Maybe I need to watch more videos but I am not that excited for this game, I will most likely get it because of the hype but the couple videos I have watched just havent done it for me. It kind of reminds me of Borderlands, looks like a basic open area shooter but maybe I am missing something.

*just watched the MP trailer, that looked descent.
 
This game has been hyped so much but I do not think it will be anything special, especially multiplayer. This game doesnt stand a chance(multiplayer) with the new COD, BF and MCC coming out
 
I am not getting this for the MP but I will probably play MP from time to time. I am getting it for the co-op MMO style experience with friends and the character upgrading. I liked Borderlands but it got boring fast. I never got that feeling with Destiny. The enemies in Destiny are more fun to fight and melee actually works(it sucks in BL). This is a Sci Fi shooter version of Diablo mixed with Halo.

Pretty much feel the same way. The Crucible was terribly unbalanced in the beta. Half the weapon types were basically worthless, and the vehicles were pretty much invincible if you were on foot with no super. Im aware that the full game could be different than what was shown in the beta, but if the full game is anything like the beta I will spend enough time to get the special Iron Banner items, and that will be it.

The PvE, and loot is what I am buying the game for.
 
I played the beta and have watched every video. This is my must have game of the year. I'm not big on multiplayer, though will give a try, it's the SP I'm excited to play. I can't wait until the 9th, which also happens to be a day I took off from work. :hehe:

Diablo, Madden or Destiny. What to hold me over until Forza Horizon 2? Enjoyed the PVE during beta but PVP was underwhelming at best. If you want a MP game this is not it which leads me to looking at Diablo. If its only about PVE then its hard to dismiss Diablo...unless, of course, you've already bought it once. So then I think...maybe Madden is good this year?
 
Bungie Weekly Update 8/22/14

This week at Bungie, we entered the home stretch.
Have we said that before? Feels like it. The development of Destiny has been a race with many milestones. All along the way, there was always a feeling that this team was sprinting from one finish line to the next. Another new build. A live fire exercise with friends and family. A mass public showcase.
Now, we’re very close to launch – the final weeks. This next milestone carries a heavier weight of finality. Destiny is Gold. Discs are being pressed and packed into crates. Destiny is done, in some respects. Even now, so close to the end, it still feels like we’re just getting started.

Have we said that before, too? As the saying goes: This is not even our final form. Though Destiny may be basking in the gold light of release, we’re already looking ahead to the next milestone, and the next one after that.
So, the launch of Destiny on September 9th is an end, but it is also a beginning. How we’ll keep things lively on the frontier is a longer conversation – the sort of thing you could base an entire discussion around – a conversation that we hope is long and fruitful and just getting started in its own right.

Regretful 123 How goes the trip in Germany? Learn anything new? What experience can you tell us about your wild adventure to the other side of the world?
Germany is awesome, and so was gamescom. You always learn something when you meet amazing people from all over the world who love games.
gamescom_booth_staff.jpg

