Sounds about right judging from what I played in the beta, we'll see how long this game will hold my interest.
Nahhh no way. Pretty sure the Halo 4 one reached OT2 before launch.

Theres this game called Smash you might want to check out.....
smash is really fucking old though.
What time is it in your area? Still 4 hours to go until midnight pacific time.
Yeah it's less of an accomplishment being a sequel to an already massive franchise.
Plus the number of nintendo fans on here is insane. So it's kind of expected.
That doesn't make any sense.
Best Buy always seems to have less people at the releases. I know for Watch Dogs there were only a few people at Best Buy, but at least a hundred at the Gamestop down the street. Made me happy I chose Best Buy since it took 1 minute to check out!

10PM, which is when my store opens for prepaying. At Halo 4 launch there were dozens of people here by now.

I think Diablo 3 might have, but I'm not entirely sure.

I am the same for single player stuff (Wait and see), but after paying full retail for map packs that I knew I was going to buy anyway to play with my brothers, I now just bite the bullet on season passes. Might as well save a few bucks^^

That was not there a couple hours ago and certainly not there when I bought the damn thing.

Ah, shit. This is pretty much what I was afraid of coming out of the beta.

I'm so tired, I don't know if I can make it till 3am like this. Maybe if I just close my eyes for a little bit...
I hope it is like that here in Nashville when I head out in a little. Big crowds make me kind of nervous, lol. I hope BB lets me get my white golds tonight, would suck if they make me drive back out tomorrow.

Is there an actual event they are holding? Because that sounds super lame if they just make u wait for two hours. Lol
My bb usually won't let you buy anything other than the game. Hope yours is different.

Dude, I know it's Destiny, but chill.

This OT was not even allowed to start until one week before launch. Smash does not even have a release date yet....
Prepay!? My local store don't even do that... we just line up then pay and get the game at midnight lol!
At least your guaranteed a Destiny t-shirt for being among the first in line.
Why do we know Dax's sleep schedule....?

This is why I passed on it. Some people may love it but I could tell from the beta and alpha this is not my kind of game.
Update CLASS set FUCKTHISIMOUT = 'true';
Going to pick it up in the morning. Can't wait. Almost want to pull sick card for tomorrow.

i think the problem with destiny's format is that you don't really get to the 'story missions' until you're in a private space. on old russia, they're almost all indoor buildings. they're much larger on the moon and i imagine that's the case for other places, but you lose the feeling of linear progression from one area to another that bungie was generally good at in the past. a big part of destiny is that "crossroads encounter" - meeting players out in the world doing their own thing. that's cool and all and i'm glad bungie was able to pull it off; however, that inherently takes a huge chunk out of what you can do with the story in that space.
for perspective, imagine if this part of halo 3 was a public space. that scarab battle wouldn't be there; perhaps it'd be a randomly occurring public event, but most of the time this area would only be populated by a few static enemy spawns. you'll see random players doing their own thing and pass them on your way from one forerunner structure to another, but taking down the scarab is no longer part of the 'mission'. This opens up the potential for every story playthrough to be unique, but it simultaneously narrows their scope. hence the disjointed feeling many people have expressed.
Yep, exactly what i was trying to express. In my limited experience so far, the sacrifices made to level design aren't worth it, the online world doesn't even feel that persistent. It's a matter of taste though, some people will prefer this more segmented and repetitive style, the loot and leveling will spur them through it. But i think people who enjoyed halo solely for the campaign are in for a bit of a shock.
ok.

Take a nap and set your alarm
Don't do it man. You'll crash hard.
I really should have seen that coming, hahaha.
I might just set my alarm and hope it wakes me up. The sheer excitement may be able to rouse me as well. I may give in and "nap" till then..

Should have waited :/ I picked the physical copy standard to play early, first time playing it (No Alpha or Beta).

UPS has held my Ghost Edition in the same place for over 12 hours now. I go to bed in sadness. Hopefully it's here by tomorrow. Good night, neogaf. Happy gaming. Despite all the naysayers (which are inevitable in any game as big as Destiny), I look forward greatly to plying Destiny tomorrow- and I wish you all a fun time.
Diablo 3 has spoiled me. Jumping from dungeon to town at the click of a button, no loading to speak of... every game should be like that.

I definitely love it and really don't agree with most of the "bad" points.

No kidding. I literally hit 'submit reply' and hit F5 on my other tab (which I did right before hitting submit, by the way), and suddenly the package has left the courier facility. HURRAY PROGRESS!
