I stood in line to at my local Gamestop to pay it off and heard the cashier say there was at least 400 copies reserved at that store alone.... paid it off and decided yeah I'm going to pick it up first thing after work tomorrow.

Any comparisons of the xb1 vs ps4 version? Still undecided which version to get, I have friends on both consoles.

ps4 running games better is the rule of thumb. So if your decision is based off that and you have enough friends for PS4 as well, go with that. Not to mention it has more content in ps4.

 

[Trace]

Umm not knowing much about this game at all and with my PS4 still shrink-wrapped in my closet, is a PS+ subscription for multiplayer actually required to get the most out of it? Even if I have no interest in deathmatch or PvP gameplay?

Also, I presume PS4 version is the superior one? No PC version right?

No PC version, PS+ is required for PvP and Strikes/Raids(Equivalent of dungeons and raids from WoW if that makes sense).

 

[NoTacos]

People in NZ/AUS/UK have been able to play for the last few hours if I'm not mistaken.

I already stated that it won't be as problematic because its highly unlikely a large number of players are playing on those servers right now. If east coast had a headstart, the distribution of power would be much more apparent because of the sheer number of people playing.

You won't be able to do Strikes or Raids without PS+. Not sure if you also need it for co-op in story missions.

Is it too late to pre order the PS3 version if I go up to my local gamestop before Midnight? I tried calling but there's no answer :c

 

[HoopzBarkley]

Screw gamestop, called to see if my brother could pick ot up at midnight since they let me do ot before even when calling, done it for every launch, but for Destiny they said no, didn't have it paid off so I bought digitally, if have to wait till 3 oh well I get off at 2am anyway. You gaf bros want to add a no name you can add Coach_Black ps4 btw.

Woke up a little earlier than I wanted too, Oh wells, now to kill time

PS4 is more powerful, has a year exclusive on the extra content and will simply have more players due to way more systems out there. With all else being equal seems like a pretty clear decision.

Wtf a 25 page jump in jut 3 hours..

 

[Chamber]

Ha they're not locking me out till 3am. DGAF NA West is getting it right on time.

It was most likely implemented in order to make it fair, otherwise you would have players with a 3 hour headstart in terms of XP. I highly doubt there are going to be that many people with a headstart due to NZ servers, but on a large scale it could be problematic.

I don't get the headstart argument. Players having a headstart only matters for one mode in the game which I don't even think is open yet. Bungie employees are already level 25 but I don't see how that matters to my experience.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

How we doing folks.

 

[Shrennin]

So will Destiny unlock for digital buyers by midnight?

 

[dengatron]

means absolutely nothing because physical copies have been able to play all day and they'll be able to play after getting home from a midnight launch. it's literally ONLY fucking over people that bought digitally, and it's ridiculous.

 

[Trace]

Not fast enough. We need that OT2 before it's released!

 

[DirtyLary]

Bosses in Borderlands are boring bullet sponges.

Same as this game. Higher level = up the damage and hitpoints.

Midnight PST (3am EST)

Team Titan is well and ass kicking

And you're welcome, if you have any further questions I'm glad to answer them, or any one else here in this thread .

This thread is epic.

 

[Nathan_Drake]

Any word when the Gold headset profile will be live? Playing at 3am so will be in headset mode

 

[Delt31]

IGN has nothing but good things to say for a blockbuster title? wow. big surprise. OF course greg tries to mention something that kind of sucks (like the dumb menu selections) and it's shot down by everyone.

Giantbomb - Jegg G: played 4 hours, not sure I like it. refreshing. even if he ends up liking it, I just appreciate it's not forced down our throats. and this is coming from someone who already bought the damn game. I'm just sick of the IGN cheerleading. Greg - jump ship for the love of god you're too talented for those ass clowns.

The major reason I'll never go to a Gamestop midnight release ever again

halo 2 launch was the one and only midnight I have gone to, was stuck talking to this guy who thought he was elite and shit in the line for 2 hours, no smart phone or anything to do, class the next day, lol...

 

[saveweyard]

Time for sleep. I'm expecting OT2 when I wake up at 2:30 am EDT. Feel free to add me on PSN: saveweyard; I'll be playing until I have to go to work at 8 am EDT.

Standing in a PACKED Gamestop right now to pick up my system preorder receipt

....the smell

I dread best buy's midnight release. I don't want to wait in line too long or have to smell people

I guess I'm getting there in 2 hours. My store said they weren't processing before midnight.

Ouch.

Midnight releases in my area in general just suck, not much to do, cold, and you just want to play the damn game.

 

[Fitts]

Any comparisons of the xb1 vs ps4 version? Still undecided which version to get, I have friends on both consoles.

I'm willing to assume that any graphical differences will be negligible and I don't (typically) prioritize visuals in my gaming purchases anyway. The extra content that Playstation systems get is nice, but nothing world changing. If I were in your position, I would consider two things: what console will my friends be playing it on and what controller would I prefer to use.

Spoiler

I adore the DS4 and all but one of my friends has chosen a PS4 over an Xbox One.

 

[Kaywee]

Did anyone else order from EB Games in Canada and have their pre order ship? My ghost edition pre order just says confirmed and they haven't charged my cc yet. I am starting to get the feeling I am screwed

Looks grey and square.

The white ps4 looks more offwhite/light grey in those pics.

Spoiler

ALUMINUM PS4 SONY PLEASE.

It's white white, the lighting isn't that great.

How much is that vertical stand? Is it the official one, or a third party stand?



Looks white as to me

$28, it's the official one. Same price as the black, but this is Australian RRP.

NOT SO GOOD.


Not.

So.

Good.

I went to the gta v midnight release. Possibly the worst human stench I have ever experienced.

Anyone here without a PS4 buying this for PS3?

Really tempted to pick it up digitally now and upgrade for free when I finally pull the trigger on a PS4...
