So did this guy on twitch unlock his PS4 copy early somehow? Or are us digital owners still waiting until 3am EST?

 

[SirNinja]

Okay GAF, it's five hours until digital copies unlock. (1 AM for me). Gonna get some sleep and wake up ~5 minutes before showtime. See you all online!

 

[GringoSuave89]

Guys do we know exactly what the Radiance skill on the sunslinger does yet? The base skill I mean. "Dramatically increases the effectiveness of all abilities" is very vague.

All I've found on this and found this video

At the 2:10 time stamp you can see a player, while using radiance, can one-hit kill a player and vehicle with a melee attack. That's pretty "dramatic" indeed, but I want to know what else radiance does too.

Any time it says "all abilities", it refers to armor, recovery, and agility. Also, http://destiny.wikia.com/wiki/Radiance

 

[schwabdizzle]

Well since I bought my digital code off Amazon I can't start downloading it til 2AM. Thats some bullshit.

Don't worry about that. I want to know if there's a developers launch going on tonight?

That's what I was thinking. Not terrible with a Nova Bomb.

How much time is everyone going to put into their Guardians look..since they aren't seen 99% of the time?

20 minutes probably. I don't care that much.

 

[Papercuts]

I hope the handcannon buffs make it actually gatdamn usable in PvP.

 

[NoTacos]

I'm watching a Strike, on the Game Trailers stream and it isn't looking like any fun.

Because you're not playing.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Catching up on the thread and there's so much gloom and doom... Oh and this

Best part is the photo of the half naked banana on the wall

 

[super-famicom]

Should have gotten it from the PSN store instead. It's been known for a while Amazon doesn't do preloading.

 

[RoboPlato]

Do we know how many PvP maps there are?

10 on Xbox
11 on PlayStation

 

[Nestled_Grizzly]

I hope the handcannon buffs make it actually gatdamn usable in PvP.

Yea!!!! I want to use them so badly

 

[Foxix Von]

I know I am tired..but is your avatar moving?

I see it too.

God help me

No idea what you guys are on about. It's probably just the hype getting to you.

 

[The Xtortionist]

Yeah the difference is very apparent but it looks like it can still dominate in the right situations. What's most important is whether the Scout, Pulse, and Hand Cannon classes can keep up.

Is the flipping animation from the crucible trailer standard for all hand cannons now? Because that uh...might get me to uh...use one.

:l

as long as somebody who is forced to aim at the head can still kick the ass of a spray and prayer then all is good. If it still reaches the point where AR's are the way to go, then screw it I'll go with sniper.

 

[DY_nasty]

Yeah. If you were used to the AR before it won't be anything other than a 'oh.' moment. Its noticeable - but I think it'll encourage people to at least consider the other weapons seriously now whereas that was pointless in the Beta (outside of the scout rifle, where you actually had to be a DMR beast to be on the same playing field /selfpatonback)

 

[E92 M3]

What's the consensus on dismantling loot? Worth it for the glimmer and parts? It's crazy how no game confused me more than Destiny, something about all of the random items is just overbearing. (I am a perfectionist and get anxiety if I don't understand every mechanic perfectly)

 

[FiraB]

At home, ready and waiting for unlock...

The wait is gonna be painful for the next 5 hours

 

[ShadowsFell]

10 on Xbox
11 on PlayStation

Thank you!

 

[op_ivy]

sweet bladedancer stream just switched to a hand cannon. and MAH GAWD her armor looks cool

 

[Fitts]

How much time is everyone going to put into their Guardians look..since they aren't seen 99% of the time?

About 30 seconds. I nailed down what I want my final character to look like in the beta.

Spoiler:

Spoiler

I'm partial to the comedic approach.

 

[1337Sauce]

Looking for a couple of people that would be interested in starting new characters together at about 1AM Eastern (just to give everybody a bit of time to get home from midnight launches). I'm playing on Xbox One, and while I did play the beta, I tried to stay away from as much info as possible, and only spent a little bit of time playing. I'm not interested in speeding through the game, and would instead, like to just take my time with the game, exploring and messing around and what not.

