Early mission spoiler

ran into the hive, delivered the evidence to hunter vanguard. Hive hasn't been on earth in centuries....and he says NOTHING. wtf bungie what the hell are you doing with this story? Is the entire story gonna be told
Through grimoire
 
One of those two postman people in that kiosk. There's one on each side. P. sure that's where I got them. OR shoot, maybe it was from the Vanguard dude by your spaceship.
I just remembered that once you redeem the codes you have to go back and "use" them on b.net. Will probably be there now lol
 
Pretty disappointing if Destiny's story sucks. It's not like Bungie haven't told good stories before, and I think the world that Destiny inhabits is really fucking awesome. All that mystery and mythology is squandered without a reason to care about it.
 
This is the last time I pre-order anything on that garbage place Sony calls a store. Can't access the expansion pass, my PS3 purchase doesn't show up, can't upgrade to PS4, can't do shit.

Yeah, this is a big part of the problem. When you
bring the Speaker the dead Ghost of that guardian you find in the first moon mission,
you'd expect it to be an emotional moment, right?

Nope.

I'm not sure if these are people who like the Halo stories who are saying that Destiny has a terrible story or not. I can see a lot of people coming from Playstation hating the Halo stories in comparison to Uncharted or The Last of Us etc. Would be interesting to hear comparisons made by people who like the in game Halo stories.
 
I just bought the regular digital version of the game, couldnt wait for the limited edition that arrives in a few days. Anyone know if i'll be able to apply the perks of the limited edition, to the regular edition? (skins, armory, ghost, vessel, sparrow stuff) are they just redeemable codes ?

I love, love, love Halo stories and lore.

Destiny's story is godawful.
 
I cant seem to get a clear answer if R1 dlcs will work on an R3 copy of the game. So I'm gonna try my luck here.. Does anyone know? Haha

And if there really isnt an answer to it yet, would anyone be willing to lend me any code to their dlcs? I wont redeem it. I just wanna see if it'll have the "code invalid" or not. Cause if it doesnt, it should mean it works right?
 
Seems like Destiny is impervious to criticism.

Story's not good ---> Doesn't matter, no one plays these games for the stories.
Mission structure is boring ---> It's an MMO, it's supposed to be boring.
World feels empty ---> It's launch, they'll fix it later, don't worry.
 
A lot of the complaints here are funny... Did you guys complaining about the story and mission structure and what not play the beta?

Those issues were all there and apparent for everyone to see in the beta.

So since there was a beta any criticism of the awful story missions are invalid?
 
7 hours of work left... i can almost smell that new disc and steelbook case... mmmmm... im so fucking pumped to join up with DGAF soony!!

Same here. I had a feeling today was going to be the worst of it and sure enough, the day is already crawling by. Not too mention there's a severe thunderstorm coming my way tonight and I'm really hoping my power or internet doesn't go out.
 
Why does it feel like max level players are not hitting that much harder than low levels?

If it's like the beta then it's because max level players DON'T hit much harder than high levelers. Three things affect your standard damage.

1) Damage is primarily affected by the 'impact' stat.

2) The attack/defence stats give a relatively small bonus to damage (it might be a big boost for legendary gear with crazy-high attack stats, but it's not the massive differences you get in a typical MMO).

3a) If you are UNDER-levelled then you get a BIG damage penalty. IIRC it was 50% for enemies 3 levels higher than you, and you do zero damage enemies 6 levels higher.
3b) Being OVER-levelled has no effect (or at least no noticable effect).

It's a clever system designed to help team play. Your level acts as a gatekeeper to stop you from playing the high-level content.
However, the low level enemies can still do some decent damage to you, so it can still be fun to play the low-level content again, either as exploration or to help out a lower level friend.

Oh, and goddammit Bungie. Add some audio balance sliders like every other game developer in the history of the universe. I'm not buying a PS4 gold headset just to get a hardware audio-balance override.
 
Anyone else not getting any Crucible marks?

The patch notes said they increased the earnings to 3 per win/2 per loss, but I'm not getting any at all.

It depends on how the story is told. I didn't think the story in Halo 4 was bad so much as I thought it was horribly told.

A lot of people are saying the exposition in Destiny is very thin (being told through text) and the characters are boring. Those are fundamental problems with how the essence of the story is delivered that will have negative impact on how the players receive the information.

Halo still executed better lore and story than this. But I think that's cuz you have a key hero and key surrounding characters and cool mysteries surrounding the halos. I knew what was happening and didn't need it to be uncharted level to enjoy. There was cool progression, from attacked ship , to exploring the halo, to boarding a covenant ship, seeing the flood, etc

In destiny i don't know wtf is happening or why in doing anything. Suddenly I go to the moon for no particular reason other than its available. It doesn't really shove any story in your face though. Maybe there is lore if you search for it , but no one is doing that on launch day ha

Well, if u bought it, just try to have fun with it.

There's always a risk at getting a game day one

After all everyone can enjoy a game in different way. For example, above, someone was complaining that the game was only 10 hrs long. I actually like that :)

what is R1 and R3?

R1 is right shoulder button, R3 is pushing in the right analog stick

That doesn't sound like what I am looking for...
