I really like how you can summon the ghost at any point in a matchmaking/competitive game. I also like how you can switch weapons on the go without having to actually pick them up. Really interesting dynamic BUngie found there.

The radar is common in more game than Halo, along with the "regenerating shield." Shields, even ones that generate, are prevalent in sci-fi games. A "few similar Halo sounds?" That's a straw clutch, to me.

I'm not saying it abstains completely from sharing elements that Halo had. It doesn't. It has a similar style, especially due it being the same developer, but it being called "Halolands" and "Next gen Halo" are unwarranted because I don't think it shares enough to warrant such titles. So, I wouldn't say there's enough to claim it's "like Halo." I think it would need to share a lot of things for that to be reasonable.

Also, your evaluation seems to have a shred of confirmation bias attached to it. You didn't seem to highlight any of the differences but rather a few similarities, some more desperate than others and some commonly found in science fiction.

I even get the "wake up to A.I." thing but it's just so separated from what happens. In Destiny, it's implied you were dead. In Halo, MC was sleeping. In Destiny, the A.I. recovers you. In Halo, you meet the A.I. after being woken up by assorted crew members. Destiny, male hovering bot. Halo, female holo A.I.

Not to mention, we haven't seen enough to assume that Ghost will develop like Cortana did. Ghost could have a completely different character development and role than Cortana did. It's a little early to write it off as similar because it's also an "A.I." and it's there at the beginning of the game.

Also, I don't know if it pushes many boundaries, especially due to the fact that the full game isn't out yet.


It's not completely like Halo and that's why people are calling it "Halo-Lands" because its shares a lot of aspects with Borderlands.

Again, it's not a bad thing but there is similarities.

I have a question that may seem weird.

I keep hearing that there's some sort of third person functionality in the game, but every game play video I see is in first person.

Is there anything in the game that's 3rd person?

The Hub/MMO base where players can interact/get gear/bounties/rewards/missions is entirely 3rd person.

Enjoying the beta but I still don't know if I think its worth buying. The three classes are the only three that will be in the game and that kinda bums me out. I hit the level cap on the day the beta started(which was technically a day early because I pre-ordered the game). Found the area filled with level 20's. They are completely immune to everything lol. It definitely has potential but im undecided right now. Im a Warlock and I love it! I just wish there could have been a few more classes released to the full game.

So apparently all Xbox Live Gold Members are allowed to play the Destiny Beta for free. Just saw it on my 360's dashboard and hit download. Not a bad move for Microsoft, I think.

Not sure what that means.

For me, the first section of the game where it's all dark and the fallen are chasing you is what will get me into this game. I want more sections like that where it's a bit scripted and such plus the open world Borderlands style of gameplay.

Actually, from what I heard, the beta was up for 15 euros. Someone actually payed for it, or so I've read. I'm not sure of the legitimacy.

You realize you're basing a purchase on the beta, right? You don't have to buy it day 1. You can just wait and see how the rest of the game goes. To be honest to complain about the cap is pointless. And you can still level up and unlock new abilities, even while capped. I agree about the classes, but who knows. I smell lots of DLC incoming lol.

What is up my unblack brother? big grin

About the classes...

Would subclass specialization remedy your class gripe? Basically, a way to specialize in 3 different areas in each class?

For instance: the hunter cam specialize in melee bladed weapons, long range sniper skills, or mid-range specialist.

That would bring the total class count to 9 rather than 3.

This too. I was going to bring it up, but since I don't know much about it I avoided it. Where will you be playing dude?

lol No too much.

Actually yeah I really like that idea. I just feel like 3 is so absolutely limited.

That was the entire point for me to play the beta....to see if I thought it would be something I would like to buy. As I said though, Im on the fence. I mean it was really fun doing the missions and even the free roam missions and world events were nice. Even though it takes forever for an event to happen. Im not so sure how I feel about the super chargers in PVP though. It seems a little hectic for everyone to have a one hit kill attack. A guy attacked me while in the tank...I used my super and not only was it an instant kill but it destroyed the tank too. plus I was disappointed by not having any duels. Maybe there will be some in the final product.

As for the level cap...I don't mind the cap of at lvl 8 but I feel getting to lvl 10 in the beta would have been nice since I have been getting lvl 9-10 item pickups.

Im sure with more content I would love it and I know there will be more content but atm I think your right...I should wait a bit before buying.

Played the 360 version and daaaaamn. I was expecting a drop in the visual department, but not that hard a drop. It still manages to look...good considering how big the map actually is.

Wonder how much bigger the actual game will be.

I have to agree with you there, Zack. I haven't even caught a glimpse of XBox One/PS4 quality and I could tell that the visuals were quite subpar. Mostly on the few panning shots I watched, mainly. In combat everything seems to have a good amount of detail.

I played through the intro, and I have to say I liked the pacing, a lot. The ambience was solid in my opinion, I really felt the sense of dread at being stuck in enemy territory. The gunplay was solid, but that's really no surprise given Bungie's history. I chose the Warlock class, and while I'm not really good at handling grenades, I think I'll be able to have a lot of fun with it once I unlock some more abilities.

If I had the time and money, I could definitely see myself investing both heavily into the game when it finally launches. For now I'll be glad I can give it a run for a short while.

The gunplay is extremely solid. Very good sound indicators as well.

It seems to be a well developed game. It's going to be a good one. A great one? Who knows.

I still don't like 3rd person in this game. Totally brings me out of the game.

thumb up


Personally, I would love to make a hybrid class of Long Range and Melee (for Hunter). Sure, I won't be able to maximize skills in either area but that's kind of my play style.
