I would love to see statistics as to Destiny's impact on workplace productivity. I am personally staring at the clock while typing this.
Destiny |OT2| The Last Guardians

Ah well, I was fully stocked before it started, I don't think level 6 equipment's much good against noble walkers
I'm impressed we almost killed it! I think we may have gotten unlucky though, as there appeared to be a second event taking place just over the hill, so hordes kept running over and sniping at us whilst we fought. We'll get it next time.
Would also be great if you could get a clan list in game and invinte people from GAF from there on Fireteam and Strikes...
Okay, here's serious storytelling protip time:
No legend has ever felt that what they were doing was legendary. It's almost basic Story Crafting 101. Legends are ordinary people doing what they think are everyday things, or in this case, you playing a video game.
I'm pretty sure if I were to write a story of your adventures, people would read it and go, "That man is legendary" even though you don't feel that way.

Yeah, I don't think people are going to get emergent stories out of this game like something out of Day Z, Far Cry 2, STALKER, Dishonored, etc where systems are interacting with other systems leading to random watercooler moments.
Yeah, I was really surprised that they didn't wind up adding a clan roster alongside friends. Surely that's on the way...
maybe people been posting this all day but i really dislike the enemy pop in. i turn ad corner and all of the bad guys pop into existence and act like I'm not there. once i fire the first shot things kick off but i don't recall this happening in beta. this is with the digital edition.
on a disgusting note i played from 3am to 3pm almost without stopping. really enjoying the game so far. still on the moon. lvl 15 right now.

i dont understand how to proceed in this game, very confusing. i did the first mission, escaped with the ship and now im in a menu or something, with "set destination", two options there, the Tower and Old Russia which i just escaped. i cant go to the Tower because it says "requirements not met", so uhh i need to land back to Old Russia even though i just escaped from there? did i miss something? seems dumb..
im stumped.

Yup you need to go back and find a warp drive for your ship...
Well, my package was delayed due to "External factors," so I have no idea when it's going to arrive. I'm sick at home, and was kind of hoping it'd arrive at a decent time so I could try to give it a go while in bed.
The really annoying thing about it is that it's UPS, I got release date delivery from Amazon, and it shipped from Ontario, California, and I live in Los Angeles, California, literally, an hour to an hour and a half away. Absurd.

And why would I want them?
I'm loving the story/lore in this game so far. The grimmore cards go into even more detail around characters/places. I think it's pretty awesome.
So is this game like a first person version of PSO? It certainly sounds like it, recycled/repetitive missions with friends & loot drops as well as a slight populated' aspect to it. I didn't mind PSO despite its limited maps/gameplay but with reports of more variety at lvl20 as maps open up and Raid missions not being available yet.

seriously? wow what awful awful mission design. jesus. it seemed like the game is buggy or something.
Just done the strike on earth for the third time today.
Started off as a three man fire team, but the third member bailed just before we reached the first part of the mission.
Me and this other guy fighting back to back virtually, nova bombs, golden guns, special weapons, explosions, epic music, shooting people in the face, getting shot in the face.
Very cool.
I am looking forward getting to a level where I can start exploring the tunnels and caverns below the surface, just can't get anywhere near them at the moment because of the level of the enemies down there.

You just answered your own question, my good sir.
Did you not get taken to the tower automatically after the intro mission? Because that is what was supposed to have happened.

Why can't that sword be a full time weapon?

Playing the missions only on Hard modes is the way to go. Challenging but fair. However, there is some level grinding (bounties and crucible) to be done in order to be ready for them.

That was most certainly in the beta. It reminded me of Far Cry 2 respawning enemies.

Yeah, basically of that Diablo/PSO type of action-shooter-looter but mixed up with a 'mingle-player' element in the public spaces. Too bad it doesn't really want to offer any real attempt at melee combat, but it's fun. Don't expect PSO, though, just something that sometimes reminds you of it.
Some events that happen/fights are really cool, but it's just the context is basically some offhand sentence Peter Dinklage whispers which I forget about 10 minutes later.

