I just had an end of mission countdown start before I was even done fighting. So damn annoying. I hate feeling rushed.
 
Aaaaand fuck UPS. I'm picking my copy of Destiny up tomorrow morning, just completely lost a day of vacation I used. I'm preordering from Gamestop from now on, done dealing with online preorders.
 
I really don't know what to make of these Strikes. I just spent 30 minutes emptying my guns on a single boss. No changes to the boss' pattern during the fight, no openings for critical damage to make things faster. Nothing, except the occasional fill of minions sent out to make things more of a hell and to drop you ammo because you've ran out of every type of ammo five times by 15 minutes. Just dodging missiles and peeking from behind crates in the hopes that you don't get wiped out after 20 minutes of this torture.

It wasn't challenging, just tedious as fuck. It's been this way for all the Strike missions I've completed thus far (four of them). All of the bosses have just felt like brick walls, XL size versions of normal enemies with inifite health. Consider my expectations for Raids lowered by a significant amount.

Luke Smith, lol. He loves this shit. I impulse purchased the digital version so I will learn to love it haha. The shooting saves Destiny.
 
I just wish there were some variety to the patrol missions/sidequests. Throw in some wildlife to hunt, sparrow or pike races, item crafting, alchemy, etc...

I don't know, some more diversity would've been nice.
Everything you just suggested would have made for awesome additions.

Bungie hire Shinobi.
 
I need online friends to play Destiny with. Send request to PSN username "Kakulin" if you live in the USA. (ping-wise i'm in the DC/MD/VA area) and mention you from NeoGaf. I have a microphone. :-D

<PS4>
 
Borderlands 1 was way rougher than this game, and didn't come into it's own until Borderlands 2. Destiny is already more solid than B1 and varies between "good to great" imo. It's not problem free, but it's more than enough for the first entry in a franchise... and hopefully the dlc will expand on some of the gaps.

Welcome to boss fights in Destiny.
 
I apologize for calling you out a bit in my message, i typed it at work and just got home and realized it was rude, i'm quitting smoking and am just the biggest grump lately.

You're points are of course valid, i'm sorry you're let down with the game. I'm hoping the game opens up more at end game myself, but i'm happy with whats there.

If you lack people to play, i've only played with gaffers myself so far so come join us! we're fun to play w/. None of my friends have jumped into this generations console cycle yet myself. Maybe we can turn you around on the game, or make sure you get enough fun to justify your purchase

yes i broke down and had a smoke after work =/

lol no offence taken, again I am mostly baffled by the omissions than anything else.

I'll add a ton of people from DestinGaf and it will pick up at "end game"
 
Need help Destiny Gaf. Earlier when playing, I opened the in game friends list and one of my friends ( I don't remember which) had an emblem that looked like the legendary symbol for Halo.

I've looked through all of the websites that go over all of the emblems and I can't find anything about this emblem. Am I going crazy?

There are special Bungie emblems for people who have played 4-6 of Bungie's previous games, among other things. I'm not sure of all the specific ones, but they do exist.

Edit- more info here: http://www.bungie.net/en-us/Forum/Post/68856260/0/0/1

If I invite a friend to a fire team and they are in a mission do I go to where they are in the mission or do they come to me?

If you invite them, they quit out of whatever they are doing and join your game. Vice versa if they invite you accept.
 
Well the story missions last until 17ish then it's a matter of getting 20 and getting the gear to do the hard mode of strikes. After that there's the 1 raid and PvP. Not exactly a wealth of content.

What has Bungie been doing since Reach? Titanfall almost had more content and story than this game and they crammed it in 18 months.
 
This game sequestering voice chat only to fireteams is borderline trolling.

I can only think they left it out so that gamers can feel like they've made a difference when they inevitably fix it.
 
Anyone tell me how to get the vanguard armour , redeemed on ps4 and downloaded but in the game at the quartermaster all items are level 20.

