  • The lag thing that's because too many are trying to sign at the same time

    • I personally loved it. Story missions feels solid, Im carefully optimistic. I tought Inverted Spire was pretty nice, is it the most mechanics heavy boss? No, but it does have enough to make it interesting, and I like that the AI seems more agressive overall. Failsafe was amazing, best character! - new lines in generall feels great. Pvp was enjoyable, scout keept smashing people to bits. Feels like the guns requires a bit more finess to handle this time around. Nice work with how shaders work and that you can shade ships!!! Things I would like to see: Interchangable energy/kinetic guns. I really wanted both the scout and one of the exotic handcannon. Longer slide plz! I love to slide, but now it feels awefully short! :(

    • Homecoming is what story missions should be. It's cinematic, the right length, and the pacing is good. Now the rest of the story needs to be on par or better. Inverted Spire was...well, just a strike. It tries to make it seem long because you have so much distance to cover on foot, (R.I.P. Titan skating) but it doesn't offer anything new to the table. Boss is just an Atheon bullet sponge who changes color. I liked control, it manages to not be incredibly slow despite being 4v4, I'm not big on pvp, but I had fun. Countdown was bleh. I hate elimination, and despise trials of osiris. So many situations where the defending team splits up while the attacking team can just 4v1 or 4v2 and attack one point. I'm biased, and not into pvp, but it's not my cup of tea.

      • No lag here. Only thing is it would be nice to be able to pick the story mission from the director to redo and maybe something else pve wise. Maybe be able to go into the strike alone to explore.

        Hi, I played Destiny for way too many hours over the last 3 years. I'm one of those thousand hours plus dudes. I signed into the Beta 5 seconds earlier then launch and was very happy it let me in just so you know I'm into this game. My official D2 beta review in general with no sarcasm at all.... 1.... I like the additions to the classes 2.... I like the way it looks 3.... I like the gun perks 4.... Guns still feel good to shoot 5.... Homecoming was pretty fun 6.... Skippable cut scenes = yes. I watch them the first time but skip them after that 7.... PVP 1.... I hate the extremely slow Super charge rate. It takes me 11-12 kills to charge it. One match i never did get one and i had 10 kills 2.... Melee is a joke, even charged 3.... Meta all about rate of fire and stability. It took multiple hits with a grenade launcher to kill one Guardian. This happened every time. 4.... It's all about group kills gone are the days of being a Super hero saving the day with a team wipe. I took a hit from a Nova bomb and killed the Warlock without a super charged without any "heavy" 5.... The new mode is basically a retooled Relic. Didn't like it before and still don't 6.... The two maps looked great and had nice layouts 7.... I like that the fights were a lot more primary v primary PVE 1..... Gravity sucks. We're too bouncy, all classes. 2..... The ammo drop rate was perfect! 3..... Melee is too weak, better than pvp though 4..... Need to play the patrol and free roam modes to know if I'll really enjoy PVE in D2. 5.... I liked the strike well enough. Overall verdict a solid 6.5 out of 10. Not enough to keep the pre-orders but enough that after a couple of Patches I'll check it out again and see if it's worth buying. Edit Notes: I realize that I'm not using all the new terms yet but you should all know what I mean.

        • [quote] remember that Bungie said there would be lag issues and other things wrong with the beta.[/quote] It's funny because the fanboys are obsessed with pointing out that the beta is a "stress test" but bungie admitted beforehand that the servers would be shitty during the beta.

        • It's Destiny 1 but polished, and very well balanced. I like how none of the weapons feel outrageously OP. With good aim and a tad bit of strategy, opponents drop like flys in the crucible. Bungie fixed it. But alas, this is just an early version of the game. The final render is still yet to be released. Having fun though while I'm here !

        • I sincerely liked it. Crucible is a lot of fun and I see a lot of diversity in weaponry which makes it fun. The strike is interesting and I like the new enemy types. I've noticed that I've started to use weapons types that I normally would hate like pulse rifles. However, two main problems for me: 1. "Super" slow cool down abilities (pun totally intended), 1 super per crucible match is kinda boring but I love the use of class abilities they're a lot of fun. 2. No point in having two primaries in PVE, I usually only stick with one of the primaries until I realize that I can switch like 5 mins later

          • D2 is going to be more of the same. It looks great and is fun for a while but I think I wore out the Destiny experience in the 1st iteration. I'll still buy it of course but I don't think I'll play it like I did the first one. I could be wrong though. I may end up switching over to PC for this game and play at 60fps.

              • I'm pretty disappointed. I logged significant time on D1 and I found myself wanting to quit after about 30 minutes. It's too close to the same game. Most everything just felt off. Definitely echo the underpowered comments others have made. The game looks better but not as good as it should.

              • Finally people who agree with me, I simply stated reasons why I hated the D2 beta and everyone attacked me like a pack of wild dogs.

                Great. It plays better than you think just watching the videos prior. My only mild complaint is that I wish the control matches lasted longer then five minutes. My first 2 games we mercied teams in the first minute. My super was only at 1/4.

                I am on Xbox, but I have watched some of the gameplay being streamed today, and from what I've seen, I'm not that impressed. But I think a lot of that is a result of comparing the amount of content to the beta for the original, which may or may not be fair. One thing that the overall lack of content in this beta does do is cause me to worry about how much content will be in the base game when it drops. The problem with the original game wasn't that they released to much content with the beta. It was that there was very little content at all when vanilla Destiny dropped, so having a decent sized beta required them to basically release 1/3 of the game. Them releasing substantially less this time around makes me worry that Destiny 2 will have a similar amount of content at release that vanilla Destiny had, which is definitely not a good thing. Either way, I've thoroughly enjoyed Destiny, and am still fine with shelling out $50 for Destiny 2.

                • I'm playing on PS4 Pro, and so far, I like the 4K visuals, but that's really it. There's nothing else about the game that is interesting, and a lot that is disappointing. I'll leave it at that. Enough has been said by others already.

                • So far it sound slow and boring. Not that I expected anything different but I will play the beta in a couple days just for humor.

                    • 1st beta seldom had any lag, less than the original game. Not a good sign if this one suffers from lag.

                        Pve was good, not great. The lack of powerful weapons is destroying the experience. Pvp was horrible. Only 1vs3 fights. And if i still win them the other enemies have allready respawned and kiling me at the same spot, while im reloading. Only weapon to one shot an enemy is sniper rifle every other power weapon need 2 or more shots. Fusion rifles are the biggest joke. You have to load it for 2 seconds and it still needs 2 shots to kill an enemy. So at least 4 seconds time to kill. Lol. Canceling my preorder. For me this game is not worth 70 or 110 bucks. Waiting till the price drops to 50.

                        • I thought that it was pretty meh. PVP was really bad the warlock sticky grenades did not stick most of the time and nobody tried to cap zones. I also did not like the unannounced heavy drops which take a ton of time to pick up. Maybe when there are more maps and more weapon choices it will be better. All I know is I have had enough already until the game comes out.

                          • I think it looks really good. Lots of background stuff going on in good detail. The weapons feel different, but good. The strike was nice. Good design on the level. I played one crucible match. Didn't get my super up until the match ended. Guns take more shots to kill. Since you have two primaries and one "speavy" weapon, it's obviously a primary fest. Much slower recharge on grenade and melee too. Just different. Only got about an hour and a half today. But the opening mission is fun.
