Official Destiny Alpha Withdrawal Thread

Only played Warlock in the Alpha. Planning in only doing hunter for the Beta. Pretty cool that is an option. Gives me time to get to the know the classes well.
 
While nicely stated I couldn't disagree more. In-n-Out is amazing. Better than Fatburger and Wendys. Better than Five Guys. It's not a super high end burger but it is absolutely delicious. Double doubles all day! Need more protein? Four by Four!

Obviously one can't objectively argue subjective tastes, so I'll begrudgingly acknowledge your stance (<3). And I think whether something is considered upscale/gastro or low end doesn't factor into what can be delicious (and I realize you didn't state this, just merely elaborating based on your wordings' possible implication). After all, some of the tastiest burgers can be found at the most generic of greasy diners in the middle of no where. My point was that the mindshare In-N-Out burger garnered is something I don't understand. Since it is literally the go to spot to take out-of-towners for those living in SoCal (much like Five Guys is for those living in Seattle). A decent burger chain with a confusingly disproportionate high approval rating.

TL;DR version: I acknowledge your assertion. Also, :(.

Now to go back to discussing the game: does the rumor of a March 2015 release date for the PC version of Destiny change any of your purchasing plans for September?

Was there a thread talking about that rumored release date?

In any case, I'm still buying it on PS4 and I have no problem to double dip for PC's release.

Hadn't heard this rumor, but even if it was 100% true, I'm playing this on PS4 in September for sure.
 
I believe there was a thread about people finding the PC release date in the Steam database on this forum, and thus the rumored March 2015 release date. But I'll do a search (I'm bad at this) and edit in the link if I find it.

Edit: Okay so a few searches on here didn't result in anything, which is odd since I thought I read it here. Google search did yield rumor results (again referencing people finding it via looking at the Steam database) but nothing on neogaf. What's more odd is that I wasn't searching for Destiny anywhere, so if I read it, it would have been on this site (I thought). But yeah there is that rumor floating around, and most of them seem to reference a site I've not heard of called "Gamepur" from about 5 days ago.

Edit 2: Here's where I saw it (thanks Jest Chillin) : http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=119012687&postcount=5515
 
Beta soon.

It was linked in this very thread. Sometimes the Gaf Search function misses stuff for unknown reasons.

In any case, finding files in the Steam Database doesn't really carry much weight as evidence. If I'm not mistaken there were FFVII files in the steam database for years before the game finally did come to the platform.
 
Lol. Yeah I even did a few different Google searches for this site trying to find it. Thank you for the verification. Thought I was crazy for a second since, as I said, I wasn't searching for Destiny at all. I've only been researching mic options for consoles the past for days on Google (in regards to anything that could have resulted in anything Destiny related). But yeah there you have it.

Not sure how I feel about this one.. :c

Looks like a Alien ninja

Yeah, I'm not sure I captured the "Titan" feel. The sword on the back is probably going to go too.
However, it is of interest to note that, since I based the general look of the sprite off of the Bungie Retro shirt, there are swords on the backs of the Titan and Hunter. Potential swords in Destiny? Doubt it, but with the popularity of the Energy Sword in Halo who knows?
 
God Deej just won the internets. From this IGN piece Bungie tweeted about.

However, there remains one question that has gone unanswered and it’s an important one. So, when I sit down opposite Bungie’s vivacious community manager, David “DeeJ” Dague, I politely wait for his lively introductory chatter to cease before leaning in close to strike to the very heart of one of Destiny’s most pressing concerns.

“Why...,” I ask, pausing for dramatic effect “...can you dance?”

I expect my Putlizer Prize is already on its way.

“Well, you can dance if you want to,” answers Dague, quick as a whippet. “You can leave your friends behind,” he leans in closer still. “Cos your friends don’t dance and if they don’t dance then they’re no friends of mine.” Well played, DeeJ, well played.

I'll admit...I grinned.

Where can I find a ton of info on the 3 classes in Destiny so I can make an informed decision?

I think if you read the last dozen or so pages of this thread, you'll get all the info you need. And you'll learn that Hunter is the best class.

Ah. Beach Boys. I tell you. Folks today don't know some of the great music they are missing out on from the older years. so much great music.
 
Is interesting that one of the quotes in that IGN article basically rules out proximity chat. i prefer it this way for the coop stuff, but it kinda sucks not being able to communicate with teammates in crucible. but as deej said, that just invites a whole lot of malice and garbage in lobbies and after 10 years of that its gotten really old.

the options wouldnt hurt, as id just have em muted when i wasnt feeling it, but i think this is a good direction. and i like that theyre talking philosophy again.
 
After more than a year of lurking, I decided to join the forums after I saw there was going to be a NeoGAF clan.. It took a long time to get accepted. Saw all the drama unfold :P
That was interesting...

I'm not trying to get into the Bungie Group.. Applied just a few minutes ago. Bungie User name, is same as here. MrTexor
 
Shit.

Every day I check this thread.

Why? -__-

It's not gonna make the beta come any sooner. :(
 
Looking at getting the new PS4 scuf controllers just for this game.

What you guys think???

The domed analogs stick and those two paddles on the back could really add that extra level of control.

Hmm, I've never seen that before. If you don't like how the D-pad normally is, I guess this would be fine. But the D-pad in Destiny only does emotes. The tops of the sticks look grippy enough that your thumbs wouldn't slip off during an intense fire fight. I was fine with my controller during the Alpha, so I personally wouldn't get this.

How? ',:/
 
How? ',:/

the two paddles on the back is the X and O buttons. So you wont have to take your thumbs off the analogs to hit those two buttons as you can use your index or middle finger to press down anywhere on the paddles to activate that buttons function.

The disc thing on the D-pad, its like a disc that attaches on the D pad so I guess your finger can slide across the disc to press the buttons.

and I just like the dome analogs of the PS3 more than the concave of the xbox.

Also the controller has military grade grip on the back of the controller.

That's not Pet Sounds, but I'll allow it.
Also, Dax, how do you feel about Stamos era Beach Boys?

Not entirely sure how I feel about that. Would definitely have to hold it in my hands before I made any final judgment. The d pad is really what's making me wondering how it will be. I think it matters what game you are playing for it to be useful. Destiny probably not so much.
