Babooo Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Love how you guys go apeshit over your copy's delivery. I'm currently calmly preparing lunch and when it's done I will calmly eat THE FUCKING RICE. I want to play the game. Please delivery guy... Haha I'm only mega excited because I'm getting a PS4 with it too! Woo!And I have today and tomorrow off work to get stuck in T minus 20 mins until Jonathan, my saviour, my beacon of hope (aka my DPD driver) gets to my house.

I guess COD and other games (which hold more players in one map) should also delay reviews for the same reason. The main problem the beta showcased was that there isn't much content and not a whole lot to do with content there is. Especially when you add up the cost of the game along with its expansions (over £80 for many). There isn't much to do. You don't go about it in any refreshing manner but grind away. Not too mention it feels like a last gen game tech wise. Tiny areas with tiny amount s of players on screen. There are plenty of flaws within Destiny for sure. I think its a good game but not a 'great' one. Overhype definitely playing a part. Enjoy the game guys i'll be following. Does seem bizarre, any reliable impressions come through yet? Metacritic user score is 4.9, some of the user reviews seem fairly reasonable and articulate in praise/criticism, while others are nonsense as expected!
drahkon Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Does seem bizarre, any reliable impressions come through yet? At the end of his live stream yesterday a guy from GiantBomb said he isn't impressed with the game as the missions are basically: "deploy ghost, defend/wait". When he stopped streaming he was close to finishing the first planet (i.e. Earth). It's the most reliable impression I've heard/read so far.

I cancelled my pre-order based off the beta and for me a worry about the actual depth of content. Am looking forward to the reviews.
Ganepark32 Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Picked up my copy this morning, it's now sitting on the spare chair in the office just screaming to be played. Thankfully, I'll be heading home shortly. Seems to be selling really well up where I am already. The GAME had a midnight launch and cleared a few boxes and then when I went in just after half 10 this morning there was a massive queue from the tills to the door all for people picking up the game. When I eventually got served, the queue was already out the door! So, new IPs do indeed sell With the exception of 2 people, everyone I saw buying when in GAME were getting the PS4 version so I'll actually be interested to see the split between the Xbone and PS4 sales. Now just to finish up little bits of work and pick up a few things in town then all the Destiny shall be mine. Think I'm gonna go with a Warlock character as my first foray into the game
drahkon Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 My copy still hasn't arrived. Come. The. Fuck. On. I hate this parcel service. Seeing @lostmario in my friends list playing the game doesn't help...
Jimbob Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 I'm finding it very humourous reading the comments on GAME's twitter and facebook pages from people whom have yet to receive the game. Blaming GAME for failure of delivery on release day, it's quite funny. Loads of "I'm never buying from you guys again, you've failed to deliver on time". And "It's been dispatched on Friday, why is it taking so long to arrive. Grr, you guys are useless and i'm demanding a refund. But customer services are useless, can't get through. Grrrr" If they used a braincell of any sort, they would be wise to direct the blame first to Royal Mail or whatever the mailing service is to address the delivery situation. To be wise to hold on until tomorrow, just in case it arrives later in the day. Then move complaints to GAME if the delivery company didn't get the package or something.
S.C.G Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 *cough* It actually arrived at 10am for me but I had to go out, it's updating now! : peace:

Hero-of-Time Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Just checked my tracking and apparently it's been delivered.
CoolFunkMan Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 My Limited Edition arrived, and it's bloody beautiful! Can't wait to finish work and play it. Only another 2 and a half hours till home time...
Sheikah Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Did they have any Limited Editions? If mine doesn't show up today, I'm tempted to go get a second copy and return it using the online order when it shows up :p At my office I can see all the delivery drivers arrive, so I'm going to be getting up and checking reception repeatedly I'm also in the office an hour early so I can leave an hour early Edit: @Sheikah you should know if it doesn't show up today I'm holding you personally responsible for my crushing disappointment. Mine has come. LE is big...
Shorty Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) Mine has come. LE is big... Do you know who delivered it? Mine still says "Ready for dispatch" on the site, and a few delivery companies have been and gone already Edited September 9, 2014 by Shorty
lostmario Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Seeing @lostmario in my friends list playing the game doesn't help... Sorry! Put a couple of hours into it so far. Really impressed by it, everything feels spot on. Just stopped to get some lunch then I'll be back on it.
Sheikah Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Did you ever get a dispatch notification? Mine still says "Ready for dispatch" on the site, and a few delivery companies have been and gone already Nope, and it still says it's to be despatched on the website. It was delivered by Yodel, one of the crappiest delivery companies known to man. Interestingly as well it says it was sent out on the 7th. So much for it being yesterday. It did come pretty late, too. About the time when I last posted.

somme Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 DPD still has the same message for me atm. So yeah, I'm still waiting!
Cookyman Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Amazon status - delivered. Guess I'll be playing with you lot tonight after work then. : peace:
Babooo Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 I know I sound like a needy female dog, but add me on PSN! Complete noob to Destiny (and PSN) and will appreciate the company PSN ID is Babu_1489 See you online. : peace:

I do wonder, if I'm this bad with Destiny, how I will stop myself imploding when I'm waiting for No Man's Sky. It will not be a good day. Or week. Or month... lol
Dog-amoto Posted September 9, 2014 Author Posted September 9, 2014 Mine came. And with free headset too. Really good deal. Busy with work and still got Metroid Prime 2 to finish so I'll probably leave this till weekend when I've got 5 days off.
