So PSN and XBL have handled the launch pretty well huh? I am not seeing any reports of mass crashes or downtime for either service.

That's good
 
GAF I screwed up. I got caught up with life over the summer and never preordered this and now I can't find any extra limited editions except by third party sellers. Is the special edition worth an extra $40, or should I just man up and go regular?

Edit- I mean extra $40 as in $140 for the limited edition
 
Playing through the first few levels once again is killing me, I mean it was great we got the alpha/beta because I would have never bought it otherwise but starting out has already become not particularly enjoyable.
 
Is it Dicklage all the way through? No other companions? Wasn't too hot on his voice acting in the beta.

Not where I am. The Speaker's done his infamous exposition scene, and it's looking like there's going to be another one coming from some Exo hunter who's popped up in a few cutscenes, but Dinklebot has handled basically everything thus far.
 
I think everyone needs to take a deep breath. I hear a lot of complaints about content and dead worlds and all that. The game has been live for less than a day. Let's all take some time and judge for ourselves before we let any reviews derail it for us. I hear some people say "it's the same as the beta!" Um, yeah, the beta was the first few missions and some side missions/PvP. Yes, you're going to have to repeat those in the main game. Did that surprise anyone?

Yeah, a beta shouldnt be the first few levels of a game. That is a demo. A beta implies that improvements will be made to the final product.

It's like they actually took note of how other games (i.e. GTAV) struggled when they launched and said to themselves, "Let's not do that".
 
Is there a reason to not dismantle the green weapons? Thought I read some hints that maybe that's not the best idea

If you outleveled it, dismantle. You can use the materials you get to improve future gear. Or save them in the vault for a second or third character to use.
 
Can someone please answer my question? I've asked three times...still gets missed.

How do you unlock all crucible modes?
 
Booked it to Best Buy.
Picked up my copy.
Ran by my house and popped the disc into my PS4.
Grabbed my vita.
Now back at work playing through remote play.
This is freakin next gen.

You brilliant bastard. Haha. I am sitting in my office glued to this thread because I'm having withdrawal. Got 3 hours of sleep last night because I stayed up until my digital copy went live. I would kill to just shut my office door and play remotely right now.

"Hey are you on a conference call?"...

"yeah, a call... go away..."
 
I am just totally confused about 'what' Destiny is, I like my FPS shooters, I play CoD and BF as they give something different, not really played any MMO's, and I love RPG's too, but I've not been caught up in the hype with Destiny, I've not read any previews or anything about it, all I had was about two hours with the beta and I just felt like nothing was happening, I couldn't work out what I needed to do to get to the crucible and it felt like "land here, go to point A, kill people, now go and wipe out everyone in a horde/wave attack" until the end and then back to base we go, rinse repeat at another location.

Maybe this game just isn't for me.
If you care for BF and CoD, Destiny is well worth looking into.

The hurdle compared to those other two brands? Leveling and gearing your character in single player. This will be an obstacle, but I guarantee that over 50% who stick with the game past the initial rush will continue the "end game" in multiplayer. And the multiplayer is, well, an acquired taste. It is like Halo, but the three-weapon approach plus character skills does alter the generic formula considerably.
 
Anybody else think the Earth from the moon looks hilariously bad? It looks like a poor polygonal sphere with muddy textures and aliasing that's floating about a thousand feet in the sky.
 
Oh joy. I now have pink (purple?) hair and a hideous hair style because I accidentally clicked on "finish" whilst cycling through hair colours.

Can we still change appearances? I don't want to create a new character because it looks like we can't delete either.
 
I just can't wrap my head around some of the backlash. From what I can tell this is the beta with more levels, locations, abilities, loot, strikes, and endgame. What did people expect?
This is all I wanted. I think some people jumpted on the hype train blindly without asking themselves what massive changes could possibly happen between the beta and release.
 
It goes in one ear and right out the other. Its all a bit vague and doesn't establish any real dramatic stakes whatsoever. Offhand remarks and jargon that don't mean anything to you. Press this button, press that button, what does it do? Who knows? Who cares? Monotone robot pal thing...its bad

Yeah this is a decent description. You get dropped somewhere with no idea why, do something for some reason then leave and the stuff you did is never mentioned again or effects anything in any way. Alongside this a robot talks about Moon Wizards as if that's totally normal and then ever second word is just something made up and meaningless. No characters, no progression, no story at all so far really I would say. The game is fun but so far the 'story' is just awful.
 
Really undecided if I should pick up the game or not. Just from the beta I found the missions to be boring, but had fun playing with friends and randoms though.
 
For anyone on the Xbox One that would like to team up my Gamertag is: Smashy Smashy

I am on EST and usually playing sometime after 9pm on weekdays.

Excited to jump in tonight. I feel like it is impossible for this game to live up to the level of hype it has. I am just hoping it fulfills my loot and sci-fi fps needs.
 
If anyone is wondering where the vanguard / red sparrow / extra emblems are, even if it appears they downloaded, I had to go into my download queue on my phone which showed the download had failed, cancel the download then start them off again from my download list. You need to go to the sony store website though, not through the console.

Prior to that they appeared to have downloaded and installed according to my ps4 dashboard, but the items weren't available in game from the postmaster / vanguard quartermaster.
