the 2 days I went exploring. Lots of dead ends. Lots of Enemies that are level "??" and immune to all of my weapons. But that doesn't stop the exploration. However the exploration is often distracted by strikes! I soon found myself doing the mini missions. I was puttin in serious game time. I was on Destiny, or I was at work. I even almost cancelled my weekly poker game, which I host at my house! Everything was going great! Best of all, I had a miraculous 3 days off coming up. That is when I got blind-sided by the update. The first 2 of my days off- there was NO DESTINY. I was sick. Disgusted. I couldn't believe it. Boys and girls, Ladies and Gentlemen: You want to know how you can tell you REALLY REALLY LIKE A GAME? Once the game went down, I really really actually didn't want to play ANY OTHER GAME. Just none. I really wasn't feeling my PS3. AT ALL. I couldn't play Destiny, so I just didn't want to play anything. I spent 2 days catching up on missed shows, and spent some desperately needed quality time with my fiance. Many of the conversations were about.... That's right! Destiny. And praise Bungie for finishing the update early. Talk about withdrawals! After the Update, I notices the sharks had much better detail. I also noticed a few places had been blocked off that I could have sworn I was going to explore. I also noticed that the 9 second void pushed you back toward inbounds a bit more forcefully. I also noticed that my patented roof-top area for killing the devil walker spider looking thing had been a bit re-arranged. The solar panels I hide behind were moved over a bit. But still usable. I also kind of noticed there was all of a sudden a kind of "ceiling" on your high jumps now. But, being the gamer I am, I had switched to hunter, so attaining higher places is much harder as a hunter than a warlock. I also noticed a bit late that you can literally walk through people at the tower. I soon became readily aware that Saturday at 2pm was the cry to all gamers to unite, similar to the movie hackers when everybody tried hard to crash the system near the end of the movie. However, i got shafted at work, and my request to leave early was decimated by a co-worker showing up late that day. In retrospect, I should have just called in sick, because I entirely missed the moon. Angry, I rushed home, too late, and found a fellow gamer that I knew did NOT miss it. He informed me that not everything is lost, because Iron Tree was up for like 9 hours straight, and there was still a good 7 of it I could hit up. This momentarily appeased me, and I voluntarily missed the last hour to venture off to a friend's poker game. I slept in after, went to work, came home, and Destiny Beta WAS OVER. Yep, OVER. Here is what I can tell you. I am considering asking for time off specifically because this game will be released. I am spending a lot of time with my fiance, right now, before the game drops. I am also impressed with the ability to make an alliance between clans. Impressed with the tracking of stats and such on this website. I believe this will be game of the year hands down. It is definitely one of the prettiest. I could watch bad guys dissolve in to nothing all day. But, I do wish there was an ability to share PvP highlights. This is a cornerstone of any great shooter. I also think melee death from overhead should be more difficult, it's like a cheap shot and a sucker punch all in one, and far too many people are getting a generous melee death from it. I also think a knife shot that is not a head shot should hurt just a little more than it does. I am anxious to see how the weapons parts come into play. I also noticed the weapon screen did not look like it did in the preview videos. I am curious to see weapons that improve intellect and such. I can't wait to pick up a legendary weapon or wear some legendary armor. Or even something rare, and actually use it. I am curious about the faster sparrow we are supposed to get for pre-order. I am anxious to finish the PvE, and to see what happens at the next level as far as specials and so forth. I wish I had logged more hours to finish off all level 8 powers. I like how there are three kinds of character, and you get 3 character slots! And i am very hopeful that there are more PvP events besides domination!! I hope you have enjoyed my feedback, and i am always down for answering questions. Any glitch specifics, or even the problem of getting kicked during PvP which happened a bit too often for some of my friends' liking. Thanks for reading
