Never really understood the hype for Destiny, maybe this'll change my mind or enlighten me.

The worst part about the beta is that they removed the "wizard came from the moon" line. Unacceptable.
EDIT:
I believe it was Space Engine.

I'm pretty much in the same camp.

Did you play the Alpha or Beta? It was low on my list of 2014 games, but after playing them, I now feel I am going to be there Day One.

I know, the moons right there as well. They wont let me go destroy the wizards colony. There's not context for the comment so it makes it seem so silly, let me go to the moon and it will all make sense dammit.

I'm playing it, and am not bowled over. It's a good game, but not there with people saying it's already a GoTY (story is really dull, gameplay is quite standard, AI is disappointing, classes don't complement each other like Borderlands co-op).

Don't own a console right now, but I'm looking for a reason to buy one. I watched a bunch of Gameplay footage and it looks...alright. Good. But nothing really special. It kinda looks like a Borderlands MMO to me. Maybe I wouldn't say that if I played the Alpha/Beta but watching it doesn't really make me want to buy a console for it.
Also, are Alphas and Betas just a marketing term for "Demo but if you don'l like something that might still change" nowadays?

Yup gonna be there day 1

I think Bungie is just stressing their servers, supposedly they wanted one million beta players from what I've read. Obviously getting feedback about different classes and weapons is nice too.

So far it seems like
"Here's some pretty boring opening level maps and missions, it's pretty fun but you know shit's bout to get hectic"
I ran into some old boat and kept going deeper underground till a bunch of enemies showed up that didn't register any levels or take any damage when I shot them, was a good "I'm out" moment as I ran back up the stairs and got on my hover bike.
It's a promising game but definitely needs some work on the mission match making, can be in an area with 4 or 5 other dudes and all be running around doing their own thing... no fun in that.

Destiny is giving me a reason to play my PS4. It's probably hype I'm buying into more than I would be if it was slammed with other PS4 content, but, it is pretty fun. I have the LE preordered.

First time I have seen extended footage of Destiny.
IDK what I was expecting of it, but it's not doing much for me.
After Borderlands, I'm not really sure I want anymore FPS MMO combination games.
Are there at least any kinda crazy powers that make it feel less like a standard FPS? I can't really judge with Jeff playing since he is the most boring human being ever when it comes to FPS's.

The 1 skill / 1 grenade that make you different from other classes are on long cooldowns, so you'll mostly just be shooting like in Borderlands.
Seems like most the class differences merely statistical with a couple upgrades for the super skill and a couple grenade choices.
Wouldn't really call Borderlands an MMO.
Not really, thinks like different jump types and jump upgrades make different classes more mobile. Likewise subclasses probably brings more variety, but that's not available in the beta.

I am usually not one to make a "you are playing it wrong" post, but Jeff refusing to use Super Charge for quite a while almost made me want to, so I did....
...then he finally used it, so I was happy.

You also get different jumps between all classes and different melee also.

But the melee is still merely a melee with a different statistical effects for each class.
There's nothing really groundbreaking that differentiates the classes to where they'd have any sort of synergy like TF2 / TFC or what Evolve is trying to do.
The majority of the time between the two classes I played (Titan 8 / Warlock 6) it was 90% a vanilla FPS with the odd cooldown that kills a bunch of things coming up.

Warlock has an upgrade/sidegrade I haven't seen for his glide that supposedly does a minor teleport, though I can't imagine it being too much like a bona fide blink.

Is there anyway to get "BatmanBatmanBatman" or "UH UH UH UH UH" involved in this somehow?

That is one area I dont really like about Giant Bomb. Some of them look down on some of the nerdier aspects of their fans interests quite a bit. I know its mostly dont in jest but it can still come across as cruel at times.
To be fair, the class stuff seems like it really differentiates later on based on skill trees.

Yeah that's what it looked like to me. It seemed like the skill trees would really make them play differently and change how they approach combat situations. Granted i've not played the game so they may be less impactful than it looks at first glance.
But it really comes down to 4 differentiators which are all given to each class: the melee modifier, the grenade type, the super and the movement modifier.
Everyone still uses the same gun pool, and 90% (with reasonable cooldown reduction in later levels, most likely) of the time you are just using your gun / base melee with your combat differentiators being a occasionality rather than a crux, which is what I would like it to be.
I'd like to see a class that mostly threw spells, or a class that was predominantly melee and threw in a speciality for shotguns for good measure. Or something like a healer type that shot out healing fields instead of bullets. The balance of the game would have to be completely altered away from the way it is now though.
I'd disagree, especially when you look at the later parts of the skill tree where certain classes turn into tanks and buffers, not to mention how each of the three has 2 sub-classes. You're literally looking at the first five skills which are given to all characters so they can all solo the same content.
