Support NeoGAF

[Officerrob]

So what are the main complaints so far?

Not fun to play solo
What there is of a story is bad
Lack of mission variety

 

[Riedinizzo]

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?

No. The main value is the included expansion pass

 

[CloudyTuba]

Nah I have the same thing, it lets me play fine but has "buy now" below start game. Bought it digitally too.

I'm getting trophies and everything so just seems like a weird store bug.

Thanks for your reply! I was worried that the thread was moving too fast for anyone to see my post.

I think I'll ask Sony support just incase.

Halo has a clearly communicated storyline and a well realized canon. 13 years, dozens of books and comics and animation and television productions don't come from a "bad story."

50 Shades of Grey is getting a movie, that doesn't mean the book is quality!

 

[Obscured]

First match since the beta went pretty well.

What was your weapon of choice?

 

[failgubbe]

So when are you going to get the emblems and shaders that the codes on bungie.net gives you??

 

[Åesop]

Reached Level 20 and just found some op gear ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

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.

Yes you can, you just have to start a new one first.

Switch/create new ones by hovering over "Log Out" and choosing "Character Select".

 

[Art Vandilay]

Smooth for me.

Nice. Do you mind if I ask your platform and region? I'll be on the XB1 in central US.

 

[Namikaze1]

If I'm following right, there's a gold loot chest in World's Grave final room...WHERE THE FUCK IS IT?!
I've been there multiple times and still can't find it.

 

[Reckless Onion]

10 PAGES in 1 hour? cmon son

 

[funkypie]

Can you join clans. I keep seeing destiny GAF EU under peoples name.

 

[super-famicom]

For those who adored the beta/alpha, how is it so far?

I only played up to the mission where you get your Sparrow. I'm loving it, even though everything is the same as the beta so far. Auto rifles do have more recoil and hand cannons feel better to use. Up for some Fire team action later today?

 

[greatgeek]

Welp, after nearly 2hrs of error code centipede I'm giving up...guess I'll go to class or something.

 

[TokiDoki]

Anyone got error code marion berry for ps4 ?

 

[BokehKing]

You really comparing 13 years to a game that has not been out 24 hours yet?

13 years and that story is still 'eh' to me though

 

[Xaero Gravity]

This game is lovely. Ignore the haters - this is FUN FUN FUN

Yeah, fuck opinions!

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Game might have just peaked itself less than half way.

Spoiler

Dat sword

How can they top that?

 

[Wilde]

Anyone know how to get the Bungie.net specific emblems? Such as the one for playing 4 of their previous games?

My profile on Bungie shows I've played 4 of their games, but I haven't received the emblem from the postmaster.

 

[CeeSaw]

My disc won't play on Xbox one

Did you try a hard reset? Hold down the power button for 10 seconds and turn it back plon when the light on the power brick goes orange.

 

[AmateurHour212]

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.

I agree that the beta wasn't really a beta but more of a demo.

I thought it was pretty clear as Bungie was basically saying anyone could play the beta. As that was the case, I knew it wouldn't be your typical beta. If there were a ton of bugs, it would have turned a lot of people off from the game because they wouldn't understand what their "role" was in playing the beta.

 

[Sergoes]

I thought the same thing, but after making a second character, it "unlocks" the option to delete either character. It's still a pain that you can't just change some character options at the Tower with some kind of barbershop vendor.

 

[RiverKwai]

Just got done w my first meeting of the day, halfway through my mind had a "Eureka!" type moment and I came up with the most brilliant OT2 title ever.

Destiny [OT2}: Eclectic Boogaloo.

So I rushed back to my office and sure enough, it's not that.

 

[Marvel]

10 PAGES in 1 hour? cmon son

Hype.

 

[chidrock]

No. The main value is the included expansion pass

Thanks - I edited my post to clarify the extra $40 would be on top of the $100. So I guess the question are the bonuses besides the expansion pack (case & book, etc) worth an extra $40?

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Yeah, fuck opinions!

To be fair, his opinion is also an opinion.

 

[nynt9]

It will be interesting to see how opinions on this game develop once the initial excitement period is over.

 

[arimanius]

Welp, after nearly 2hrs of error code centipede I'm giving up...guess I'll go to class or something.

