So is there any way to disable the HUD or remove certain elements in the final game?

Angry Joe who was hyped as fuck for this game said "Scale back your hype"

Destiny seems like a grindfest and has a lot repetitive shoot-outs.

What did people expect? Really? This is exactly what I expected coming in from the beta, it's what I'm excited for!

Back from class what did I miss?

Lots of people getting confused over what an FPS-MMO hybrid was gonna be,

Please let us use swords in MP

So much this. I wanna FoH my way into the middle of the enemy team and start spinning round like a madman, screaming HYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH at the top of my lungs.


Looks like the sword suffers a bit from limited attack options. Shame there doesn't appear to be any horizontal swings, jabs etc

 

[hemo memo]

Can you tell me if the PlayStation Exclusive Content sticker on the case is a sticker that you can peel off, or is it actually part of the box art?

Part of the box art.

 

[Rflagg]

I think it's safe to say it's the disc. I mean, digital orders only roll out at midnight.

Such a bummer. :/ O well in my little town I had zero chance of getting a disk copy early anyways.

I am trying my hardest to love this game, and will likely pick it up after work. But I am worried about what I can achieve if I only play till Horizon 2 comes out and we have Sunset Overdrive/MCC. I won't be as committed and will get left behind. I've aired these concerns before.

Same reason I don't like MMOs - they require too much time and take from all of the other games. When I used to play Gunbound, that shit eviscerated my free (and not so free) time.

 

[Z3M0G]

All a matter of opinion. I enjoyed the Alpha and Beta better than Borderlands (and I liked Borderlands for the record).

well..

I mean its all opinion but what I played in the Alpha and the Beta was worlds better then Borderlands 1 and 2.

Same here... but I enjoyed Borderlands for longer than I played the Destiny Beta before I got bored of Borderlands.

I still feel I'll enjoy Destiny much more, for some reason. But I expect lots of comparisons in the coming days. And I think for many, Borderlands will end up coming out on top.

The PVP multiplayer may be this game's saving grace.

xbox one ghost edition is in stock on amazon

goooooooooooo, i placed an order
xbox 360 as well.


PS4/PS3 ghost versions may go up soon since they will cancel those who don't have enough funds in their bank accounts

FUCKER!!! Why did you have to post that??? There goes another $171.51 dollars!!! I already had the Digital Ghost Edition downloaded on my Xbox One too. FUCK. Well, to some fellow Gaf member, I will have a Code for the Season Pass available sometime tomorrow for sale.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Any streams going on?

 

[SJRB]

How the FUCK is everyone and their mom able to play this already?

Any streams going on?

A few...

 

[MasterForm]

So they nerfed my precious Warlock? The Nova Bomb vortex effect was weak in the beta so I'm confused as to why they thought to nerf it. Hopefully, the vortex grenade is still good enough to maintain its god-tier status.

Bungie, why are you trying to keep us Warlocks down?

 

[super-famicom]

Part of the box art.

Eww.

 

[Chamber]

For real. Honestly, I'm thinking of switching my pre-order at Gamestop to Hyrule Warriors or just picking up Diablo III for the PS4. I can always come back later after there's so more realistic impressions of this game and the servers are stable(if they potential go down).

so because the mission are repetitive you are going to pick up a musou game?

now Diablo III is legit one of my favorites ever.

 

[Waylon Drums]

I've never even watched a trailer for this game and the hype has me. I want it!

Well, you finally did it. I just ordered some digital hoop-de-doo edition of this game. DO YOU SEE WHAT YOU PEOPLE DO TO ME?

 

[chainfire95]

I'm trying to decide where to go for the midnight launch. I have my preorder at gamestop but I'm sure Microsoft stores will have a better launch event. I should hang out there and then swing into Gamestop afterwards to pick up my copy perhaps?

 

[Duxxy3]

Is the IGN guy playing alone? The game looks so tedious playing alone. Co-op makes all the difference.

Have to review everything.

 

[Neverwas]

it's awesome seeing someone get ripped apart for valid complaints.

 

[Fushichou187]

Anyone else going with Hunter??

I main'd a Hunter for both the Alpha and Beta and feel more comfortable with that class so I'm going to create a Hunter/Blade Dancer as my first character.

 

[Respect]

Into a 1950's maroon leather armchair with a glass of wine I hope, Respect.

Ha, just water for me, but I can go along with the rest.

 

[El_Chino]

Anybody here also have the Strategy guide on pre-order from Amazon? Has yours been shipped yet?

 

[MattyG]

Still not sure if I want to get this now or wait. I'm just really unsure about how much I'll enjoy it. I'm leaning towards waiting, since this is a long term product for Bungie. It won't be like CoD where if you buy it a few months late, you have a new one coming out soon after.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Hype levels remain at maximum!!

