Destiny anyone?


Forsaken

Recommended Posts

Surprised no one has started a topic about this game yet. I got a beta code a little while back and this game is fun as hell. Seems like Mass Effect meets Borderlands meets Call of Duty meets Halo. With shades of Elder Scroll like deepness in weapons and upgrades. Character customization is awesome as well.

Anyone else try this out yet?

Post I made about it in the general thread:

The "story" mode was pretty cool. I regret not completing all that was in the beta. I had a blast exploring the wasteland with my friend, finding loot in crazy places. I just hope the game is as big as it's supposed to be.

I thought it was a very cool game, definitely up there with COD and Halo. Still, with the PvP, I felt something was missing. There wasn't much going on in it, just jetpacking around killing people. When you die, it's often completely out of your control, like you're either killed by an Ultimate (which are completely stupid, btw), or because you are weak from your last gun fight. It's hard to fuck up in a gunfight in the game, I win most of them but unless my opponent was really inexperienced, I left the battle with too little health and too little ammo to get another kill without hiding for 8 seconds. Still, it's fun, but I wonder how long it'd stay fun for. I think it has a lot of potential if Bungie is as creative and focused on variety as they were with Halo.

Loved it, felt the most "next gen" of all the games I've played this year. It felt different yet familiar at the same time. The Crucible (PvP area, cowaduty style) needs work, it had a bad netcode and that was my only problem during the beta.

The world was rich and immersive, very addictive. This looks like my GOTY, tbh.

I haven't played the beta, but from what I've heard it sounds like too big of a game for me. Games like Skyrim, Fallout, and Mass Effect sound really cool, I just don't have the time or commitment to get into them. Shame, because I'm sure they're fun.

Kind of my boat. I don't have a family or fiance or anything, but I have a lot of other stuff going on IRL, so I don't get to game as much as I used to and would like to anymore.

Might get this still though. We'll see.

Haven't paid much attention to how the single-player is, but the multi-player was fun in the Beta.

It only gets worse as you get older. Enjoy it while you can!

If Destiny hits a home run and wins Game of the Year by most critics I'll probably give it a go. I generally attempt to play the game that most consider the best of that year. Still trying to make my way through The Last of Us, but I only get to play it for an hour a week.

I know exactly what you mean :(

I'm getting Destiny and I know I should be hype but I just can't force it. I just have too many other things to think about.

I'm the exact opposite..Got a lot to say about this game. Seems like it has split a lot of people. Love it or hate it kind of thing.

This game clearly was inspired by classic titles, the point, wave, dance etc was a deliberate Dark Souls mechanic.

One influence I've seen no one draw attention to is just how much it borrows from classic doom. Halo was never that far detached but destiny hits the nail on the head. The varied but distinctive alien races and divisions, (it's enemy design is one of my absolute favourite things) their projectile and sometimes homing weapons, the fast movement speed. The hellish environments. It's all very doomy.

My first strike mission - the moon one. That left me in awe. Fucking awesome, lengthy, challenging experience.

Met the Vex for the first time last night. About shat myself. Play on hard or go home. The challenge is real. :)

More thoughts soon,on phone atm.
