Really wish PS4's 'last 15 minute' feature for videos would work... missed out on some awesome moments
I missed a really crazy Sparrow rush to a public event yesterday. I only managed to save the last 20 seconds :/
This game is awesome. I've never been a great multiplayer player (redundant I'm sure). And my .5 kill to death ratio I think illustrates that well. However I still have an incredible time playing this game to the point where i'm gonna play some more matches before it goes offline. Thanks Bungie. I'll be buying your game in September, Peter Dinklage's voice acting and all.
There's a PvP vendor in the tower that sells lv 20 Crucible armor with stats so you gotta figure that there's probably low ranked PvP with armor sync and high ranked PvP where stats matter like most MMORPG's.
Bungie must be pretty thrilled with the impressions:
There was a heap of negativity about this game on this forum (me included), but the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Gonna really miss playing this.
That's awesome. I'm so glad that the general reception to the game has changed for the better. I always believed it would be great, but I would be lying if I didn't at times feel discouraged by the footage and slow trickle of information. I just feel like I have such a better sense of how the game will actually be, and it's really fantastic.
I'm so excited to visit the other planets! I'm also hyped to play stuff from the moon because the little snippet of it from the PvP level looks fantastic.
Guys. Explore on every planet/the moon. That is such an exciting prospect.

some of these screens are goooooorgeous. how's the gunplay in this game? it's hard to find shooters on consoles that control as well as games like battlefield, cod, and titanfall. I've tried playing warface, counterstrike go, far cry 2, and they just don't feel good to play.

I don't think they want to show too much - i would think one more mode and one more map on top of what was in alpha.
Crucible marks (the token currency) were gained apparently through "high-levelled" PVP matches which suggests that there is going to be a serperate playlist/mode for people at level cap/gear cap.
It's some of the best shooting on consoles. Just really tight and responsive.
Really love the game so far, and there's so much more to discover/experience.
Bottom line for me: I played for an hour today with two of my little brothers and half way through the Devil's Lair one of them said "this is the most fun I've had in a game in years". Couldn't agree more.

eh, I wouldn't go that far. Aim assist is wayyyyy too high. They need to cut it down like 50%.
Just my opinion. I agree they should have an option to turn aim assist down/off.

Logging out for now. See you guys in September!
I think I'm going to skip the summer beta because I can't deal with losing three more characters' progress.

Where the fuck was that?
And I'm off! Was good, will pre-order for beta, hopeful to see some improvements.
Here's my farewell:
That's a great shot.

I'm assuming this is what you find if you run past the "??" enemies under Old Russia?
Anybody else kill this guy?
But isn't that all just a skybox? You can't actually go down there into that city, can you? As beautiful as it looks, knowing it's... "fake"... means i can't enjoy these images as much as i would like to.

That was one of the missions, killed him easily.

The Traveler and the sky are a really high-res skybox, but the city underneath is partially rendered.

Yeah, I killed him. It was part of one of these small quests you can pick up in exploration.

Yep, same here. It was great to read everybody's impressions, look at the screen shots and watch some video so thanks to everybody for sharing.
I can't wait for the beta next month.
Was just a random Explore mission, and yeah it was pretty easy. Looked neat though.

Oo I gotta get in on this farewell thing. If it'd upload.
Anybody else kill this guy?
Yes, he's one of the quests in explore mode. Scared me because of how tall he was.
Ah, i see. Would be cool to be able to actually go down there. That would impress me.

Isn't that the guy in the very first E3 demo laser year? And yeah if so I did kill him. Not really that hard

You can find some in long caves. There's a cave exploration quest
Anybody else kill this guy?
Where did you find the mission for him? I've been looking for it for most of the day.

Well, maybe some more of these doors are open:
I've seen a lot of these entrances that were black with some fog in it.
Right about 7:30 CST i started seeing guys in my game at level !, i have to assume that was Bungie team folks coming to play with us

The city underneath is pretty low-poly, so you don't get there directly from the Tower, but supposedly we do end up going down there as its own zone? I think?

Those black doors are spawn hives AFAIK

In the lv6 strike mission enter on foot instead of taking the mission or going to the coast path to the right, I you only deals 1 damage with normal weapons
Anybody else kill this guy?
I was surprised to find this mission yesterday. It's in the area where the random event occurs with the enemy that has six legs. Don't remember the area name
Another neat thing I found was an event where these big black ships creep in out of nowhere and drop dudes while you stay in this small area to defend.
I never saw ?? enemies but I found lvl 11 enemies in a cave near the beach and all my attacks did 1 damage -_-
Hope that's a setting for the alpha, because I want to be able to try and take on high level enemies for some extra challenge -- 1 dmg is bullshit.
