Keep finding more areas in this alpha, its really a massive landmass were on and the devs have said its only 10% of the final game.

I found a valley to the right of the slope before the building with the radar on top. Follow it round (great to navigate with your Speeder) you'll come to some grounded ships. Careful though as go too far and you'll come across some enemies with ??? where their level should be. They kill you fast....

Im looking at getting this game on XB1. Is it multiplayer only or is it both single and multi?

It's at heart a coop game but you can play by yourself but if you do Strikes (dungeons essentially) you get matched with others.

There is a MP section called the Crucible which is bog standard TDM, CTF etc. I played once and don't think I'll bother again.

The seemless coop/sp is great though, even if you play alone you will still see others running around doing their stuff.

So im going to be without internet for a while because we are moving in the middle of september. I was going to get Destiny or NHL 15.is Destiny more like a MMO or can it be played offline?

I think it may need access to the net, not sure though.

THats the impression I got. No biggie, Ill get NHL 15 then get Destiny for Christmas. If it bombs ill save money!!

Still on the fence with this. I'm looking for a ps4 game that I can play online with some friends, not many of them play Battlefield and I'm over CoD about 4 releases ago.

Sounds like there will be a lot of expansion packs.

So, had it delivered yesterday and had not really been looking forward to it but I started playing after work and 2 hours later turned it off and went and did something else. Either I have burnt out on the beta (as the release game is what we played in the beta over and over) or I really am starting to lose interest in ALL games.

I have an interest in it but can't be bothered to play. Perhaps once I get past the beta areas it will become more interesting to me. One thing that annoyed me was that to progress in the story and get to new areas you do the missions that appear on the map and they are for certain levels (but you can do if lower level than stated but is harder obviously) and I like to do them when I'm at the stated level. So there is a level 5 one and I'm level 4 so I think I'll do what I did in the beta and do some free roam and level up that way. Launched into free roam, got a random mission that takes me into an area with level 9 Knights which kill me with one shot. Try running past, killed with one shot, try fighting in and out of cover, killed with one shot... What is the point of putting the area I need to get to behind enemies I don't have a hope in hell of beating? I turned off at that point.

I'll retry tonight but I feel like I'm making myself play it.

Got my xb1 yesterday with a copy of Destiny and started playing for about 2-3 hours after the install finished.
Was surprised it went relatively smoothly with only one disconnect. Not bad for launch day.

Very much like what I�ve seen so far! Didn�t participate in the beta so all areas are new for me.

Reminds me very much of a mix between Halo and Borderlands. Both games I enjoy tremendously and I hope Destiny can live up to the high expectations and deliver some solid gameplay over the next time.

Mace, I had a similar experience doing a story mission for my lvl 2 character.
Went into some tunnel and got into a confrontation with a lvl 16 enemy. That came as a surprise though a very short lived one.
And I wasn�t the only player who was sent to the last respawn point instantly as I witnessed when I tried a few more times to get a way around that monster.

If anyone on xb1 wants to give that game (or another one) a try in multiplay feel free to add me to your friend list on xBox live; NimrudSHQ.
Destiny is probably a ton more fun playing it together as a group on voicecoms.

I am Tempest45, got the XBox One and Destiny at the midnight release after I redeemed some credit card reward points. Currently a level 10 Titan but my daughters have created a blue girl warlock and a robot girl warlock which I may play too on their behalf.

Like I said before, it sure looks interesting, but not really into Sci Fi games... all the videos I have seen thou contain a shooter pet peeve of mind, IE: Borderlands was terrible with it too... and that's taking to many rounds to kill a target, drives me nuts to see it take a full mag or so to kill a bad guy, probably why I play Hardcore most of the time.... enjoy the game thou folks, does LOOK incredible.

Yeah health bars are pretty obnoxious, I liked how Halo did it with certain enemies having strong points but everyone was still vulnerable

Still keeping an eye on this, I might pick up a next gen console at some point

I have it on 360.

Now I'm out of the beta area and totally new levels I like it again but I can see it becoming repetitive fast as it is pretty much rinse and repeat...

Really struggling to like the missions, they are rinse and repeat without any attempt to hide it! Go to a planet, fight your way to area/building X, find data, have Ghost download data and then OOOPS here come the baddies again, fight them off whilst it is downloaded. Back to the Tower, then off to do the same over and over.

Even the weapons and armour and re-skins and the game is all about the loot.

Wish I'd gone with my gut instinct after the beta and not bought in...

Just got my XBO this week. I debated whether to buy the bundle with Destiny and BF4 or the bundle with FM5 and BF4. I opted for FM5 with BF4. Without a wheel, I know I won't play FM5 all that much but, honestly, I'm glad I didn't get Destiny. Despite all the hype, from the video and reviews I've seen, I'd have not liked this very much. The SP does look repetitive and the MP seems too much like Halo, which I hated (yeah, I know, blasphemy).

Sold it this morning.

After playing till late last night, pretty much the same thing over and over I just couldn't justify the �40 I'd spent on it. Got �35 for it so only lost a fiver.

It looks gorgeous and is a good idea but flawed. I have heard people saying it's not a game you play on your own but I don't want to play with anyone else, having to wait until someone else ready to play it and even then the repetition is still there.

Glad I got my money back. Bungie, stick to Halo.

Don�t feel the urge to fire up my box just to play Destiny but the moment I start playing it I enjoy it. Weird.

It works best for me in those rare moments when you encounter other players and do some ad hoc group stuff together in public events like "Defend/Destroy/etc. that...".

Was hoping for a bit more story driven singleplayer action but as long as the game keeps me coming back looking for more action I� m happy.

Only a lvl 8 Titan right now and just having reached the moon, there is still plenty of content left and I� m taking my time anyway. No rush to reach the end of the game.

Oh I'm sure there will be plenty of content and even more in all the DLC they'll be selling but it will still be the same rinse and repeat formula. Borderlands is far superior, never did a mission feel like the last and at least when you killed a boss THEY DROPPED LOOT!!! In Destiny they drop absolutely nothing. It's all about the loot and the drops are very few.

I got a Warlock to level 11 and couldn't do one more cookie cutter mission. That's another thing there is very little difference between the 3 classes other than they punch differently...

I actually prefer the way Destiny does loot, although I could certainly do without bosses entirely.

If I shotgun someone to death I don't expect much worth keeping to survive the splosion. However in Borderlands it works because it's a very stylized game; Destiny is like Borderlands serious mode.

I'm enjoying both
