Destiny Beta


Godot

Recommended Posts

I find myself virtually unable to decide between getting it for PS4 or Xbox 360 :(

I figure it will run just fine on either, and I have friends on PSN that are getting it and friends on XBL that are getting it...I just don't know which one I should be a part of, and there's no way I can do both. I want that beta now...but still can't decide...

My Thoughts on the Beta now that I have played Most of it...

Story

The story is rather Generic actually, It is about some generic dark force who is out to destroy humanity. And the Death Star from Star Wars is here to protect us, but it currently isn't. And a bunch of supernatural spacy things are happening. Zombies, Wizards, Alien Invasions, you name it!

Gameplay

I rather like the controls of the game. They every button and action feels natural. Gun Physics seem good, and there is a ton of environments to explore! There are currently 3 Job Classes that players can play as. Though there are 3 different Classes, only 3 Subclasses were playable in the demo. The Tank Class, the Titan had a subclass based around being up close and melee-ing things. Titans also have incredibly high health and defenses, but in return, they are slow, and their range and Control are discouraged. The Speed Class was the Hunter, Hunter's subclass revolved gunplay. The Hunter seemed more skill focused rather than "roll face on keyboard" that some of the other characters kinda feel like. With the exception of their grenade ability, most of the Hunter's abilities where very aim and shoot-y. They also had the highest mobility and most reliable Melee range out of any class. One of the funnest things to use regarding Hunter was their grenade options. One grenade seeked and damaged targets, the other created a small wall of mines. (the former was great in PvP) The last Class (and my personal Favorite) is the Warlock. Warlock is a mage-y class who focus a lot on control. They had really bad defense and HP, making them stay true to their almost glass canon nature. The Subclass we got to play was based around Darkness and Space Magic called Void. We were able to see the next three subclasses, but they were teasingly locked away. The level cap of the beta was 8, but the subclasses were locked until level 15. Titan had a Shield/Bodyguard themed subclass, Hunter had a Swordplay/Assassin subclass, and finally the warlock had a Fire/Sun Light Elemental subclass.

It's a real shame they don't port it for PC. I'd be all over that.

Got an xbox one at a relative's place but I'll obviously never get the chance.

EDIT: It's available for PS3. Oooooo. Now I'm interested.

I thought the mine one and the homing grenade was the same thing, Godot. You toss it out and it scatters like a wall, then the pieces chase whoever gets close to it. The other, initial hunter grenade one was the flame one.

The xbox version, both 360 and one, kept reporting tons of issues. Including random disconnects and crashing, match making issues, and overall stability.

Also, Mael and I made a clan for us, I'll post more about it when I get home.

I really wish I had a PS4 so I can kick some ass with you guys.

You really should. Reliable teammates are hard to find in matchmaking. Especially them rage quitters leaving me high and dry.

And yeah, the iron banner gear looks amazing, doesn't it? Just look at the guy selling the stuff.