 

[mid83]

I think one of the biggest issues with games like Destiny is the unrealistic expectations people have. This game has been so hyped up, along with some pretty bold promises from Bungie/Activision, that it's nearly impossible for the game to live up to the hype.

For me personally, assuming I get more of what I played during the beta, Maybe I'll run out of content in the next few weeks, but that's ok. There are plenty of other games on my backlog to play while I wait for new content.

My biggest hope is that the content pipeline we hear about comes to fruition.

If nothing else, I'll be in the same boat as far as getting those exact games, so we'll always have each other.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Welp time to go take a huge power nap and get ready for the festivities

 

[Arken2121]

Surprised we don't have a steam group, would be nice.

 

[Foxix Von]

So swords are in the game to some extent? (posted on Gamespots twitter)

Ah. So he is deliberately playing alone. Makes sense.

 

[DeadManWalking]

We gonna need new thread before official release. HYPE IS TOO HUGE!!!!

 

[Hawk269]

What did people expect? Really? This is exactly what I expected coming in from the beta, it's what I'm excited for!

Well, I expected that when you are on Earth, you go to more than just Russia. I mean, it is Earth, you know the planet with so many good locations that would be amazing to explore, but all we get is Russia and for a lot of that it is underground Russia.

That is what I am disappointed in. I would of loved some nice urban city type of environment, you know a really fucked up Los Angeles or Frisco, perhaps Las Vegas all jacked up etc.

 

[N30RYU]

3h and 34 minutes left... T_T

 

[Cuphead]

Time to get the hell out of this thread.

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

My hype levels are still at max, mainly because I pured hours into Crucible during Beta, so any shortfalls the story may have will be made up for in PVP. It's also my understanding that people are still locked out of PvP today.

 

[hillsighed]

Vortex Grenade linger damage reduced by 50% (base 15 to 10) per tick

God damnit, leave me Vortex Grenade ALONE!

 

[Marvel]

Ha, just water for me, but I can go along with the rest.

Well water is very good for ones health, carry on!

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

Not sure why some people are so worried about all the missions being "go here, press square, protect ghost against waves of enemies". The streams I've seen have had a lot of mission variety. Obviously it entails killing a ton of baddies but the mission structure definitely changes up. Lots of boss battles too. I've seen a lot of new enemies that were not in the beta either. My hype has actually increased after watching today's streams.

Assuming the content concerns people had post-beta hold true, I think the biggest issue is that PvE content in Destiny seems pretty thin compared to Borderlands. For people more interested in Destiny's PvE, I can see some disappointment if the game's PvE content is as thin as it seems.

 

[N° 2048]

3 hours? Man...EST time there's so much more left...12 hours to go, AGH.

 

[SharkJAW]

it's awesome seeing someone get ripped apart for valid complaints.

This is the result of the hype machine. For the record, I kind of agree with the points MMaRsu is making, but I enjoyed the beta enough to justify buying.

Otherwise, add me on PSN guys for ole destiny goodness: SharkJAW

 

[KooopaKid]

Watching a stream that is about 6 hours in and on Venus. The missions are super repetitive so far and the enemy variety is seriously lacking. And more importantly I'm not feeling the epicness and interconnectivity of the world.
This game is clearly not for me. My impression is that the word of mouth will quiet down quite fast. It's mainly for Borderlands, Titanfall or Halo (without the charisma) fans.
Those who likes those games, enjoy!

 

[LtOrange]

Not taking tomorrow off was a huge mistake. Work is going to be absolutely brutal tomorrow.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Man, so jelly of all these people playing already

 

[Seibmoz]

Pre Loaded Destiny on Xbox One, how big is the in app download after the first 18 gigs?

 

[PuMa]

3 hours? Man...EST time there's so much more left...12 hours to go, AGH.

Too long to wait. I can't take it.

 

[RebornYeti]

Sitting here at work, day is very slow, and I am literally can't even-ing right now due to my immense hype. I just wanna go Starside.

 

[super-famicom]

Oh shit, I just realized you're Fireclad! For some reason, I didn't know your GAF username.

 

[Marvel]

Yes, waiting for the Amazon delivery guy tomorrow morning is going to suck.

 

[MasterForm]

Yes, waiting for the Amazon delivery guy tomorrow morning is going to suck.

How sure are you that he won't change up his route just on a whim?

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Despite cancelling my pre-order with them and ordering the LE from Tesco, Gamestop UK just sent me a Sparrow DLC code. Weird...

Yeah, man, those boss battles holy god.

 

[ryanthelion123]

I know; many are letting their hype blind them. After watching streams, I am disappointed I just bought a PS4. Might not even get this game.

Lack of variety seems like the biggest issue. I loved Halo because of the unexpected things that can happen and how creative you could be with different guns and vehicles and perks. Perks in this game are press button for automatic kill and guns all look like point and shoot. And well vehicles are almost non-existent.

Cant comment too much on the story so far but doesn't seem to intriguing.
