Sheikah Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Whuut, it sounding like him is the worst thing. I can't believe it was worse before. Rather than selecting someone on the basis of being currently popular because of Game of Thrones, they should've got someone who's established for dramatic/engaging voiceover work. I feel like I'm listening to someone who a) considers himself way above games, and b) thinks I'm a massive nerd, and is humouring me with lines he finds ridiculous. They added some beeps, still shit. Should've cut a lot of the lines out. Yeah, very silly choice. Nothing worse than when entertainment clamours for somebody just because they've been popular in something else recently, no matter how poor the fit may be.

Should've cut a lot of the lines out. See I heard they casted him for this role not to be dramatic or engaging but to be this weird out of body voice. Granted though the quotes I've heard don't lend any gravitas to the level of exposition that appears to be happening. EDIT: I've been listening back it's almost like a poorly read audio book.
Daft Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Yeah, he's basically a robot. What are you guys expecting exactly? He doesn't even have vocal chords. And when it comes down to it, PD is a good enough actor to blame direction more than anything.
Jimbob Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 @Jimbob is a hero and gave me a Beta code. Now stuck in the office for another 3 hours staring at the clock watching the minutes pass. My weekend is going to be officially a write off now! Thanks again dude!!! No problem. I'm stuck in the office all day tomorrow, so will feel the pain then.
MATtheHAT Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 I never played the alpha but fuck me what a cracking game I'm up to level 5 already. Had a few missions with @MATtheHAT = good times! Dancing Simulator 2014. Will get the mic found for future Destiny meet-ups. Which I imagine will be frequent and entertaining.
drahkon Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) You're supposed to see other players in the town, aren't you? Whenever I go there...nobody Edit: Sorry @Map @Daft and...damn can't remember Wireless connection fucked up...can't reconnect currently Edited July 18, 2014 by drahkon
Daft Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 PSN is struggling under the weight. Looks like they prioritise essential function like online play and stuff like messaging suffers.
The Bard Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 I'll be playing this in a bit, it's taking forever to download. Are any of you going to be on in about half an hour?
Shorty Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Yeah, he's basically a robot. What are you guys expecting exactly? He doesn't even have vocal chords. I honestly can't tell if you're joking... Anyway even if you're not, the problem isn't a robotic sounding voice, but a bored sounding voice which does occasionally try to feign drama/enthusiasm, but fails.
Zell Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Do any of you beautiful people happen to have a spare PS3 beta code? (It is available on PS3 right?)
Cube Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Also, has been cut, and is supposedly the worst line that was in the Alpha. I think people expected a lot more after . @Zell, I'll PM one over.
The Bard Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Am I missing something or is there actually no proximity voice chat in the game? Been yelling at @Daft for like half an hour.
Cube Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) This may sound dumb, but how do you return to the tower/hub area? Edit: So if you leave the hub/game after the tutorial, you have to complete two missions before you can return. Odd. Edited July 18, 2014 by Cube
Zell Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Also, has been cut, and is supposedly the worst line that was in the Alpha. I think people expected a lot more after . @Zell, I'll PM one over. You are a saint! Code worked like a charm. Thank you.
Daft Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Am I missing something or is there actually no proximity voice chat in the game? Been yelling at @Daft for like half an hour. Was wondering why you weren't saying anything. Should have just invited me to party chat. Not sure why it wasn't working though, I was chatting with Map just fine.
Shorty Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Had an awesome game on this today. Wish I'd realised earlier that if you take the Strike mission you're quickly paired up with some co-op partners - I was craving some co-op play and the mission didn't disappoint. Although I've never used my PS4 mic so I had no idea where it was, so I couldn't communicate to my teammates the Devil Walker's weakness :p Wish there was more to do in the beta! Really looking forward to the full game. I think I might cancel my pre-order and upgrade to a better version.
Map Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Had some awesome games today as well with @Daft and a few others. Did the strike, then some public events, which are becoming my favourite thing, complete mayhem! Then tried to take on some level 20 enemies and failed miserably, good times!
Daft Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) Went a little something like this... Also, check out my badass new ship. Edited July 19, 2014 by Daft
Map Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Went a little something like this... Dat Ogre was not pleased to see us, when you shoot something and it says immune you know it's not gonna end well! Also, check out my badass new ship. I need to get me one of those! Time to spend some loot! Sorry @Map @Daft and...damn can't remember Wireless connection fucked up...can't reconnect currently Are you about today? Maybe put a team together later.
somme Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 I finally got this to download (kept disconnecting me after a couple of percent). It's great fun so far and don't see a problem with Dinklage's voiceover. I've heard far worse.
Jimbob Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Had a few rounds with a mate last night, was bloomin epic. No problem with voice communications or anything, which was again a great bonus. We did some campaign missions, some random missions in the free-roam (took on a giant tank thing along with 5 other randoms). Managed to reach level 6 in a few hours of play. I'm very much happy with all the improvements they've made since the Alpha release. We were going to do some bounties and strikes, but alas had to go to bed as had to be up 6am for work (shame). I'll be on later for an hour or so, and again for a few hours tomorrow if anyone is interested in a few rounds.
Esequiel Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Looks like i need a headset for september, this is like a shiny new version of phantasy star.
Daft Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 I'll be around later tonight. Is anyone up for a Playstation Destiny KNEE game night?
Shorty Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 I'mma add everyone in the N Space Europe group next time I go online, I'm fonster_mox
Sheikah Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Ah man, this game is great. By the way @drahkon, I was getting that problem with my internet setup first time I went to the tower and the game told me my NAT wasn't setup well. I went into my router configuration panel, assigned a static IP then went into my PS4 and assigned it the one IP. You also need to forward a few ports. Strikes are amazing.
