Out of curiosity what games have "good AI"? It's a complaint that too many people have yet I don't know many games that have it.

Previous bungie games had good AI. It's the rhythm of the AI really....most shooters not halo offer target practice dummies that run too locations and shoot you until they shoot them, with little variance. Halo AI not only were really skilled at adjusting position for line of site, but would also retreat to fallback positions as the fight progressed giving the player a sense of progression. Add in the little stuff where shooting the elites made grunts panic and similar...that was some pretty damn good AI

Destiny AI seems to be defaulting to more target practice style with some halo esque line of sight handling. It is easy to flank them, they lean out and shoot and stay like that even when you are to the sides of them or inches away.

What I miss most though is getting guns from the enemies. Battles were entertaining from the first fight in halo since ammo limits and gun carrying limitations forced you to change weapons and styles on the fly. Now you stick with a class or style for better or for worse

I still dig this, but after playing the alpha these extra cinematics and storytelling are pretty flat and boring. They aren't pumping me up at all, and have very somber music playing througout , and am telling me little on wtf is going on. Ghost found me dead... Or something? Now I'm alive but following him around for some reason? Why don't I care to go. To my own home? Do I have one? No clue what's going on and am waiting for this shit to open up so I can grind more loot

I really hope something is wrong with my beta, either that or its my controller. Often times my character will look up/down as if I'm pushing the right analog stick even when I'm not touching it. Does the 1 year warranty apply to the controller as well?

 

[Forceatowulf]

Fooled around in the menu and looked over the BladeDancer sub-class for my Hunter. Whoa. A lot of these abilities sound amazing.

Going stealth while you crouch, temporary invisibility, extended melee attack, motherfucking teleportation.... my god..

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Work is so slow! I just want to get home and play crucible!! GAH!

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Looks like my stats are about average if you can go by this thread.

Primary weapon - 62
Defense - 158

Absolutely loving the beta. The multiplayer needs some tweaks but I can't wait for September 9th.

 

[Darth Ghandi]

Anyone wanna do some PvE?

[kittens]

Going stealth while you crotch

I thought Destiny was rated T.

 

[SomeOneInaHat]

I was mad that my share button didn't work when I got my best run, but luckily Giantbomb was there to record at least some of it.

[MrOverSt]

Why is old Russia so lifeless and barren? Why aren't there more enemies? Why don't they explore, patrol, guard? Right now they are just waiting to die. When attacked they don't swarm, retreat, call in support, etc.

Where is the hidden lore? Why aren't their artifacts of the world before "The Darkness?" Old things to interact with. Only thing there is, is the random ass chests that don't quite fit in. Why not hide loot in caves, under rocks, near rubble, etc?

Game is beautiful though. Combat is Halo. Skills are uninspiring, all classes seem to not need the other. Everyone is a Spartan/Rambo.

I was really hoping to put my PS4 to work in September. I guess it will continue to gather dust.

Sounds like your expecting too much from a video game. I hear sex cures this problem. Or maybe ice cream.

 

[grapetile]

I tried searching this thread and the Bungie feedback site, so apologies if this has been answered.
Played some Crucible matches last night, and I was getting a weird texture glitch that I hadn't seen in this game before.
My hunter cloak was stretching off into space, like games sometimes do when the graphics card is overheating/busted/whatever in my experience.

Only my cloak is doing this, although not to that extent. Just a thin texture stretching out.
Note, this isn't my picture, and it's just what I found looking for examples.

Now I'm curious if my PS4 might need a replacement, or if this is just a weird Beta thing the're dealing with. Again, sorry if this has been covered.

 

[-griffy-]

Man, I got some level 9 items just taunting me in my inventory.

 

[Twilight Gap]

Sooooo... You're saying you believe Hunter is the best class in PvP and both Warlock and Titan should be nerfed?

Gosh I hope you're not a game designer.

ugh, no. i reaponded to the hunter being the the weakest class just because it cant fly and cannot do crowd control.

the other supers have moments of invulnerability and are virtually impossible to dodge, so all i suggested was for them to require more than 'press the bumper to win'

A titan can survive a point blank rocket if he activates his super and it hits him while he is invincible. if you want to talk design, tell me how that is balanced instead. There were concerns about this super before the beta started by the way.

Of course, im not against a Golden Gun 'nerf' either. But at least you need to aim it and you aren't invincible when you use it.

 

[graywolf323]

Man, I got some level 9 items just taunting me in my inventory.

I have a level 10 cloak I won't be able to wear for a while since I'm only level 6 (and I got it at level 4)

 

[kittens]

I got some bad news for you: the beta only let's you level up to level 8.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

I thought Destiny was rated T.

I wish I could go full stealth whilst I crotch.

 

[Stantron]

Primary weapon Attack: 62
Defence: 160

Maybe we can team up for the event. There doesn't seem to be an option to team up with the group/clan, in game though. PSN same as gaf name.

 

[hypernima]

Is it me or does the PvP in this game seem unbalanced at times?

