Are Xbox One owners just bitter about the exclusives? Or is it because there are less of them?

Seems crazy to see such a disparity for a multi platform game.
It's just all the advertising, same for CoD on Xbox. Everyone just felt Bungie is ignoring the fan base that "made them who they are."

I keep getting nervous about the shipping lol

But then I go an look at my past orders and see that everything usually departs from their shipping centers the night before the release date for me.
 
There are roughly one of us for every three of you.

The exclusives don't help, but I honestly don't care. The strike is all that bugs me. There are enough multiplayer maps and weapons and outfits. Not enough strikes for them to lock one away.

Oh well...

Ah, don't even sweat the strike, brother. We'll all be together on Parity Day.

9.9.15 and there'll be nothing separating any of us under the watchful eye of the Traveler. XBO or PS4, all will stand as one against the Darkness.

Unless raids start requiring more than 125 team members. Then we definitely made the wrong call. If not, though, we're more than okay.

the pvp map is all that bothers me. thankfully its old russia recycled assets rather then something that looks truly new. yes, i'm trying to justify why its ok to be missing out on this content

It's going to be weird when it unlocks in a year. Unless they throw it in with other expansion materials, it's going to be like - oh, woo, we finally have this old map and strike right when the first comet expansion is (hopefully) coming out.

Just a silly long exclusivity period.

I guess it'll be interesting to see how the sales of CoD does by comparison. How was the split for Ghosts?

yeah. crazy long. mp maps last forever, so its painful to be ever so slightly impaired compared to the ps list of maps. oh well.

Are people calling them comets because of how bungie described their timetable or are they like actually involving comets?

I don't think I'm gonna be able to sleep tonight..
 
I can't wait to try the different PVP modes. I really loved the map Blind Watch on Mars but I didn't think control was the best for this map.

looks really nice! and the dogs are getting hyped too! lol
Thanks. Ya, my dogs love Destiny. The big one can barely contain her hype.

Just how they were described in the leaked timetable from the court documents. Although they might use comets so as to save the rest of the solar system for Destiny 2 and 3.

Spoiler: Pluto isn't a planet, it's the anti-Traveler.

without traditional weapon drops and map control, i can see control taking over as my favorite game mode. pure team death match will be kind of halo 4-ish :(

I was part of that fanbase, bought every single halo game and played all of them for years. I was happy Bungie wanted to move on to new IP. I had no interest in them being a Halo factory anymore. I bought a PS4 so I don't feel like they ignored me or their fan base. End rant. Don't want to derail this thread.

Tonight I'm okay (US about to go to bed)...tomorrow night though, in addition to knowing I will be at work until 5pm Tuesday before I can settle in...might go in early and just tell my boss I have to leave early for, umm, "personal reasons."

By that token, can't you say Bungie gave everyone a heads up well before both consoles launched that Destiny was having PS4 exclusive items? I mean at that point it's on the "fanbase that made them" to make a choice.
 
Decided to give sports games a miss till the new year so just bought the digital guardian edition on the xb1. Hoping Bungie deliver the goods on a great story and can't wait to dive in.

Having a huge dilemma on what class to go for though! I enjoyed all three. Decisions, decisions!

Got my beard and my space t-shirt ready for gaming sessions.

I got a XBO and I still don't feel slighted. It's just the way of business. I'm happy they got to make the game they wanted how they wanted. I'm just happy I can play it just as dopely as any other version.

It's a game. If I was more invested, I might not buy/play as an Xbox One user. But it looks great, the beta hooked me, and there is fuck all else to play right now. The timing is really, really great for this release.

:(


also, if anyone wants to add me on PS4 - Anton_lavaire
mind you, im working midnights so I have no fuckin clue what time of day i'll be playing and my skills... I am exceptionally average!
If you do send a invite, make sure to put gaf in there

just quoting myself really quick before I leave for work to state, nothing has changed since I went to sleep....

well, the servers should be up by the time I get home from work, though wont do me any good.

soon though!
 
It was fine, just very fast pace.
It was fun to camp with shotguns at B but it was not fun when the other team was doing it.

Edit: I think Rusted Lands is my favorite map so far for control, with Venus a close second, Mars third and the Moon in last place.

Of course you can say that, it wasn't really shock when this was basically announced at the ps4 reveal I believe. I was just stating what the general consensus was about Destiny being prominent on Playstation platforms here and outside of GAF.

Iron Crucible it was impossible to camp in there. Hunters would just zoom by with their special and destroy.

Don't even get me started on Warlocks. Unless you hit them midair with the shotgun or have a titan close by, it's basically an instant kill.

Edit: That moon map. I do not like.

We're almost at two hundred and fucking fourty pages and the game doesn't release for one more day. Jesus Christ people.

I've been hanging out in the smash bros threads since the roster leak, they have desensitized me to thread speed.

We must go light speed into the final hours of launch
 
NO GUTS, NO GLORY!

NO PAIN, NO GAIN!

ONE FOR ALL!

ALL FOR ONE!

RIDERS ON THE RAAANGE!

...You've officially given me my gameplay mood for playing this game. Thanks :p

This picture is so damn wipeout it's almost making me cry.

After Sony killed studio Liverpool I thought I'd never feel this way again.

Thank you, bungie. Thank you thank you thank you.
