I knew at least one of you asshats would show up. However, I am not asking the destiny players how they enjoyed the game, I am asking the community of players I have been playing with for 2 years to chime in on how they found the experience. Thank you for your time.

Omega, I would ask folks that you have been in corps and squads with their opinion. Do not trust the opinions of the forum whack jobs as you do not know them from Adam. Case in point, I liked the game, but you do not know me, so I could be a lunatic for all you know. Why on earth would you believe my opinion and why should you? The other fringe, is folks that hated it. They could be complete lunatics or such die hard ccp fanboys that their opinion was already made before they even downloaded it.

Trust the folks you actually know, and most importantly, then decide for yourself as your opinion is really the only one that matters when it comes to whether a game is good or not. Case in point, I liked Homefront, lots of my friends did not. I did not let that keep me from playing it. Other friends of mine like Cod. I refuse to play Cod.

Reign Omega BurgezzE.T.F General Tso's Alliance 656	Posted - 2014.07.29 08:54:00 - [1] - Quote Who all has played it? What consoles? Any class or weapon favorites? I saw some video from J0lly and Cyrius, the PVP, while small and very focused on twitch combat, looks fun and diverse, with 11 maps at launch. The PVE looked a bit dry,but they only showed the starter planet and story, so I'm hoping the full version has much more to offer, even with the promise of profiteering DLC on the horizon. The upgrade system looks varied and while it is not as full course as maybe we have here in DUST, it looks to provide some variety in play by bouncing the ability system off of the equipment/weapon upgrade options. All in all it was not maybe what it was spoken of to be so much, maybe not as open as most would like, but definitely looks like a solid game I could spend some time playing.... I'm definitely glad I didn't have all my speculative chips riding on it though. Thoughts? Observe the public trust. Protect the innocent. Uphold the law.

HYENAKILLER X WILL FIGHT ANYONE 766	Posted - 2014.07.29 09:06:00 - [4] - Quote I played the beta. Did not care for it. I played the crap out of borderlands 2 and every enemy and map in borderlands 2 just so well done. Im not desperate for shabby pve no matter how burned out I am on current games. I think destiny is trying to bank on the lull in pve shooters and multiplayer fps. I personally am not compelled by destiny at all. I think I speak for a lot of people when I personally feel the urge to get in at the begginning and climb the ladder. I just cant get past how poorly designed and uncompelling the art was over all. Not one player in deztiny looks more bad ass than the basic gal proto. Its just a boring concept. Im not from new eden. I dont need back up, political power or support. I, unlike you dont fear nuetral territory.

gbghg L.O.T.I.S. 4525	Posted - 2014.07.29 12:02:00 - [6] - Quote I found it enjoyable, defo best on next gen, i played the beta on the ps4 and found nothing to complain about graphically, smooh fps, high resolution the game looked good , friends who tried it on the ps3 reported bad textures and some pop in however. Combat was for the most part enjoyable, hunter is by far my favourite class, emptying your clip and finishing off the last enemy will never get old, then here's the time the throwing knife crit'd for 5000 damage against a tank in one of the strike missions.... In any case for PvE missions I highly recommend playing the hardest difficulty settings, it makes things so much more fun and interesting, for example the moon mission on normal was a breeze, barely had to pay attention, on hard however you get 50 enemies (some of them specials) charging you from two directions with very little warning or space to manoeuvre. The bosses we've seen so far tend to be based on sheer EHP mountains and damaging atttacks then any kind of special mechanics, makes the fights grindlike, not very fun, hopefully that'll be remedied in the full game/later bosses. PvP is okay, small player counts and mainly focused on CQC from the maps i played, small scale, fast paced gameplay, tends to reward AoE powers and supers like the titan's and warlocks over the hunter precision/skillshot one. Said powers cause grouping up to be lethal meaning the majority of fights you get into will be 1v1's and 2v2's. That said all of this is based on the one gamemode we've had available to play and can't be relied upon as proper overview of PvP, same for PvE I suppose as well . Can't really comment on the story or universe, too little to go plus most of the lore entries were redacted during the beta . Gear seems to work as a mix of borderlands/traditional MMO paths, you get loot drops off enemies and chests in the world plus you can buy loot and engrams from vendors (engrams are like a role of the dice, you can get anything of that gear type, the rarity of the engram and the rank you have with the guy who decodes them affect how good the gear you get from them are I believe). Engrams also drop from enemies and chests. The higher the rarity of the gear the larger chance that the gear will have some unique aspect you can unlock and upgrade, be it an chest piece that lets you carry more ammo for a certain weapon, or a rifle that does more damage the less ammo is in the clip. These item abilities don't go as insane as borderlands does due to the fact that this gear can be used in PvP as well, on the matter of PvP It's mainly balanced with abilities and stats mostly balanced in the crucible but when events like the iron banner happen all gear and stats become unlevelled, meaning a level 8 has the health and attack stats of a lv8, while a lv5 has the health and attack of a lv5 with the predictable consequences (I speak from experience here ). Overall I found the game to be very enjoyable and will be spending a lot of time on it come launch.

