WOOP WOOP found a new place to climb

 

[The Lamonster]

Haven't played the Alpha/Beta myself, but it does not appear to be so.

Worst thing about this game IMO

 

[Icyflamez96]

If you guys hate the vehicles on the moon map, then I suggest you use a rocket launcher for the heavy. It works well.

 

[crappybannedjunior999999]

I'm in total agreement with you. It's a shame they no longer own the rights to the series :*(

You shall forevermore be known as The Dreamcrusher to me. You sir, have unintentionally ruined my deepest desire, a new Bungie Myth game.

I seriously did not know this.

 

[Scrupulous]

Just had my first show down with a Devil Walker tank that thing was a beast to take down but an awesome fight nonetheless.

 

[Icyflamez96]

Bungie are such teases man. The later game gear is just plain phenomenal

Oh my god that is good stuff

 

[Samus4145]

Boo, just looted a Level 10 Rare Helmet. Bungie is a tease!

 

[NullPointer]

This game really makes me appreciate the DS4. Perfect controller.

If only we could disable the auto-aim. The game doesn't need it.

 

[GoodMorning]

Has anyone else not been able to connect to the game world at all? I played literally 10 seconds, got dropped, and haven't been able to connect again. I've opened ports, reset my network settings and all that non-sense and nothing :/ any help?

 

[The Librarian]

If only we could disable the auto-aim. The game doesn't need it.

You mean aim assist? Because there's no auto-aim.

And I don't even notice the aim assist.

 

[Hindle]

So does Destiny have vehicular based combat like Halo? The different vehicles really helped make Halo world class, the Banshee, Warthog etc. Im hoping Destiny has its equivalents.

 

[Santiako]

Cmon, the aim assist is extremely generous, if you don't see it you are choosing to ignore it.

 

[alr1ght]

Bungie games have always had tons of autoaim. I definitely prefer how Halo plays compared to this, but it's not bad.

 

[pantsmith]

I know, I know. I died a little bit when it happened.

The good news is its not like 2K is doing anything with the IP. Who's to say they don't buy it back some day (however unlikely)?

 

[NullPointer]

Sure - though to be honest I'm not up on the particulars. Its the magnetism I notice most where my aim is moved without my input to follow an enemy who has run past.

I'm very much used to Killzone on the PS4 though so if anything I've been spoiled.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

There's one or two offensive vehicles so far. But doubt it'll be a vehicle fest like Halo.

 

[Orayn]

Yeah, I find the aim assist to be pretty sticky, though it's usually not overly distracting. Mostly comes in the form of your reticle slowing down over enemies, or following moving enemies when using ADS.

 

[phoenix296]

Playing this reminds me how much I dislike playing shooters on a controller.

 

[The Librarian]

Cmon, the aim assist is extremely generous, if you don't see it you are choosing to ignore it.

I am? Well, since you know everything about how I play...

 

[Maybesew]

Are the heavy weapons underwhelming? Or should I have chosen the rocket launcher instead of the machine gun? The damage from the machine gun doesn't seem to be much more than my regular rifle.

 

[Messofanego]

Cmon, the aim assist is extremely generous, if you don't see it you are choosing to ignore it.

It's really obvious and generous. I don't mind it because Halo had huge amounts of it but this is definitely a console game with not much strafing allowed and hipfire not as rewarded compared to ADS.

 

[Hindle]

Doesn't seem that way. The vehicles in Halo really opened up each encounter in terms of options.

Thanks for the answer

 

[cresto]

The aim assist is a lot more noticeable in SP/FR then MP. I would like the options to be a little more fleshed out and user friendly for more customization like that. Aim assist normally hampers me than help

 

[TimeEffect]

Played some more to test out ADS, and yeah, ADS > hipfire a vast majority of the time. There is just so much inaccuracy in hipfiring that it becomes useless. This is total contradictory to the jumpy nature of the game.

I absolutely feel like they messed up here, as you pretty much have no choice but to rely on ADS.

The precision of ADS can drop an enemy incredibly fast, and if you're trying to hipfire, you are guaranteed to miss your shots.

I really hope this gets changed. Hipfiring should be the dominant style of play, especially with how much jumping and floating and health there is.

ADS should be used for those mid-long distances where you need that precision.

Even though ADS removes radar and slows you down, you are much more likely to finish off an enemy by ADSing right in front of them. It just does not feel right.

With ADS, you also go down a whole lot faster, but with hipfiring, the gameplay feels just about right, minus the inaccuracy. If they can make hipfire more viable, but not as precise as ADS, it'd make TTK and mobility much more smoother/fun IMO.

