Can I use my old 360 headset or is that the wrong kind of jack? I like this one if youre running game audio through your speakers: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K786AFE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Has great sound and a good mic. Earpiece looks big but is pretty comfortable. And it's inexpensive!

magimix posted:They are quite long; there is no other way to put it. That said, on the disk upgrade front, you should check out the main PS4 thread. I don't have the page number to hand, so you'll need to hit the search, but I'm quite sure there was recently a series of nice effort-posts from people on the whole disk upgrade thing. It may help, but might not be a transformative experience. Not to mention if you're in a Fireteam, you're locked to the slowest loading member so even if your drive is blazing fast, you still don't get to shoot anything til everyone can.

Yeah, I did the same but I'm waiting til Thursday to take my time off Just In Case. Beta was pretty consistent though and from reading about Bungie's nerve center, it sounds like they are really planning for the load.

The shooting definitely feels like Halo: Reach so the comparison isn't too far off. Destiny is kind of its own thing made up of imitations of all the best things about several games. The dynamic world in Explore reminds me of Guild Wars 2. The large environments, loot and treasure boxes remind me of Borderlands. Destiny has sort of distilled the things I liked about those games and given its level of polish, not to mention how gorgeous it is, ends up being better than the sum of its parts, IMO.

Characters will transfer between PS3 and PS4, and Xbox360 to Xbone. So you're good. You will have to buy a PS4 copy of the game though.

The Milkman posted:Since the beta I've played through Halo ODST/Reach/4, Killzone 3, and Resistance 3. That's where I'm at in life. Honestly I don't think H4 was even that bad. It certainly was not as good as Reach though. I could probably play ODST/Reach another time before Destiny and be a happy man. I'm still holding out hope Bungie wants to do space combat in Destiny ala Reach at some point.

We must tear eachother apart of the circle will not complete! Blood for the Blood God!  On a serious note, I think I'm going to try to disconnect from Destiny media til release. It'll be tough because I'm fiending for a fix, but I think it'll pay off on launch day. There are so many what-if's and no answers it seems silly to keep theorycrafting in the meantime.

WE DOIN IT NOW posted:Keep in mind this game doesn't have healing, aggro management, or dedicated crowd control that actually make all the traditional mmo raid poo poo 'hard'.

ufarn posted:I think Explore mode is the designated farming mode, for gathering crafting materials and stuff like that. Especially since the enemies keep spawning. Yeah, I think the "Gather 10 Fallen Asses" quests mostly exist to anchor you to the Public Event areas. I found if I spent any time exploring in that mode, I was fighting Devil Walkers and defending Warsats constantly.

Dystram posted:Unfortunately I didn't play the alpha or beta, and most of the videos I've watched seem to focus on whether it's like Halo or CoD, rather than, you know, actual game features, so I hadn't heard mention of free-roam exploration where you can gun down respawning enemies. The way it works is missions take place on a given planet. You aren't gated off from anything during the mission. Your start location may vary based on the mission is all. You can still explore to your heart's content and poo poo respawns like mad. There is a mode called Exploration which drops you into that planet without a mission taking up your indicator. You can then find beacons to do mini-missions to earn materials/exp/etc. Does that make more sense?

Fuligin posted:I get that, it was still a bit much when I was getting shot in the back while still opening a loot chest or something. I only played the alpha though, so perhaps it's been tweaked since then. It seemed to me that respawns always happen in the same place so once you know where those spots are, you can put yourself in safe hallways or areas pretty easily before checking your menu and such.

I took fall damage most often when trying to double jump as high as I could off of high things. It happened a lot in that sewage drain area in Old Russia on the way to the Skywatch. I'm pretty sure since you can activate your second jump at any time during a fall, though, you can negate it pretty easily. EDIT: superh posted:There was no fall damage whatsoever in alpha, I remember reading something where the devs commented about that. I experienced minor, token fell damage when I fell from extreme heights in the beta - probably just for gameplay feedback. We're so conditioned to it that it would feel wrong without it. I'm almost positive there was fall damage in the alpha. It's been a while since I've played it but I recall taking fall damage in both the alpha and beta. EDIT2: the only thing I can find with some brief googling is this dumb little thread: http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/65372688/0/0/1 VVVV Levantine fucked around with this message at 12:27 on Sep 5, 2014 |

Even if I download everything available ahead of time, am I still gonna get stuck in update hell when servers launch because additional files are necessary? If that's the case I guess I'll just go with retail. You'll have the same problem if you go with retail, extra files being needed and all. Unless you really want the disc, go digital.
