I played about 15 mins playing before the ball game. Stuck watching the game and can't stop thinking about how much fun those 15 mins were. I'm going to be playing all damn night.

I NEED TO CHECK ALL THE CAVES!!!!! My partner looked at me like I had shit a fish. No dice.

 

[todd360]

Movement definitely feels like Halo. The multiplayer is just not fun. The campaign is alright but I'm sure it will be better with friends.

I won like 3-4 matches in a row and loved every second of it. I was dominating when I got heavy ammo.

 

[ComputerBlue]

I got a code: downloading now. Any tips on what to expect?

Expect to have a lot of fun.

 

[Sharpshot]

It's fun, but my god... What is that field of view? 70 degrees? Feels terrible.

 

[GraveRobberX]

So exploring first starting area, keep hear this racket coming from underground

Three ??? Knights baiting me, I'm like Ka-Pow bitches!, do 1 damage, dude with huge broadsword thwacks me to oblivion with 1 hit

Well played Bungie, NM's roaming low level areas lol

 

[Agentnibs]

Shout out to silence and mr.potts, had a really fun time until my headset suddenly stopped working and then getting disconnected. Gonna watch the finals now, might get on later if y'all still want to play

Expect to shoot things with a gun.

They're not "roaming" low level areas. If you see ??? they're in a specific area. Which means you to hightail it outta there.

 

[antitrop]

Been playing for 3 hours straight. Pre-ordering is absolutely something that I will doing very soon.

 

[Mr. Waffle]

It's fun, but my god... What is that field of view? 70 degrees? Feels terrible.

Great is it going to make me motion sick... hope not.

 

[Fahrenheit]

I hope they plan to do more plot stuff in the final game. If its just quest dialog like they have now i'm gonna be bummed

 

[ElRenoRaven]

To those asking yes I'm approving people periodically here. In about 2 hours though I'll be going to bed and any after that will have to wait till I wake up in the morning.

 

[Darryl M R]

My download is taking forever. It has been 2 hours and I am only at 28%.

Go to the bathroom now. Once you start playing, you will not want to stop. And be cool and roll a Hunter! Also, you might want to increase your sensitivity. Default feels sluggish.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

If more people got to play what I just played they would realize why this could easily be GOTY.

Of course! There's one story mission in the Alpha and that's it. Free-roam is free-roam.

 

[InFamousRaiden]

I think frame rate for the most part was less than 30. NO need to panic yet as its just an alpha build.


May be its just me because for the last week and a half I been PC Gaming with sweet ass 60 fps.

 

[Megasoum]

So is the special move the only difference between the 3 classes?

 

[Schweinehund]

Checked my email, lo and behold.

Going to have to download overnight. This connection .

 

[Ocelott]

Anyones Downloading Taking dumb long... mines went from an Hour to 9 hours...Ran a Speed Test 34 down and 9 up

 

[Badlucktroll]

Its OK. Played it all day! I took some screenies with the share button:

 

[Fahrenheit]

I still gotta do that mission lol.

 

[SolidSnakex]

I must be missing something, but how do you accept invitations? I keep getting them from different people but every time I go to roster and then click on their name the "Join Fireteam" button is grayed out and mentions that Fireteams are set to friends only (mine is public).

 

[The Librarian]

The way they jump, Hunters can throw a knife...some stuff. There are certain abilities.

 

[Gray Matter]

Go to the bathroom now. Once you start playing, you will not want to stop. And be cool and roll a Hunter! Also, you might want to increase your sensitivity. Default feels sluggish.

I'll make sure to have the bladder empty. Looking forward to playing. One question: can we invite friends who have the alpha?

 

[Alucrid]

this game is so good

went into my first pvp match to this

 

[grimmiq]

Really like how I'm actually feeling a bit giddy when I find new weapons and can't wait to get back to the tower to identify them..And I think I understand why I was getting destroyed in MP ;p Found a higher level version of the same weapon I was using, 40 extra damage on it.

