The Destiny Beta
It starts on July 17th on Playstations, and July 24th on Xboxes. Sadly, I'm always going to be in the "haha-you-get-your-content-later" Xbox club, but that's fine. We're getting close, ladies and gentlemen! I cannot wait to finally own a shiny new Bungie game again! Let's use this thread to discuss the beta when it's out, and to link up for co-op funtimes if needed.
Also, if I hear one more person bitch about Peter Dinklage's voice work I'm banning them. ;)

2 RepliesWasn't excited for Destiny in the slightest. The art style (the way the characters look), and seeing people like Joe and Marty leaving, really put me off. Then I watched Ash55 playing the Alpha for 8 hours straight, and I got completely sucked into it. I now 'get' the game. It's not as simple as campaign, co-op, dungeon and multiplayer, there's much more to it. There's still a lot that I personally don't like (calling a gun in the game 'Super Good Advice' is cringe-worthy to extreme), but I'm going to be pumping in a lot to this game, because the co-operative elements are going to be insanely fun. The AI isn't as good as Halo, the guns have terrible names, Peter Dinklage sounded bored out of his skin (Bungie said that it was just test recordings), but the gameplay saves it. This is a game where co-op is essential to it being fun in my opinion. If you have the people for it (I do!), then you're going to be playing it quite a lot. If you don't, I strongly suggest you find reliable people - two others for a fireteam of 3. Playing the beta on 360, but I'm getting the white PS4 Destiny bundle in September. :)
