It is amazing that the lack of "real" reviews somehow forces people to read troll user reviews over at Metacritic...

How about trying to assess the game using your own critical thinking for once in your life?

This dependency on reviews is like a taught disability.

People like to read reviews to get an idea of whether to buy a game or not.

 

[raven777]

wow the pulse rifle feel much better than the beta.

Is 1.01 patch applied?

 

[greatgeek]

Anyone else not able to connect to the servers (error codes centipede/chicken)?

 

[Homeboyd]

I've asked in the other thread but how the heck do I delete my save game/character? My guy looks derpy and I want to start with a new one without taking up a 2nd save slot.

Helllllp!

EDIT: I am PS4 by the way

Go to settings, log out... from your "start" menu.

 

[Coux]

Has anyone not received their pre-order bonuses? Received a card for the armory, but not for the sparrow. (delivery, not in store pickup)

 

[MattyG]

I caved. I bought it. Wasn't excited before. Its installing. Now I'm excited.

 

[Tamanon]

Should I dismantle my weapons and armor or save everything?

I'd say a general rule is if it's grey/white, it's crap after you've gotten better.

 

[Broadbandito]

btw found out amazon has supply issues with the hard cover LE guide. They are expecting to start shipping them in October. I found one at my local best buy and will just price match there.

 

[Messofanego]

It's obvious an incredible amount of effort and resources has gone into developing this game. If Destiny gets less than a 90 average on Metacritic I will be seriously f*cking pissed.

Shareholder?

No, we have to wait until people start reaching the level cap and experience the end-game.

The grind from 1-20 (30?) should just be the beginning of this type of game.

Ah, the good ol' FF XIII model! XD

Just got my first rare engram for destroying in my first Rumble match. -crosses fingers

And for the other colors?

Hope you enjoy

The Guardian edition has all of the content in the Limited and Ghost.

Dismantle, my bredeh.

 

[Darklord]

Also, everyone I've seen has fire team set to friends only. How do you change that? I can't even see a setting for it.

 

[MaximusPrimus]

In the beta you could hover over the character card and.

Note that you need to have at least TWO CHARACTERS in order to delete one. Weird.

Thanks!

Dismantle, my bredeh.

What is ghost? The game just came out and it has an expansion already? Lol

Gahhhh so JEALS. I can't wait to start getting that kind of dope shit everywhere. Gotta level up my lil Titan!

And start my Warlock.

And Hunter.

Oh jeez.

 

[Sketchbag]

So now we are back on the "it's not an MMO" thing? Really?

Not saying it isn't a MMO. I'm saying it doesn't have the basic in-game features of a MMO that allow for a community to rise. Not a community in the sense that there's a Halo or CoD community but a world where you can walk up to people, make friends, etc. The controller doesn't really allow for this kind--standard MMO socialization--to occur. It's still a MMO in regards to how it's designed but the controller makes it so it's hard for you to meet and socialize like in other MMOs.

Excuse me? Why are you so agressive towards a question about this game?

I have not bought this game yet because I am not sure if it's my kind of thing or not and I am interested in reading others views about it before I sink £55 on a game I may or may not even enjoy to the end.

ATTENTION FELLOW WESTCOASTGAF MEMBERS:

As we all sit here and watch the damn Europeans play, we can do nothing but try and focus on work. So, let's all hook up tonight and kill things! Add me on PSN. Will be home by 5pm PST and installing the game by 5:01pm.

I'm talking free roam/exploring/story mode coop here. Not a big PVP guy but I love going over every nook and cranny looking for secrets. I'm old as fuck (41) so no energy drink squeals or ADD from me. If I commit to a fight I stay until the bitter end!

That IS weird, thanks - much appreciated

Go to the character menu and tab over left to "roster" and you can change your fire team settings in there.

 

[Marvel]

Holy shit when you look at your character on bnet it's animated, nice touch.

 

[Servbot24]

PvP and fighting mobs with some buddies for loot is fun enough, but holy shit is the story terrible, and the missions are bland/all follow the same structure. Couldnt spoil it if I tried. Avoid solo play, or you will be dissapointed.

If that's all you're interested in - don't buy.

That's all I needed to know. I'll put off buying a PS4 for a while longer.

Shareholder?

The Metacritic comment is silly, but don't do this.

TOtally disagree. It's obviously stripped down, but the game is structured so that you can run into someone else's gameplay experience and share it with them.

I haven't checked, but I'd be willing to bet XBL and PSN have these players listed in your recent players list, and you can then Friend and/or Message them.

 

[KooopaKid]

From what I've seen so far there is almost no scripted sequences like shown here :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3FIVbfTdT0&t=8m57s

Can anyone confirm?

And also where are the turrets, tanks and Banshee equivalent?

 

[funkypie]

So what's happening with the vanguard armory then. I'm sure its still not downloaded since launch.

 

[BlackGhost]

so don't even bother with the vanguard stuff, that the consensus so far

How do you even get it?

 

[CrossTrigger]

So I am just waiting to get home from work to play.... but Question, is this something you should wait to start with your friends? Or go it alone to begin with?

 

[E92 M3]

What is ghost? The game just came out and it has an expansion already? Lol

The Ghost edition just has the toy. And the expansion packs are reservations/discounted for when they do come out.

I truly hope they are worth it though.

-
Guys, has Bungie commented on the meatiness of the expansion content?

 

[MrS]

The Bastion crucible map is awesome!

 

[piratepwnsninja]

So I'm trying to buy digitally from the Xbox Store on the web, but it's saying Not Available. This is despite me having clicked a link to buy it digitally. Anyone else experience this?

 

[Marvel]

How do you even get it?

There's a dude in the tower near the woman who sells ships, you buy it there.

I'm using the vanguard hand cannon.

 

[Messofanego]

The Metacritic comment is silly, but don't do this.

Heh, it's just sad how some people get this invested over review scores.

 

[Ramirez]

Wow. derp. Thank you for this.

Somehow even though I've never touched that setting or knew it was there it was all the way to the "other" section. No wonder my volume levels were all messed up.

No problem, had the same problem last night, lol.

 

[WITHE1982]

yup! Five per "planet".

So they're not just on earth then. What are the rewards for collecting them?

Obvious mark reply as spoiler if you know.

Oh i see.. I'm getting the digital version. And I don't care about toys

Thanks for the clarification. You just saved me $30

Oh jeez.

Turned out to be pretty dope indeed!

Now I just need a damn cloak!

That's a way to go about it but it's still a giant hurdle instead of pressing enter and saying "hi". I have a feeling getting pre-mades will eventually be segregated the same way other games, for example NAZI Zombies in World at War, which is "mic or leave".

Bummer. I keep seeing a lot of these types of comments, opinions etc. I felt that the PvP in the Alpha and Beta was very mediocre and was hoping for a stellar PvE experience. I'll still go through it once. But glad i went disc instead of digital with this.

 

[Hamlet]

So I am just waiting to get home from work to play.... but Question, is this something you should wait to start with your friends? Or go it alone to begin with?

Its decent enough going solo but you'll get a lot more enjoyment out of the game if you play with other people.

 

[Karl Hawk]

So they're not just on earth than. What are the rewards for collecting them?

Obvious mark reply as spoiler if you know.

Spoiler

You get an uncommon sparrow with a color that depends on your class

 

[MattyG]

I don't know what class to pick. I'm leaning towards Titan or Warlock. Suggestions?

 

[BlackGhost]

Thanks!

Thanks for that update. I've been wondering what was up with my order. Might as well cancel that then because it will probably seem pretty useless a month later.

 

[Marvel]

Thanks!

Godspeed, Guardian lol.
