Just watched a gameplay trailer. looks ok but the shipped version is going to be nonstop screeching preteens arguing about how rich and not gay they are so pass.

Unfortunately the chat is not open to strangers but only to people in your team, which defaults to your psn friends. If I remember correctly there is a petition on change org which has at least 2 signatures to change this but I can't remember where, hit the bungie forums and that topic should be under "peter dinklage sucks" and over "bungie betrayed the xbox halo fans".

Three players co-operative FPS with RPG/progression aspects and a story that would fit a prog rock album. Grab a headset with a microphone, two of your console gaming pals and shoot down wizards coming from the MOON.

in the gp trailer the main guy takes a break from painfully scripted dialog with his perky colleague to hit a giant beetle's weakspot with a bullet time slam dunk of some explosive purple energy ball.

then they meet another guy in like a dump or something and he congratulates them as they all run off to kill aliens and be overly supportive of each other in stilted combat banter.

The message I got was destiny is cool but only tools play it.

I disagree!

I didn't get very into borderlands though and don't like fpses with leveling and poo poo. Also I hate playing an fps with a controller.

I don't think the game's bad, and I may get it, but it isn't amazing and I don't think it was worth then dumping all the money that they did into it.

Also titanfall is fun, I'm sure as hell not gonna say it's great though. I feel my comparison is apt. :colbert:

Destiny (for now) has been announced only for consoles.

So basically you didn't get out of the opening area? It forces you into a 3-man group at one point, thats why I'm asking.

There are also public events with huge boss-like enemies that take bigger parties to take down, you can't solo then unless you like dying a lot.

I admit I was looking forward to Destiny until I saw this

is that alpha thing still going on? I got the amazon email but never did it because I figured it was poo poo.

Also the "thrill" of betas/alphas seem to make games funner than they really are in my past experiences.

Sunday was the last official day, but it eventually closed down Monday.
If you preordered the game you will be able to enter beta starting on 17th July on PS4 with other platforms having a later roll out.

destiny seems fun but if you have a 20+ character already you are probably a financial burden on your family and should grow up and move out.

If you play crucible you level up fast as poo poo. And in general, really.

i have 2 20s and a 13, and i work full time

leveling is pretty easy and fast. always take bounties and do them while you're doing the story or the crucible

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.