I refuse to play Cod. good point here, i tried to give an somewhat impartial summary of the game, but my views are coloured by my experience and hence biased by it, along with the fact that i like bungie and halo and thus am biased by that too. and as soul says, you do not know me, you do not know if you can trust me, so take my opinion with a pinch of salt, compare it against the views most opposite to mine that you can, try and find the common points, they're most likely to be true, if things disagree wildly they're the things most based on opinion, but again watch out for that bias. take everything you've heard, from friends and from strangers like myself, compare it what you know and like and decide your opinion on it from there after all, no one likes wasting money on a game they don't like . end unnecessary addition here
A'Real Fury D.A.R.K L.E.G.I.O.N D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 967	Posted - 2014.07.30 18:45:00 - [9] - Quote I enjoyed the game. I played on the PS4 and found the graphics and sound effects to be good and useful as I could determine direction of enemies based on shadows and sound. The PVE is solid and there is plenty to explore but it strikes a middle ground where it is not quite one thing or another e.g. if you are expecting to be one of dozens of players going on the same raid i.e. a more traditional MMO then Destiny will not live up to expectations. The types of items you can equip or modify is really unknown due to the heavy restrictions placed on the beta. Strangely one thing I do not like is the Destiny Forums not because of the people but how it is set up. One real disappointment I had with the beta is the means of communications but I hope that will be rectified in the full game. In the beta the in game coms was restricted to your fire team (of 3 players) and the only way to communicate was to create a fire team. However, raids involve 6 players who will need to communicate effectively according to Bungie suggesting that the coms in the beta were restricted for some reason. As others have said you do not know me. So my suggestion would be rent the game when it releases and if you enjoy it then buy it. Public Relations - tick tick BOOM. PSN: CallOfTheDark

Lovely sky boxes....and now that I take more note of it nice terrain meshes. Sound track was also nice. Now to be fair we only player a limited beta and only on earth which was pretty big and was IMO pretty entertaining. That was able to tide my over for a good two weeks and that was only to lvl 8. I think that Earth is also supposed to have another 3 areas called Europa and New Chicago...... if they are of similar sized and complexity with their own missions.... Not to mention the Moon, Mars, and Venus....... its shaping up to have massive and some pretty entertaining content. Also there are two more levels of Super moves apparently, the LvL 15's we know about and even further on.....one clip actually shower a Guardian do a leap some 20m in the air for a massive AoE. It feels like a solid and whole game even from the beta to me. Sure it won't kill dust but it looks entertaining at the very least. "We were commanded us to burn the system...We did.

I even found myself yelling it on the coms to my fire team every time i did it. luckily they were all fellow ex PFBHz so they are used to being annoyed by me.
