It just doesn't feel that way for me. The minute-to-minute gameplay for me boils down to "shoot a guy in the head until my clip is empty, take cover and reload, then go scrounge for more universal ammo packs because I'm already low". If the enemies are really giving me a hard time, it just means spending lots of time waiting in cover while my shields recharge or running a relay race between the few viable cover points.

The people who loved the beta pretty much are the ones who love it now. The second group is primarily new posters. The DGAF regulars are playing the game. We,ve been on most of the day.
I don't know why this is. Are you playing on hard?
The minute to minute stuff is superb, it's one of the things they actually nailed.
I bought the digital guardian edition, I have no code.

Eh.
Plwnty of ppl who played the beta and are disappointed in what the full game offers, and lacks.
Nothing wrong with playing on hard. I only play the game on hard, normal diff is not much of a challenge otherwise.
Pretty sure dissenting opinions are allowed. I don't believe this game will review as well as expected. The team over at GiantBomb seemed to imply it was supremely mediocre.
That's not even true. A lot of people who liked the beta expected more from the main game. I think any general blanket statements may fall into the assumptions trap.The people who loved the beta pretty much are the ones who love it now. The second group is primarily new posters.

I loved the beta, I am not enjoying the main game.

Enemies go down like weeds if you headshot them. Emptying clips? Doesn't match my experience at all. Change your sensitivity? Practice more?
We were laughing earlier in game that on e you get the touch, they fall like dominoes! LOL

It's like bungie never learns about caps in their games, reach credit caps and now leveling caps on a WEEK basis? no.gif
Maybe what you view as problems, other people don't also view as problems...hm? You should remind yourself that this is all your own opinion.
Go to google.com, type in Destiny E3 and go to news. There are tens of blog posts with insane article titles and talk of how it will be the biggest game of this year, maybe even bigger than any game before it etc.
I mean, there is no reason to be annoyed with anyone else for being hyped, but that's not what disappointment is.. the disappointment is that people pre-ordered this game despite not really knowing if they would enjoy it or not, and even after playing the beta, saying "lol Destiny sux" got "lol its just beta n00b" comments in reply.
I'm lucky to be able to play Destiny from gamestop money personally. It's not a game I wouldn't play for free*
*at least not anymore, I posted a while back that like Warframe I don't care for it, but Venus changed all of that

Didn't happen once during beta or alpha and I got right on and played TLOU:R after getting kicked. So no, not network related.

Sucks man. For the most part, we all are.
Well all I can say is it's not a common thing that you're experiencing. This has been the smoothest online launch so far.
Seems to me that people are pretty split on the game. You are spinning this pretty hard.
That's fine but it has nothing to do with someone being a troll.

nothing like a quick 20 minutes in explore doing some of the missions. God I want it to be friday already so I can spend my 3 day weekend playing.
This is what really caused me to hesitate on pulling the trigger, and not just buy it going in blind.
Faith being something that is earned, by any rational measure, was in rather short supply, upon the announcement of two "large" DLC packs prior to initial release. I like to buy games with all the trimmings, fullstop, at disc price, rather than be gamed by content trimmed for future fleecing. But I'm old school, like that.
I am keeping an open mind, and hoping that more actual gameplay will be discovered, soon.
Pretty big assumption to say the DLC will be good value when we know nothing about it. Funny how you skimmed over the troll comments as well.
I agree. I think it's just the vocal minority knocking the game. The rest of us are out there actually playing...because it's awesome.
You should be a politician bro!
I just expected to be doing more than clearing an area of enemies, deploying my ghost so he can scan a computer, and then depend the ghost over and over again. It is disappointing, but I'm sure Destiny 2 will be much better.

I find myself agreeing with most of the impressions in here: an overall solid package with solid, fun gameplay (that's better with friends), that is hampered by an absolutely terrible story and repetitive, boring missions.
I'll stick with it, and I'm intrigued to play more, but I think once I wrap up the story, I'll be done with it.

That Rab Florence article just sold me on the game. Damn!
If it's lots of "Halo combat moments", I'm in.

