Agreed. The games biggest issue is the lack of loot. The foundation for greatness is there, it just needs to be reworked a bit. Hopefully the expansion brings a ton more loot.

I hope it is like that, though right now I'm relying on a friends copy/account when I visit until mine comes in. I wish it was available from the start, but it's only a week's difference.
I don't mind much of the core gameplay. As I've said before, areas are beautiful, gunplay is fun, and the gameplay loop that I enjoyed from the Alpha and the Beta is intact and better with now having the full game. I'm also confident in the post-game support and hopeful that they'll add in a lot of the social features.
I just don't see why no criticism of anything else in the game can't take place.

Same. Finished the story. Done some Patrol Missions on Earth and Venus for a while at a time (doing missions, getting bounties etc) and not ran into one. I remember running into one in the alpha or beta though.
You need to stay in one area for a while and you will see them. They are on timers and if you just run between areas you won't really be lucky enough to see them.

Because they weren't holding anything back like most thought.
"Oh there's probably stuff missing, the story will make a lot more sense in the full game." Nope
"Oh, those missions were ok, I guess. They must be saving all the good ones for the full game." Same thing, different setting (gorgeous though)
"Can't wait until I get all the cool items" Drop rates are shit house. I found 2 rare items before 20
I still like it though but I'd be lying to myself if I didn't think all those things prior to playing the game.

You would figure Sony would be killin' it with sales of this gane, but my store is selling XB1 copies on a 2:1 basis right now, anyone else in retail getting similar results?
I played the alpha and the beta and really liked them both, but I'm disappointed by the main game. We thought that the beta was offering just a small slice of the type of missions the game would contain, but it's turned out all of the missions consist of you simply defending a ghost while it hacks a computer.
Yeah fuck a videogame retailer for trying to sell you a game of the same genre you were buying. Fucking assholes trying to sell you things you might want.

First Heroic strike. Pray for me.
A lot of PS4 sales likely went to the Bundle. But I still expect the PS4 to come out on top by a fairly healthy margin.
Its exactly like the beta. Thats why. The story is horde mode, A to B, shoot, stop shoot, waves, shoot. Thats it. Other than that in my opinion game is awesome and with friends the "story" is still fun.

I wonder if Bungie doesn't have tweaks to loot, public events, raids and content in general up their sleeve. This is an online shared world so I'd imagine they have a ton of control over what they present to us or have us play over time.
They could be sitting on more missions, weapons etc and we'd have no clue about it as yet (even before expansion packs).

honestly those words get dropped in any thread. If you built up a 50-hour galactic campaign voyage in your head then you'll be disappointed. It's about a 15-hour campaign with plenty of fun to be had with strikes, cruising around exploring, gear grinding, pvp, and raid to come. If you think that sounds like something you'd enjoy, then just play and find out for yourself.

I'm enjoying the game, but they strongly implied during/after the beta that once you leveled up, you would want to come back to the ?? areas, and locked doors. I haven't heard anyone taking about those extra areas being accessible.
They should have said to come back in December if It's DLC. I've been to the Russia vault via glitch and it's even populated with enemies and a dead ghost.
I could be wrong and that is just post end game stuff, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up.
It happen for me twice on the moon strike. You're right.
i didnt go to gamestop at midnight to buy random games now did I?

I don't expect mission content outside of public matches, if you meant anything beefier than that.
With that said, the post release support of this game should be really enjoyable. They've done well in past, more concrete in form games than this, so it should be really healthy support in a game as versatile as this.

I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that the alpha/beta (in my mind, anyway) were to represent a demo of the game, that is, it was just the tip of the destiny iceberg. In reality, nothing really changes (apart from the settings of the various planets), the mission structure becomes extremely repetitive. Not to mention that none of the feedback they received was actually implemented into the came (e.g. social aspects).
Bungie promised the world and delivered an island. Personally, I need to stop giving into the hype. The marketing for this game was unreal.
Rumble is crazy. I'm loving it way more than the other modes.

Just had a couple of disconnects from the tower on X1. Anyone else experiencing issues? Was playing in the crucible just fine for the past hour. First time I'm having issues.

So GAF, I've had an issue where I received a copy of Destiny on Amazon.ca that I thought I had canceled. However, it was only $52 with tax, when compared to the $75 it would cost normally.
Should I play it or return it? While I enjoyed the beta, I didn't feel like it was worth full price.

Look at all of that blue. You must be cruising...saw you at the same place as I was earlier today and I only have one blue (can't even use it since the perk doesn't match my build.

Is there a way to force matchmaking on the daily heroic story? I'm not having a great deal of luck solo so far.
This game is extremely popular. While there are many people who have legitimate concerns and reasons why they dont like the game, you have to consider there are many people who wont for the sole reason that it is extremely popular. If you liked the beta, play it. If you didnt, return it
Only you know the value of your money. For me that's not even two hours of work. For you it could be different. Is 20$ under retail would be a good value to you ? if so keep it, otherwise return it.
Sending you a friends request.
Edit: on second thought, send me the request. PSN is loading too slow for me.
do you want to do the weekly heroic lvl 22 strike? need exotics. need 2 people.

Lol good or bad jesus?
Glad there is a review thread now.
Again I have nothing against people's negative opinions but some of it is clear trolling and it adds nothing to the topic in here. Hopefully they can vent it all out in the review thread.

Sorry man, probably haven't got the equipment to survive that just yet. I've only got one bit of light equipment, plus I've just been dragged back in to clash again. Cheers for the offer though.
