Not to be a bit salty, but all I see is an ADS rifle, sprint, some sort of slide roll and a big explosion from a pistol. It's one thing to see it in action, another to play. Look how great Halo 4 and Halo:Reach looked in the early videos.

I'm going to say it now, if you hated Halo:Reach multiplayer, you probably won't like Destiny.

Imagine if these classes transfer to the multiplayer. People who are warlocks have some sort of special ability, those who are Titans etc.

I was one of the more vocal people who said we shouldn't expect Halo from Destiny, but then why get so excited about it? Arena shooter multiplayer is what I like, I don't like ADS/Sprint etc.

As for that other gif. Like I said, it's world building. It's great because we can explore more, but it seems sparse. If it's just barren wasteland meant to grind and loot, not for me. Hopefully we see it in better ViDocs in the coming months.

While I loved the first Mass Effect, played through campaign 4 times, the exploration got a bit tedious. Random locales, just doing random quests for weapons or loot.

I am not getting Destiny for PvP at all. For MMO games I am always PvE and have spend HUNDREDS of hours on the Phantasy Star games (I really don't want to know how much it is all together)
So if you are a PvP person, I totally understand but I am not looking at Destiny as a PvP shooter I am looking at it as an awesome MMO PvE Co-Op game.

If myself and a bunch of friends can glide/parachute/jetpack off that cliff and continue on adventuring, then I will buy the shit out of that game.

Otherwise, it's a dude walking up to a cool background.

Well in that IGN vid, the Bungie guy did say that's all playable space.

Looks like ads is pretty marginal in importance; good.

Also that vista shot is pretty incredible.

You win again, Microsoft. Like three years later and I've finally bitten - just bought both dlc packs for Halo Wars. Pathetic that they were still 800points each, IMO. But it was time to accept that they're never gonna go on sale.

Couldn't you have found the platinum version disc for cheaper? The DLC is strategic options and historic battles right?

I think it's available for like $16 bucks from Amazon, then again I don't know where you live, so sorry either way. I agree they really need to work on dropping the prices of dlc years after release.

I think I got Halo Wars platinum for like $12 a few years back.

One thing I'm not digging is the new rep system. User moderation has never worked, nor has it been fair. People, especially gamers are poor sports, especially when upset.

I haven't used my mic outside of party chat with friends/family in over 3+ years. I never talk to randoms at all, and yet I have like trash talking as one of the higher negative things on my current x360 rep. I know numerous people who feel slighted that you took the banshee, that you went on a running riot, and then they purposely avoid you or mess up your rating. What do guys think?

EDIT: Nvm, I read it.

I fear for Xbox One players on BF4 who get kicked for playing well.

Rep system is good. Want to be an asshat during multiplayer? Well go and do it with other asshats. Same with pub stomping and whatnot (I already avoid everyone who does that. Hell, at one stage I was avoiding everyone who used active camo to snipe in Halo 4).

With the X1, hopefully I don't have to play with people who I don't want to.

Worst night of sleep in recorded history. The electrodes on my face probably didn't help any but it was more just me being shitty at sleeping and waking up every thirty minutes.

I should have shaved my chest more, too. Sweet Jesus it still hurts.

Do we know if boats are finally going to be in Destiny? That's what that water is for. Twelve years it took them, but maybe finally after twelve years we'll have boats.

:lol

Every damn day that I log into this forum and check out the gaming side, I'm forced to question why I'd want to buy a nextbox. I really am stuck in the middle at the moment I think.

PS4 looks good, but has no games/series I particularly like.
X1 sounds worse with each and every day, but I have years of investment on the platform and there is Halo. And the controller.

How much money would one need to build a PC with equal to or better specs than a console?

I don't know, 200-300 bucks? Maybe more?

Oh? Interesting. Thought it would be more. May end up going that route if the X1 doesn't seem like a viable choice at launch. Do we have word on Destiny coming to PC yet? I wouldn't want to miss out on that.

...

Anyway. I'm watching the Call of Duty: Ghosts E3 gameplay and I'm confused. Is the dog a robot? If you had the tech to make a robot that could kill people, why not just make a cute little cat or something? No one is going to be scared of a cat and when they try to pick it up, bam. Half their face is eaten off. Or even a pterodactyl. Can you imagine? No one would fuck with you if you had a robot pterodactyl

seriously though, game looks terrible. I wish linear shit fests would just die off already

Reach's multiplayer has just as many flaws as Halo 4, if not more. The design philosophy in that game just seemed wildly different. Halo 2 and 3 both have some of their own issues as welll.

Their campaigns are pretty great though. And uh, enemy encounter/gameplay design (I'm talking about you Promethean Knight!)

I always thought Bungie was testing some things out with Reach to see what works. I also really wish ADS was not in Destiny. It instantly makes it have the CoD feel.

I really hope Halo 5 is good, so my purchase with the Xbox One isn't regretted. :/


Really nothing makes me want a Xbox One but Forza, and Halo. I know I'll love Forza Motorsport 5, but Halo 5... I'm not sure anymore.

Anyone else notice the Fallen Devil Walker was just a Star Wars Tachikoma?

While I may not be a huge fan of Destiny's art style, they absolutely knocked the UI out of the park. It was charming seeing Jason Jones have his little Hunter dudes waving and talking at the start, too - gave me huge RvB vibes.

Maybe Destiny will finally usher in a new age of community content the likes of which we haven't seen since Halo 3. :)
