Support NeoGAF

[derFeef]

Only booted up the beta for some minutes before work. Looking good - can't wait to dive into it this evening.

 

[BokehKing]

Gotta love the PS4's still broken video share. Played an awesome multiplayer match. Had pushed the share button just before it started (sometimes this jump starts it to start recording) After the match find the only thing recorded being the menu at the end. Just unbelievable how it still isn't even somewhat working like it should.

That's weird, I've had no problems with the video sharing for a few weeks now, I wonder why that only affects some?

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

So there is no new content at all? I knew it all along..

 

[N7Commander95]

I'm Unable to start the game. It just keeps telling me they couldn't find a match for my fireteam. Any suggestions?

 

[Smoolio]

Random as hell question, out of the XB1 and PS4 controllers which one has the more sensitive R3/L3 buttons. I want to use the jumper control scheme, but so far on ps3 beta i've been super derpy about hitting melee at inappropriate times.

I went looking for the moon mission. I left disappointed

 

[Madness]

I'm playing the PS3 version and I think it looks like ass. Like a PC game running on 'medium' settings.

But I am having a lot of fun with it. The shooting and controls feel very tight.

Xbox 360 version looks like shit too. Surprising because they spent so much time on it, and because they knew the system inside and out. I think all I really like so far is the music, some of the story (has me interested) and perhaps the shooting and weapons. I don't really enjoy ADS and the bloom on some weapons, but a lot of them have nice firing, just feels great to pop off a few shots. Haven't gotten to PvP yet. This game really reminded me of Mass Effect 1 for some reason.

Feels like they require about the same amount of force.

 

[Vidpixel]

Has anyone managed to obtain an uncommon pair of shoes/pants for the Hunter class with defense above 29?

 

[TheUnsunghero26]

Had the same problem. I was able to fix it by quitting the game from the dashboard, and reopening it.

 

[everyday math]

Anyone find it funny you can look at your menu during the speaker cutscene?

 

[Kajiba]

Definitely feeling the XB1 controller more for this game.

Same.

 

[Exploratory]

I actually agree with him. The bumpers are shit and as a hunter in love with the throwing knife, I use them constantly. The touch pad is way more convenient for summoning the ghost too. The moment they start putting his voice through the speaker it'll just be even better.

I agree with everything you said. But the XB1 triggers are so much better than the PS4s I feel like a shooting game is just better on Xbox. I've used both extensively.

XB1, I think. The L3/R3 buttons are very "clicky" on that controller. I like it.

One glitch I've noticed since the update is that my sparrow's boost goes on indefinitely. Before, once the meter runs out, you'd slow down a lot. Now it goes down a bit and stays frozen. I'm okay with this.

 

[derFeef]

Got that too, I tried a few times and it eventually worked.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Sweet. Now I'm waiting for party stabilization. And I'm trying to play solo.

 

[CreateNowSleepLater]

So far, XB1 version seems to be a little blurrier in most instances, but it's not a huge difference (due to the type of AA being used) [edit: actually, looking at them back to back, it is a fairly substantial difference, but next point is important], and it's going to be 1080p at launch anyway.

I definitely like the PS4 controller better for the game than the XB1 controller. It just feels better for this kind of game, and I'm able to get headshots better on PS4, not to mention the touchpad being a superior button than the one used on XB1.

In terms of smoothness, they are the exact same.

Thats what it is, couldnt put my finger on it. its a little less saturated too. I did get a loading pause running through the map once. need to go back to ps4 to compare. Nobody on Xbone should be worried though. looks great.

 

[everyday math]

Has anyone managed to obtain an uncommon pair of shoes/pants for the Hunter class with defense above 29?

Yep. Took a while to find some.

 

[GraveRobberX]

I had surgery 2 weeks ago, ICU for 4+ days >_<

Started late on the BETA, I think I've caught up
Not many GAFfers wanna play with me, only 2-3 people invite me, must be not wanted ;_;

My Warlock:

I for the life of me can not find a Blue to put on =/
I got 3 of them earlier all level 10... FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
Also are scout rifles rare or some shit?, my gear has shit to give me more stuff to scout rifles but I can never find a green+ one

I just do Explore hoping to get something good
Hard Strike sucks so much with randoms, never revive, die multiple times near the damn bosses, seriously it not hard to take cover >_<

 

[StoopKid]

I agree with everything you said. But the XB1 triggers are so much better than the PS4s I feel like a shooting game is just better on Xbox. I've used both extensively.

Thats your opinion.

He feels the other way.

 

[Afrocious]

On PS3.

No one on my team could do any damage. I shot a guy 5 times with my shotgun and melee'd him 4 times. Wasted all my ammo point blank, and got killed.

 

[TrueGrime]

Mass Effect voice actors in this game. Plus.

