going to have a modified upgradable grenade on cool down why not have a default grenade so people can still flesh out campers.

Also why spawn people out in the open on maps like the moon where people can just camp that shit with vehicles or run you over the minute you're trying to get towards a building.

Why is the radar solo in the left hand corner where there is no other reason to look and it's far away from my line of sight.

Why isn't there a better indicator to tell what direction you're being shot from.

Supercharged nonsense means more random killed in one second crap on top of power weapons and being knifed.

Who designs this crap,