If anybody wants to do something similar to this and would be interested in playing tonight, I would love to play this game with some of DestinyGAF. I'll probably be on for a couple hours, so some people who want to play for a while are definitely preferred (Mics as well). Message me your gamertag since this thread is moving really fast!

LOL this sounds like some crazy post, but yeah I'm just really excited to jump in.

 

[OléGunner]

So I've done about 3 hours of story/explore on old Russia with a buddy and leveled up to 6. Loving everything so far, it's like a long overdue dose of the beta-except better haha

Now it's crucible time!!

 

[Foxix Von]

That's what I was thinking. Not terrible with a Nova Bomb.

Probably going to end up spending nearly the rest of my night on it and then crash before I've had a chance to actually play the game.

I can't help it.

 

[super-famicom]

Not long at all, since I'm going with the same look as I did in the beta. I spent a good amount of time back then making my Exo look like EVA-01.

 

[schwabdizzle]

Yeah well I got the digital guardian edition for $20 off, cause I bitched about my credit card not working so that's not bad. I will keep that in mind next time though.

 

[Duxxy3]

One complete negative that I've seen from todays streams - they kept the PVP voice the same as beta. That god awful voice over is STILL in the game.

Why do the class leaders and vendors have decent actors, but the PVP actor (that you constantly hear from) is crap?

 

[TheGameChanger]

Traded in my PS4 and canceled my Destiny pre-order today. Picked up a 3DS XL and 5 games(Both Professor Layton Games, SMTIV, Bravely Default and A Link Between Worlds.)

I'm tired of shooters, I'm tired of these re-hashed games with absolutely no effort.

Yeah! Same here. That's why I am getting Destiny.

 

[Vidpixel]

Destiny |OT2| Press Square to Become Legend

Spoiler

I kid, I kid.

 

[Navy Bean]

Tomorrow's gonna be a long day at work. Destiny already preloaded and my first kid due any day now. Odds of any real work getting done is VERY low...lol.

Make sure to post impressions for the working stiffs...

:l

Guns have various animations.

Most people are commenting on low level gear too. I still see streams rocking bland green weaponry. Haven't run into a rare quality weapon yet. Legendary / Exotic weapons I'm sure have their own reload animations and whatnot

Whaaaaattt? He's awesome! In no way is the actor terrible! He sounds so noble like a knight!

 

[BokehKing]

I'm making pancake mix now as I speak so I have something to eat when I first wake up and then i'm off to bed, I need to take my mind off this game for a little bit

*goes to check the clock on his psn*

5 hours....ugh....and 2 minutes

i don't recall being particularly bothered by the announcer.

 

[LowParry]

Wait, there's no toggle with helms? The fuck is the point of creating your charcter then. Psh.

Well, cheaper is good!

You should make a weeks worth, so you can play more.

I know exactly what I want by Guardian to look like. I made my beta character in less than a minute, lol.

 

[Alienous]

Because you're not playing.

Nah, I've watched games that have looked fun.

 

[Fitts]

:l

Tell me about it. My enthusiasm for hand cannons has increased ten fold in the last week. I'm now thinking that they'll split time with scouts.

 

[BokehKing]

Whaaaaattt? He's awesome! In no way is the actor terrible! He sounds so noble like a knight!

this!!!

Especially when you're beating the other team and he does that um...


"ha-HA.....the crucible is no place for the weak"
he sounds so damn cocky right there, I think its awesome

"St Killamajaro/KILLtacular" is not needed in this game at all, it wouldn't fit with the theme

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Wait, there's no toggle with helms? The fuck is the point of creating your charcter then. Psh.

The only time the game is third person is in the tower anyways.

But yeah I kind of Agree

You don't think it's fun to customize your Guardians look?

 

[Hip Hop]

How is the content so far for those that are playing it?

A lot of content?

Should have waited for the new 3DS XL lol.
