Destiny Discussion

Have you managed to play it yet Si?

managed about hour and half other night, bit annoying having to do same missions from beta again.
gona get some good hours on it today so will prob post something up tonight/tomorrow.

Thoughts then Si?

I am also awaiting Si's thoughts before I purchase it tomorrow.

Well my thoughts after a few more hours play are still that it is awesome. There's been a lot of negative reviews about it being boring but I can't help but think these people aren't looking at the bigger picture because they think there's an end. This game won't end it is forever growing and the multiplayer is incredibly fast. One tip, if you want to be good at multiplayer don't choose hunter class as the snipers rifles are just plain redundant!

you are my destiny
you are my one and only

certainly better than the beta.

the graphics are very good with only the odd time you notice some bits that aren`t up to scratch.
the game play is smooth but extremely fast! the movement of the character is spot on and needs to be due to the pace of the game. only negative i have so far is it still doesn`t break the mould of virtually every other fps, go here, kill lots of waves of puny enemy, kill lots more waves with a few higher tier enemies then try kill the "boss".
as gt mentioned though, the open worlds are fairly vast. one thing i can`t get away from are that the planets all have a feel of bordelands design to them.
this is one of the biggest problems i have with destiny so far, it`s just a mash of many other games and to me a re skinned halo.

some of the co-op missions are good, had some random join me for a mega long mission and he was needed at times.

all in all it`s a decent game, not ground breaking but certainly not bad. i have enjoyed it so far but think it will get very repetitive fairly quickly (what single player fps doesn`t).

i mentioned in the beta thread that the multiplayer is designed to be played whilst high on wiz, i still stand by that. it`s mental fast and after 3 games i gave up due to not having a clue what was going on. i never played halo multiplayer so may be that i need to adjust to the style of play.

had some more time on this, it`s certainly worth a buy. it wont blow you away as groundbreaking or initiative but it`s entertaining
got let down by a random in one of the massive boss/strike levels, spent well over an hour blasting every explosive i had into this beast thing only for the random to quit out. no way could i hold off the waves of enemies and try kill the boss so had to also quit

played a few more rounds of domination (or whetever it`s called) in multiplayer and even though i`m now up to level 14 i`m still cannon fodder for the level 20+. i`m really not too fond of how multiplayer plays.

you on tonight gt?

Destiny has been ordered due Wednesday, Xbox is due back Wednesday if I haven't heard anything about controller by tomorrow a new one will be bought on Wednesday

So what class did everyone pick?

I'm an exo hunter

Think I'm going to go Titan, do you need a mixture of classes when doing raids ect?

Yeah think so and the hunter is useless for multiplayer cos it's so quick the sniper rifle is pretty redundant!

Anyway, unless number 2 arrives today I should be on tonight for a bit of a sesh if anyone is around?

Should be on depends how long it takes to download all the stuff back on to the new xbox

Depends what time you start!!!!

Hopefully about 3.30 as long as xbox is delivered before I leave work if not will pick grace up and go back to work to pick it up in which case it could be closer to 5.

So you'll be ready to play about mid-night once destiny installs as well

Lol probably, best to say I will be on Thursday afternoon

Argh!!!!!!!!!! Servers are shocking tonight!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone on this weekend? Got a couple of co-op levels to do with bounty rewards

Should be on for a bit tonight not sure about rest of weekend yet though sorry GT.

so what are folks thoughts on multiplayer then?

tried it again today and it`s the most unbalanced multiplayer i`ve ever had the misfortune of playing.

Haven't played any yet Si was just presuming you play only once you hit the lvl cap.

Anyone got any more thoughts then? I'm still hooked!
