Love DiMaggio, but he was a terrible choice for Joker in an otherwise great movie.
nope.avi
Taking a break from placing all of those orbs...

Good point and I noticed this too. Hard to mistake that gravelly Marcus Fenix-esque voice. It's always great when you get a patrol mission from the gunsmith because I always pictured it like Fenix giving me the mission, lol.
Sad waste of voice talent though, as could be said with most of the V.O. cast for Destiny.
GOD DAMN this needs to be a voice outtake! XD

Such as waste.
I'm back after a few days away. I'm sure y'all missed me. Time to catch up on the past thirty pages:
I wouldn't count on it. It's really disappointing to me to see these issues in the gold copy of the game. The Xbox One is supposedly ten times more powerful than the Xbox 360; running a 360 game at 1080p60 without a hitch shouldn't be an issue in the slightest.
Combined with some of the other issues (image quality, lack of AF, missing armor and theater features, lower H2A resolution, Halo PC netcode and port, etc.), it's even more disappointing. For those of us who know the series really well, especially people who know it well at a technical level, it's sad to see these games not being the best they could be.
This is sarcasm, right?
Chiron shotguns only FFA is absolute hilarity.
Certain Affinity's president has some... worrying taste in maps.
This makes me physically uncomfortable. Add in that bloom clip on Zealot that made the rounds and it's basically a rage aneurysm in .gif format.
I got mine a couple day ago. Gamer pics are horrifically bad, like desperately trying too hard to be hip bad. I found the best option is to go customize your avatar, then zoom in and move him out of the frame and take a picture of one of the background patterns and use that as your gamer pic.
The man's voice range is incredible. A lot of voice actors I can easily pick out their different characters, but DiMaggio can do different voices that sound like they're coming from completely different people. It's incredible.
Also, if I were him, I would only speak in Bender's voice for everything.

Besides the wonky gamma "curve" on 360, it's surprisingly easy to setup the capture wrong. It sure doesn't help that the 360 setup options aren't particularly helpful in just saying what the corresponding colour ranges are.
Yeah, he had me fooled for a second when I wasn't actually watching the screen and I heard him doing the Heretic voice. Talented fellow.
The Jaguar CPU isn't always significantly faster than the 360 tri-core, so that can have an impact on hitting 60fps. I'm not sure what else they keep in the 32MB esram, but MSAA would be out of the question at 60fps anyway. AF is a tricky one because bottlenecks can change from scene to scene, so it's generally easier to just shut if off to hit a more consistent 60fps. If they had more time, maybe they could have worked on performance profiling more in-depth.
A 30Hz lock option would be curious if they did enable more AF and maybe render a bit higher than 1080p.

This is how I fooled myself into thinking that they must have cut some story content (e.g. cutscenes, dialogue) from the beta, and that the main game would be much more fleshed out. "Surely they wouldn't hire Nathan Fillion and Claudia Black to voice simple shopkeepers! No, they've definitely got bigger roles in the full game."
Such a stupid Poodle I was.
Never forget
I can't be the only one not getting his comment? Wasn't that a bit ... Random? Isn't that a quote from a Halo game? Can't really remember.
I have no idea what he's on about...
The entire game is disappointing. It's such a shame because in SP (not so much in MP) the core gameplay is pretty solid. It's like they took this great gameplay, and spent the rest of the dev time purposefully trying to make the game as boring as possible.
Yeah bud, I got you.

There's likely a lot more too it than that. Common conclusions drawn based on Joe Staten leaving a year before release, along with other things, is that the higher-ups (either at Bungie or Activision) decided that the story needed to be lobotomised for a younger audience (Teen rating) or more casual gamers. There's evidence in various places that the original plans and builds of Destiny were a lot more ambitious: there were a lot more features like trading, and the story was much more developed.
Ultimately it's all speculation, but it's highly depressing that we got a small fraction of what we could have. It must be frustrating for Bungie employees to have had to ship a game in Destiny's current state.

And he (probably) just started working directly for MS...
IT'S SERIOUSLY HAPPENING.
Yeah man, I have yours!
:O!
It's ever so slightly wrong though... Kamp said "sir" and the cutscene said "captain".
Even so #Believe.
Oh, it's obvious they weren't trying to ruin the game. It just feels like they were. So many aspects are half assed and just plain bad.
Why don't you post the current list here? Then anyone who hasn't been put on there will know.

DLC will make it an interesting game, I'm sure of it. (holds breath)
Yeah, I think Destiny's issues stemmed from design decisions from above, whether Activision-motivated in terms of deadlines or Harold Ryan/Jason Jones. I knew the game wasn't going to be as good as Halo, but I certainly expected more from a final product. The lack of overall content and oftentimes bass-ackwards design decisions become really obvious after playing for a time.
The result? I'm not really saddened by Joe Staten's and Marty O'Donnell's respective departures from the company anymore. They can move on to do bigger and BETTER things and not be held down by whatever B.S. style of development Bungie now takes to keep in lockstep with Mr. Monopoly Activision.
I wouldn't. Still sounds to me like they're charging $20 for what should be like a $10 DLC based on the content that's been disclosed. Gotta love stripping down the base game to repackage and resell to consumers as DLC later eh?

Don't hold for too long...
Personally I'm boycotting the first DLC due to PS getting an exclusive Strike. That makes 8 for PS and 6 for Xbox.
I've got Halo to play, anyway. There's no way a 4 game scripts, a few disc locked content unlock keys and a level increase is worth $20 IMO. Depends on the Raid I guess.