 

[katsubento]

I'm totally loving this. I played a bit more last night with a Titan which at first I did worse than the Hunter with. But I stick with it and now I'm loving their Super Smash.

 

[Shanlei91]

Cmon, the aim assist is extremely generous, if you don't see it you are choosing to ignore it.

But I feel so pro when I use it!

I've only had one issue so far where an enemy ran behind another enemy, I was pointing my sniper rifle at, and the aim flung around.

Wolfenstein: TNO had a really nice balance, IMO. That's what more modern games should strive for.

 

[The Lamonster]

Really hope I can map melee button in the Xbox versions.

 

[Ice Lightning]

Worst thing about this game IMO

I know nothing for coding, but why don't more games have fully customizable controls? I just want to assign the actions to the buttons I want to.

 

[twilitesparklemotion]

I challenge to a "how many people can you kill with your super" competition.

No titans allowed.

I iced five (or "generated 5 orbs of light") with my Warlock super.

God, what a fuckin' good game. Hey, are any of you playing with each other? How? I'm in Destiny-GAF NA East 3.

 

[Two Words]

ADS should turn off aim assist.

dont hold your breath, its unlikely bungie are going to be changing it but i agree with everything u said. looks like i am just gona have to wait for halo 5 beta

 

[Slime]

FINALLY got to play it for a bit after a bunch of distractions and connection mishaps.

It was neat finally seeing the lore in-context after being teased with it for so long. It was almost surreal to have an in-game source just flat-out saying "you're dead!" right off the bat. OK, then!

I told myself I was going to dig into the content slowly to over the course of the beta, but I don't see how that's possible. Case in point: after shutting down my PS4 to come on here and type this, I'm off to play for another couple hours. Bungie, why do you do this to me!?

 

[Schweinehund]

Dinklage voice so much better than the alpha. The names of things grate my ears still, it's like they're afraid of coming up with new proper nouns.

 

[The Lamonster]

Warlock Q: What do orbs of light do? How do I use them? How do I buff teammates?

 

[Oozer3993]

I need to check against the stuff I recorded during the Alpha, but there appears to be a healthy amount of new music here. I just need to figure out a way to get the music from the Devil's Lair Strike and the final part of The Last Array.

 

[Orayn]

Warlock Q: What do orbs of light do? How do I use them? How do I buff teammates?

Every class generates orbs of light when they use their super ability. Other people can pick them up and have their super ability recharge faster.

 

[Uthred]

So its more or less confirmed progress will be reset at the end of the beta, I wonder will that include the Grimoire?

It's important to say this stuff now so maybe they can change possibly change it for the sequel.

 

[Woorloog]

How many characters one can make and can one delete them (don't see delete button, i have only one character)??

 

[crappybannedjunior999999]

So its more or less confirmed progress will be reset at the end of the beta, I wonder will that include the Grimoire?

Where?

 

[Mr. Lemming]

I remember during the F&F period I had this one Warlock guy follow me around while I made my way to a story objective. Instead of taking the road that slopes up to the building with the huge satellite dish, I jumped up to where I needed to be through a collapsed section of the hill it was on.

The guy who had the Warlock was having such a hard time following me up the wall because of the glide. It was really funny to watch.

 

[The Librarian]

Yeah aim assist is obvious. No way you can not notice it.

In all the versions of the game I've played I don't remember my reticule being pulled from one enemy to the next.

So, I guess I haven't noticed it.

Awesome! You should edit a nuke going off after the flash. Dat power.

 

[Orayn]

How does that game do it?

ADS doesn't increase your actual accuracy by very much, it's mostly there for zooming in. Hip-fire accuracy also resets to normal very quickly after you stop firing, as opposed to something like Borderlands or CoD where your reticle will stay expanded for several seconds after firing a long burst from the hip.

In all the versions of the game I've played I don't remember my reticule being pulled from one enemy to the next.

So, I guess I haven't noticed it.

In my experience it only "pulls" if you're aiming down the sights at a target that starts moving.

Everywhere else it mostly manifests as your aiming speed slowing down when your crosshairs are on an enemy. Try sweeping your camera across a single enemy some time.

 

[TimeEffect]

What is up with some of these crucible weapons in the Tower?

300+ damage for a shotgun... I hope these are Heavy weapons and not side weapons, because that is some insane damage.

 

[Alucrid]

Fuck, Golden Gun is so good in MP. Guaranteed triple kill.

 

[mindsale]

I played a short while last night, and I am enamored of this game. I didn't think it would play nearly as smoothly as it does, but everything feels great. I love the customization options, the character models all look really good.
