My hubby spent an hour watching me play destiny before he dubbed it dustiny and said it was just as trashy
..he's not even a gamer

By youre logic, most people are too broke to even get a semi decent gaming rig right?, wrong, a lot of people do not like pc gaming.

Nearly every complaint you hear about a console player's negative feelings of PC gaming is completely around cost. Not just the cost of a budget gaming rig... That initial cost isn't that much more then a PS4... It's more the cost and expertise needed to upgrade and maintain a gaming rig. Even PC gamers for life can struggle with this.


I have a 3 50 BR characters for each race in Planetside 2... It's not a very long term appealing game unless your completely with the social aspects of making an Outfit and playing with platoons of peers in organized strategies. Solo play is abysmal.

And lets be clear... The Aim assist on DUST and the ability of it to lock onto targets long enough to provide sustained fire to kill them Is no different then Destiny's... Destiny has 1-2 shot kill ability with nearly every gun, That aim assist was put in place so casual players could compete with the High skilled twitch players as 1-2 shot = death from them.

DUST gives aim assist becomes it assumes people can't aim for themselves. Not to compete in a twitch environment.

Worst is DUST HAD no aim assist for a year.... Then one random patch they put in the bottom of the Dev blogs a 8 word sentence about aim assist addition.

As far as Aim assist on PVE in Destiny? "Yes, you can turn off aim assist. That will get rid of the assisted aim tracking. That does not get rid of the hit detection on shot assist that comes with your weapon's accuracy stat. <---- All DUST should of ever got.

I expected alot more from bungie. oh well.

A rating of 4 out of 10. Users give it a 6.3.

Destiny gets a 6 out of 10. Users give it a 6.8.

Keep in mind that professional critic reviews always differ from the player reviews. This is because professional critics have a ton of gameplay experience and know how to avoid bias in their reviews. Regular players on the other hand are more prone to bias despite their gameplay experience.

EDIT: Again, I'm shocked that Bungie failed to live to the hype. They made such a great game like Halo with excellent pvp gameplay. The storytelling part is no surprise though because the early versions of Halo didn't have a good story until 343 Industries took over.

Interesting read. I wouldnt put too much faith everyone will come back to dust, alot of people have left the PS3 entirely with Destiny and upgraded to the PS4 (the traitors)

As a youtuber its pretty much only my love of Dust that keeps me here and making vids (only a few of us left now and they aint getting great views...) The buzz around Destiny is quite insane and given the high level content is now ramping up with strikes raids and other suspiciously MMO style things, i would say that the attachment to the Destiny character is far greater than that of the Dust chappie. This could be a big issue.....

Million clone events are fine to grab peoples necks and shove them repeatedly back into Dust but there has to be tangible change within the game that at least shows there is something here worth staying for.

New guns, suits, bpos are not that thing. We have a wardrobe filled with toys and no real way to enjoy them other than constrained and stifled matches following the same 'capture this' 'kill that' format across the same small handful of maps.

CCP should have made new maps or new game modes their no.1 priority if they wished to maintain a healthy level of population but without these fun new places and ways to use our toys, were playing in the same room with the same people over and over until the lights go out.

Makes me so sad to see how well Destiny is being pushed compared to Dust, the social aspects, the free roaming, the multiple levels of difficulty, fighting giants etc. its all great new and innovative stuff, sure it kinda sucks across alot of other areas and is not a prodigy of gaming that it seems to think it is, but it is a HUGE distraction that once you are invested within will ensure many hundreds of Dusters will likely never come back (or cant due to PS4 upgrades)

I listened to the biomassed podcast this week (also to hear Bamm **** it up a bit) i heard a huge amount of talk about numbers, mechanics and very detailed stuff, none of which really matters to the game holistically, that seems to be CCPs focus as well, insanely focused on balancing, numbers and details, they fail to see the game as a whole just isnt that big or exciting when compared to Destiny......

Oh well, sorry for the ramble, guess i still care alot about Dust but despair at the way its going.

Really?.

Halo 1 was great when it came out because it was high tech but come on man.

Nothing in destiney has ever gotten this close I bet.

If only dust's gameplay was as fluid as destiny...

Dust has a much deeper gameplay in terms of PvP. Far more tactical and innovative then Destiny' s arena style shooter BUT because of the constant terrain glitches that have been present since closed/open beta, lag in terms of random spikes and imo rather shotty hit detection coupled with their ridiculous bullet magnetism, I'll stay with Destiny for awhile even with their assisted tracking that happens from time to time.

I absolutely hate the three man fire team set up as it limits and alienates many friends, but with raids now happening at least you can get a group of 6 together and have a go with figuring out puzzles and mini bosses together at a higher level of difficulty then regular missions/strikes.

No game is perfect. As a player you need to decide what's more important for your tastes and ENJOYMENT as this is why we all invest money and time into video games.

Its always been about 2000-3000 the number we see when we log in is the total for tranquility including EVE Online players too

Nothing in destiney has ever gotten this close I bet.

Honestly destiny is great game, end of story.

P.S.: And lol for the guy in the thread who claimed that a game PC does not cost much more than a PS4. My video card costs more than a PS4, he he

Have you even played destiny?
