    I didn't even know what to make of it until I got to play the beta, so that doesn't really surprise me.

    I am loving this game. Especially the PVP so far. The story is a bit underwhelming, which is disappointing considering these guys made Halo. But it is such a big game. Can't wait to dive into it more this weekend!

    I tried the beta but wasn't convinced. I thought it felt slow and a bit tedious. I wasn't expecting lightening speed running or one shot kills, but it felt like I was sneaking rather than running and the guns didn't seem to do much. My friend felt the same about it. Did anyone else feel that way about the beta? Has that changed in the full game?

    Destiny = Identity Crisis: Mass Warcraft - Call of Halo Effect!

    I'm thinking of waiting for the price drop.

    Seems like the structure of everything is very similar to Borderlands.

    Which doesn't bode well IMO. I know Borderlands is a game that a lot of people love but I just felt underwhelmed by it.

    Yeah, I got Borderlands 2 for free off Xbox Live's Games With Gold, but it didn't do much for me. I guess people like their shooters to be mindless grinds? From what I've seen of Destiny, it's very pretty and the mechanics are fine, but it's just nowhere near as massively game-changing as they said it would be. The art and story seem pretty tame compared to the wildly out-there concept art and promises made. I mean, they hired Paul McCartney, Peter Dinklage and Bill Nighy, and it just looks like Borderlands: Halo edition :p

    I can't really call it a mindless grind, since I only saw and/or played the first five campaign missions and not much else during the beta. I am at least curious about exploring this universe and the gameplay appears to be just my speed.

    But hey, at least you get to look like Star-Lord!

    I think the world of Destiny has a lot of potential if they'll, y'know, deliver on some of the scale stuff they talked about.

    Well, they better. If they want people to keep playing it for ten years or so, that is. :p

    I am sorry to disappoint you, but I have a hard time taking the opinion of anyone who is looking forward to Shadows of Mordor seriously.

    Not sure if anyone is playing this on 360, but hey we had that SWTOR guild going for a while so maybe.

    GT: Zander Solo on X360. Feel free to add, could use some buddies who haven't switched to X1.

    Plug aside, this game was boring as hell sub level 12-ish. Once the powers and tactics started kicking in and it went from Halo to MassHaloEffectLandsMMOinspace3 it got far more enjoyable.

    Also interesting theory online about exactly who the bad and good guys are for those like crackpot game theories like myself, a la the Mass Effect 3 Indorination theory: http://kotaku.com/a-wild-theory-about-destinys-story-1635090330

    Nope. Android or GTFO. Besides, is she voiced by Jen Taylor?

    The AI construct Dinklage voices is called a "ghost". Thus, Dinklaghost!

    The only thing is why is online free roam a completely separate mode and why oh why do they have an end mission screen? I'd much rather continue free roaming doing side activites, meeting new characters, etc. I don't get it. Still, it is a ton of fun to play. The controls are...ermazing!

    It seems you need to be Light Level 26 to even enter it, and most people finishing it are 28-ish.

    I've had magicarp luck with my Legenwaitforitdary engrams, so still decked out in all blues after hitting level 20 and don't have time to grind marks every week. Subsequently have only hit Light Level 24. I plan to try the raid once I'm able to enter it though.
