Gaming Destiny | Rise of Iron launch

I'm still level 12 and struggling to get into it now, the only thing interesting me is the thought of getting more trophies, that's pretty sad considering the build up to this game.
 
Has anyone got a one month trial for PSN that they got with the game, that they don't need? Long shot but I would appreciate it. :)
I got one, but I can't send it to you right now. I'll PM you the code later today if I get chance.
 
How are your characters looking? Here's mine (not really played since hit 20, will do tonight so armour and stuff is still basic):

How did you get such a good quality screenshot @Damien? I had to upload it to a twitter account :|
 

He looks a beast.

It's a shame the game doesn't really allow for more customization, atleast with colours. I just put whatever armour on is best and forget how my guy looks.
 
Level 10 at the moment, playing right now because I have no money to go out. I'm not too sure, but I think there might be a connection between that and buying the PS4 a couple of days ago...

Anyway - clonebassist87 for anyone who fancies having a bit of fun doing some Strike or something. I'm not too fussed what mode we do.
 
Being cross platform doesn't mean it's not the first big next gen blockbuster.

It's definitely been the most eagerly anticipated game since this generation started.

I think your getting confused with an exclusive title that will make people buy a specific console. That will happen mainly next year with Bloodborne, Uncharted 4 and Halo on the horizon.

No I'm not confused, its available on PS3 and 360 therefore its not a next gen blockbuster, its a cross gen blockbuster.

The Witcher 3 and Metal Gear Solid V will be the first next gen blockbusters.
 
level 15, on second mission of venus if anybody wants to team up?
 
This fecking nova bomb shit people do online feels like cheating.
 
The missions are monotonous on your own, same old stuff. Really enjoying it though!

Crucible games making it for me currently because I can play it alone but there are some seriously over powered players!

Is that the 'melee' attack that explodes and kills anyone within a pretty big radius? If so, yeah, it's ridiculously overpowered.

Yep. I have a knife and they can just jump in the air and slam down, killing everyone nearby.
 
Just got a legendary engram yay!

Just decoded it and it's fecking resources, cnuting stupid game.

:mad::mad::mad:
 
I don't get the reviews at all tbh. Sure, there were massive (perhaps unrealistic) expectations that don't help...but you can't tell me this is on Killzone ShadowFall's level (metacritic 73). It's miles better than that, and the other shooters that have come out for next gen consoles thus far.

Warlocks have crepe paper shields and virtually no armour and are really slow though.

Titans and Hunters have the upper hand on Warlocks in most departments.

Me, you and Solius had a good game last night
 
ffs I've got to level 13 before I've realised the reason I can't join groups is because I need PS plus! This is marginally less retarded than it sounds as I've only just got a PS4 and did next to no research before hand.

I'm reluctant to pay just for the sake of destiny. Sorry to derail the thread briefly, but can anyone tell me if it's worth paying now because I'll need PS plus for FIFA and COD anyway (the only 2 other games I'm particularly interested in online in the near future).
 
You should get a free month with your copy of Destiny , I think there's a slip inside the case

Yeah true, the multiplayer is fun. I'll give it a day or 2 and I might get the urge to play again, I'm probably just a bit burned out from gaming.

I don't really use PS+ but if I ever want anything like this destiny thing then I just buy 3 months at £11.99 less costly than a year especially if you won't use it

Thank you! Hadn't looked at the case since I glanced at it while taking the cd out. There's a code for some Vanguard Armoury in there too.

Is it needed to play online with all the major games though? If so I'll probably just pay for 12 months as I'm sure I'll need it for FIFA and COD online alone.

Ah ok, I only though you needed + for a few destiny missions. Ill bare that in mind for future games
 
So I just found out that you have to do the upcoming raid with six people on your friends list. That rules me out then, I don't even know 6 people with the game. Why not have matchmaking for the raid like they do with fireteams? What a weird game, I think the reviews are spot on.
 
Still at 22, a few more light to 23.

At 20 theres quite a bit of grinding the same areas as the rest of the game, but with enemies a lot harder. And tbh thats not a problem for me, I've been doing those missions back to back for a few days

However the loot distribution and more importantly the progression is quite annoying. Its completely random but I found myself getting gloves or helmets that are "rare"/blue but downgrades on what I already have time and again. Because it seems to be a random level between 16 and 20 gear each time.

And a bunch of times you get those cryptogram things that you take to the npc, and it'll be a blue one you picked up suggesting you might get a blue item... And then like 90% of the time its a green item.

In fact for levelling up the crypagraph person I got something in the mail, a purple cryptogram. When he activated it for me, it turned into 3 blue cryptograms. When I activated each of the 3 blue cryptograms it gave me 3 green items.

Fantastic
 
Servers were a nightmare for me tonight. I must have tried to play 6 different strikes and only managed to complete one as I kept getting kicked from them all - annoyingly usually just before facing the final boss.

Levo and I did a strike ourselves and experienced the same issue, but at least with that we were both able to rejoin the fireteam. With the strike playlist when you're playing with randoms you can't really do that.
 
What's the best way to get the strange coins in your opinion? I've only got two and been playing for ages.

I'm not sure how I got to 14 to be honest. I think doing the weekly strike earns you 3. Strikes in general and crucible tend to reward you if my memory serves me correct

Thanks. Hopefully I'll have better luck with the server tomorrow. Won't be able to get 13 coins before Xur disappears, but I can see the sun breakers appearing again or even something better in future so waiting nearly a week won't be so bad...

Yeah I'm saving my coins for that nifty armpit. Although can only have one exotic item at a tine
 
I managed to set up my PS4 and do the little intro section last night. I'm obviously miles behind everyone else in terms of levels but i'd appreciate you adding me nonetheless. My PSN is TheSkeldinator.
