Luckily your progress will seamlessly transfer between the two. I was in the same boat during the Beta, and I loved how that worked.

My bundle still hasn't shipped & its 5:40 pm 
Because the first 4-5 hours with not everyone online is the whole game? Anyone who didn't expect grinding didn't play the Alpha/Beta to closely...
Yes I believe it is. I don't know have an Xbox one but I've read plenty of stuff that has been saying it is.

Fuck. Exactly what I feared.
PVP it is
. Thank GOD I didnt buy the 80 dollars version. Not buying any additional DLC packs before I even know what's in them.
I'm sure it won't be beards, or actual improvements to the gameplay.
Because irrational hype is the devil!

When will the Destiny profile for the PS4 Gold headset come out? What about the iPad-optimized version of the companion app?

Dunno, I would assume so.
Watching an XB1 stream and it looks fine, and framerate seems locked.
Obviously not a digital foundry analysis though.

That was pretty evident from the alpha and beta though. If people were expecting something else, I have a hard time understanding what they took away from the alpha/beta in terms of what Destiny was about gameplay wise.

Was thinking just 12 more hours until I play. Then I noticed the servers don't go live in the U.S. until 3 a.m. EST.
...
I'm going to scream at a stranger.

Got a message from Amazon saying my white ps4 bundle pre-order didnt go through because I didnt have enough funds.
I'm paying off my Gamestop white ps4 today and forgot I had pre-ordered from amazon has a back up ages ago! Good thing I didn't end up with two.

Servers go live for everyone at the same time. Unless you're referring to digital?
I will never trust people who rely on clicks to feed them because it's always the same thing:
before game comes out = OMG IT'S THE BEST HERE WATCHA LL MY VIDEOS OF IT CLICK THEM ALL!
game comes out = OMG THIS IS NOT AS GOOD AS THEY SAID IT WOULD BE HRE WATCH MY VIDEOS WHERE I SHOW HOW IT'S NOT SO GOOD CLICK THEM!

I figured it was this to but this is an amazing game to hold me over until the amazing shadows of mordor
When Bungie get's around to it... not sure anyone knows for sure.

I think I'll wait a week to take any of these reviews as credible. A lot of these guys are throwing up vids for the hits but the content and journalism just isn't there yet. You can't review a game after playing it for a few hours.

Pretty much everybody who I've seen stream/ or have this game say it's not worth the hype. That's dissapointing but expected.
about 7 pounds of hype and a liter of yee

Sounds about right after a game gets released. How long will it take for it to become awesome again?
I'm getting my limited edition and nobody is stopping me.
There are people who say Warframe is a shitty grindy piece of shit game and I absolutely adore it and have played it for almost 50 hours in the last week.
Opinions man,how do they work.
Yeah, that's actually pretty obvious from the beta. I'm fine with that, since I find the combat to be super satisfying, but from a variety standpoint when it comes to content/enemies/etc, could be off putting for some people.

Everybody was saying during the beta
Just like the guns, where are the exotic weapons? It's cool we get a few skills per gun and per class, but honestly why are there no alien weapons like a needler type gun or whatever?
I'm actually seriously bummed out I bought this game because I'm not even sure anymore if it's the game it was hyped up to be. It's honestly too light on content. Yes I haven't played the full game but we can make a good assumption.
It was all evident from the hyping that Bungie did, but couldn't come close to reaching "See that map over there? I can walk over there RIGHT NOW if I wanted". Shit like that.

It's kind of amazing how little they mention the key differentiators; the world of the game, the armor and weapons you can get, etc.
It's like all these "this is boring" takes on the game are just evaluating the lines of code that guide encounter rates and damage and not looking at anything built around it.

The mixture of trolling and possible spoilers has turned this thread a bit crappy so imma back out. Godspeed to the regulars and have fun if you're playing!
I hope Karl Hawk doesn't get even higher blood pressure from this.
This is one game I don't give a shit about reviews and impressions. I've played 40 hours of it already. I know exactly what I'm getting into and why I'm excited for it.
Yeaaah...I'm with you.The mixture of trolling and possible spoilers has turned this thread a bit crappy so imma back out. Godspeed to the regulars and have fun if you're playing!
See you all on the other side everyone!

I think Warframe is grindy as fuck, but the gameplay is pretty rad so I can see why people like it
Also it's better if you spend money
That's exactly how I feel. Not that I even pay attention to reviews anymore, if I want a game I'm going to get it no matter what reviews say. I think before any of these guys say don't get hyped or anything they should play the game a little longer rather then just a couple hours.
I'll be fine, buddy.

Well wasn't that apparent from the Beta?
BiGBoSSMk23
A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
Right? It's like a small hodge podge of game genres blended in a fresh take on the standard FPS but it's not a revolution like some journos are calling it.
It lacks the scope in my opinion. It's gotta be truly open ended if it wants to warrant that. Like, each hub would have to be its own living open world. With instances to discover and explore, not having to access bigger events from menus.
Opening a Strike mission from the main menu instead of randomly finding it while trekking through an unexplored area doesn't enhance the feeling of being a frontiersman-like Guardian... y'know? It feels kinda last-gen TBH.
What I've played, it's neat, but not that mind boggling. Can't believe the aesthetics has gotten people so enamored.
This wouldn't be a problem if Bungie was straight forward with what the game was instead of getting people hyped and then disappointed.

..............
What
Well, it is still a last gen game since those consoles had to be in mind through development. So sadly it is pretty inevitable it'll be held back.
