10 months. Put in manual space flight!

All right Bungie ten months to go. Put in manual space flight. Every promo art I see shows off the Guardians and on there somewhere are those space ships looking awesome. Defining and interesting looking. You see it's like TitanFall. You're a awesome pilot and then you're a awesome mech. The game runs on two types of play styles and to be honest gamers do that all the time from Battlefield to Halo, you get many who can switch in and out of different settings and vehicles very easily. Some make it career. Flying our ship throughout our solar system would define this game as something different from Halo Reach with capes. Seriously stop putting space ships on the art if they are to remain a bus route to load screens or tiny little flecks of black that goes boom in the sky box and hey guys here I am and that's it. Because its not something a seven year old goes oh wow that's soooo what I want my ship to do. I am so damn bored of FPSs the only saving grace are vehicles and exploration. I have eight titles of kids shooting me and Ai shooting me. But zero in space flight and exploration. I know a bunch of why people are going to show up and poop all over this, so screw those guys they killed their kids long ago.

  • [quote]so screw those guys they killed their kids long ago.[/quote]LOL funny as hell Dezarath, I love you dude but I just don't know if they're going to be able to do it in time. Maybe next game... I'm right here with you, flight would truly be awesome but we have to let Bungie decide what it is they can afford to spend time on. There's nothing wrong with asking them to include it, just please don't be too disappointed if they can't add it. It would really suck it the space exploration (or some other, slightly more vital element) was a partially developed version of what it could have been with proper attention. [quote]I know a bunch of why people are going to show up and poop all over this[/quote]I commend you for speaking your mind. Brace yourself.

    • Yes. That will make the 10 month wait worth it.

    • Was thinking the same thing, if they came out and said Hey we are delaying to add in the community requested space Filight/combat I would Jump hurdles all day.

    • [quote]You see it's like TitanFall. You're a awesome pilot and then you're a awesome mech. The game runs on two types of play styles[/quote]Thats hardly two different play styles. Shooting in a 'mech is the exact same game play as shooting in a person, but with different guns and abilities. You're just bigger. It's like calling regular Mario, and Mario after eating a red mushroom two different play styles. [quote]Flying our ship throughout our solar system would define this game as something different from Halo Reach with capes. [/quote]Flying our ships through the solar system would probably happen at some hypothetical faster than light speed, where you wouldn't be in combat or steering anyway. The only times you'd actually do any flying would be in orbit, and in-atmosphere. If they allowed in-atmosphere flight, it would negatively impact exploration in Destiny. Say there is some weapon hidden on the top of some mountain, and you have to trek up some overgrown trail to reach the summit. That could all be skipped if you can just fly up to the top. So the only place left to allow flight is in orbit around planets or other objects. But think about how sterile an environment that is. Sure the background will change, depending on where you are, but space is otherwise empty. There are no paths to follow, doors to unlock, treasures to find. The only activity of any real entertainment value would be dog fights. Now sure, a dog fight would be fun once or twice, but I don't think it's something people would end up going back to much. Not when there's a planet below you with loot to find.
