Sound and quality-wise, does anyone know what the Creative Aurvana Live!/Audio Technica M-50's are compared to the Gold headset?

Very, very good.
Can't you tell? The resemblance is obvious.

I wish NeoGaf had an auto refresh feature that showed up every time someone new posts...

I think this is the biggest problem with Destiny because a lot of people are not sure what it is. This review is complaining it lacks the qualities found in MMO's, yet is yearning for stuff like splitscreen.
Although the one thing I will agree with him on is the bestiary seems limited.

How it is hurting PDT retailers at all? it's not like people are crossing time zones to buy a copy elsewhere then drive back home
Glad you're enjoying it and thanks for posting!
So you've played mostly PVP, have barely touched PVE, and have already made it to level 20? Interesting... have you earned any cool loot simply by playing Crucible?
Ehhhh, sorta. I mean the real meat of the halo universe is in it's expanded universe material. A lot of the stuff my Eric Nylund is fantastic. While the universe itself can be very compelling, the stuff presented in the actual games can be a little lackluster but definitely enjoyable.
Except for Halo 4. Halo 4 was a fucking trainwreck.
I'm worried about the narrative but I'm also the type of person that became so engrossed in Dark Souls narrative and finding the items and the areas that gave the hints. I feel like the Grimoire cards, the dead ghosts and the flavor text on some of the equipment will scratch this itch, but it's only an assumption.
For those who have played the game, what do you think?

Yes, it is definitely a neat addition. I remember Bungie mentioning they liked how one would get attached to their gun in Borderlands (no euphemisms peeps, keep it clean).
Wow. It seems pretty easy to level up. Isn't 20 the cap?
Confused. When does west coast USA get to play digital?
Seems like a reverse digital penalty if later than midnight west coast time.
This game will be super btw. The fact that I am in the Sierra mountains hiking and can't play till Saturday has no bearing on my smugness. Digital preorder here. Hunter ftw.

GUYS, I still don't know if I want to get this. I'm not 100% hyped for it, but I feel like it's too big of a deal to pass up on. I'm just worried that it'll be too repetitive or that I'll get bored with it quickly.
If I do get it, I feel like I should go to the midnight launch in case they sell out, but I have class at 8 tomorrow. Help me
GAF, you're my only hope.

He means why would anyone buy a physical copy in PDT at midnight when you could play a copy at home at 9. The main drawback of the physical midnight release is you actually have to go, stand in line to pick it up, and go back home.
30 is the cap. You can get to 20 by leveling up, 30 is obtained by increasing the "Light" stat on your gear.
Is the Vanguard worth it? Or typical preorder items that get outclassed quickly?
I've rarely enjoyed Halo's single player so I'm expecting the same. (stated subjectively, of course) All I'm expecting is an extension of what I experienced in the Alpha/Beta: good times with friends!
They're ok. The in-game story is alright, annoyingly the bulk of the really interesting stuff happens off camera, and you have to dig into secrets to find it.
They do create interesting worlds though.
If you're going in looking for an epic story with a satisfying conclusion you'll be disappointed, but if you're going in looking for an epic world to explore and experience, you'll probably enjoy it.

Equal to Shawshank Redemption or bust.
Live in the US? Have a Redbox? I would assume this game will be all over them in the next week or so. If you're on the fence, can't go wrong with renting.

You're welcome
,Well yes because of the bounties, you get hge EXP amounts out of them, most 5000 or 3750 EXP, there are ones for the Story missions and Crucible as well.
And yes, got my Legendary armor from the crucible, and also many rare weapons, also got an Emote of Light from there, pretty scare those things though.
I also can change classes between voidwalker and sunsinger.
Sunsinger is more the buff type, and Voidwalker more the damage dealer type.
@sjay
Cap is at 20, with Emotes of Light you can go up to LVL 30.

We'll be playing at exactly midnight.
Then don't get it if you're not sure.
Midnight Pacific. Have you preloaded your digital preorder? It'll have a nice big countdown clock you can stare at. [and yell at to move faster!]

I'm waiting a little while before I buy it. I loved the Alpha and the Beta...but I'm not feeling the immediate need for it like I thought I would.
Kinda hard to resist buying it, though. I love being apart of big-name launches.
Think its up to level 10 items, so yeah, would probably get outclassed fairly quick. All stuff you can get access to in-game eventually as well, this just unlocks it early if you pre-order.

This and the loot grind are the reasons I'm buying the game. Playing the Beta with my friends and fellow Gaffers was crazy fun.
The west coast gets to play the digital version at midnight PST. Everyone in North America plays at midnight PST, which, if you're on the east coast, is 3 am EST.

Well I got my copy of destiny. Now I'm just waiting for the super slow train so I can get home
Congratz, have fun when you get back.
Semi on topic, Marvel and Cuphead are tied for that #1 post spot
Also, does this come with a PS+ trial pack in or anything? Mine expired last month, I'd love it if I didn't have to pay for the resub for a couple more weeks. If not I'll just get a month or three, no biggie.
I wish I could skip this class. I got one of those professors who sets a very strict limit on how much you can skip before points get taken off.
I'm totally with you on that. I was so hyped for this a few months ago, now I just feel kind of meh. I just feel like I should but it though.
I played the alpha, which did NOT sell me entirely. I had fun, but there wasn't enought stuff for me to tell if I'd like the whole game.

Ohhh, this is a good idea.
Fair enough advice.
The worlds are colliding again, Lukas.

Take the hype train!
It's a video game. Keep your expectations low when it comes to story and dialog.
Punxsutawney Phil!!I saw this earlier. But I was to busy but happy its on its way!!
Wait..

Same problem, I guess gear will be available later on the 9th.
They are pretty average. You don't play Bungie games for story, you do it for gameplay. Halo had incredible AI and engaging encounters. Sadly that's not present in Destiny, I saw two bosses killed by standing still in a spot while the AI was also standing still and not able to shoot the player and enemies are mostly just straight rushing towards the player, no strategy involved. A fire team in Halo reacts to grenades, the loss of team leaders, kills in a row, player health, which makes for very varied experiences where enemies can even tilt and run away from you. Not in Destiny, just wave after wave of the same respawning enemies.

Lol. Marvel, you've been slacking.
One other worry I have about the game, and this is echoing others, is the story. From what I played in the beta, I LIKED the story missions. That being said, where was the Cortana's? Master Chiefs? Prophets? Johnson's?
I think in the beta there was: You, Ghost, that tower masked guy, and that mysterious exo. Maybe we just haven't gotten far, but I fear the story will be pretty barebones with not a large cast of characters.

No of course not. Why would they do that when they can buy and download it from the console store at 9:01.
That is the fear. I understand that there are ways to ensure that the game unlocks only for those in the right time zone but I'd imagine retailers are concerned that it would take less than an hour for a west coast exploit to be uncovered.
I don't think people realize how many sales would be lost on the west coast in physical copies if people all of a sudden could get it early from their iphone app. I mean, there were people today reconfiguring their XBO and buying from HK just to get it a few hours early.
Hmm. Ok. Will keep expectations in check.
But you are right about the world building. Destiny is one of the few games I can remember where I stopped to just admire the scenery.

Sony and MS could dole out licenses based on ip timezones. Win win for everyone, but I guess they don't have the infrastructure. Really it's on them as a retailer to have the means to release at midnight in each timezone. Just like physical.
