First impressions.

Good:

- Decent and clean graphics, great design work
- Inspired areas
- Combat feels great so far
- Fun to see other players in both the missions and the open world segments
- Loot!
- Challenging bosses
- Neat menus

Bad:

- World feels dead and sterile, even with players and enemies fighting at in the open
- Missions are terrible and end abruptly without any real conclusion
- No context to story, characters, world, or anything. Maybe things will be explained, but right now it just feels completely random and without any real emotion or driving force
- Loading times and mission select design is dated and very clunky. Especially visiting the tower
- Player interaction is minimal so far
- Gear and weapons all look the same (although I'm pretty early)
- Respawning enemies in single-player missions could be toned down
- No feeling of leaving any impact on the world
- Press square to ghost

I can already taste the hype backlash threads in about a months time, though Activation would have gotten all their money by then anyway.

 

[Icyflamez96]

cool bro

Why do you feel the need to post a sarcastic comment to that?

 

[Chamber]

I vote nay on Dax doing all the OT's if she isn't willing to listen to the people.

 

[Jarmel]

Warlock glide is such a free kill... if you want to be good at pvp never do it lmao

Not surprised at all.

 

[mr jones]

So, when you get to LV 5 with one character and you get special Crucible bounty for Control, you can't get it with another character.

But you get all 3 Vanguard special bounties for every character.

Smh.

Game is amazing BTW

Whoever loved Alpha/Beta and was celarly informed aboit what Destiny IS - instead of subjective lameting abut what it is NOT despite being well informed - will probably love the game.

So... what IS Destiny?

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Too long, got's to keep it simple and straight to the point.

You mean like

"Get your ass to the vault of glass"

We even got bungies approval but we fucked that one up. Frabjous. Effing Hunters

 

[Papercuts]

Interceptor tone down is real

^says the titan

What stream are you watching?

 

[TEH-CJ]

Not rushed review/10

Earth moon and venus completed. I give it a 7 out of 10 so far and I am being generous.

The entire mission structure consists of this. Press square for ghost and defend waves of enemies. That is all you will be doing for 5 hours straight. No variety just the same boring shit.

No memorable set pieces here folks. Killzone shadow fall was garbage and that had better set pieces.

That being said, I like the art style and atmosphere.

Will post more inpressionz after i fight the kabal.

P.s keep your expectations in check. Think of the game as a first person warframe with about the same quality missions.

Hmm, a revolt against the Empress? I'm down.

Something, something, "Neogaf is not a democracy."

 

[Joeki11a]

Do you expect lines for this game?

I am thinkig no, maybe Destiny 2 will have that

Effect set and fanbase set

I'm tellin' ya, Galaxy of the Guardians.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Anyone gonna be rocking hand cannons after that patch?

I surely will be.

 

[RexNovis]

It's a glitch. Go into your Library, it'll show they are actually downloaded even though the error in the download screen keeps saying they aren't.

I don't see them in my download list at all. That's the problem. They aren't there in the download list or the library and nothing I do seems to want to queue them for download.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

so is there a limit on who can make OTs then?

unless somebody else calls it I guess.

I'm tellin' ya, Galaxy of the Guardians.

How is flipping it around better? lol

Are people going to start suggesting "The Guardians of the Last"

 

[Xamdou]

Buy her a dress maybe.

I probably would, that OT tag is straight up epic... props to whichever gaffer thought of it first.

Are the missions better than what was in the beta? Really hoping they improve.

 

[RoboPlato]

It's the same exact positives and negatives as the beta, which I loved.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I'm tellin' ya, Galaxy of the Guardians.

I really like this one too

This has me worried about the PvE.

 

[SnakeEyes]

I agree; Dax's choices for names have been terrible. "The Last Guardians" I can actually get behind.

 

[Trace]

I'm tellin' ya, Galaxy of the Guardians.

I can deal with that.

 

[eddievanclaylen]

I was seduced by the hype train. I wasn't going to get this, but ...

Waiting for the servers to turn on.

 

[nib95]

^says the titan

Lol. Maybe. My main class in the Alpha/Beta was Warlock. Only tested Titan briefly, but want to go with it in the final game mainly for the fur armor and power slam super.

 

[LordofPwn]

Way too long

Oh man. I was hoping your opinion would have changed by Venus. Such a shame.

 

[CREMSteve]

Hmmm,. that's a different issue then, weird. Maybe email Sony and ask them to look into it.
I don't think you should see the expansion pass in your dl list yet. But the vanguard armory should be there, for sure.

 

[Omni]

How do you get Titan Marks? I had one in the beta but can't remember how

 

[sdornan]

Does anyone else wish that this game had a real single player campaign instead of the hybridish single player/multiplayer creation that we got?

 

[everyday math]

It's a glitch. Go into your Library, it'll show they are actually downloaded even though the error in the download screen keeps saying they aren't. (PS4)

Doesn't show for me

 

[littlegrasshopper]

So whats the level cap for this game? I thought it was 20 but now after seeing the Kotaku article about the 26 walking around I have no idea anymore lol.

 

[Twilight Gap]

It's the same exact positives and negatives as the beta, which I loved.

i suppose that this is a good thing then. no ugly problems rearing their heads.

 

[WarpathDC]

Pissed I have to wait until 3am for this on psn

 

[nib95]

Yes. Or a better fusion of the two.

 

[super-famicom]

I surely will be.

I wanted to like them in the Alpha, I even chose it when you get a free gun from the gunsmith. But they turned out to be kinda crap and the Scout Rifle was much better at being a hand cannon than than the actual hand cannon was. Now I'm looking forward to using them!

 

[GhaleonEB]

How is flipping it around better? lol

Because it works in context.

 

[Superjay779]

Some of these impressions are making me rethink my preorder. Maybe I'll get this game later used.

Damn. This and the pvp still being utter unbalanced dogshit got me worried

 

[BLCKATK]

You can get up to level 20 with exp. Afterwards you need to equip gear with the light stat to reach higher than 20.

Ruh-roh

Sounds like the vibe I was getting from my time with the beta.

Oh well, game came with my system, which is what I really wanted anyway! (^___^)

 

[RoboPlato]

So whats the level cap for this game? I thought it was 20 but now after seeing the Kotaku article about the 26 walking around I have no idea anymore lol.

20 is the cap through experience points. You can go up to 30 by equipping gear that builds up your light stat.

 

[Wolvesinthebathroom]

So whats the level cap for this game? I thought it was 20 but now after seeing the Kotaku article about the 26 walking around I have no idea anymore lol.

It's a light cap of 20 that when you equip certain gear can raise your level from 21-30.

 

[hunchback]

Thanks. Good thing I'm not sleeping tonight. That clown is guaranteed nightmare material. I can't wait until our Gaf clans are leveled up. We'll be kicking some butt.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

No. I've played 5 Halo games already. Wolfenstein, Bioshocks etc..

Let Destiny be its own thing.

Firefight the game.

[FaintColt388301]

I'm on team The Last Guardians and Galaxy of the Guardians.

Both are good. The first is the best though. Just let us have it.

 

[Terrorblot]

3 1/2 hours until PS4 preload.. trying to hold my excitement. I wonder what the odds are PSN is going to die.

 

[super-famicom]

Stop quoting Math's post! That scares the bejeezus out of me.

Damn. I'm honestly just relying on the strikes to deliver and for the pvp to be casual fun I guess.
