Hell, at least Activision are explicit when they try to fleece you.
They say Beta from July until end of August. Destiny full release in September.
Versus.
CCP "laser focused, ten year plan, soon"
My money is on DESTINY going foreward. |

I have researched it and destiny seems that it'll be very pve centric with arena PvP side modes.
If the story doesn't match up to Isaac Asimov's foundation series at least as well then count me out. That much spent on creating a game and over that period of time had better be nothing short of amazing.
Isaac Asimov was one guy with a brilliant mind who wrote books.
How many work for bungie that have aeons of inspiration to go by?.
Best be amazing.
PS He was also a scientist.
Yeah.
Good stories are fundamental to any game, movie or book.

Yep. It has cool armoured suits with plasma cutters and the matrix creation but above all the story is whats really good. I keep hopeing that it either gets a video game or an action Sci-Fi movie. |

If it is what I think it is then its very strange and very exotic sci fi
But I have read a plethora and most of Asimov's books.
The North World series is based on Norse Mythology. And it definitively is an exotic setting but above all its a good read.
There are many books avialable for free from known Authors at the Baen Library.
Either read online or select a free download to read on tablets, laptops, phones, etc. |

Sounds like decent story and back story. I'll try to remember but my list of books to read stretches into the next 5 ish years lol.
Get the Golden Years of Science Fiction. And add most books from the 40s to the 80s Years best Science Fiction collections.
Analog Collections.
A lot of books but then I started reading books at age 9 and right now I am 53 years old. |