Don't know why but that had me rofl.

 

[Gaz_RB]

What was your weapon of choice?

Shotgun mostly, with the Scout Rifle for long range.

Shotgun is fucking deadly.

 

[Definity]

Where are my vanguard items from the digital guardian edition (ps4)?

 

[educator]

I like Destiny a lot, great shooting mechanics and rewards players for exploration. One thing though, what happens after hitting level 20? Is it a rep grind from there on out? I might be wrong, but the missions seem really few. Im already level 11 after a day of playing.

I'm also a tad disappointed in the lack of story and the fact that I can't interact with people besides waiving, dancing and pointing. I also wish the enemies would scale after your level, there's no point in visiting Earth anymore since the enemies are way too low leveled right?

Great game though and i'm going to play it for a very long time ahead.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Fuck You Amazon.

 

[Future]

I only played up to the moon but variety has been ok for me. Does remind me a lot of typical halo complaints of "but nothing is scripted and I keep fighting the same enemies!" I will admit this doesn't have halo like combat that made repetitive encounters that enjoyable, but it's not horrible either. Especially if you bump the difficulty up every level like I do: the variety comes in your tactics of how to handle the encounter and specific enemy waves

 

[blue_phazon]

Just to confirm, if I put the expansion pass code into one ps3, can I still play the expansion on another ps3 as long as I log in to my psn?

 

[N° 2048]

Can someone please answer my question? I've asked three four times...still gets missed.

How do you unlock all crucible modes?

Anyone????????

 

[WITHE1982]

Can you join clans. I keep seeing destiny GAF EU under peoples name.

Yes. If you're a member of a DestinyGAF group on bungie.net you can set them as your clan.

A few groups have yet to implement the feature but if you're in the primary group you can just set that as your clan for the time being.

 

[Jafo_]

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.

What the...Are you playing on the PS3/360?

 

[Karl Hawk]

It will be interesting to see how opinions on this game develop once the initial excitement period is over.

 

[TheDrowningMan]

Is it possible to super charge using Vita?

Edit: Figured it out seconds later!

 

[Marvel]

Anyone????????

Dunno.

lol, not touched it yet.

 

[LtOrange]

How are the changes to First Light? I really liked the map itself, but the vehicles ruined the way it played.

 

[broony]

Where are my vanguard items from the digital guardian edition (ps4)?

Vanguard quartermaster in east tower after you reach lvl 5.

 

[Noisepurge]

what the hell, there's NO audio options? Dinklage is yelling in my ear all the time way-way-way louder than my buddies in voice chat...

Why no audio volume slider? Amateur hour...

 

[Trey]

50 Shades of Grey is getting a movie, that doesn't mean the book is quality!

Point I'm making is that Halo is decent sci-fi, objectively. And the story is told competently in the mainline Bungie games. It's nothing mind blowing, but the world building makes up for it.

Bungie should have learned from the "weakest" aspect of Halo and improved upon it. Having an interesting story is very important because it can mask gameplay flaws for a lot of people and get them to finish the game. Also, it makes the franchise more amenable to other formats of media. Halo didn't get all that I listed because it revolutionized console shooter gameplay, it got it because the world was interesting and unique enough to the demographic it was targeting.

Same thing with Mass Effect.

 

[Der Flatulator]

Game is good: Confirmed.

Tiniest bit frustrated that I can't get those old fart emblems though.

 

[DeadManWalking]

Can someone please answer my question? I've asked three times...still gets missed.

How do you unlock all crucible modes?

You play one match and then the next one will unlock.

 

[broony]

Game is fucking awesome : Confirmed.

 

[pocketaces]

Did you try a hard reset? Hold down the power button for 10 seconds and turn it back plon when the light on the power brick goes orange.

Thanks man that worked, phew!

 

[MrCookiepants]

Not sure what you guys were expecting in terms of mission variety. It's a co-op centric FPS with semi-open world level design.

There's not much you can do with that framework.

 

[bob page]

This thread is such a shit show. It's basically just a bunch of people asking the same questions about impressions over and over + people complaining about their deliveries or inability to play. Real questions just get glanced over.

Please read the previous few pages before posting so the same thing doesn't get brought up every other post.
