I definitely will but that's still a flaw IMO. Shouldn't have to play up to that point (guessing 6-7 hours) for the game to start really shining.

Yeah, really depends on whether you enjoy the game or not. I've been enjoying the game throughout up to level 20. It's best played with other people though. I've played through all story line with others on here.

That's the thing, Destiny is best enjoyed with friends. It's so much more fun than playing alone.
 
Up until Forza Horizon 2, Destiny was my favorite game I have played since the new gen consoles were released.

I've got Destiny on top of FH2 but then again, I'm not an avid racer fan maybe that's why. I know you are.

It is not a flaw, it is how these games are. You put in a number of hours to learn the game and then you get unleashed(so to speak) and the game, characters, systems...etc really open up. I do not know which level this happens at in Destiny, but I recall reading that it was like level 24.

Before gaming, I am a car nut through and through....live, breathe cars.

So you are small, hard, shiny, dirty, and prone to being stubborn.

Well this looks like a good spot to set up my folding chair and cooler filled with beer. Bring on the show people!

The spin will be great no matter which way it goes and of course if the PS4 wins we will get the usual end of the Xbox world posts.

Lets the games begin!
 
Would be a big surprise what with Destiny bring treated as a PS4 exclusive but at the same time it didn't do the business like most expected (still did great).

Been reading around and general consensus seems to be that the X1 sold well , just the PS4 sold even better. We'll know in a few hours.

I would hope so. PS4 had the reduced price Destiny bundle and the biggest game of the year. There's no way the Xbox One should outsell it.

On the contrary, there were far more attractive X1 deals out in September. Free Madden '15 with choice of free game, in which in some cases you could get Destiny free.

Didn't say anything about deals and who had the better ones. I'd imagine the console that has sold better every single month without out trying, with the biggest game of the year in a discounted bundle, with exclusive advertising for that game, would still continue to be the console selling leader. I'd think it would be no competition.

Money talks and in this month's case, X1 had far more deals that decreased its base cost for the consumer. Let's look at a few examples:

PS4 with destiny bundle: $449.99

Destiny - $59.99
PS4 - $390

X1 with Madden '15 and Destiny free: $399.99

Destiny - $59.99
Madden '15 - $59.99
X1 - $280

X1 with free game and $50 GC: $399.99

free game: $59.99
$50 GC
X1 - $290

X1 with 2 free games, Kinect and 12 months Live - $499.99

free game: $59.99
free game: $59.99
12 months live - I'll make it cheaper than normal $40

X1 with Kinect - $340

So it's actually not hard to see why Pachter and many others believe MS has a good chance of winning September NPD. Essentially a $100 differential in terms of value you're getting for the price.

Free year of PS+ also, correct?
 
Then it was the European bundle that was the super bundle I think.

Don't think so. Shows only 1 month of PS+ again for new users.

  • Limited Edition Glacier White PS4 Destiny Bundle (€439.99 RRP, available at selected retailers)
  • Jet Black PS4 Destiny Bundle (€439.99 RRP)
  • Piano Black 500GB PS3 Destiny Bundle (€299.99 RRP)
The ultimate Destiny experience is only on PlayStation, with every copy of the game on PlayStation featuring a ton of exclusive content. Not only that, but every PS4 Destiny Bundle will also let you try out the PlayStation Plus service for one month at no additional cost, letting you experience everything Destiny has to offer.
 
If they bundle FH2 or Sunset & with an attractive price here in Germany, I may get my x1. So far these are my 2 most looking forward to games.
 
lol@neogaf, they are on the verge of a meltdown over the thought of Xbox winning one month of sales in the Pacther thread. It will be hilarious if MS did win for all the reactions. MS has deserved all that has happened but they have been working hard to get back on the right track.

I myself hope MS can take a month or even a few. Any gamer is crazy if they want just Sony or MS to rule the market.
