To all these people complaining about a FPS's story mode length; someone please show me any shooter that when you just plowed through the story you had a 10+ hour game. No shooter since the PS2 era has taken me longer than 10 hours to get through on normal difficulty. Destiny has more of an RPG feel to its explorations, a ton of stuff to unlock and explore, Triple-A multiplayer modes, and more co-op stuff than any shooter has ever given us. WTF are these people expecting from the story length? A final fantasy game? Even those main stories have gotten short.

Good news is he was fired near the end of development so it's still basically his score.

Apparently I put in just shy of 19 hours in the beta, and maybe half that in the alpha. I feel like I've already gotten my money's worth, and the game isn't even out yet. Also, rocking a <1 KDR in the Crucible, but it was always fun regardless (except on the moon - gently caress the moon).

I spent 46hours during this beta.  Really, if you are worried at all about the length you'll get out of the game. Feel free to wait and not get it. There's absolutely nothing anyone can say to change your mind, probably. I've found an absolute staggering amount of potential for myself, but know it won't carry over for every player.

Tyberius posted:There is also the secondary progression system of the Light stat which I'm sure is the gear check system in place for endgame strikes and raids. The companion app data files have strikes where the lowest level / difficulty is 22 and the high difficulty is 28, so yeah, people worrying about the cap being 20 shouldn't. It seems to me that you gain levels 1-20 with XP, then 21+ with Light. Whatever that is..

From what I read and saw it looks like Light is a stat on your gear that grants you effective levels (so can bypass more enemy damage reduction and I *think* gain your own damage reduction against enemy attacks). Gonna be interesting to see how it pans out. RPGs have been dancing around flat our granting new levels with their power creep mechanics for years, this is the first time I've seen one actually do it.

I know it's a minor thing but do we think the little fly-up jump out animation way of joining a friend (On the ground) that they showed in early videos has been scrapped? Have they said anything?

This article makes me sad:quote:The early draft of the score, O'Donnell explained, was largely written without any idea of what the game looked or played like. When he was finished, he jokingly said, "I dumped 50 minutes of music on [the development team and said 'Deal with that. Make a game as good as that." rip

I'm glad everyone else enjoyed the score so much. I didn't realize until now it was the thing that has stuck with me the most since beta. Can't believe they sacked the composer.Quest For Glory II posted:On the other hand I had absolutely no interest in this game until I played the beta. Seconding this. I had zero interest in this game, but I may have fallen for their scheme now that I am seriously considering a preorder. I would probably go with the PS3, since that's where the people I'd play with are, but what is the word on a PC release or cross-platform play between PS4/PS3?

I also hope the various crucible maps will still get their own opening music (at least, that is something I noticed it with venus and first light).

You character on the Playstation platforms or Xbox platforms are the same. So you can go back and forth between playing your same character on PS3 and PS4 or Xbox 360 and Xbox One as much as you'd like, according to Bungie.

Sorry, I hoped I made it clear that you wouldn't share it between companies. You can go back and forth between PS3 and PS4. And you can go back and forth between 360 and One. But you cannot play with a PS3 player on the PS4, and you cannot play with a Playstation player on the Xbox.

Sorry for asking a question that's probably been answered a bunch of times, but I couldn't find it in the OP or last few pages - pre-order bonuses are just early unlocks of higher-level gear, right? Including the Gamestop sparrow or whatever?Triggsz posted:You're paying $150 to cheat at a console shooter. I'm not getting an XIM but it feels like it's more about kbm being more comfortable to the user than controllers more than anything.

So does anyone know what exactly qualifies as joining a faction yet? You have to wear an article of clothing basically but all the articles I saw for purchase under those factions required level 20. Do you have to be level 20 to join or will there be cheaper articles upon launch? I guess if it DID require level 20 it'd stretch out the longevity of multiplayer a bit.

No one knows that but you can rest assured that if you don't pre-order to get it, Activision will make it available for you to buy down the line. Can anyone name pre-order/retailer DLC that wasn't made available at a later date for everyone?

I'm pretty skeptical that plugging in a XIM4 is going to give you an advantage over someone using a controller. The extra precision a mouse gives is pretty much wiped out by the imprecision involved in mapping your mouse motion to the input values for a thumbstick. And even though mouse controls usually imply it, you won't be able to turn any faster than normal, and that dissonance between your expectations of how KBM should feel versus the reality of how it's translated probably makes it overall less precise than just using the controller as intended. That was definitely my experience with Dust 514, anyway.

I pretty much run max sensitivity with taller sticks and the auto aim would be frustrating as gently caress with a keyboard/mouse setup for Destiny.
