That script read from last years E3 was so embarrassingly bad and unbelievable that I lost what interest I could have had.
Not to mention its just another mmoFPS in an already crowded genre of mediocrity
I was actually forward to this game, a Mass Effect-ish type MMO game with more abilities.
That video, however, made me think otherwise. I love how they explained these “features” like if they are new or innovative, when they’ve been done before and have failed.
And no PC release? Fuck you.
How is the MMOFPS genre crowded when theirs like two.
Feels like theres 200.
Sci-fi futuristic multiplayer first person shooters. Meh. Wake me up when devs are actively trying to make a fresh experience.
Destiny is hardly new or out-the-box.
I hate that I agree with you but yeah. I was expecting something more akin to Phantasy Star Online but as a first person shooter. I mean it still can be because I feel like they are keeping a lot of gameplay secrets close their vest but this could end up being a let down. Not a big one but a let down.
AT THE ABSOLUTE WORST though it’ll be massively multiplayer multiplatform halo. That’s enough for me to buy it at launch and hey, if I don’t like the beta then I cancel this preorder.
Gamersyde has a bunch of alpha footage.
The game looks stunning :wow:

I like Halo’s game mechanics but I’m disappointed to see Bungie can’t make an drastic changes to make look more than a reskinned Halo Reach.
meh Destiny is a shite version of Dust ahem Project Legion
Looks just like a reskinned Halo.
Posting in unofficial Destiny thread, which I failed to find via search.
I’ll acquiesce. Can you keep the player list going, Furious?
It looks like some weird fusion of Halo and CoD. Still a pretty game and I’ll be playing it. TFO, Reach was not that good looking
Destiny is destiny.
That would be Transformers: War for Cybertron and it’s sequel, both of which are way better than either franchise…hell they’re better than just about any multiplayer shooter from last generation I can think of at the moment.
So yeah after E3 it seems Destiny will be a reskinned Halo unfortunately, but the powers seem like a really fun change I hope to them play a big part in multiplayer, but have low expectations.
Is there another thread? Anyone playing the game PM me your gametags and I’ll add them to the first post
EDIT
Ahhh, I see you created another thread now, we can get Val to merge them
Looks like the same engine except now on a next gen console.
Destiny wouldnt happened if Bungie didnt lose the Halo rights to MS, Destiny will be ok, but wont ever be as successful as Halo was

May wait for this to hit the bargain bin.
Played the Alpha all weekend…
I really like the game, it gives you that sense of exploring the maps, yeah, it’s not a whole planet, it’s just predetermined parts of maps, but, damn those places are big, It took me 4 hours just to discover all places just from the alpha map. And it’s just Russia, I think there will be more places in earth.
Weapons are a little random, just guide by numbers damage and RPM. I feel that the magician is OP, super jumps and grenades are OP on that class.
Overall, I would buy it, still has some issues but it gave me good impressions.
Some Image I took with the share button:
Spoiler
And a video I took with the share button
So for anyone who’s played it can you tell me how different it is from Halo?
its fun
It’s better to say that it takes the core Halo gameplay and places it into an online RPG adventure game mold. I get the sense that the basic feel of Halo is to get everyone on board but once you get going you see that it is something more, something special. I’m not even try it to hype it up. This is on my GotY radar barring me ever getting to play Bayonetta.
One thing I don’t see anyone talking about are the menus and how easy they are to use. It’s all cursor based but it’s tight and all the face buttons are being used. Nothing doesn’t feel too buried.
Also Hunter class knife throw is awesome. I’m sure once I can get an instant recharge of it after killing an enemy with it I’ll love it even more.
