26 is just minimum. Chances are you should be at least 28, possibly higher - I think the true max is 30

The Raid actually has more unique gameplay and mission events than the entirety of the game.

Using shields to cleanse "the void" - requiring teamwork to run the portals... platforming segments (??)

Why was this actual gameplay locked behind such a high wall?

Yeah most of those unique things dont require a raid, this is real dumb

Why doesnt the normal game have platforming, puzzles, bike races

That Crota bit had me hoping game would open up

So you don't trade it in after 20 hours.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #183 on:** September 16, 2014, 01:49:05 PM »

Im at 14 hours now, lvl 20, would sell it if my friend had t bought it to play with me. Now ill prob keep it for mp and strikes.

Design content with intention of being challenging and progression based then watch people ask for an easy version less than twenty fours after it's out brehs. Gaming in 2014.

Cant say difficulty is my issue. I love the grind. Just wish the actual game to grind in was more fun to play.

demi · « **Reply #187 on:** September 16, 2014, 02:03:44 PM »

Also from the sounds of things, difficulty has no effect on loot drops at all.

Literally everyone is complaining that the raid is too hard or that the item level requirement is too high.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #190 on:** September 16, 2014, 02:06:23 PM »

The latter isn't asking for easy mode, it's asking for earlier access to gameplay variety. The former isn't happening here.

The two teams that beat the Raid so far had the game crash or glitch. They didnt even get to technically finish and get their loot. Lol.

Yeah I was watching when somebody beat it and saw the same thing. Pretty funny. On one hand I've been on the shipping end of embarrassing bugs so I can understand that part of it but at the same time c'mon. How does something like that happen with the resources at their disposal.

Beat the "campaign", last mission was pretty cool. All story missions took 7 hours. Think there were 4/5 cutscenes in total. Story so barebones I didnt feel any victory besides beating the last "boss" I use this term lightly because it was nothing amazing. Good fight though.

Now time for some mp stuffs.

I'm imagining they planned on a 9-10 score and then saw the other reviews and decided to delay it to still give it a somewhat decent score not to look bad, while using the excuse of playing through the entire game.

I'm probably feeling crazy, but if there's anything going on regarding moneyhats with Destiny, I imagine it to be Microsoft spending money to spread negative public awareness for this release.

I'm genuinely surprised by the game's lack of content, incoherent story, and mediocre gameplay. It's like Bizarro Bungie made this. I know I'm weeks late to this realization, but I'm genuinely surprised that with the insane budget and talent they fail to even match the quality of Borderlands. A game that came out 5 years ago.

I know most of the money Activision dropped on this was spent on advertising and talent doesn't mean much under poor management and direction, but it's still genuinely shocking for me.

The December pack will have story. It's all Hive related. The "Queen's Wrath" event coming up is just bounties, probably.

I started to quickly hate this game playing myself. All the missions are like the same thing. I started playing with some friends, and it's a lot more enjoyable, but still probably meh compared to other similar games.

The cave is getting more publicity than the game itself

The same can be said of the game’s famed level 26 Raid, what high level players are supposed to be doing to acquire new and amazing gear. If that’s the case, then why do I see so many level 26+ players at the repetitive loot cave when they should be taking on the most challenging, diverse content the game has to offer?

Right now the Raid is essentially a wall for many players who don’t want to go through the trouble to assemble a group of five friends or strangers to try and attempt the challenge. Even if they are the proper level for the activity, the Raid is either too daunting from an organizational or a difficulty perspective, whereas the loot cave is a two minute drive and an endless fountain of gear.

I thought these were shitty until I shopped ADSing them and started hip-firing them and treating them like a sci-fi shotgun slug that you need to charge.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #238 on:** September 23, 2014, 06:14:56 PM »

The percentage of people that were ever going to do something like that was always so low as to be virtually useless imo.

Spend time on content that most of your audience will actually see. Not the 1% hardest of the hardcore of your audience. So much of destiny makes little sense from a design and audience perspective.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #239 on:** September 23, 2014, 10:05:02 PM »

I'm lucky enough to play games with 3 IRL friends and the odds of us completing a raid are near 0. One guy hasn't even broken the shrink wrap yet.

Which in a way doesn't matter since can't all play together at once anyway. Unless we are in a raid.
