Played Destiny for about 2 weeks straight. Every night getting home and getting on the game. Even after I hit my level cap, still had fun hopping on playing a bit of Campaign then goin into the MP portion. Beta ended.. wasnt sure what to do.
Natas and I switched over to COD. Instantly had that feeling of disgust within 1 minute of playing the game. Especially on PS3.

Enter's lobby. Hears 3 mics speaking different languages and music over the headset. - Irritated already. Notice the names in the lobby. "JORGE989PR and PRDUDESOMETHING". Immediately get the feeling of "Uggh".
Game Starts.
Get stuck on a trash can going around a corner. Try to jump over it, doesnt work.
First contact 1v1 against someone. Try to jump backwards and shoot. Drop dead immediately. Spawn, get shot after taking 2 steps. Get into another 1v1.. drop dead after landing a few shots. Say "FCK THIS GAME". Turn it off. Go on Minecraft. Get bored after looking at blocks for 5 minutes and sign off.

Last few nights havent really been in the gaming mood. Hopefully I get over the Destiny withdraw sometime soon lol.
* Can only hear member's of your Fireteam (which is the party system in the game). No lobby mics.. which is amazing!
* Radar is ALWAYS active - You cannot hide from it in Destiny.
* Healthbar's above the enemy. So as I shoot I can see how much more it will take to get the kill!
* People are moving - Its a good thing to do in Destiny. With the massive jumping and gliding abilities, you sit in a spot you are going to get torched quickly.
* Not so many PR names.
* Sniper's exist.. but they are easily taken out, and they take some skill to use (in the MP portion anyways. Hitting someone with one takes a bit of aim unless you catch em off guard).
* Weapon's need to be found. They can be bought, but you do not really get the top weapons from the vendor.. and the vendor's weapons cycle every 8 hours or something like that. They dont carry the same set of 5 weapons all the time.
* Must EARN your upgrades. No just purchasing and unlocking them.
All in all you really have to PLAY the game to earn any advantage in the MP portion of the game. Not much is handed over to you.

I hope COD tanks this year. Are they even making one? Didn't care enough to look into it

My preorder is in Syn, I'll be getting Destiny for ps3 (and ps4) on release day. Didn't play much of the MP, but from your videos, it looks quite fun. The co op missions alone are worth the money to me.
and that feeling you have about COD, it's exactly what happened to me, once you step away and have fun, it's really hard to go back
What I really loved about Destiny, is that there was so much to do besides MP. Sometimes, I really like working with people, instead of hating their existence.

I hope Destiny is the COD killer the gaming industry so desperately needs.

Stood in line at midnight for MW2. Thought about selling PS3 for Ghost.
The presence of the crowd had nothing to do with it

"you can kill a gaming franchise, but you can't kill an idea."
If you think COD stands alone in this, you are sadly mistaken. The idea of COD is already part of the industry.
Be the hero, get things splashing across your screen without needing skill and force DLC until it is not just a part of games but a necessity. Just look at the BF4. If that is not a large scale COD, I am not sure what is.
It is sad to see such things happen to gaming but I believe it is just a phase. Hope it dies down before my love for gaming does. The solution is another idea that is so good, it negates everything bad COD did.

Too late, that accolade already went to Brink.

COD Advanced Warfare seems a step in the Destiny / Titanfall direction. I think Activision caught wind of the games being released this year and decided they needed to up the ante.
Heard about Double Jumping and Gliding in the new COD. Going to be much more similar to Destiny / Titanfall in that regard I think.

Yeah Brink flopped. Was supposed to be the COD killer but instead it committed suicide.

Think you are giving TitanFall too much credit. It hass been a couple months and I have not heard crap about that game from any of the sites I regularly visit. It turned into another interim game while everyone waits for other releases.

Brink, pretty much, shit itself.....great concept, worst possible execution.

Yeah it borrowed a few things from other games and while that might have made certain games "meh" or cookie cutter, it was refreshing to see old things and new things from games past and present used. But ultimately you are correct the game caved in on itself.Chisa wrote:Brink, pretty much, shit itself.....great concept, worst possible execution.
Servers ran like crap, it always seemed to be updating and the weapons took several mags to kill someone. I am sure that if the game were alive today (not sure if there are even servers running anymore) it might actually be fun because they might have patched the irritating things about it.
Biggest problem was not just one thing it was a multitude of things that were small annoyances yet created a huge rift in playing and enjoyment.

I will have to take your word for it as I never played it. It just seems that it fell off the face of the earth.

The co-op story mode, with the RPG-lite aspects kinda reminded me of Phantasy Star Online (any one else have a dreamcast?)
Can't wait for sept 9th