 

[Spy]

Grimoire Score of 650 and Cryptarch Rank of 4 now, lol.

 

[Fracas]

I haven't been able to find a uncommon lvl 8 helmet since the beta started.

Tomorrow, that changes. Hopefully. Last uncommon item I need to complete the whole set.

 

[Vidpixel]

Yep

Dang, I still have a common pair and have been trying to find a better pair.

 

[augmental]

Why is the animation of your ship always going downward into some planet's atmosphere? There should be different animations right? Up towards the Tower, left, right etc?

 

[Kodeman]

What is this party stabilization crap? I'm not even in a party. This didn't happen to me once while playing on PS4.

 

[CreateNowSleepLater]

I'm. Not sure why you would ever want to use the bumpers xbone has really nice triggers. Bumper jumper is the way to go.

Except they have melee on the right stick instead of the bumper.

 

[leng jai]

So did they change anything during the downtime?

 

[Horseticuffs]

Played a while with my bro today, and then with some randoms. Got my first blue, though it's like level 9 sadly.

Man, what a great game. I'll be legit sad the day the beta closes, but at least I'll have TLOU to comfort me.

 

[sn00zer]

Turns out there are some hidden areas...found a lvl 11 mob in a cave in the level 2 area

 

[VanWinkle]

Thats your opinion.

He feels the other way.

I actually really like the XB1 triggers. I think they're a little better than the DS4 triggers, but the DS4 triggers are still great, and I like all the other aspects of it better than XB1 controller.

 

[BTM]

Three hours into the install and I'm at 93%! Sad thing is I won't be able to play until tomorrow.

 

[toastyToast]

Gunsmith is selling the Jigoku SR3, which is the best scout rifle in the beta imo. He'll be selling it for about 3 hours. Get it.

I literally just completed the strike on hard trying to get it and of course as soon as I go to the tower it's available.

I just bought one. It's pretty sweet

 

[Icyflamez96]

So ya'll XBox peeps liking it so far?

 

[Fleshfeast]

What is this party stabilization crap? I'm not even in a party. This didn't happen to me once while playing on PS4.

I'm getting the same thing. I thought it was because I was in a party (with 1 person, and he's playing Titanfall). I went to logout and then chose "switch profile", which takes you back to the title screen. I hit A to continue and it's now stuck at connecting.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

This Party Stabaliazation shit is so bad

Yeah, at least it's "just a beta."

So ya'll XBox peeps liking it so far?

Was until I hit this party stabilization bullshit n

 

[Ikkarus]

Hey GAF, is there anything new / different with the Beta coming back? New maps?

 

[meanspartan]

Destiny has an alternate scheme that uses L1/R1 for aim and fire, right?

If only every other PS4 shooter had that option.

Still don't understand what people's problem is with Ps4's R2 and L2, but to each their own.

 

[Two Words]

I'm playing the PS3 version and I think it looks like ass. Like a PC game running on 'medium' settings.

But I am having a lot of fun with it. The shooting and controls feel very tight.

So you think a console from 2006 running a game on medium settings look like ass?

 

[SeaOfMadness]

What is this party stabilization crap? I'm not even in a party. This didn't happen to me once while playing on PS4.

They are looking into it. Looks like a bunch of people are hitting this. Follow @BungieHelp on twitter for updates. I'm stuck too :'(

 

[Arklite]

Why is the animation of your ship always going downward into some planet's atmosphere? There should be different animations right? Up towards the Tower, left, right etc?

Probably because atmospheric travel is faster to reach any place and its showing you ready to go anywhere. But yeah, a bit of variety wouldn't hurt

 

[EdReedFan20]

YAY! I got a code thanks to Adam Boyes on Twitter!

 

[Icyflamez96]

Yeah, at least it's "just a beta."





Was until I hit this party stabilization bullshit n

wait the wat

 

[sn00zer]

So I think we can all agree that this game is complete garbage because it runs at 30 fps

Spoiler

I kid I kid

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Has anyone managed to obtain an uncommon pair of shoes/pants for the Hunter class with defense above 29?

Yes, 32 defense. Try the cryptarch, he's your best bet.

 

[Prinz Eugn]

Me too. Giving up for the night.

 

[Bornstellar]

I may still have a few concerns about the staying power of the game, but I recently did something absolutely amazing. Video soon I hope.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

So can you actually play the Xbone beta right now? I keep getting some fire team error.

Nm quitting the game and restarting it seemed to fix it.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

I've put about an hour in so far on Xbox One (thanks to a code given in the thread).

Not sure how I feel about the game. I mean, it's ok I guess. I'm very ambivalent on it. It actually feels really nice to play, which is normally the most important aspect of any game, but nothing about it really compels me to keep playing.

It's a weird feeling.
