Will finally be able to get some time with the game this evening, bought it yesterday but wasn't able to play it.
I'm kinda worried reading all this negative comments, but then again i very much enjoyed the beta, so i'll probably enjoy this too
 
I've been offered a cheap copy of this, which I previously was going to pass on.

How is it for single player? I don't play online much, but I have a few friends that might be playing.
 
Played an hour or two on my xbone last night, looks great, nice and finely tuned gameplay.

The RPG elements are a little oversimplified and the gameplay is pretty straightforward. Too early to say, but I'm having a blast with it.

Only at level 5 and have played about three or four missions,
 
Received my copy at around 8PM last night. Was real tired after work, but the game still gripped me enough... to stay up until 1AM.

There were server issues. When the connection was dropped, you could remain in the game world, but nothing worked right. Nothing was picked up and enemies kind of warped around.

Noticeable differences from the beta:
  • The game looks better. I think the textures are sharper than they were in the beta. The water effect is also more pronounced.
  • Drop rates are decreased.
  • Merchant loyalty accrual is decreased ):
Game is still awesome though. I hope the initial server issues dissipate soonish.
 
Loved the beta and still love the game but I am disappointed that seemingly nothing has changed from the beta.

I was secretly hoping for some more story exposition and perhaps more varied story objectives but sadly none of that is different either .

Reading these comments about being the next Star Wars e.t.c makes me laugh , that's what you get for overhyping your product as the next big thing.
 
Can't find my preorder-weapons, -ship, -ghost skin, etc.
Vanguard armory is listed as "installed", cannot find a way to redownload it.

anyone else?
 
Just beat the moon boss. Fucking hell that was INTENSE.

Got a badass rare handcannon and rare gloves for it. Also got a rare coat for my Warlock by getting the last chest. It's nice to officially be out of the uncommon gear point of the game.
 
I'm lone wolfing it on this game because whenever I spawn into a story mission, the two other people just always run off and do there own thing. Will that be a problem when the game gets more difficult?

Most find it significantly better with friends. Do you like the feel of Bungie games, but with more of an emphasis on loot and leveling? That may answer the question for you^^
 
I kind of dislike how some of the big bosses are wars of attrition. It's a 20 minute fight you know you're going to win around minute 1. It just takes you 19 more minutes to do it. The music even stopped playing when I was doing the boss on the moon, that's how long it took.

Secondly, I'm like level 14 right now and I'll be hopping on in an hour or so, if people want to play with me (I will use my microphone if you do), invite me on psn my gamertag is

This game is aaawweeessooome! Thanks to using kbrd and mouse for the most part. Really beautiful and exciting and challenging ai. Nice multiplayer maps too. Simply ace.

I'm 33 ...using a xim4 like a console invalid

I want to buy a xim4. does it make you feel like fighting toddlers as an adult in multiplayer?
 
Tried that with two gaffers last night, we got our asses kicked and quit after failing to beat you know who 3 times lol. I need to be a high level for that Strike me thinks.
3 times? Ouch. I beat it with randoms without mics on the first time :p Just got lucky, I guess. We were all 15/16. What level did you try it at?

Don't buy this game for single player. Borderlands was better for just single player imo than destiny. Buy it for coop shenanigangs ;)

Yeah - yesterday a community thingy event happened where some big ass boss just dropped out of nowhere and like 5-6 people tried to kill it. Were it not for the timer, we would eventually have beat him.

btw: is there ANY penalty for dying?
 
All day playing

There is no penalty for dying besides losing your progress. How much progress depends on wether or not you're in a restricted respawning zone. If you're playing with a group and you go down and get revived there is no penalty really.
 
Getting there slowly!

had a fun time just zooming around old russia even though its all the same levels i've played in the beta/alpha so far. i understand see why people might be disappointed if they hadn't checked out the beta/alpha though. co-op is where its at. i could see this being boring if you were playing alone because there isn't much story to drive you along like a normal campaign.

if i saw the trailers and stuff from the past few years and never sampled the game i would have been expecting something a little more...i dunno epic? not sure if that's the right word but this is definitely a lot smaller in scale.

So the only way to read Grimoire card is through bungie's website right? There's no app or anything?

you can read it in the destiny/bungie app for your phone/tablet
 
Soo for those that have completed the story, what is the reef?

It's where the Awoken queen and her asshole brother live..I think you go there twice, probably left out any further interaction so they can make people buy expansions.
 
That....can't be all, can it? I mean there are TONS of materials in this game. It can't all be "trade it in" that makes zero sense.

It seemed like it. I think some of the legendary weapons use some for upgrades, but that might be other materials like the stuff you get for breaking better gear down.

That was rough. We needed Rocket launchers... we did not once make it drop down so we can make higher dmg. FOCUS ON THE LEGS. Also my Headset was not working somehow...
 
Where? Thanx :)

Old Russia - Rock Yards - Do the Chest Loop (youtube the 9/9/14 video not the July 25th one)
Chests have moved around a little, few new placements

I streamed and showed GAFfers how to do it, there were maybe 10+ on, so some saw
 
Lol dat feel. I love the game, but the frame rate is killing me. I pretty much only play 60 fps games, and it's rough going back.

Yep going from playing the last of us for an entire month and then starting this took some getting used to. Turning the camera feels like a blurry mess. Never used to.care about 60fps as was few and far between last gen but now. I'd rather have worse graphics and give me thay smoothness. If anything 60fps adds more to.the look then horrible shit like chromatic aberration.
 
As someone who never really plays online multiplayer is there enough in this for someone wanting to have a solo experience? I have friends with the game, but I game at random times and so don't think I'd be able to play with friends consistently.
 
so are there absolutely any plans about adding in-game clan functions and voice chat at the very least when you're mid mission and randoms join the game in the works at all?

It still boggles my mind the complete inability to find clan members in game.

I have this issue, I'm originally from the USA but now live in Europe, so majority of my friends are on completely different timezones so I find myself gaming solo a ton. Is there enough for a solo experience? For me, yes, but I've had so much more fun when I've been playing with others than when I am playing solo.
