I'm not gonna dick around. I had an absolute blast playing this. If Halo was an online RPG, this would be it. There are three different classes, each class with their own unique abilities. As you level up, you earn new abilities and upgrades to existing abilities. As you play missions and explore the world, you'll find guns and armor dropped from enemies, though they're mostly dropped from high rank enemies and bosses. This is what concerned me the most before playing, I wasn't sure what drop rates were. While they're certainly not as high as Borderlands, they're high enough to feel rewarded for exploration and tough battles. You're also rewarded at the end of each mission. I was very satisfied with it all and always felt like playing just one more mission.
After going through a few missions on my own last night, went through one with @VaLLiancE. Was fun, but for some reason my headset on the X1 wasn't working at all. His voice was coming out of my TV and not the headset, and he couldn't hear me at all. I don't think it's the game, I think something is up with how I have my X1 configured. Any thoughts? Anyway, decided to buy the X1 Stereo Headset. With this and Evolve coming out soon I need something more reliable.
u might try in the settings option of the game to have voice come out only through headset, i am not sure if that will work or not but just thought i would mention it. I dont have a x1 so i dont know if setup with it has anything to do with it or not.
Got you both beat, 46 or 47 in December. Pretty much stopped counting at 40.42 will be 43 in September. Sucks getting old!
This is how fix the party chat bug:
1. All players snap the party while in the game so every one can hear each other
2. Quit the game by going to the main dash and using the start button to quit.
3. Everyone unsnap the party.
4. Start the game. Problem fixed.
Experience over 3x more content in the Beta (works on PS4, Dunno about Xbone)
Fair warning... You WILL get your arse handed to you.

So does the beta have like an ending? I don't really understand if I'm even going through the story correctly. I just do mission, go to Orbit, pick another one, etc. Now I'm only level 5 and I think I've done every mission on the map except for that big one right in the middle. Do more pop up after I finish that one or do I just have to play ones I already beat over again in order to keep leveling up?
There should be at least 2 more missions you can do, there should be one at teh very top of the earth map on the left. also there is a mission on the moon which i havent tried yet, need certain requirements for that i forgot what they were though.
I thought the moon one said you can do it at retail release when you hover the cursor over it.
Moon mission isn't available. There are five story missions and one strike missions. Plus the free roam mission where you can pick up jobs on the fly from beacons
It plays more traditionally than Halo, imo. Halo's combat mechanics involve Melee, grenades, and Firearms in almost equal measure. ADS is entirely too prominent in Destiny to feel like Halo. It breaks up the movement too much. The whole idea of a slow charge for grenades in Desinty also creates a huge gulf in the play dynamics.
I DO like the double jump for the Hunter class- makes the engagements more fun because I can jump over cover and come down on enemies. I'm bummed I didn't get to try the Blade Dancer.
Ok, I may have missed the top one on the left. It's kind of hard to tell if I've already done a mission or not. Maybe I'm just missing something though. I did the "Last Array" mission last night solo and that was a fun time. Felt pretty epic to me doing it alone.
i guess i was wrong on the amount of missions, i thought the moon mission was playable cause it was showing on the map but guess not, i think u have done all the main story missions available right now then, u can alwasy do the exploration mode which u can do mini missions to earn vanguard points. i been playing crucible alot lately though
I grabbed the beta on my work X1's, my home X1's, home 360's, and work 360's. I've got it everywhere now.
Honestly, I think the visuals really are last gen. The character models are about Mass Effect quality (if that), the landscapes (while beautifully designed and colored) have low-res textures everywhere, and the geometric complexity is quite poor. The lighting looks like slightly more advanced lighting from last gen, but it's not much better.; higher quality variants of the same kind of lighting done last gen. The depth of field looks alright, but no where near something like Ryse, or Infamous.
Overall, all of my suspicions and assessments prior to actually playing it were accurate. This is last-gen visuals in 1080p with slight improvements across the board. I wouldn't be surprised if Halo 4 running in 1080p and at 60fps looks/feels more next gen than Destiny.
The gameplay also feels dated, but perhaps that's because I've been playing so much Titanfall. Games like Assassin's Creed, Titanfall, etc. give the user so much freedom in terms of movement, climbing on structures, etc... Destiny just feels like Halo: Combat Evolved. It feels old school. I kinda' liked that feeling for nastalgia's sake, but the gameplay (so far) feels very dated (though admittedly, I'm not far into the game yet).
The cursor on UI is ridiculous, and makes no sense.
I love the music. I wonder how much of it is from Marty, and how much isn't from him? Either way, it's great.
The Cortana replacement is fine. Male instead of female... which is cool, because my character is female, so now it's like gender reversal of Cortana/MC.
The enemies all seem a bit like Elites from Reach, in terms of their attack and defense strategies.
I like the blend of third and first person.
I like that loading screens are more interesting than black screens with wheels, but so far - there's A LOT of loading. This is next gen, people. There's more loading in this game than in Halo: Combat Evolved. Sad.
I like how Earth feels so barren. They nailed that sense of "this has long-since been destroyed".
...but seriously, the 360 version looks good for last gen, and PS4/X1 versions just look "remastered" last-gen gaming.
The story seems interesting... but (again), I'm not far in it yet.
I did like the seamless cross-generational experience. I loaded up Destiny on my 360 after playing on X1, and my character and state all moved with me.
So far, no way I'd buy this game... certainly not at full price. Maybe if I get it for $30 or so... but no way it's worth $60.
Bungie - seriously - get your heads out of the sand, and look at all the great work other people in the industry have done. You could learn A LOT... and to stay relevant, you'll need to.

Yep. I think Titanfall's spoiled me on that level. I want freedom like that in all my games now.
