re: ...Destiny..

It's actually quite nice and not very time consuming (Shawn) IF you manage it right, meaning you restrict yourself to one mission per play session, or a strike (3-man dungeon) or something. It definitely has the FPS crowd in mind when designing for time and segmenting gameplay. That said, it is really easy and fun to get carried away and binge on a planet's missions or get on a streak in PvP.

I wouldn't say it's great but it's one of the few decent titles for the one that's out right now and it's bungie so it's a must buy for me

This game looks so fun. I also want to pick up a copy once it's available for PC.....we'll see if my work schedule allows it!

Gotta love Cmelt the Cynic dropping his pessimism bomb on everyone's party ;-)  

 

 

 

I also find it interesting that they call it PvP in Destiny when really it's just multiplayer matches like any FPS, right?  From a word-smith standpoint, I just find it interesting.  Usually shooter fans and games call it "multiplayer", but here because of the MMO aspects people call it "PvP".  Very interesting.

re: ...Destiny..

I guess they call it 'PVP' because they make a huge point of how destiny is an MMORPG even though it only sort-of is (you don't see other people all the time, only if you chose to do something with others) and it has a huge PVE aspect. the PVP happens in matches, so I guess it doesn't really matter either way. marketing shmarketing.


 


either way


 


I - theoretically - have the game for PS4, but it's still wrapped in plastic (why did I preorder again? heh). been feeling crappy so I didn't get around to actually installing it yet. I'll give you my gamertag/whatever when I actually start playing but by that time they've probably raised the max level to 80 and I'll never catch up. since I have motion sickness I can only play about an hour or so before I get sick, anyway ^-^

re: ...Destiny..

You can easily get to level 20 in 3 days.  It's after that point where the real grind for light levels begins.  I have started up my PC twice since buying Destiny, lol.

re: ...Destiny..

Didn't mean to sound cynical. I think it's a fantastic game and i'd highly recommend it. My gamertag is cmelt274 if anyone wants to add me on the One. Haven't played in like a week but now that I beat Shadow of Mordor i'm sure i'll play Destiny some more. I will warn y'all i'm not very good at this game

re: ...Destiny..

With any MMO or big game like this (even a shooter like BF4) I'm always scared to join late because I'm worried I'll be too far behind the skill or weapons curve or the population and I'll feel lonely.

re: ...Destiny..

If I buy Destiny now, will I have missed out on a ton?  Will I be alone in lowbie areas?
