This is another game I have been following closely since Bungie announced it. I got to play during the First Look Alpha for PS4 and was impressed. Does anyone have plans to play it? What system? Anyone participating in the beta in the next few weeks? I am suppose to get a few extra beta codes for Xbox One if anyone wants them(one code is already spoken for). Would anyone happen to have an extra code for PS4 I could have?

PC version is supposed to be coming in March 2015.
 
Is it confirmed for PC? I'm interested for sure. But Kreamy Kum told me there was no confirmed PC release.

Fucking console gamers, the worst blight on the human rac—OH HI ZEPH

:3
 
You're lucky you got to try it out lol. I heard the alpha testers were saying good things about it. I was pretty excited for this a while ago but I'm scared to get hyped over it. I don't want another Titanfall or Warframe situation where you love it the first couple days because it's shiny and looks cool then get bored. :[
 
No actual confirmation, but this was found:

"According to the details on the Steam Database, the PC port of Destiny will be coming out on March 2015."

In the little bit that I played(could only go to level 8) it was pretty fantastic, it had quests through the area, world events, and instanced "dungeons" called Strikes with bosses that were pretty difficult and loot. Once I started it up, I could not put it down.

When I played it, it reminded me of Warframe. This just seems to be more open world oriented and story driven.
 
I'm currently running around in the beta right now and it is AMAZING. Zeph is right in that it's like warframe but more story oriented and much larger maps. I like the leveling system and it seems like they're gonna be setting it up so that we can explore the rest of the solar system which means lots and lots of content (the beta only opened up Earth and a few a hours today they had a mission on the moon). I like the drop in/out world events where you can choose to join in or just run past and continue doing whatever you were doing. They even have pvp set up for people who like beating on other people. The classes are interesting and so far I'm not really feeling any major balance issues, at least not on the PVE side., they're all different levels of squishy but you can definitely solo with whichever class you choose.

I was worried at first that it would make me nauseous since most console fps games have done that but with Destiny I've been able to play 5hrs straight without feeling like I need to lie down. So double thumbs up from me, I can't wait for September.

I'm on the PS3 so if anyone plays add me on PSN: RenegadePsyche
 
The beta clinched it for me. I'm going to be sinking some crazy hours into Destiny. It's Call of Duty meets Mass Effect meets Diablo. There's enough PvE and PvP to keep both camps happy.

Once it goes live, my PSN name is the same as my forum name.
 
I might slum with you console gamers and check it out if it isn't coming to the PC. My PSN is Zakenis

I'm a PC gamer at heart, especially when it comes to first person shooters. KBAM just beats controllers for precision. HOWEVER, my time dicking around in Call of Duty games has brought me around a bit. I'm just more comfortable lounging on my couch in front of the big screen and holding a controller for a game like this. When I got Thief (2014), I got it on PC. But shit... I'm digging using the controller for Destiny.

Another thing I forgot to mention is that they basically have jumping puzzles in Destiny. Sure, they're not to the extent of those in Guild Wars 2, but I found plenty of times where I'd be out exploring and I'd see a chest, then have to figure out how to get to it. I dig it.

Their social features need a little work. You should be able to join up with others in a Fireteam without leaving the zone. But once the community is over there, that'll be a moot point. As it stands, if you and I are out in the wilderness and want to join up together, it kicks us out of the zone and back to orbit. Then we can talk to each other (if we have mics) and can zoom back down to the beginning of the zone. There's ZERO voice chat if you're not in the same Fireteam. This means when you get placed with others in a 6v6 map, you can't talk to any of them (unless they're in your Fireteam, and if you invite them you'll all be kicked out of the match). This needs to be fixed, even if it's a toggle option that allows you to open the door to the 14-year-olds who want to tell you how much of a slut your mom is.

They also need more emotes than the 4 provided. Seriously... there's only so much you can convey with point, wave, sit, and dance. And sit is almost completely useless. There's no RPing going on here, and using the emote makes you pop a squat on the ground (even if there's a chair nearby). Take that damned thing out and give us "beckon" or something useful. Again, moot point once you've got friends in the game. You'll be outright telling them what you want through headsets.
 
With the beta over, all I have to say is WOW. I am sooo hooked. The story was good so far and the events and PvP were fun. One of the most beautiful games I have seen in a long time. I sat on the Moon for a good 15 minutes just looking at Earth in the distance, almost like I was there(that could have been the bud though). Then a satellite caught my eye and I watched that for a while too. Just amazing.

Also, having Peter Dinklage as the voice for your AI companion was pretty fucking awesome too.
 
I wouldn't hurt to get a Vindictive clan going on Bungie's official site. They'll have 6-man raids which are supposed to be pretty intense.

Excellent Idea.

I got a clan started. Please head to http://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Detail/163314 to check it out and become a member, we need at least 4 to "officially" become a clan. I have it open for Xbox and PS4 as I will be playing both(you guys sound like PSN guys, most of my buddies are Xbox guys(My personal preference is PSN)).

Let me know what you think and if you see anything that needs to be changed.

Tryden,

Going to try to recruit some if you don't mind. Is it ok to use a slightly modified version of your recruitment post on reddit or the GW2 forum?

Got you added.

We need a few more, and we should be set.
 
I joined, thanks for making it Zeph. Do you know how that playstation clan/ xbox clan thing works? I'm guessing you have to put people in there manually?

I had to click on "Make Playstation Clan" and "Make Xbox Clan"(or something along those lines) under the clan moto to put myself in that console's roster. I have not found a way to do it manually.
 
Sent you three a friend request on PSN. What are you all on PS3 or PS4? It sounds like they will not be compatible with each other. Your character will follow you from PS3 to PS4 but a person playing PS4 cannot play with a person playing PS3. Also, here is a little bit on what is known about the one announced raid, "The Vault of Glass":


Also, still need one more person to become a full fledged clan.
 
Ill join in once it hits the PC, then lounge back with a controller playing it on my big screen :cool:

Some friends of mine have been raving about it, but describing it as a more expansive warframe pretty much sells me om it
 
I'm most likely going to be on PS3 since most of my friends are going to be playing on that. I heard they'll make it so we can freely switch back and forth between PS3 and PS4 so it might not be too bad. I'm still hoping they'll announce in September that PS3 and PS4 will have cross platform play since I know lots of people have been asking for that. Fingers crossed :D
