Where is this? I'd like to find it myself.
Just got up to 165 defense.
Asking where it is doesn't sound much like you want to find it yourself ;P
After playing a good chunk of this alpha, across all classes, i have to say i'm really like it it. It isn't the genre defining experience some are claiming it to be, and it certainly doesn't really push the boundaries much, but it's a nice FPS that combined halo's gunplay with borderlands structure. And i love it and can't wait for the final release. Even the PVP which i'm not a huge fan of usually is fun to play. It's a very safe and familiar experience but a good one. And at the end of the day it gives playstation fans a means to play halo's multiplayer on a sony system.
What i don't like though are the spongy bosses which aren't very challenging but are very long winded. Nothing says tedious like shooting something with 8 million bullets from all angles for 30 minutes (exaggeration) and that's with a team of alpha maxed players, with good weapons and focusing on weakspots. And then on top of that the bosses do something i absolutely hate...random mob spawns. I understand why they're there, to combat the games ammo system and counteract the loss of ammo that the boss is absorbing. Doesn't make it any less cheap though. So i'm hoping those will get tweaked. Maybe more attack patterns but a smaller health bar?
I also don't like the spawn rate of enemies. I understand they'll eventually need to return for the sake of the grind. But it feels like your actions have no real impact on the world at all. Essentially it's the far cry 2 respawning checkpoints only it's happening for every single openworld encounter you ever have. I've literally ran around a crate 3 ft away and the enemies had respawned. Kinda stupid imo.
And finally. The voice acting. I'm really digging the world of destiny, and the races and the tower, and i was hoping for something along the lines of halo in regards to story, script and voice work. But so far i'm massively disappointed in that area. And it's not just dinklages second rate performance, it goes all the way to the PVP announcer who sounds so bored, it makes the match your playing seems infinitely less interesting. I can only hope we're hearing placeholder work, or stuff that hasn't been filtered and tweaked because i was expecting destiny to be borderlands with a great story and voice acting and after the samples from the alpha, i'm not sure i'll be getting that.
