DriftKaiser Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Look like I'll get the game tomorrow since the tracker said it arrived at a RDC in Bristol this morning. 😭
Shorty Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Against everything I believe in, I ordered from GAME, so I'm hoping for delivery tomorrow but no idea if it'll happen.... 1
drahkon Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) Currently working my way through "My name is Byf's" Lore videos. They are awesome. Will watch "The Book of Sorrows Part 3 - Ascension" now. Hope it's the last video about The Book of Sorrows. Edit: Well, it's not Hope Part 4 will arrive soon. Now it's time for some extra lore: The Vault of Glass, Crota's End, Stroies of Cayde-6, The Dragons, etc... Edited September 5, 2017 by drahkon
MilaGi Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 I'm hoping mine is arriving today so I can get it installed/patched! Quite looking forward to it 1
Map Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 My copy has arrived, I've downloaded the patch and the servers are up if you have a physical copy. Gonna take a peek.
Choze Posted September 5, 2017 Author Posted September 5, 2017 No despatch from GAME yet. Do I have to worry?
DriftKaiser Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 From reddit, GAME dispatch the games before 5pm today. Spoiler Bad new! The character creations are exactly the same as it was in D1. No new stuffs like beard.
drahkon Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Say what you want about the Destiny franchise but its music is one of the best in gaming. 1
Choze Posted September 5, 2017 Author Posted September 5, 2017 No despatch from GAME yet... Stay classy game retailers.
drahkon Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Apparently there's another loading screen of some kind when starting the digital version for the first time... "Transfering Data" which amounts to downloading 29GB according to a reddit post. That's me not playing tonight, then.
Choze Posted September 5, 2017 Author Posted September 5, 2017 Interesting. Will put disk in first thing. Wishing I had gone digital this time.
drahkon Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Just reached the social space. My goodness, that was one of the fucking best opening sequences I've ever played. The gameplay was Destiny as we all know: Gunplay at its best. But what stood out to me was the audiovisual experience. The setting, the sound effects, the music...it was spectacular. Spoiler After battling alone I reached the Tower and there were two other Guardians. I immediately sprinted to them and we held back enemy forces. It was glorious. Such a wonderful experience. I didn't expect to be blown away this much, to be honest. The first 40 minutes were absolutely incredible. 1
DriftKaiser Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Hope everyone have a blast time playing the game from now onwards! Feel free to ask for help with stuffs. 1
Choze Posted September 5, 2017 Author Posted September 5, 2017 Nice nice. At least I am downloading the Knack 2 demo. Should keep me occupied till my copy arrives. 1
drahkon Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 Managed to reach level 6. It's so much fun. Spent 2 hours in the patrol area and I haven't even scratched the surface of what it has to offer. Can't wait to spent all of Wednesday to play this game 2
Eddage Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 Just doing some housework this morning then I'm gonna start playing, wish the washing would hurry up and finish! New avatar and sig to celebrate 4

drahkon Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 Just woke up (yeah, nothing to do today ). Going to have lunch in a couple of minutes and then dive back into the world of Destiny 2.
Hero-of-Time Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 Brilliant. I wasn't going to bother but I ended up buying the game on my lunch break. It was actually Polygon's pre-review that sold me on buying it. Quote "It's Destiny, without all the bullshit." Sold. 3
Happenstance Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 *Sigh* Still waiting for the bloody postman...
drahkon Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 (edited) @Hero-of-Time From what I've played so far I can say that Plygon's quote is spot on. It definitely is Destiny but it still feels different somehow. It feels good. Can't really explain why, though I think I've done 6 story missions so far. Now it's time to explore the EDZ some more. Spent 2 hours exploring the first area of it. And looking at the map it amounts to maybe 10% of the whole patrol zone... Going to start a side mission now and after that I'll make my way to the next area. Edited September 6, 2017 by drahkon
Jimbob Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 Didn't get my dispatch email from GAME until 1am this morning, but from chatting to someone else earlier today they had the same and the game arrived this morning for them. So hope is not lost, but that's cutting it fine. 1
DriftKaiser Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 Just finished the Homecoming story. Waiting for you guys so we can proceed further into the game. 👍 Spoiler