Tried the restore licenses in settings but nothing , will have to try again tonight , seems very clunky
Try turning your ps4 completely off, then back on. then check to see under destiny add on items if it's listed there as downloaded. Then restore licenses, turn completely off and on again and check the npc at the tower.

wow, this sounds horrible.
 
Yep, that's basically an MMO boss.

Maybe if you were referring to launch WoW when it launched. But even then, Onyxia had more interesting mechanics. And they never felt liked a drag.

Comparing these boss fights to those found in modern MMOs is offending the latter genre.
 
That Moon strike is not fucking around

So, i poured in 14 hours and despite the gunplay being very good, i'm curious to see how long Destiny's legs are going to be..
 
I went in with relatively low expectations due to not really being a huge fan of what I saw in the alpha/beta. But even then, this game just falls so short of what I was expecting, especially from Bungie.

I genuinely don't understand how this game is what Bungie spend the last 4+ years working on. It's just so full of horrible game design, I'm just comptelely baffled.

Boarderlands 1 was really overlooked by many, but it seems Destiny is getting far more attention (both the good kind and bad^^), so hopeful that gives Bungie both feedback and resources to make a Boarderlands 1 to 2 level jump^^
 
PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT

Those of you that ordered the PS3 edition for the free digital upgrade, you can now begin the downloading the PS4 version through the PSN website. I don't know if you can do this directly from the PS4, but I am now downloading it, using the remote download feature from the website.

Haven't seen this posted yet. Send me to the moon to train with the Wizards if old.
 
Open it? I have a weeklong vacation next week with only Diablo to play through. I get 10 dollars in credit if I don't trade it in, and I have Best Buy gamers for the next hotness. That FIFA thread title is enticing.
 
I beat the game, and I'm seriously disappointed. I love Bungie, but I don't feel Destiny does anything noteworthy for the FPS genre. Perhaps I'm even more disappointed because Bungie has toted Destiny as the next 'Halo'; a game-changer.

Halo already happened. There will never be another 'Halo'.

I find it sad to hear how Destiny was originally conceived as a high fantasy open-world RPG. Bungie has already made their mark on shooters. Destiny feels like a huge case of playing it safe, which isn't what I've come to expect from Bungie. Fundamentally, the game is good. Polished, pretty, the gunplay is what you've come to expect from the studio behind Halo. But nothing more. Forgettable.

Now, marvel at what could have been, had Bungie stuck with the high fantasy genre:

We could have had something really special here, an open-world RPG with Bungie's world design and a new kind of action gameplay.

Yeah it's a growing trend and really not funny. Blizzard is great at this. Release a feature everyone has been clamoring for for years and when you do release it, it's half assed. Only to be fixed after six months. It's a fucking cheap trick to make you return to their game.

Reposting for a new page, in case people don't know yet.
 
Some of these strike bosses are annoying as hell.
They can sit there bullet sponging for literally an hour, 1hit kill you if you try your special attack and have a billion non-stop swarms of adds.
 
Howdy folks. Got my PS4 LE today and am fairly enjoying everything so far. Solo play is kinda shitty, but I had the opportunity to play with a close friend and had much more fun doing that. On that note, I would love to play with some GAFers- in fact this will be my first opportunity to do so.

Titan class, currently lvl 8. PSN is bmc811. I'm a student, so I'm on at odd hours.
 
Ya but impressions? on an mmo-type game that came out yesterday? No ome can properly give there opinion on this tight now. I guess we will have to agree to disagree...
 
I just wish there were some variety to the patrol missions/sidequests. Throw in some wildlife to hunt, sparrow or pike races, item crafting like poisons, bombs or something, alchemy, etc...

I don't know, some more diversity would've been nice.
Seriously. .I can come up with a ton of ideas to increase replay value off the top of my head while playing.

I wish we got gathering levels that increase over time and make collecting spinmetal or whatever slightly faster. Or a chance to gather multiples of an item with a higher gathering skill?

Bosses need to drop something, anything. Ultras and majors need to drop goodies too. Weapon shaders, anything.
