If anyone has a alpha code id greatly appreciate it. Pre-ordered and signed up for the alpha and never got one.

Gamma_Winstead · 06-15-2014, 01:24 AM

For years we've talked about Halo killers. This, to me, is it. LOVE the MP. Great stuff. Plus, the single player actually effects it too! If i didn't already have it pre-ordered, id place an order today!

Has anyone tried the strike mission? Wondering what your thoughts were on the difficulty.

I don't know if I did that or not.

Usually I'm not into these types of games but man this shit is fun as hell. I only played for a bit where you get to the wizard guy and he kicked my ass but man I like this a lot and the world and lighting is beautiful and it controlled lovely for an early build. I started off with a titan and man punching aliens in the face is awesome lol. The single player looks like it will be cool as shit in this and this might be the game that gets me into MP in FPS

can't wait to try the other class types. I'm pretty sure I am sold on this game, I will definitely be buying the game.

This game feels like an amalgam of Mass Effect, Borderlands and of course Halo

I do not see Borderlands in Destiny at all........

But, Mass Effect is all over this game. The tower might as well be the Citadel from ME

A game built around drop in and out co-op in a big open world where the main gameplay is structured as a series of quest you pick up in the environment. The skeleton behind this game screams Borderlands. There's also the powers/abilities and leveling system that's akin to Borderlands. The weapons and FPS mechanics are heavily influenced by Halo and the powers, lore and environment lends itself to Mass Effect. I think its easy to see inspiration from all three series in this title. Its an interesting blend

After playing for a few hours and and getting my Warlock to level 8 I can say that I am very impressed with Destiny so far. I am excited to see what other types of enemies and weapons the game has to offer as when it is released in September.

I acquired an awesome level 8 Auto Rifle last night and played with it quite a bit because I couldn't use the higher level weapons I had acquired. I was actually able to do 2 upgrades to it while playing. One was to the damage and another was to the sights of the weapon. I loved the fact once you do any upgrades to your weapon it visually changes the weapon.

At one time we had 4 players in a squad of the Team Deathmatch and I think it played very well. I will say that communicating with your squad during the match was a lot funner than having a bunch of randoms on your team. I also understand why Bungie wants you to play the game for a bit before jumping directly into the multiplayer. If you jumped in with level 1 armor and weapons it would not be very fun going up against guys with the higher level weapons and armor.

The random world events were pretty cool. I ended up getting into 3 of them while I was playing. Two of them were the spider tank and 1 was a kill everyone. I can only imagine what the some of the other massive bosses look like in this game.

No doubt in my mind I will be picking this up on 9 Sep.

The Alpha has left me gagging for more!

I hope to god the level cap is higher than 8 in the Beta next month, I was so disappointing when it said I'd reached the cap, having a bunch of equipment that's useless because you need to be level 9 and above etc is annoying.

I wish that the objective marker would stay up permanently though so that I didn't have to keep bringing up Nav Mode, and a map would be nice too.

I had a lot of trouble with it the first time I played it as a level 5. But then the second time I played it I was level 8 and had no trouble at all.

Did anyone else find the big guy with the machete in the basement of the 1st area? There were 5 of us 1 time during the game throwing everything we had at him and were only seeing 1's coming from the enemy and his flunky. Was anyone was able to kill him?

I've come across a few places that have swarms with ?? instead of a level. You just can't reach a level high enough in this Alpha to actually do any damage to them.

Thanks. As soon as I edited my previous post I saw yours. I figured it was because of this being an Alpha but I just wanted to make sure.

Mavrick · 06-15-2014, 05:18 PM

It was strange playing this then going straight in to FF14 online, you can really notice the difference between the framerates, but I think Destiny feels better at the lower framerate. 60fps makes you feel like you're playing super fast.

Mavrick · 06-15-2014, 05:27 PM

The Spawn times for mobs is way too quick too. I must have wiped out the same mob 3 or 4 times in a row because I was checking every corner of the room and no sooner had I turned my back they popped back up again.

It's quite exploitable too since you can just farm them in the same place for super easy EXP in no time at all.

I think/hope this is just for the Alpha so people can level faster.
