Here's the thing about Patrol missions, though.

Like, for sure, it sucks that you have to go into a separate mode and not just chip away at them while doing story stuff or whatever, but it seems like they've just formalized grinding. It's repetitive but you're creeping towards cooler shit.

I think Bounties are the kind of thing you can do/accomplish during any mission. I don't know, seems cool to me. (Full disclosure, I just like seeing the logos for different factions. I'd read an in game phone book if it had a cool logo.)

 

[ElzarTheBam]

I was gonna go with Warlock, but some of the videos have convinced me to go with Titan first. SMASH.

This is gonna be my only post in this OT.

But I'm proud of you right now.

 

[Cømet]

Yeahh their twitter suggests it should be with us tommorow, parcel must be with RM, lets wait and see.

That bodes well. Fingers crossed the postie doesn't feel like being a jerk!


EDIT: It just switched to dispatched!



EDIT: Expected delivery date- 11/09 :'(

I stand corrected. I thought people would flock to the more generic (and more boring) class en masse.

And how is Titan the more boring class? I enjoyed it more than Hunter and Warlock.

Beautiful

Haven't played the Beta: how is the gunplay and/or weapon selection affected by the class? Does it matter at all, or can a Warlock use a sniper rifle like a Hunter, a machine gun like a Titan?

 

[Nathan_Drake]

You can go here and watch HiredN00bs twitch http://www.twitch.tv/hiredN00bs

He is downloading it from the application. Exciting times ha

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

WHAT.

THIS IS INCREDIBLE.

DID YOU MAKE THIS.

 

[E92 M3]

Motes are currency for post level 20 advancement.

Ah okay, thanks.

 

[Stoze]

You digital guys - standard or digital guardian?

There is that season pass, which we don't know what will cost separately.

DECISIONS

Expansion pass is $35 separately, expansions without the pass are $20 separately.

All classes can use all guns, no restrictions.

Hey it's my moms birthday!
Who would have known!?

Congrats to your Mom. Give her a hug

Geez, what's your fucking point you're trying to make? You're always negative about Destiny.

I don't like it when people thinking the popularity of Destiny is because of it's marketing campaign. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. The Alpha and the Beta helped give a very positive reception for Destiny.

 

[Kane1345]

I love this

 

[red731]

Guardian! You'll save money!

I want digital edition, but there is no saving money anywhere Europe prices are bonkers. I would be paying so much more than needed!

I went standard personally because I'm not sure of the staying power of the game for me. I'm sure I'll have fun with it over the next few months, but the first DLC is launching in December right after a few other huge games are launching so not sure how much I'll be playing it.

I will buy the standard too I guess. I want to have this digitaly tho...
Or much cheaper physically...

[PhatSaqs]

That is greatness.

Don't get offended. I think he just meant boring as in usual tough space marine style. Ok you can be offended if you want. I don't mind. In fact go ahead and be offended. I want to watch you.

 

[Hoo-doo]

And how is Titan the more boring class? I enjoyed it more than Hunter and Warlock.

It's the most 'standard' FPS archetype. Big guns, lots of armor.

I didn't like playing Titan much in the beta, personally. I'll eventually have one of every class though so i'm not missing out either way.

 

[Tovarisc]

Okay...so glimmer is the main form of currency, and then you have metal you trade in for glimmer or use to upgrade. Then you have marks for different factions that need to be earned in specific ways? Am I missing anything? What about motes of light?

1. Glimmer is main currency for buying upgrades, gear, vanity stuff etc.

2. Materials like Spinmetal (there is others too) are raw material that can be used for upgrades, sold for cash or reputation. I would hold on to them and use them for gear upgrades when needed.

3. Token [Vanguard or Crucible] are gained by doing quests for them, PvP etc. You can gain 100 / week. Used to buy gear.

4. Motes of Light are "end-game currency" that are gained through gaining XP at level 20. Used to buy gear.

5. There is also items called "Strange Coin" that you should hold on to

 

[Broadbandito]

Can't believe we can't get the game unlocked until 12 am pst. I really wanted to go digital but I would rather play at 12:30 am tonight. Physical it is! yay gas!

 

[Messiek]

I must ... resist ... watching ... Livestreams.

 

[NoTacos]

You digital guys - standard or digital guardian?

There is that season pass, which we don't know what will cost separately.

DECISIONS

You save $10 on the first season pass when it's included with the digital guardian edition (basically $30 for the pass). The season pass by itself is $35. Each dlc separately will cost you $20 ($40 altogether if bought separately).

 

[BokehKing]

Because he looks like master chief and master chief is boring/generic/last gen (imo)

Quoting so more people see this.

 

[purg3]

fucking sick. I want a poster sized version of this.

 

[Slowdive]

Don't know if it's been posted but the Videogamer stream is pretty great.

 

[LifEndz]

Didn't think anything could get me to replace the Saints schedule as the wallpaper on my ipad, but then I saw this. Great work. Can you make more?

 

[Oni3298]

BAH! My payment from Amazon was declined because the card I used to preorder it months and months ago no longer works... After I chose a new payment method, I was informed that the shipping changed ti be delivered this Thursday.

Eff that.

I had to cancel and preorder from Gamestop instead...

 

[Cuphead]

Framed nicely hnng need!

SHOTS FIRED!!!

 

[Beefy]

Has Amazon shipped anyones PS4 copy yet? They shipped out my XBone version on Sunday but no update on my PS4 version. Seems kinda odd that they did that.

Yep mines at the London distribution centre.

 

[Gaz_RB]

This is gonna be my only post in this OT.

But I'm proud of you right now.

Elzar pls respond to this

 

[Marvel]

Don't know if it's been posted but the Videogamer stream is pretty great.

I want to watch, but will not.

Oh and "Where is Jessica Hyde?"

 

[Respect]

Very nice! (I'm guessing you got your next situation sorted out then?)

 

[JigglesBunny]

This wait.
It hurts.
I'm staring at the countdown timer.
And it hurts.

 

[MistaPropella]

Did anyone pre-ordered the game from NA PS Store??
How much time left for NA digital download to unlock??

(

don't know why it shows me the german Title, I bought it on the US PS Store and my PS4 is also set to english Language

 

[SDCowboy]

Where'd you find this?

BLERGH, iPhone cuts off the bottom I HATE YOU IPHONE

 

[Cuphead]

The gamespot stream right now...this cave looks so great

 

[LifEndz]

Yeah, it'd be amazing if this was included in with the game. I'd probably frame it.

 

[UnluckyKate]

Anyone streaming ? Will watch you play. And comment. And love you.

 

[Respect]

Could you confirm if the spec lock-in option is now extinct or is it still there?

 

[Tamanon]

Most video game sites are streaming right now. GiantBomb's stream has been pretty good and they just passed most of the beta stuff.

 

[purg3]

YES.

 

[MMaRsu]

So Explore mode is now Patrol mode?

I guess if there's nothing to explore they can hardly call it explore mode.

More like patrol mode where all you do is shoot creatures and do boring missions.

 

[ecurbj]

daym dude!

how many people here are getting multiple versions of the game?

I got the PS4 and Xbox One Limited Editions shipping soon. So that makes another person

So cool.
