Anyone else thought the Cabal look like those blokes from the beginning of Fifth Element?

Am I insane for thinking I saw that there would be three sub-classes for each main class? I was sure that I read it somewhere...

The game seems oriented towards such a pattern. The subclasses we've seen so far are all focused on a particular "element" and there are three such elements. Each class currently only has a subclass for two out of three elements. The reasonable expectation is that each class would have one subclass per element. Void/Arc/Solar.

As I've gotten older and started to get smashed by twitchy kids with too much time, I've noticed that I've kind of naturally started playing like an old dude. I tend to stay out of heavy fighting and make my plays with timing and planning. I still like battlefield because there's scope for a grizzled strategist to get work done. Flat out twitch death match and stuff kills me, but in objective games I'm fine.

Seconding or thirding the gotta get gud at pvp again. It took the whole beta for me to start getting anywhere but dead last in my squads. I blame it on not playing any fps since Halo 2 came out.

Flat out twitch death match and stuff kills me, but in objective games I'm fine. I'm not that old yet, but I've always gotten by with just knowing the map better. Know the popular corners and frequent choke points and you don't need twitch reflexes when your gun is already pointed at them. That said I've been slowly moving towards single player or co-op games because I just can't take the frustration that comes with competitive multiplayer for some reason.

Over a sufficiently long span of games everyone will find themselves doing a lot better at PvP. This isn't actually related to you getting better, it's just how matchmaking works.

Pretty much. Destiny will almost certainly have the benefit of a giant playerbase, and with quality matchmaking, eventually you should be put into games with players just as good or bad as you are Though I suspect parties may still gently caress with this, they usually do

Have the leader be the worst guy, get matched with bad players, stomp away.

Auto rifles will probably always be best for skilled players (at close-mid range) because they aren't balanced around people being able to get nonstop headshots. That's the way it seemed in beta anyways. The straight dps advantage from a well-aimed auto rifle vs a well-aimed any other gun was nuts.

The populations in that game weren't great on the PS4 and the Bone was even worse. the 360 has the healthiest population. I'm set for PS4 destiny, I hope that's the console of choice by a landslide.

The time spent since the beta ended is now roughly the time left until the game comes out. In other news, August is still August.

Don't have my second monitor hooked-up at the moment, but I think it should. I had to resize the emblem in Rainmeter, but was otherwise easy to set up. It uses VLC's video wallpaper.

I know when I first saw the game I thought "that's the game that I will buy a ps4 for." I knew I didn't want to get a launch ps4 and wanted to wait for any kinks to get ironed out in "version 2" of the console and was hoping for a bundle. I was kind of surprised when I learned it would be coming out on ps3/360. I think the number of people waiting for this game and not wanting to be early adopters will give a strong ps4 player base.

Originally I was going to get this on ps3, but then my dad offered to give me his Xbox one in exchange for doing him a solid while he goes out of town with my mom. Figured what the hell, canceled my ps3 ghost edition and said I'd just get the xbone digital guardian edition because I prefer shooters with the Xbox controller anyhow and hell, my xbone will probably be fps central. Then all my friends decided to get it for ps4 if they had it or ps3 with the intention of upgrading to a 4 later. As of today I am at $365/450 for my Destiny PS4 bundle. I need to sell these import vita games I own, and then sell my dads xbone games when I get them and I should have it paid off (he has nothing I want or don't own on PC). Then it's just a matter of finding $100 for the white sony gold headset to play in style. So loving excited to see this thing on ps4 on my tv. I thought it looked great on ps3, but I was super sad my characters face on the tower was all blurred.

I also kind of thought it was odd that they decide to blur your character when viewed close up. Maybe there was some rendering problems in the beta they were trying to hide!