- Golden Gun
- one shot kills with non sniper rifle weapons
- being able to capture a point while in an armed vehicle

 

[El_Fenomeno]

My sentiments exactly, for some reason I pictured the hunter playing that way to an extent. That's why I'm holding my ground

 

[BokehKing]

No one using mic's when doing random strikes is annoying, half the time no one enters the strike, they think the strike is the fight outside the doors

 

[Reckless Onion]

whats the best way to farm some loot? drops are rare..

 

[RoKKeR]

Absolutely. I actually enjoy it less the more I play it. It's fun to romp around in but I can't see it really grabbing me. We'll see though.

 

[El_Fenomeno]

Do you guys already have your fireteams set for the upcoming event?

 

[SomeOneInaHat]

They have to be in your fire team in order to hear you. You can do this quickly by clicking R3 at them, then press option, and then invite to fire team.

hahahah This is why you shouldn't internet when you haven't had a meal yet.

I'm enjoying it but yes, it's unbalanced at the moment. That one shot pistol (?) is ridiculous. The Interceptor's ridiculously OP too. I had a go in one earlier and was pretty much invincible for half the match.

 

[Nestled_Grizzly]

Do you guys already have your fireteams set for the upcoming event?

Nope! Just going to go and have fun haha

 

[Nyteshade517]

What exactly are the differences in doing the Strike on Hard compared to Normal? I've only done it on Normal so I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it to try and get better item drops. The game seems like it is allergic to giving me a a good Auto Rifle..lol

 

[Izayoi]

Wow, what the fuck? I spent about an hour grinding explore mode last night (around 3-4am PST) and I wake up this morning to find that all of my progress is gone. I still have my Ether Seeds like I never used them, my level 10 blue rocket launcher is gone from my bank, and all the new gear I was wearing is gone.

Not very thrilled, to say the least. I really hope this gets sorted before retail, I would've Been absolutely livid.

 

[hohoXD123]

Came across a hallowed knight. Oh boy...

 

[Forceatowulf]

The last one is what always annoys me. That's some bullshit.

 

[Abstruse Moose]

I just got a "Paradox and Truth" warlock bond. Anyone know what it does?

 

[MrS]

Nope! Just going to go and have fun haha

My man

More enemies and there are the higher level variants with armor and stuff

 

[NoTacos]

I just made a new guardian, Exo Titan class and its pretty cool. It sucks about the lack of ranged special attacks but the armor is legit.

 

[todd360]

It makes you look cooler.

 

[Shrennin]

I kinda wish "Explore" mode and "Story" were integrated. That alone would make the world feel more connected. It feels weird going into a story mission where it's basically the same as exploring but with the story but then having a separate mode for just exploring. Either that, or I wish the story was completely outside the explore portions where the story is able to be even more focused as a result.

 

[Vire]

Sorry guys, no mic. But good games!

 

[fluffydelusions]

What/where/when is this special event you guys refer to?

 

[Gaz_RB]

Sorry guys, no mic. But good games!

No worries. You're pretty good, glad you're on our team

 

[Ragarra]

I'm up for joining a prearranged fire team for the event at 5eastern. Psn is Ragarra would be up for a strike or pvp till then. Have a mic as well.

 

[hypernima]

No Scoping with the sniper rifle is more effective than a shotgun in close quarters. And some people seem to have shields, while I don't I believe?

 

[Karl Hawk]

What/where/when is this special event you guys refer to?

The Iron Banner, a PvP event.

 

[Kyoufu]

Sorry guys, no mic. But good games!

I've played with a lot of randoms without mics. I hope this won't be a trend in the full release because silent teammates are no fun

 

[El_Fenomeno]

What/where/when is this special event you guys refer to?

Iron Banner(where your gear actually sets you apart) ,Crucible, and 2PM PST

 

[todd360]

I have a full set of greens other than the boots. I played 3 hard strikes in a row and finally got a green boots cryptarch drop. I turned it in and it was level 9 boots. The rage. The horror. Doesn't the game understand that I need green boots for the competition at 5? Lol

Hey, I get the same thing, and the beta for me crashes on strikes and while playing on the crucible. My PS4 keeps crashing while playing online or digital games and a replacement is already on it way. If your system also starts acting up then using the warranty shouldn't hurt.

 

[Croc]

Anyone been lucky enough to find a rare drop for an equip they can actually use? I think I have 2 so far but one is level 9 and one level 10. Wish I could find at least one before this Iron Banner thing starts to give me a little extra edge. My equips are still pretty decent so far though.

Def: 157
Atk: 62

 

[VisceralBowl]

Gaz, you going to be on an hour or so before the event?

 

[cyborg009]

I've played with a lot of randoms without mics. I hope this won't be a trend in the full release because silent teammates are no fun

I meet some cool people and we all had mics and played until the morning. This was on the ps3 too lol.

 

[funkypie]

anyone notice the incredible halo similarities in the game? Before I go into it, I love this game.....

Hive and Fallen = flood and the covenant
giant ships flying over and shooting purple lasers
enemy types (giant guy surrounded by grunt types)
music
shotgun look, feel and aim
the way the vehicles move, look

there are so many of them that I'm surprised the comparisons are not more in the previews.

wait there is a difference? I was just for the enemies were all the same.
