25% after two hours here.

Another 75% to go

whew

I'm assuming this is XB1 version?

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Kind of funny how much power gamestop has that they can dictate digital release times for these major companies.

It's not just them. There's also Best Buy and...actually holy shit. It's just those two.

God damn. What the hell happened. I guess that's why they're such knob jobs about knob jobbing digital releases.

 

[PIMPBYBLUD]

You 3:00AM'ers can forget it. The servers are already fucked and it's only the East Coast so far lol

 

[Hip Hop]

Good times ahead.

I'm assuming this is XB1 version?

Correct.

My current connection is about 9mbps though.

 

[Ganhyun]

Waiting for thousands of people on the internet to be surprised that the servers won't be working correctly as if it was unexpected.

Well, I had higher hopes for this launch since its Bungie, but I'm not that surprised.

 

[Nursezero]

Oh man just 2 more hours. I hope not too many peeps at the Gamestop I purchase at. Gonna head out soon.

 

[BiGBoSSMk23]

Nope, Southeast US (unfortunately)

Aw ok lol

Post some impressions of the package man!

Pics, pics, pics!!

 

[vypek]

Downed servers. Makes me feel a lot better that I won't be able to play until like 7PM tomorrow.

 

[jpd1408]

Ps4 bought game on disk... Error message can't connect online wtf

 

[scytherage]

Got my copy. Stuck at work so I can't play it yet.

I'm still not used to the fact that games today have no manuals or anything useful in the box other than the disc.

Anyway, can't wait till i can fire up this game back home.

 

[nictron]

I hope so, that way I have a reason to sleep!

Do not wish this on us...

 

[shadowkat]

Picked up my Destiny bundle.

Will play after work tomorr....errr later today when I'll have more time to play it. And hopefully the servers will be more stable.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

I can't wait to view the same cutscenes with my second and third characters /s

I'm actually kinda excited about that. The only time you get to see that face you spent so much time on. That's why I'm bothering to make one of each race.

 

[everyday math]

Ok now it's officially 12:00 AM in the correct time zone ;3. Has Destiny unlocked yet?

Based central

 

[neoism]

Do you already have PS+? The week trial codes only work if you don't have PS+ already.

nope never had it on ps3 ever... I entered it 10 times the armory dlc code worked though

 

[Northeastmonk]

Oh man just 2 more hours. I hope not too many peeps at the Gamestop I purchase at. Gonna head out soon.

Less than two, but still. I have 1 hour and 55 minutes It'll unlock at 2am. I'm tempted to run to Walmart.

 

[malfcn]

My XB1 installed and was in character creation in 30-45 minutes?

 

[UnObtainium17]

Man its gonna suck if i went through all of these and ended up not playing at all tonight.

 

[Kud Dukan]

Well, I had higher hopes for this launch since its Bungie, but I'm not that surprised.

It doesn't matter who it is. Servers on launch days are always going to have problems. It's not worth the investment to spin up the number of servers required to make launch day run smoothly, because they will only ever be hit that hard again.

(That's a gross oversimplification of the issue, I'll admit, but it's true)

 

[spacemonkeynation]

Say what, 6 pm Wednesday? That is no Bueno. When did that info come out?

They updated the promo ad page with another FAQ regarding availability just a few hours ago. It's complete bullshit. I'm going to try and call support in the morning to see if they can remove the ps3 one and just transfer my purchase to the ps4 one. I'm not hopeful.

 

[KennyKen]

i'm being taunted by these error messages

 

[j_rocca42]

2 more hours!!!

I know the feeling

We need a kickstarter to send some more servers.

 

[super-famicom]

2 more hours! Learning how to add a border to my new avatar is helping me pass the time.

 

[CouchMaster]

OT2 before game unlocks in US, come on GAF.

 

[Oscar]

2 hours to go, digital bros. we can make it

 

[sdornan]

Better learn slowly.

 

[PIMPBYBLUD]

Got in character creator twice and got booted out twice. bungie did we learn nothing from beta?

 

[Namikaze1]

Woke up an hour earlier than I wanted. Turned on the PS4 just in case. Gonna lie in bed for the next hour and a half.

 

[Lucent]

Yeah 3am is already gonna be too late. If the servers are gonna be hit hard, just not gonna be worth it. Will try tomorrow.

 

[nillapuddin]

Not even Destiny can handle America

USA! USA! USA!

Spoiler

goes back to crying about 3AM wait time

 

[CREMSteve]

OT2 before game unlocks in US, come on GAF.

How many posts constitutes an OT2?

 

[Garland7G]

How is the PS3 version?
Really curious about that, since Destiny it's the only game that interests me on new gen and I wouldn't buy a console only for this.
I have also a 360 but Live? No, if possible.

PS3 is the worst version from what I saw. there is a video on yt that compares em.

 

[N° 2048]

I hope the servers are good by 3am....

 

[malfcn]

I wish we could do a 360 during creation to see what they would look like. It is hard to see some of the hair and attachments from the close up.

 

[GraveRobberX]

I have this sinking feeling, the 3AM Onslaught is gonna really fuck PSN over

So fucking stupid >_<

 

[Hamlet]

Well I cracked the hype got to me, Went and got the White PS4 Destiny Bundle.
Biggest impulse buy i've gone and done.

 

[Art Vandilay]

I hope the servers are good by 3am....

Stay away from the microwave, Stan.

 

[viveks86]

OT2 before game unlocks in US, come on GAF.

US GAF will either be playing Destiny or drifting to sleep soon, if not already. I doubt it'll happen before launch.

 

[Gherid__lacksGPS]

Loving all the unlock salt, haha. Gonna get a good night's sleep, then wake up, take an Epson salt bubble bath, make an omelette, body will be fully preped. Then drive to bb while listening to man on the moon.

So stoked, catch yall around brunch.

 

[CREMSteve]

Bungie.net is back up and running.

Pshaw.

You mean the best impulse buy. I own a launch console and I'd still consider getting the white model.

 

[Garland7G]

Oh man just 2 more hours. I hope not too many peeps at the Gamestop I purchase at. Gonna head out soon.

You need to go early to reserve your spot in line (group number) then go back at 12 to your spot, at least around here you do.

 

[outunderthestars]

Sadly my Best Buy didnt get the shirts

 

[GraveRobberX]

US GAF will either be playing Destiny or drifting to sleep soon. I doubt it'll happen before launch.

Need 1300 post in 1 hour 50 minutes, I think we can do it!

 

[Trust me. I'm a PhD]

Got in character creator twice and got booted out twice. bungie did we learn nothing from beta?

Yeah, it is almost like millions of people are tying to access their servers at the same time or something...^^

 

[t hicks]

Flying Lotus is good waiting music.

Hell yeah