The booth team of gamescom Mentors really found their stride. At E3, we had Bungie guys and some highly-trusted guest Speakers from the community to usher the world into the Destiny arena. In Köln, we threw a bunch of locals into the mix that handled the Crucible. We had never met them, but they had proven themselves in the Beta. From there, the Vanguard/Recruit relationship bloomed in many languages as thousands of Guardians stood in line to prove themselves. Kinda blows your mind when you lose control of an event like that and Destiny just flows between new friends in a chance encounter.
Squishie1984 Can you tell us about the possibility of another class/subclass?
You have yet to maximize your first sub-class. We have yet to even let you try a second one. Ask us again once you have mastered the six classes that you’ll have access to in Destiny, and we’ll show what we learned while we watched you do it.
SUDDOTH2 Will Changing my Gamertag after the beta is over affect my Emblem that I get for playing?
I asked The Wolf. He said:
"Changing my Gamertag" can mean two different things. If you use the Xbox Live feature to rename your Gamertag and keep the account, you're all set. If you link your Bungie.net login to a different Xbox Live account, your Beta reward won't persist.
The Wolf never lies. Don’t swap ‘em out. Your gaming account is your connection to your Guardian, be it a Gamertag or a PSN ID. Nurture, defend, and honor your logins.
ComedyGamerBen Anything news-wise coming up about the Reef?
In less than three weeks, you’ll be welcome to all the news from the Reef that you can discover for yourself. I ain’t saying a damn thing about the story until then, and that’s a promise.
ninjadragonkllr What time will the servers be open for the public in North America and worldwide?
When it is September 9th somewhere in the world, and you have access to your very own version of Destiny, it will be time for you to create a character that will keep you company for a good, long time. Retailers will stick to time-zones. Our servers won’t know the difference. Retailers will break street date. Our servers won’t.
Isaac Andrews Will you make Sparrow races?
We’ve made a game that can be whatever you want it to be. Will you make Sparrow races? Some Gunslingers I know cobbled together a tour back in Halo 2 with nothing but some gentlemen’s agreements and a few course marshals with sniper rifle scopes for spotting the race. We’ll be watching you, to see how you spend your time in this brave new world. The ways in which you surprise us will spark the inspiration that leads to innovation.
BG gamer What do those cool looking trading cards do for the full game?
You’ll find out before the launch of Destiny. Bungie.net was updated earlier today. Like the new navs? We’ll update it again before launch. Busy, busy, busy… Once the cards are in play, we’ll direct you to the proper table.
Zokz18 Will [Destiny special events] work like they did in the Beta when you opened the doors for the Iron Banner for two hours?
No! The Beta was all about driving traffic toward the game at key moments. Those brief and urgent flash mobs of violence and glory were what we needed to test our spine.
Next time, the Banner will fly for longer. Everyone will have a chance to rally to its call.
XxMrHollywood Will the clan member cap remain at 75?
How does 100 sound? We want clans to be like tribes or teams or any other unit where everyone knows everyone and they’re all aiming at the same target. If you want to stitch together a larger force with a common vibe, we’re giving you the ties you need to unite your clans. Have a ball with that. Think of it as a way to give your huge clan some specialized squads with their own sub-forum.
We’ll hunt through these alliances week after week in search of heroes.
Im SteelAssassn In what ways can we expect clans to interact within the game?
We hope they’ll band together to tackle everything that Destiny has to offer. Clans can build their strength by outfitting their members with what they need to kick ass in every mode. That will mean sharing activities. That will mean playing games. We need clans to bring this new world alive and infuse it with some culture and civilization.
We hope Clans will have storied collisions in competitive matchmaking. It would be awesome if they were known to many people, instead of just each other. Clans can set a great example for lone wolves who aren’t sure about adding a team name to their nameplate.
The very best Clans will be the ones that can meet every challenge in Destiny. They will be the most vivid warriors out there in the wild. Destiny will serve up achievements that only Clans will be able to claim.
nickelinch Will we be able to travel directly from one location to another without going to orbit?
Bill Nye the Science Guy would tell you no. Neil deGrasse Tyson would probably back him up. Stephen Hawking might start talking about point-to-point wormholes, but Leonard Nimoy is alive to remind him that such things are not logical. Orbit is an inescapable wonder of space travel. Enjoy the view.
Jackbandit Is it going to be possible to trade items in the full game?
Only with your enemies. Trade your ammo for their loot. You know the best way to deliver ammo to a Cabal Centurian? You’ll figure it out, and it’s tons of fun.
As for swapping irons in the Tower? Nope. We want you to earn ‘em. You should be able to tell a badass story for every sweet jewel in your arsenal. Once you earn them, the various Guardians under your account will be able to trade them, but weapons belong to the players who acquire them through action and bravery.
We hope you enjoyed this Weekly Update. There are only two more for you to read before you can play Destiny. Think on that. We’ll be sweeping up the dance floors in the Tower until then.
Two. More. Updates.

Destiny is now available for digital download from Xbox.com to your XB1. Is Destiny the first pre-load game for the XB1?

Nope, Madden was.

Also, looks like someone jumped the gun at MS posting the pre-load option.

Update: "We're thrilled to make Destiny available for pre-order and pre-download for Xbox One owners around the world. This option was available for a short period of time before the official pre-order window opened. We'll have more details to share soon about the pre-order and pre-download window for Destiny."

Yeah the links for the Destiny Digital Guardian Edition are broken. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/Search?q=Destiny digital guardian edition

I was psyched when I fired up the XB1 and saw Destiny available to dl :(
 
Destiny will pre-load on Xbox One (update) 3 days before
Xbox One owners will be able to pre-order and pre-load Bungie's Destiny before the game officially launches on Sept. 9, according to an Xbox.com listing for the Destiny Digital Guardian Edition that has since been pulled.
Pre-orders and pre-loads are currently unavailable, the page said before it was taken offline. But the Destiny listing indicated that the game would unlock on its release date at 12:01 am PT/3:01 am ET. The file size of Destiny's Xbox One download was not specified [18gb actually]
