One of the reasons for the alpha was to play test the multiplayer, and fix any imbalances the game may have. I loved the MP, but dislike playing on the moon 75% of the time, because as you said, there's players out there who just whored the vehicles the whole game.
I'm not sure how Bungie are going to balance the multiplayer because they're always going to make some part of the community unhappy.
Example 1: If I grind my ass off hours on end for a...
Without consoles most of these games that PC elitists claim are being held back probably wouldn't even exist!
After finishing the story etc. I'm guessing the whole point of Destiny is to find better gear to take into PVP like with most MMO games?
I played the Alpha solid for 3 days, and the MP does feel quite competitive, which is right up my alley. After adjusting to the game from playing nothing but BF4 (MP FPS wise) since the PS4 came out, this is going to be a very good change of pace for me. I loved Halo 3 & Reach MLG playlists, and I really miss a good competitive shoot...

You're right, you can achieve a good team without paying, but I'm going to guess that you might be one of the few that doesn't do that on FUT. I myself don't buy gold packs with real money and have established myself a decent team (83 overall I think) but not world class.
It just really frustrates me that when I do lose it tends to be to those over powered players who often create those bull s**t moments.

MMO's are new to console gamers, but I have also spent my fair share on MMO's over the years. Over 750 hours on the original GuildWars, got to level 50 on WoW before it was 'cool' and played the hell out of FFXIV:ARR, but recently stopped as I got a few games all at once and just haven't returned to it since.
It's not that you don't like the game that's showing you're a bias PC user, or at least in my opinion, it's that you're sayi...
Well said.
To people who aren't FIFA fans, the game may look the same every year but if I was to go back and play FIFA 13 now, I'd most definitely be different! EA has taken a different approach with 14, and it is much different than the previous installment.
The only thing I dislike about FIFA is how FUT is such a pay to win gamemode.
Say again? Have you played Destiny? Or are you another PC only guy downplaying something on console because you know you won't have access to this great game?
I've been playing the Alpha since Thursday night and it's more polished than any Beta I've played. The fact you're calling this game generic just shows your elitism.
My only complaints about this game so far, and they aren't really complaints considering this game still has tons ...
I'm in the beta, I can confirm that this pretty much just feels like DLC for Battlefield 4.
Having said that it's still a fun game, even if it is running on an old build with bad net code problems.
Ditto...
Are you using a Turtle Beach headset? If so then it's a flaw with Turtle Beach technology and has existed since as long as I can remember.
I've not experienced this using the mic I got with my PlayStation.
I agree, BF4's gun play is so hit and miss as it is already with current 'normal' damage. Sometimes they drop insanely quick, other times they take insane amount of bullets. Hey, sometimes you don't even get hit markers at all and your bullets pass right though people!
Altering this now could just make things a whole lot worse, why not just focus on current game issues, then tweak the non broken things later.
If anyone fancies a game of BF4 bt...
I'm from the UK too, I got this game on Saturday, as I often do with games releasing on Tuesdays. Not sure why, but I ain't complaining :P
@Gillri
Your comment while true and contributes well to the discussion at hand, does more at showing the lack intelligence of people who use N4G.
Still, good comment, I wish more people understood the 'Hardware : Graphics output' ratio argument. Maybe they would have an higher appreciation for what some developers are able achieve with set hardware.
Halo 3 last gen were most fun and competitive days for me, unfortunately it was all downhill from there.
That's so true. Basically anyone who's running 4K right now either have an amazingly high paying job, or have no other priorities in life besides games.
@Hay
You couldn't be more wrong, having played my fair share of MMO's and having absolutely no loyalties to the FF series at all, I love this game, it's so much fun.
The only thing that annoyed me was the amount of load screen. Go here, open a window, LOAD SCREEN... Spend 10 seconds in a room to realise nothing of importance is there, go back out the same window, LOAD SCREEN!
Apart from that annoyance I actually enjoyed this game.
FIFA 14 is still shite... Over the top through ball, shoot and score!
Or... Cross into the box, head and score.
It's still a one dimensional game.
Because as much as I love gaming, it isn't the only thing I do in my life! I have other responsibilities too which limits the time I get to play just the 1 gaming platform.
Having multiple platforms is alright for people who earn good money/have no other interests beyond gaming.
How is XBL better than PSN? I'm not sure it does anything that PSN doesn't. They both perform the same in multiplayer gaming, and that's all that matters.
In terms of value, you have to give that to PSN... It has far better offerings.
