I thought the Gamestop thing was just it was the most pre-ordered new IP in Gamestop history. But that probably means in all game history too considering how big Gamestop is.

Midnight PST according to the timer :(

So people who buy the physical version at midnight can play it immediately, but digital has to wait until 3am EST?

That would make midnight launches in any time zone but PST lame. Here's your game! Now wait 1-3 hours to play.

Grinding will involve playing strikes and PVP. You know, fun FPSer content, the reason you buy a shooter by the people that made Halo.

Seriously. The grinding will be "playing the game". Just like playing your 1,000th round of battlefield. Grind away.

I just can't take the frustration that comes with competitive multiplayer for some reason.

I find the devil herb and alcohol to help with this. Playing BF4 sober is not fun.

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

Hopefully they'll just use the party leaders stats for finding games. Have the leader be the worst guy, get matched with bad players, stomp away.

Before broadband internet was a thing in every house and console multiplayer over the internet wasn't a big thing, yeah we did that. But it's more fun to us to play together against other random people. You play your same friends over and over and you get to learn their playstyle and it gets kinda lame. I can see the appeal though.

Sometimes the occasional 3v3 friends only wacky rules is fun, but it's not something I require in Destiny and am totally willing to wait if that means the other stuff gets polished first.

Alright, folks, I've been in the dark on what Destiny is and even more in the dark on why everyone's excited about it. What specifically is it going to do to make me want to play it? What separates it from the pack?

It's bad form to post someone elses's contact info of any kind if they haven't volunteered it themselves, yes.

Only the random people who are in the servers he joins (in any game) may know his video game screen name. That's dumb.

No. All they do is let others know you're not a dirty poor that can't afford a fancy loading screen decoration.

Plus it gives them the opportunity to release "ultra hard mode" raids or whatever as dlc. You can beat the ones we said were really hard, how about these new super hard ones bet you can't beat them. $15.

Bungie.

I guess your right. Using the same play style for every encounter sure sounds like max fun. Bungie sure is dumb for forcing you to play outside your comfort zone for raid bosses.


Edit: I swear I read it in an interview about things being immune to void poo poo and needing to change stats

It has a timer and is limited to three shots. It was the best of the supers in beta and would constantly result in triple kills.

False Warlock was the best because you could wipe out an entire team capping a flag in one go

False Titan was the best because punching people is :black101:
