Hi, I'm nortonff. I spend my life going into threads to say that I don't care about the topic of the thread. It's a really good use of my time.
It's so fucking expensive in Brazil...around R$210,00
How would this be if I were to play it as a single-player game? Still connected to the internet, mind you, but I'm not one of these "rock a headset and talk to people while I play" gamers. Is it playable alone? Does it require communication? Does it have random matchmaking and if so, will people be pissed at me for playing withput talking?
I played through Diablo 3 multiple times solo without problem, and thought it was very fun.

Cool, it's reviewing well so far. I expected to see 7s and 8s.
I had not been following the progress leading up to release, but picked this up to play with friends. I only have a few hours in, but am liking the change of pace myself.

I agree with you. However, in their defense the Destiny BETA was pretty much on point with what you got within the first year.
More or less to their point, you should know what to expect from this game by playing the BETA. Although i think it's safe to say you could expect more.
Im still have a lot of question..
1) Is good for a solo player?
2) Is repetitive?
3) Doest it has good campaign with and end?
4) I really hate enemies hordse that come to you time after time only to keep you busy and that creates a fake difficulty. Does it have this kind of thing?
5) How is the difficulty?
I hope somebody can help me with this questions...

A great start, I think is going to end with a MC of 80-85 which is really good.

I have severe mic anxiety and I've played with randoms a bunch of times with no issue. Might become a problem as the game progresses but it seems to work without much communication between players.

it is "less expensive" but not "not expensive" =/

if you multiply for the dollar price, it is a little less than $60, so its not expensive if you think ... but still sucks for people that used to pay R$150 for a game

Must admit, I didn't expect a 90+ average.

exactly...I'll wait for the price to drop a little.
Must admit, I didn't expect a 90+ average.
It's unlikely to stay at that number, though. Less than 10 scores have been reported.
I've completely cleared 4 areas of the map and all collectables in them and the side missions have not got any better. Thankfully.....the story missions are decent.
But holy shit at the bullet sponges on hard mode missions. I honsetly though some of destiny's mobs took some damage but these guys take the cake. 5 clips to take down a standard purple in a mission......is fucking insane, they could have done a little better design on that. You can make difficult encounters thats not just numbers of enemies and them taking all your ammo to take down.

Great game and worth the praise from reviewers. So much better than that other game 
Must admit, I didn't expect a 90+ average.
It's one had 7 reviews. That wont last. It'll be mid to high 80's

See above.
I remember being laughed at because I said that while it is an Ubisoft-published title, it's more importantly made by Massive. This might be their first console game, but they always deliver.

It feels like a mix of some of my favourite mil-simesque combat games: Freedom Fighters, Pay Day 2 and Splinter Cell.
Venturing around the PVE area in co-op is quite fun. DZ coop is off the charts fun.
DZ solo is hilarious, as long as you don't get too annoyed at being hunted for sport.

1. I'm having fun doing solo missions and being a lone wolf in the dark zones.
2. Yes.
3. I haven't finished it yet, but I'm enjoying the story. The collectables also tell small stories that have added to the world. I've really enjoyed collecting and listening to them.
4. You'll notice that a bit in the Dark Zones, but I didn't really notice it outside.
5. Depends. It's has RPG type leveling and gear so you could outlevel the area that you're in. No clue what happens when you hit end game.
YMMV.
Also I don't know what the hell Giantbomb was talking about how this game has no humor in it. The people who give you the side quests at the safe houses have been exactly that if you listen to them as they're briefing you on the missions. Well, at least you can tell they're trying. I found some pretty humorous.

After playing it for hours and hours, i can't imagine people really giving it a bad score.
Maybe if they think the gameplay is a bit repetitive.. But wow, it's a great game.
A shame the character creator is so lackluster.
yes but it's MUCH more fun in a team of 4. There is a story, don't expect much. However, you can find footage (intell) throughout the game that tells you more about the story. Those vids are pretty great. And you can find "echoes". Spots that carry memories of what happened.

WOW! Thanks!
I will maybe buy it.
One last question? How is the machmaking? In Destiny I felt like I joined a troope but I did the missions alone at the end (The were doing their own missions in the same map. Is the same here?

I really want to see GiantBomb and Sterling's reviews.
Matchmaking works very solid but playing with friends is even more fun the Voip sound quality is damn good in this game.

Oh man I may have to get this game.
I have a feeling Jeff is going to sour on the game by the end. He's pretty hard to please!

That's what I'm thinking haha. I'm really interested if it wears out its welcome with him. Is he actually writing the review?

Motorcycles, which they already have a decent template for thanks to Watch Dogs.
And I think it would work as the streets are cluttered enough people could not just fly down them, but not cluttered enough they could not get around things if they were driving slower.

the end game is my concern.
Is there a satisfying ending to this?
