BUT, your character is persistent across similar brands. i.e. if you make a char on PS4, you can log in with it on PS3. (Or 360/Xbone) Quote HistoryQuoted:

If it makes you feel any better, I have a friend that created a character on his ps3 that he play with before downloading it to his ps4. Needless to say, he was rather happy that his character and all his progress transferred over automatically. Curious. Are the ps3 and ps4 players mixed together in the PvE areas? No. Each system (PS3, PS4, 360, One) is separated. Doubly interesting. I have a playstation online username, and a live username. They are both linked to my Bungie.net userID. Is bungieID the controlling factor? What would happen if I play a character on ps3 and XBOX? Hmm... I'll never do it. But i'm still curious how they're handling this stuff on the back end. |

This beta felt like the first badass game I've played in a while. Now the wait until September. This blows.

Bungie has said this won't work. I imagine it's more "won't" than "can't", but not my place to judge. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I read on some game magazine, that there is suppose to be a mobile game coming out for destiny, that will allow you to play from a mobile device. Not sure how it is going to work, and I cant find the article anywhere... I wonder if they canned the idea already. |

This beta felt like the first badass game I've played in a while. Now the wait until September. This blows. I know how you feel. I'm debating whether to go ahead and pre-order Destiny for PS3 to have it at release or hold out until late Fall when I can get a PS4. I've been planning to get a PS4 but I was unemployed for 474 days before finally landing a job a few weeks ago. Priority is get back on my feet first and the PS4 was just an afterthought but this game makes me want to get one ASAP. I may have to clean out my storage unit and start selling some stuff. 
I didn't know what to expect when I started the Beta. I think I downloaded it and started playing around 4 pm Saturday. I didn't move from my couch until after 1 am. Being able to run around in a free world environment blowing shit up and then start a quick side mission was awesome.
How many of us stumbled into places we had no right to be in? As in the area beneath the refinery where every enemy had ??? as their rank and they unleashed a big handful of f*** you in a matter of seconds.

I really enjoyed the beta.
But... I have to admit. I'm a little worried it may not be as "big" of a game as the impression I originally had. I mean... level cap appears to be 20 (for this first release), and we all made it to level 8 with maybe a couple hours of playtime. At that rate we'll be maxed (and presumably complete with the story) in less than 10 hours. This compared to something like Borderlands which is a 30 hour game. I know they're planning on releasing more content on an ongoing basis. I know Destiny is to be a persistent world. And so on. But... they have REALLY hyped it up. I hope it lives up to the hype because I really want it to succeed. ETA: This article does a good job summing my fears. http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2014/07/28/bungies-destiny-might-be-smaller-than-everyone-thinks/ |

I"m sure you can rush through the story in 10-12 hours like most shooters. But the side missions/loot system/multiplay should extend it significantly. It plays and shoots well, so I pre-ordered the $90 digital version, which come with the additional DLC. |

My wife and I maxed a few characters. I've had it pre-ordered since November. The Alpha confirmed it for me. The Beta was icing on the cake. I was pleasantly surprised by the Crucible---it was robust and it'll provide some flexibility.

Earning glimmer to buy jumpships, sparrows, and gear plus doing side missions and the Crucible to score uncommon loot kept me churning out the hours. I think it would be a smart play on Bungie's part to be modest at launch. Get the core features working smoothly then start adding the bells and whistles so to speak. Rushing something to store shelves is getting to be par for the course with game developers nowadays it seems. Prime example being Rockstar with GTA 5. They went for the grand slam out of the gate. Here it is approaching its first full year since launch and we STILL don't have features that were advertised to be included in the game, game crashes, bad networks, hacks, and bugs galore. Same thing with Medal of Honor Warfighter. It was so bad that the developers just said f*** it and quit supporting it. |

Anyone know if Playstation Plus subscription is a requirement for the game?
I played the Beta and love it. And this is coming from a pc gamer who hates FPS on consoles. Who has the best in game goodies for preorders so far? |

Possibly 32 story missions, 23 strike missions, and 11 crucible maps? Yup, this game will keep me busy for a while. |

I disagree. They've hyped it up and now they must deliver. If not folks will be disappointed it doesn't live up to the hype - regardless of how good of a game it may actually be. I would still play it, and lots of other folks would still play it. But it would not reach that supercritical mass - and the influx of money - that enable awesome content in the future. |

There's much more progression in this game than just levels. Think AA points in EQ.

Beta was great. Can't wait till September. I hope there is more explorable map. I hope there's more cities to explore on earth and moon and other planets. Would suck grinding the same zones for the legendary stuff.

Would suck grinding the same zones for the legendary stuff. They haven't announced eveyrthing yet, but some folks at reddit datamined the beta. As of the version they used for it (several months old, probably a stable march/april build) there was a good list of content. They are still adding stuff, so this is nowhere near a comprehensive list though. 32 missions, 11 multtiplayer maps, 15 unique strike missions, Earth, Moon, Asteroid belt, Venus, and Mars areas. http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/07/28/was-destinys-full-game-content-discovered |

One was a pussy and stayed hidden when we faced off against the walker and again against Sepiks. The other was just tactically deficient. Saw Braveheart too many times or something. Cover and flanking were leagues beyond his comprehension. If there were reward points for reviving fallen players, I would have scored through the roof. At least the one dude contributed. The other tool was just a freeloader. But after grabbing the loot from the chest and finding it to be the Shingen-E which is one bad ass auto-rifle, I moved on.

If downloading on ps4 is like the ps3 if you got a buddy that purchased it from the ps store you can get on his account and download it from the ps store. I know on the ps3 you can download a game up to five times if you have to get a new system for whatever reason. Never tried it with a ps4 yet because haven't bout a game off it yet. Destiny will be my first game on the Ps4 I bought. |

Apparently characters are capped at level 29?
There is a video on IGN with a Bungie dev doing a walk through with a lvl 29 Titan showing what it can do. I'm on my phone so I'm not gonna dick with trying to find and hotlink it but it's pretty slick. |

Well I may have figured out a way to get a PS4 in time for launch. Wasn't planning on it but I guess I can sell my PS3 and games as well as a spare 32" LCD tv I have in my bedroom that I haven't used in months. That should put me halfway there. Wondering if I could sell my bad PS3 too. The blu-ray eye has crapped out but the hard drive and DVD eye is still fine. I also have a LG surround system that isn't working but I think it is just a blown fuse in the receiver. Speakers are fine. I've got a new Yamaha system that blows it out of the water anyways so it just sits in a box collecting dust.
What do you guys think? |
