This actually true.
Anyone else finding the pulse rifle really OP?
I find it weak.

So when i was playing i randomly encountered other guardians, was there a way to talk to them? i feel like this game suffers from not being on PC, there's no chat bar or anything

The cutscene you get when you first view the Traveler at the Tower, with the smooth-talking robed robot talking all kinds of ominous nonsense. Cringeworthy, almost.

I just don't think Bungie have very good writers, sadly.

Still! Game is very, very awesome and I can't wait to play more. I just wish they'd nail these parts a little better.

Yes that's exactly the scene I was referring to. The writing is way too earnest.

Welp, I started up another Titan, got him to Level 3, then decided to see what all the fuss was about for the Hunter.

Yeah, I get it now. Definitely a fantastic choice.

Also, Machine Gun or Sniper Rifle for Hunter? If you *HAVE* to pick, choose Sniper Rifle. Every. Time. They are incredible if you're accurate. Crit Hits are huge with them. Dax01 said Machine Gun just because she wants to ensure that she beats you in the Crucible. True story.

Once I fully level my Hunter, I guess I'll try out a Warlock and then, saving the best for last, Titan will rule all.

Welp, sad to see the PVP is exactly the same as Shadow Falls, unload a full clip into another player, he just stands there laughing and one shots you. Fuck that.

I really like the PVE so far, but the one match in multiplayer (moon level) I played was just ok. It feels like a weird mix of an FPS and an MMO battleground. It's weird being able to go on a mount and switch weapons at any time.

Also, yeah, just like battlegrounds in WoW or something, I get one shotted a bunch.

I still enjoyed the PVP, but it's not as good as Bungie's past multiplayer efforts (based on first impression, I'll try it more, hopefully see the other maps).

I didn't hear any of Dinklage during the Alpha and then started to read about his awful VO performance, so I was expecting to be horrified by it during the beta.

I haven't found that at all. Mind you my expectations were low, but I don't mind what he's doing at all. The occasional time something he says will fail to hit the right note, but for the most part it's totally fine.

Anyone have any recommendations for a headphone/mic for use with the PS4 that is similar to the packaged-in Xbox360/Xbox One headsets? Ideally I want something that only covers one ear so I can pipe chat audio to the headphones and still hear TV game audio clearly.

No preference for wired/wireless, I just want something relatively cheap and not necessarily audiophile worthy.​

I kind of wish there was a complex trading system but I know it might not fit Destiny's mission of facilitating exploration and game playing.

So has it been confirmed that strikes, raids, exploration, and story missions will work like they do in the Beta? All just on the map rather than one continuous session? It is going to be a pain trying to do everything on hard right away so I will probably have to explore the world first to level up and grab gear (can exploration be set to hard difficulty?).

I agree. That scene just felt so cliche and overly serious it kind of hurt me. I don't know what the game needs for future installments. A dose of humor? Better scripting? Better VAs? I dunno. It's just not quite there yet.

You can have both machine gun and sniper. If the map isn't large for PVP I would suggest shotgun over sniper. During PVE I always switch out between a shotgun and sniper. (I wish the app actually updated my character when I try to manage my equipment).

Loving the PvP, so much fun.

I'm sucking, but still having a ball.. although am improving most definitely.

Strikes just pissed me off... but a PUG 2 man was never going to be a walk in the park I guess... we kind of asked for it :p
 
Something about the controls feel weird this time. They feel too loose, or something.

I agree. Though to me they don't feel loose, just slow or sluggish? I'm not sure, maybe it's to do with the performance or judder that we're seeing. Turning and aiming just feels....not as good as the alpha.

Oh thank God.. I have been staring at the screen like an idiot.

Are you sure it will continue to download?

Yes, I did it last night. When you quit the Destiny application, you can verify that it continues to download by highlighting the beta in the XMB menu, then press Options and select Information. You can view the download progress here.

Dat feel when I clutched Devils Lair, they all died, I almost died, but fuck me I finally have a super weapon or whatever they are called, and nova bomb, and regular grenade did the job.

How do you use your third tier weapon?

Hold Triangle to switch to it.

Depends, are you talking about in PvE or PvP? In PvE, the pulse rifle is amazing. In PvP, it's not so good because of the charge time.

Quite the opposite in my experiences.

Weird. I've just been running around on that rainy map one-shotting people with it fairly easily. Feels infinitely more useful than any of the primary weapons.

What level are you?

I only got to play it for half an hour this morning, just arrived at The Tower

The controls are so good


How do you take advantage of the clan system?

Yeah, I was worried the combat wouldn't be up to snuff with Halo but it's just as good.

No idea about clans.

This happens every 10 minutes, at least. Since I've downloaded the beta. I have restarted/reset my router, and nothing fixes it. I don't see anyone else having this issue so I'm wondering what the fuck is going on.

Am I alone here?