I contacted Amazon about my broken box Ghost Edition and they gave me a partial refund. Nothing great but fair considering I don't think this is really Amazon's fault anyway with all the complaints and pictures I've seen. I linked the CS rep to a couple of pictures floating around on the net and they said they're passing them along to supervisors as it appears to be a manufacturer/shipping issue and not Amazon or any other specific retailer. The damage is the same across the board in varying degrees it looks like.
So anyway if you have an issue please let whatever retailer know about it so they can take care of the problem, whatever it may have been. Hopefully they end up replacing them or something if they get enough complaints.

I think yours might be...I mean you can't leave,unless you decide to,until you finish the mission by following your objective...looks like it messed up on you...
For anyone who didn't play the beta, I played both alpha/beta and I felt like Destiny was a pretty generic shooter/MMO with nothing to really redeem it. The combat was okay but not blowing me away. Generic. Looked nice.
Then after about 5 hours or so I got the full complement of abilities/guns and the combat really started to shine. I was having genuinely fun firefights with groups of enemies, and tried to finish the strike with a couple of randoms. We didn't do it but it was fun trying.
The point being, give the game a while to start to shine.

Gotta hand it to em, I'm loving the Crucible. Wasn't a fan during the Beta, but it's playing so damn well now. I get the "feels like Halo" thing, not that I could explain it either. Just feels right. Probably better saying feels like Bungie lol!
Loving it. Smashing heads left right and centre with my titan. Some poor....Hunter? Tried to golden gun me, and got his face punched in for the trouble. lol so good. Getting pretty irritated by never getting any loot for the matches though, especially when people lower on the scoreboards are getting uncommon stuff. C'mon! I haven't got an uncommon gun besides the terrible machine gun I have
This game was a great purchase, I think it'll be my FPS of choice for the forseeable future. The gunplay is so much more fun than Halo or CoD imo, and the maps in Crucible are bigger than I expected them to be which is nice.
Haven't gone further in the story than the beta yet, but as long as it's no worse than what I've already done I'll probably give this game a solid 8/10.
Query- where should I be going to get the unlock shaders from those codes we had before? I've got one of the engrams, but the rest haven't showed up and neither have the custom shaders. Also, where can I read my grimoire cards?

That happened to me, but for some reason I thought to look yesterday morning at 5:30 and managed to cancel it while it was preparing for shipment. Fortunately, I imagine Amazon will refund you at least the majority of what you paid. There may be a restocking fee though. Amazon is pretty flexible.
This is why Titan Defenders are needed but nooo Warlocks and Hunters had to shun them! Where's your god now?!
It really is.
PS4 Digital? Then it's most likely automatically downloaded. If you don't have access to the vanguard armory at the vanguard quartermaster (in the hangar part of the tower), then go to PSN settings and restore your licenses. Should fix it.

Story in this game is really just terrible in all respects so far ( I'm level 15 ). Missions feel completely disjointed from each other. The ghost have said contradicting things many times. Plot doesn't seem to revolve about anything specific.
I won't go into more specific stuff due to not wanting to spoil anything for people who haven't played it yet. Not that there is really anything to spoil imo.
There's also a ton of other things that just leaves me dumbfounded as to the reasoning for doing it that way. It's honestly up there with vanilla diablo 3 in terms of nonsensical game design.
It's pretty fucking ridiculous how hard and long that fight is.
Also, if the raidbosses relies on add waves like the strike bosses seem to do, then uh yeah...fuck that.

Level 5 with only uncommon arms and chest and just blew through the Last Array mission without even getting into even a little trouble. They toned down the difficulty a ton from Beta
Am I the only one really enjoying it? I didn't expect an open world game with an epic narrative. Just tight Bungie shooting and great art. There's still much to be seen, however.
As a new PS4 owner I have to say the console is beautiful. I really like the UI and everything is quick. The white console is one of the most attractive boxes I've ever owned.
