Hero-of-Time Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Awesome, thanks, request sent! I'm looking forward to getting home from work and popping it on. You and me both. You up for some competitive play tonight? I sent lostmario a message via PSN app and he's up for it. We need to get everyone signed up to the clan so we can get some Raid missions sorted out.

I will probably pop off at 8 to watch the Great British Bakeoff, although I could just catch it on the iplayer over the weekend.

I'll probably be a little later, say about 5:30 after I've had a bite to eat.
James Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Could any actually send the link for the clan, rather just mentioning it in passing

He mentioned it on the last page. Just realised you're James. I thought you were just one of Kavs buddies, didn't realise you were SC from here. Edited September 10, 2014 by Hero-of-Time
Daft Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Had a stormer on the Crucible this morning. Managed to record it. On the Mars map, I ran at - what I would quickly find out was the enemy's home capture point - saw the other team standing there. Lobbed a grenade as they blew me to pieces and I think I killed most of them.
Ganepark32 Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Had a good session on this last night. Only managed to get my Titan up to level 4, about half way towards level 5, and had @gmac drop into my game to help out with a story mission as one point. So glad he did as don't think I'd have managed to get through the mobs that kept spawning or take down the actual boss (even though my pulse rifle seemed to be ripping through its shields pretty quickly) so thanks for the help! Apologies I left so quick afterwards, had to drop off line to do some bits and pieces. Stuck at work now until 5 and then have things to do when I get home but aching to get back on and play more as was really enjoying it. Though was getting slightly annoyed that when doing the patrol thing in the Cosmodrome that all the mission beacons I was activating were sending me in to areas with enemies much higher level than I was at the time (I was level 3 and some of the enemies were 7-9 ). Also meant I got to put in a proper play test and get to grips with the PS4 controller. Thought it would take a bit longer to get used to but it took no time at all and feels comfortable even after a 2 hour session. So big thumbs up. Only thing I'd prefer was if the thumbsticks had less of a smooth rubber finish and a few nubs or something just to stop my thumbs slipping. Other than that small bit, and some of the load times which are a bit on the long side, even to get to the tower, really enjoying it so far. Can't wait to get back on later and hopefully nab a few more levels. Falling behind everyone else here, looks like I'll be lonewolfing
Map Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Yeah, it was easy Got kicked out of the game afterwards, though, and then my mate was ready to continue the story with me. Sorry I was gone so quickly. No problem brah, was the last mission I planned on doing, I did a small patrol on the moon after and then called it a night. Like others are saying we'll have to sort out some clan strikes, pvp, etc. Dem clan strike and raid trophies!
Blade Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 @kav82 @Hero\-of\-Time Would you mind waiting for me to do the missions? I don't get in while 20:00 and if you guys are gaming from around 17:00 im conscious that you are going to be miles ahead

I don't get in while 20:00 and if you guys are gaming from around 17:00 im conscious that you are going to be miles ahead Oh man, I finish at 4pm, I can't wait 4hrs to play... but what I could do if there are those still at a low level is start as another character (I'm thinking warlock) and do the early missions again.

somme Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 So that moon mission... That one with the sword was hella fun.
Daft Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Going to give the remote play of this another go tonight. It was great on the Beta, we'll see how it flies this time.
Babooo Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Finally managed to get an hour or so in last night, didn't really do a lot. But it's nice to see the city full of fellow gamers. All pending requests to join the N-Europe group have been accepted, choose your platform for the clan. So far, the prohibation for the Xbox clan isn't being met (currently sitting at zero) as most are PSN gamers at present (got 7 at the moment). If anyone else wishes to join, the link can be found in my sig below. Request sent

Yeah, I'll probably do this as well.
Blade Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Yeah, I'll probably do this as well. It would be really appreiated if you @kav82 would do this I would do the same

It’s also the highest-selling day one digital console release in history. We have more confidence than ever that Destiny will become one of the iconic franchises of this generation and Activision’s next billion dollar brand.

drahkon Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Reviewers and gamers appear to be disappointed with what they've played so far. Main reasons: Repetitive/boring missions, lifeless, poor world-building, PvP is nothing special, loot is uninteresting. I can understand the criticism about missions not being varied enough. However, I've played the missions up until halfway-through Venus alone and with a mate. My thoughts: I had fun playing alone, but holy crap, it was much more intense with a second player. We were coordinating, screaming, laughing. It was a blast. And from what I've read here: Many people had similar experiences. The internet is going crazy with all those rather negative first impressions. "Overhyped", "shit game", "marketing brainwashed everyone", "will be forgotten in 2 months", "only sells because of advertising", "7/10 reviews incoming".
Daft Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 I don't really get the negative reviews. It's a blast. I kind of think it's only going to be as fun as you make it. If you want to not enjoy it, you're going to not enjoy it. If you want to make it and adventure, that's what it'll be.
drahkon Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 If you want to make it and adventure, that's what it'll be. Exactly, and that's what's Bungie's been saying since they announced the game.
The Bard Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 To be honest I didn't really enjoy what I played of the beta so I can understand if people are a little underwhelmed. Specifically anyone who played Borderlands, what, five years ago now. I assume the powers and abilities give the action a flow and a cool toolset that Bungie have undoubtedly designed encounters very well around, but it seemed pretty pedestrian for my tastes. Didn't want to say anything before because of the overwhelming levels of excitement in this thread, and I was allowing for the possibility that the game proper was substantially better than the beta, but I'm glad I waited until more opinions rolled in.
Sheikah Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 I knew they would use the hype against it - "doesn't live up to hype", etc. It is a new IP that cost them £310m to make. Of course they had to advertise the balls off it to start getting money back. They should just review it based on how fun a game it is and nothing else. The game is seriously awesome though, it's top class multiplayer and tight gameplay, wrapped up with some really well designed areas.
Blade Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 It's a game that is 100 x better playing with your mates but not as good gaming alone.