 

[breakfuss]

lol yeah i have no idea how co-op/matchmaking is working in this but I just grouped with some people in what appeared to be a randomized event. so online is persistent, then? So someone can join my mission at anytime?

 

[DidntKnowJack]

Lots of fun. Just wish there were more solo missions. I played a couple co-op with strangers, but they'd either go off on their own or keep dying so we'd fail the mission and have to keep re-loading the last check point. Oh well, still had fun with this thing, I imagine the beta will be meatier than this.

If you're like me , a loooooooooong wait.

My PS4 is plugged in via Ethernet with a 40Mbps connection and it's taking forever.

I think there are co-op areas, they described it as you enter an area and you may see more people and/or an event starting. You can then choose to stick around for the event and do some co-op gaming, or continue on with your original objective solo, exiting the co-op area.

 

[Neffarias_Bredd]

I've had problems with fios blocking certain games from downloading before, think that could be why its so slow? Or is it just a block up cause so many people are downloading

 

[meanspartan]

Still need to see more, but after 3 hours co op with a friend (we did starter mission, pvp, and some open world questing), i have a very very good first impression. Cant wait to try the strike tomorrow! Can we do that with 2 people? (It says 1-3 players)

 

[SlenderBeans]

I feel so alone so far. Haven't seen a single person outside the crucible.

I take that back. I see some at the Tower now. Yay.

 

[Darryl M R]

29%, 2 hours and 14 minutes. I'm going on a flight tomorrow evening after work to visit my SO while she's at her summer intern. . I can possibly get 1 hour of play time tomorrow if this takes all night to download. Sigh.

That sucks, my speed is 10x slower than that (

 

[Experien]

Guess I'm going to pass on this mess cause Sony?

Started the DL 5 hours ago and I still have 2GB left? It said 3 hours left and I guess I was stupid enoug to restart my PS4 and now the timer is racing up past 28 hours to complete.

Bravo job!

 

[GodParticle]

Ended up with a code. Let's do this!

I don't know why some people have so much trouble. I was getting 4MB/s+ and it finished in an hour.

 

[HowZatOZ]

Has anyone tried plugging a keyboard/mouse in? Have any PS4 games supported other control schemes yet?

 

[Jburton]

I don't know why some people have so much trouble. I was getting 4MB/s+ and it finished in an hour.

Had mine down in less than an hour, flew down.

People blaming Sony might be looking in the wrong places, I downloaded mine from the same source, through the same Playstation network with zero issues.

 

[super-famicom]

If you mean party up in game, then yes. When you're in orbit (your ship is in space and you can choose what mission to take on) you can send invites and form a 3 man party. The game starts you on the ground and you have a mission to complete before you can go into orbit.

 

[Incandenza]

I totally did not know until I clicked on The Crucible that this game had Halo-style multiplayer. Holy shit! Interest doubled.

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

The user interface is so freaking clean. As a designer, I'm having a blast.

 

[molnizzle]

Been playing for about an hour, still have no idea what is going on.

Graphics are pretty bad too. Damn...

 

[ComputerMKII]

I'm still at the character customization screen. The character models and the UI are incredible. My hype levels are rising. What a gorgeous game!

 

[antitrop]

The problem with me enjoying this so much is that I went from not caring about it at all to now having to join everyone else in the long wait for September 9.

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

well who else is there to blame, its a number of us with the same problem

before I downloaded destiny, I downloaded trine 2 SUPER quick.

and im fios getting 50/50. its not like I have slow internet.

lol what?

 

[TimeEffect]

I feel that ADS really hurts this game. Hipfire needs to be a lot more accurate IMO... It's really clumsy trying to jump like Halo and then have to ADS while getting your kills. It's just a wrong combo IMO, and I feel that the MP would be more enjoyable if that was adjusted.

Enjoying the game though.
