Gaming Destiny | Rise of Iron launch

Kind of worried about the story on this one, I'd love it to have a story driven campaign but all signs seem to be MMO.
Still getting it though, going to throw my PSN in here because I can't be fecked missing out on the raids/strike teams. :D

Yeah. The story will take a backseat and will fit the game and it's mechanics and structure. Hopefully it can atleast be somewhat interesting and gripping enough, but I'm not expecting anything hugely compelling.

I actually think that's ok though for the game they're going for. Coming up with a story first could have limited what they could do with the game and they wanted to do something ambitious so I couldn't hold it against them.

If they manage a great story despite it, then fair play to them.

But they did hype this up and saying it could be as big as Halo/Star wars, so I suppose they have something up their sleeve! ;)
It has to be said though that the gameplay itself looks pretty slick and really fun to play, and a FPS with an option to explore is pretty sweet.
Any truth in this rumour that Jupiter and Saturn are in the game?

I'd be interested to see how they implement Jupiter and Saturn into this, if it is true.

Well, they could have a backstory and lore and world building that's incredibly good. But the actual narrative of the game I'm not sure will be particularly great I meant.

Yeah, I had an absolute blast playing through the beta. Loved it.
 
Add ILocka on Xbox. Can't be bothered to search back for your GT.

Will do mate.

Reading the Halo comparisons has made me reminisce about the epic struggle to go from Brigadier to General on Halo 3. Team Slayer, Doubles, Lone Wolf, I tried everything. That moment when I finally reached it. :drool:
 
I didn't pre-order this for PS4 for some odd reason.. wonder if I can still get a copy.
 
It's already in a store here in Kraków but I pre-ordered from another store and they should dispatch today. I don't think serves will work today so it doesn't really matter as long as I get my copy tomorrow.
 
Mine was dispatched on Saturday via Royal Mail recorded delivery, does anybody know if that is a separate delivery service than the post? my mail arrived already but no game ffs!

To be fair I've had mixed answers to this - at times its come together, other times its been delivered separately by a Royal Mail driver...a couple of hours after the normal post :wenger:
 
Nothing from gamestop yet about it being dispatched. I only ordered it on Thursday to be fair.

So your telling me there's a chance :drool:

Thanks mate.

In my experience they tend not to deliver it until release date now. It's always dispatched a few days early to make sure it's not late.
 
Apparently you'll be able to play today. feck it, again I've ordered something online and it's not even been dispatched yet, if they don't dispatch until 8 PM I'll cancel and pick it up in a store today.
 
How do some of you fcukers have this already? Meanwhile I haven't even had a bloody email... you slags.

It's in stores EVERYWHERE here. Store next to my work has them. Store next to my gym has them. Every single store in Kraków has them.

Meanwhile the store I've ordered it from have not dispatched yet and are unsure whether they will dispatch today at all. They usually delievered on the release day every single time, now I go with them and they won't.

Pre-loaded on Xbox, then changed region to New Zealand so it unlocks at midnight their time (1pm here).
 
Is anybody here downloading this digitally? I'm becoming tempted seeing as I didn't pre-order.
 
Until whenever Dwazza next feels like changing it I imagine. I'm happy with it though, beats Glock
 
Yeah why not? It's hardly offensive anymore and used just as often in a friendly context that you would just throw around in ordinary conversation.

All my mates would say I'm a cock, it's hardly a big deal

Hope this works @Twigg
 
I broke it to my GF that I got an Xbone in time for Destiny last night. She actually took it well, I thought she'd be mad.

Seriously, why would she have an issue?

Fair enough, suits you ;) You should keep it...

Post feedback/thoughts when you get a chance...
 
Didn't really like the beta tbh. Was very disappointed considering the hype it received. Are the first reviews being released today?

I'm only on for a few hours as I've got work, and assume I will just be playing over the beta stuff again (for like the 4th time as I did all 3 classes on the beta). So I won't have anything to comment on in particular that you don't already know.

If there is any differences though I'll post my thoughts.
