Gaming Destiny | Rise of Iron launch

Is anyone up for an unsociable night in playing Destiny later? Had a few fun missions until Solius kicked me from the team because I made fun of his double jump.

Respect the double jump.
 
Level 9 now. Killing it in the Free For All and Death Match variants of multiplayer. Think it's a nice twist that you can take your own weapons in to those games. I was expecting to be overpowered by the Level 20+ guys but i went 20 and 5 in my first game and 16 and 4 in my second. Really enjoying it!

I have an entire night free if anyone is online on XB1 and up for some missions and/or crucible games.
 
These guys share a very similar opinion as me on this game.

As reviews go, that isn't very good.
Mine is better:
Early review here:

Good find, My feelings as well. bollocks this has a 1 month lifespan let alone 10 years. if their goal is to sell off 4-5 hour content packs for 9.99 every 5 months there going to piss a lot of people off. Completely miss sold the game in the PR and once the initial "this is a new game" feeling goes away, people will just drop it. if your looking for a "fun multiplayer experience with mates" there are better games out there.

The thing that sold me during the hype train was the story, I assumed it was going to have a very well thought out interactive story that would spur you on, with the co-op adding to the experience. Right now its basically the fun of doing something with mates, which you can do with almost anything.
Let's give them time to play their cards eh? How long has it been? Not even a week...
Fair enough the story isn't as fleshed out as you expected, but @Warlock1 and others have been saying from the outset of this thread that they expected it to be barebones so they set their expectations well and maybe you didn't? Don't like it? Trade it in... it's a good game but not for everybody.

Just feels like some people dislike it because its not what they thought it would be, which is fair enough. Doesn't make it a bad game though.

If anyone wants to do some strike missions this morning/early afternoon then alert me

Pissed... won't get much time to play this weekend.
 
Wonder how many people are going to be lvl 26 in time for that raid on the 16th? Saw a 21 yesterday... I want in but it's not gonna happen.
 
That was some good gaming last night, that bloody level where the waves of enemies kept coming was intense, the struggle was real. the relief when we finally did it :D This game was pretty good anyway but really comes into it's own when you're playing with a group of other people

I like how third time round we all figured out our own tactics and eventually wore them down.
 
So after getting a new weapon that finally does damage, I am actually doing well in the crucible now.

I really like this game. Great fun!.

Just finished the last earth Mission, that damn spider tank takes ages to kill :lol:

haha yeah, my moment of clarity came when I (finally) realised that it might be a better idea to move about the room rather than just camp up at the top and get swarmed all the time :wenger:

That swarm was crazy. "Guardian down...Guardian down....ahh, well shit"

Dinklagebot was getting on my tits too, "let me take my time shooting lasers at this path which is blocked by lasers, will only take about 25 minutes, oh btw 12 waves of convenant incoming lol".
 
Stuck on a mission on Venus, the archive one. Get into the archive and then routinely get battered, definitely going to need some help on that one.
 
Tip for those big Bug type bosses: if you shoot off the rectangular rocket launcher gun mounted on it first it makes it a whole lot easier, takes a fair bit of damage to get it off but worth it.
 
I don't know, a few sites only had like 4 listed but I think they were wikis. I got the impression it was one from each area but I found it incredibly surprising so hopefully I'm wrong.
If you look at the app, there are 5... and there seems to be room for 11. The way it's laid out I'm inclined to believe there will be 11.
 
Can't get anywhere near Phogoth. Tried about 4 times with all 3 of us being level 12, not even touching the sides.
 
Metacritic average has this hovering around 81, user average 6.4.

Fair? Pretty dissapointing numbers.
 
Wouldn't mind the user scores on Metacritic.

8/10 seems about right. Good, fun game, well polished but nothing amazing.
 
Yeah 8 seems about right.

Its a victim of its own hype, but if you try and see beyond that its a pretty fun game with loads of potential.
 
It's a solid 9 game for me. The levels of hype for this game were way too high and I think that's why it is getting low scores. Anyone that played the beta realised that it wasn't revolutionary in any way but it was still really fun. I know everyone has a different opinion or different tastes but some of the scores I have seen are pure bullshit.

Agreed, but these are the times we live in...
 
If anybody wouldn't mind helping with the Phogoth creature or the Archive mission, I'll be on tomorrow morning until early afternoon.
 
The low scores on Metacritic are mostly from PC gamers who are annoyed it's console only.

To be fair, I'm a little annoyed it's console only too. FPS games are just better on PC and seeing as this is online it's not like they would have major issues with piracy.
 
I shall be on when I have finished at the Gym around 2030.

I want to have a crack at that moon strike again as I got my head stoved in big time last time I tried it.
 
I'll be up for some venus missions in about an hour if anyone wants to? Also a tip for people who are struggling to level up, make sure you always take on bounties as they give you so much experience points... i literally got from level 15 - 19 yesterday in about 3 hours from them yesterday
 
Can anyone shine a light on to something that's been bugging me for a while now...at what level do hunters get a cape? I want a fecking cape!! level 10 and still no cape, what gives Bungie?

Cape

Cape
I got a cape, and it does sweet fcuk all apart from swing around in the air. No bonus armor or stats increase?!?!

Both those videos were done by the same guy/ guys.

Matt Lees works for videogamer.

Anyway its not a review just general chat.

Also it clearly wasn't what Bungie said it would be either read this quote

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/bu...ide-star-wars-lord-of-the-rings/1100-6413676/

main part ""We like to tell big stories and we want people to put the Destiny universe on the same shelf they put Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, or Star Wars; we've already seen they do that with Halo," Parsons said. "

When a company says something like this, are you suprised when people are confused?

Is this worth getting if you have 0 mates who have it? Sounds like it's largely centered around clans and all that. Also looks like the type of game that I'd be shockingly bad at.
