DESTINY game beta

[Blizzard884]

Hello Guardians.... 

Finally time for BETA is here. 

 

Playstation 3, 4 - 17/07/2014

Xbox 360, One - 23/07/2014

 

Do anyone joining  BETA? If yes on which platform? 

[bl3u]

Wish I could. But I don't have either of the consoles. I have a friend who's going to be playing the Beta on his Xbone. I'll probably go to his house sometime later and try it out.

[Pentinor]

I'll be on ps3 if I every feel like downloading the beta (I have piss poor internet so if its a huge dl I probably cant be assed).

Once it launches tho i'll be on ps4. Got that white ps4/destiny bundle preordered on amazon. Same day delivery when the game launches too.

[Pentinor]

I'm interested in the game, but not enough to pre-order just to play the beta. 

Preorder>get beta code>cancel preorder....also the code you get from preordering will give you 3 beta codes to redeem. 1 for you and 2 for friends.

Im bad with words and explaining things....uhhh....the code you get from preordering you redeem on the destiny website, and tomorrow bungie will give you 3 codes which will give you beta access.

 

We get three codes?

 

You get three codes. When your wave for the Beta begins, we’ll be equipping you with a Fireteam. Share those codes with your friends. Approach people on the street, and invite them to become legend. Spend some quality time catching up with your Mom in Old Russia.

Neither, will be playing it on PC!!

[Blizzard884]

Neither, will be playing it on PC!!

lol i don't think soo.... 

Destiny is not available for PC... ( i wish it would)

[Pentinor]

Will that let me get the money back I have to spend to pre-order it, or will I just be spending $5 bucks for a few beta keys?  I'm okay with that, I'm just wondering.

If you do it thru amazon you dont get charged until the item ships.

Edit: But you get the code to redeem on the bungie website almost immediately after preordering.

so max lvl. in beta is 8. 

i did reach that yesterday and i really enjoying the game, but what is point to put in beta items that can be used from lvl. 12 and more...

 

P.S. I am playing on Xbox 360 so if anyone wanna join me feel free...   

[SilverLi]

Could anyone care about explaining what they think about Destiny? Opinions and how the game feels and so on. 

I can't play the beta so I am trying to figure out what other thinks about the game without being professionals reviewers or so.

[Clephas]

Mmm... my first thought is that the pulse rifle sucks.  It looks like it is supposed to be a compromise between the single-shot scout rifle and the auto rifle... but it generally doesn't do as good of damage as either (when it has the same damage stat).  The fusion rifle is my favorite of the special weapons... because it is perfect for taking out groups of enemies in a straight line, despite the way it has to build up before it shoots.  They are going to need to do some fine-tuning on some of the weapons, before the main release.

 

My second thought is that they are making the same mistake every multiplayer experience does with story... not giving any details. 

 

My third thought is that grenades are worthless, pretty much.  I was surprised how pathetic the damage they do is, especially when you compare it to the super abilities and heavy weapons. 

 

The enemy AI resembles that of an MMO, except a bit simpler.  If you have a fire team on a large boss, it is quite possible to simply draw its fire by hitting it a few times, which is helpful when one of your other teammates is heading to resurrect another.

 

Damage adjustment for enemy levels is too extreme.  I can already see the balance of this game going down the toilet at early levels.  Too often, it takes me forever to take down a regular enemy of the same level with bullets or even melee attacks.  For a 'run and gun' game, this is a critical failure, even with the ability to purchase ever more powerful weapons.  This might or might not be solved as you get better weapons later on, but it does leave me a bit worried, nonetheless.

PS Plus subscriber here (freaking love it). Got the invite weeks ago. Haven't downloaded or played the game.

Just another boring shooter from the looks of it.

[Clephas]

It's basically a shooter/MMO where you can't exchange items, lol.

[Blizzard884]

Well i love the game a lot. is true that is missing some story but is only a beta so we need to wait and see. In my opinion is a little similar to Defiance.

I only play as Hunter and i don't even wanna try another class.(Will stick with hunter forever :] )

Sniper rifles in game are awesome, some optics allow me to shoot at super distance and killing enemies with critical hits all the time without being discovered (nice if you wanna make some good points and play as true "HUNTER").

For Indoor i really like special edition of basic hunter rifle and for close quarters shotgun, knife, hand cannon. 

Really hate that only place with shops, etc... is Tower. Hope in full game we will be able to walk and explore that last save city on earth. 

Specially like in beta one area, which is pitch black and without ghost light will be impossible to even navigate.

To Summarize It:  I love the game a lot and can't wait for full version. 

[Clephas]

I got stuck for about forty minutes on the Devil Walker.  You have to hit the plates over its legs until they blow off, then hit the next one.  That is the fastest way to take it down other than hitting it at a critical point (like the exhaust vent on top between the neck plates).  Ammo was a problem, but it was doable if you killed off the enemies that periodically spawned and collected whatever they dropped (it was usually primary ammo, but that's more than enough for whittling). 

[Narcosis]

Overhyped game with nothing else except graphics, which tries to be a hollywood movie. I've already seen enough gameplay previews to know where is this going; expect ten games in the franchise over the next 5 years. I guess all the marvelous concept art and designs went to waste.

[Clephas]

More likely, they'll just create dozens of add-ons, charging five dollars a piece, for about five years, whereupon they'll put out a slightly upgraded version of the same game up as Destiny 2. 

[Clephas]

I didn't like the PVP, but then, I rarely enjoy PVP in the first place.  I managed to get lots of rare gear by doing the exploration mission and finding the chests hidden in the caves...

That sounds disturbingly realistic...

[Pentinor]

The story could use some fleshing out, too, but it's not a terrible game.

The story felt very....awkward to say the least. I really really hope its because it was a beta and they are trying not to spoil anything from the storyline but between levels 1-8  your character says 11 words (sidenote: im pretty sure they said they increased the speed at which your character levels for the beta)....Not to mention your ghost finds you dead, in the middle of nowhere and says you have been dead a long time so presumably your body was just bones (unless your the robot race) and yet you dont ask a single question as to wtf is going on and why you arnt dead anymore?

I guess I was just expecting your character to be more like Master Chief or Commander Shepard....The stories seem to revolve around them, but in Destiny you feel kinda thrown into the middle of things and not all too important, atleast in the content we've seen.

On the gameplay side of things, I had a blast. The gunplay was fun, responsive and smooth. I thought it was gonna be pretty meh but it surprised me.

I tried out pvp and did decently well (28-8 or so in the 3 games I played, heavy machine gun OP) but Idk if I will do more, I just really hate using a controller. im playing more for the storyline and openworld/exploration aspect. If I want to pvp in an fps i'll just go play CS:GO or one of the many other FPS' I have on my steam account.

[bl3u]

Spent most my time during the beta just running around the capitol (Or whatever it's called) following random people and having dance parties in the courtyard.

 

Had a good time.

So....story in beta made it at least interesting. it definitely seems like its not gonna be a really strong story driven game, and is gonna focus on the multiplayer part of it all. The story isnt bad, so it will be enjoyable to play through it all, especially if you play through it with others just for fun, but the explore parts with missions and such that get harder when more players join the world was where i had a lot of PvE fun. Being lvl 6, with a bunch of others around me so that all the aliens were lvl 9 made all the fights that much more intense. PvE was fun, story missions were intersting if not the best for single player, and PvP was fun in Beta but easily became stale since ther was only 1 game mode, and even the 26th limited pvp was the same, only difference was rep bonus. if the other PvP modes actually add new modes and such then this could be an awesome game for both pvp and pve......we shall see