Quick question, I am not a big COD type fps fan. I'm more of a fan of quake 2 days on the PC. I haven't picked up a console FPS in ages. Destiny has me HIGHLY intrigued. I dont like single player scripted nonsense. I am more of a straight gameplay fan. Think I'm a good fit? Good cop-op/ and more importantly PVP modes are what I'm looking for. I used to love me some CTF and team fortress.
There are later enemies who are uh, much tougher to headshot.
You misunderstand. I was making sure he was playing on Hard because the mode has better encounters, the AI seems to come to life more.
Feels like they tightened up the controls a bit since the beta. By tighten I mean the aiming feels much less floaty. Turn speed is slower, stiffer and aiming for headshots actually feels more dialed in. The pulse rifle rate of fire much slower but now much more effective in PvP. It's a lot more like a BR now. Far less kickback and slower to fire.

All I go is by the posts of DGAF and the talk during party chats. It's not evenly split here or in game.
Mainly because you aren't supposed to headshot them...seriously it takes some work to stop headshotting enemies...engrained into my fingers.
The Halo comparison ends at how the gunplay feels and stops at enemy and weapon variety. You won't hate this game if you love Halo, whether you think it is as good or not. Most strike missions are basically RPG versions of that final boss from Halo 2.
Well, Bundie did say they want "turn [FPS] on its head again" with Destiny.

Gaf is the only place I've seen where people have come to voice reasonable dissent. But go anywhere else, and it's another damn story. Why do some people hate this game? It's not even that they dislike it, but they are actively and aggressive dismissing it on an emotional level. I don't really understand why that is happening, if you don't like them game, alright. but people are making sure other people don't like the game and that no one likes it. again, that's largely outside of gaf. This is like bioshock Inifinite levels of backlash.
Right on!

Nah, the list "I like A, B, and C, but man I really do not like E, F, G..." are normally met with "Really? Well I thought that..." kind of responses (not always. Nerves are wack on launch week^^). It is the hyperbole comments that are usually getting the troll treatment (Destiny is a criminal offense being my personal favorite^^). Regardless, it is best to take your real issues and feedback to the Bungie site so they can start work on the ones they can (Chat, UI, etc) as soon as possible^^

Definitely, but I'm not emptying clips in them. Let alone having to scrounge for clips.

Guys, finished up my unboxing vid last night. Can you guys give it some love?

I am still early in the story, the enemies are stronger so far, thats about it. I dont think I can say much until after the story.

I was surprised to come into this thread yesterday afternoon and find how mixed the reactions were. Then I played it and the issues seem warranted.
No one is saying this is a horrible game. Some of us just feel it's a disappointing experience considering Bungie's previous efforts.
The gameplay is there but I have yet to feel like I have experienced a Halo: Combat Evolved moment.

Maybe not common, but it's happening. Like I said, I'll wait til the weekend, hopefully it's better by then. Anyways, I'm only 5 weeks away on TLOU multiplayer from going Platinum! Til then.
I meant by the way you said "for the most part, we all". I love that, I might use it myself one day.
But yeah from the words of my friend, "Destiny is booty... OH I GOT A NEW SCOUT RIFLE BRO!"
Yeah. Lol. I was more referring to the space turtles tho. Sometimes they can be smart with those shields.
Man, that's a really apt comparison. I despised that fight.
I didn't like Halo much at all, and I love Destiny so far. Completely different games.
No shit mate, thanks for explaining opinions to me. You know this is a place to have discussions about opinions. Mind = Blown.

For those of us who played a mmo, this game is not even mmo light. There is no reason to even communicate with the 3 other people randomly on the map. They should have done this like guild wars with actual towns and hubs in each planet to at least fake some sort of feeling alive. Fun game, but its just halo with better coop. No hubs, no reason to explore, very laughable amount of variety in weapons and enemies.
I'm curious, if an mmo can make countless different enemy types within the same amount of time that it took bungie to developed destiny... Then why is the game so bland and unimagined??? Could have been so much more.
In all honesty though, I believe its a case of "cross gen"... Xbox 360 and ps3 held back their ambition, which is why the game is so empty. Maybe?
