Destiny PS4 Alpha Glitch Trolls Players Into Believing they Got the Full Game for Free

Games in their alpha testing phase have glitches. At times they’re frustrating, at times they’re funny, and at times they make you think you found some special loophole that doesn’t exist. This is the case with one surfaced on Destiny‘s public alpha, that made many believe they somehow received the full game for free.

you can pre order the game "for free" , Its like a trick , if you have a ps4 you can pre order destiny at anytime, then they WILL deduct 69.99$ 1 day before release. The trick is you get to play the beta on july 17 because you " Pre-Ordered" the game :P . I know this is wrong but im actually going to buy the game ^^ this is for the people who didnt get a chance to play the alpha . "Amazing alpha btw , loved the gameplay and it was extremely polished! You will have a blast"

pedrof934016d ago (Edited 4016d ago )

I have to say the game is fantastic, It's a borderlands kind of game with halo mechanics and its amazing !

Too bad the Alfa is capped at lvl 8.

mattgdrums4016d ago

Perfect analogy of the game halo and borderlands combined, at first I thought this game wasn't special but you have to play it to see how good it is

serratos274016d ago (Edited 4016d ago )

That is exactly how I've been describing the game. It's taking both those games, built on top of an open world, and we get an amazing experience. I'm in love with even the Alpha, but I can't wait for the full game :D.

ABizzel14016d ago

I've been saying it looks like Halo meets Borderlands for the longest, and people were acting like that wasn't a good thing. Now that I'm playing it, it's exactly what I expected which is a good thing -_-

ShinMaster4016d ago

Some of the bosses have WAY TOO MUCH health.

ICANPLAYGAMES24016d ago

It caps out at lvl 8? I found weapons and equipment at lvl 10 & 11 I was hoping to try out :(, even ran into lvl 20+ Fallen, who kicked my @$$ pretty hard. It was kind of funny, I was exploring one of the underground areas saw about 4-5 of them (lvl ???). Now, even catching them by surprise, throwing in grenades, and my special power, they all just turned around and lit me up like they were a firing squad.

kingdom184016d ago

And its those RPG elements that are exactly why I am loving it.

cyclindk4016d ago

I agree with the analogy, but never cared for the borderlands style enemy spawn mechanics.

Marcushazard4016d ago

Have we figured out I all our characters/levels/items will be transferred to the beta and full game? I've tried to find the answer, but to no avail.

White VITA1000, White PSPGO, White PS4 :-), I guess I'll buy the white Sony headset to differentiate it from my XB1 XO7 Turtle Beaches. Trust me, I've tried using my them playing Destiny Alpha yesterday, and they did not work :-(

mr2334016d ago

I can't speak for other stores, but iv'e cancelled preorders from Best Buy and Amazon with no problem. And they don't bill you for the game until its about to ship.

Debaitable4016d ago

Is it safe to say it's what I imagined Borderlands should have been? If so, Day 1!

ShinMaster4016d ago

How so? I like Borderlands' skill trees.

arkard4016d ago

I wouldn't count on it, I haven't been in a beta yet that transferred to the full version. It's not fair to give that advantage over people that's don't play till launch.

iiorestesii4016d ago

Its not that much like borderlands. More like mass effect. It takes elements from just about every FPS out there. It is aws.

GREAT games for free AWAITS.

Looking forward to Destiny.

blackout4016d ago

NOT A PS4 FAN AT ALL. But i bought the system cause this gen i will not mis out on any game coming that grabs my attention. So happy i woke up this morning and the alpha was there for the download. Have to say can't wait to play this on my x1, this game is going to be massive. Online, co-op. Xbox One & P4 forever. Enjoy gaming.

Rhezin4016d ago

LOL the mentality of some people. YOU'RE A FAN NOW since you bought a $400 system.

SpinalRemains1384016d ago (Edited 4016d ago )

?

He's saying he hadn't thought about owning one because he's not a fan. Destiny happens to be a system seller for him. If Destiny didn't attract him, he still wouldn't own a PS4. No?

He's a fan of Destiny and not so much PS4.

What's wrong with that?

Clown_Syndr0me4016d ago

Not really, Im not a huge fan of the PS4 but I own one and play it far more than my Xbox. Why? Because all my friends have one, and Im not going to miss out on playing with them.
I like the console, and the games just prefer my Xbox.

Gohadouken4016d ago (Edited 4016d ago )

But if he owns now , that makes him a fan , whatever the degree and the reasons .

You dont need to be a fanboy or specifically pro any camp to be a fan .

If true , he bought it for titles he can't miss ... isnt that the same than many people ?

Antnee5344016d ago

You know your a respectable X box fan u stated u didn't like ps4 in a civil manner. That's quite rare amongst the X box community, so thanks for being civil :)

Gohadouken4016d ago

You could have done without the "rare amongst the x box community" part . Those feuds start but assuming one camp of fan , is worse or better than the other

Boody-Bandit4016d ago

Personally I do feel one side is worse than the other.

StealthPandemic4016d ago

You're bad too. You're accusing someone. That can be said for anyone.

Blacksand14016d ago (Edited 4016d ago )

You could've waited for the X1 version. If you not a PS4 fan.

joab7774016d ago

The level 6 strike team mission is insane for a low level dungeon of sorts. If this is any indication of the full product, which it is, I am sold.

Now giv us a chat box so we can atleast shout to others.

fenome4016d ago

Seriously though, that's a good chunk of gameplay on one common goal. That's just a strike mission too, they haven't even showed a raid in public yet. Raids are supposedly up to 4 hrs of hardcore squad sh!t. I'm loving this game so far, haven't even visited the Crucible, don't even care.

He paid billions for Starfield. This should be the real story.

Microsoft bought all of Zenimax Media for 7 billion, while Sony paid 4 billion for Bungie. I think Microsoft got the better deal due to acquiring Fallout, ElderScrolls and Doom.

anast283d ago

This can't be true. They only bought Starfield...

InUrFoxHole283d ago

@anast
Should've thought that one out buddy, lol.

Yeah, I thought it out. I'm not sure you did. But since we are buddy's now, you're welcome.

So you're saying that Microsoft has missed out on so many huge gaming franchise in the last 25 years from GTA exclusivity to guitar hero and destiny it's just laughable they had so many misses

Reaper22_283d ago

Yea, but they're still 100 times more wealthy than Sony. I would say it worked out well.

Gamingsince1981283d ago

Xbox is dead all that money doesn't help.

Hypertension140283d ago

What has work out well? It sure as hell had nothing to do with Xbox.

andy85283d ago

That isn't because of Xbox though. This is a gaming page, not an I get supplemented by father Windows page

Bathyj283d ago

Microsoft's money has nothing to do with Xbox.
Xbox is a money pit to them they would love to ditch but are after some ROI first.

Let's face it, Xbox is like a red headed stepchild that steals from you to buy drugs.

Hofstaderman283d ago (Edited 283d ago )

MIicrosoft is NOT XBOX. The current situation illustrates this. And Microsoft wants its ROI.

@Bathyj and daddy Satya has just force admitted Phil to rehab.

gold_drake283d ago

you know why MS has so much money, and it aint cause of the gaming xbox branch.

so lets not kid ourselves.

PhillyDonJawn283d ago

Xbox was shown to be more profitable than ps

jznrpg283d ago

@PhillyDownJawn not more profitable. More revenue with ABK acquisition but them going multiplat shows they are not making much profit

ocelot07282d ago

That's great for Xbox gamers ain't it that Microsoft are more wealthy than Sony. Is that really a argument use are using now lol?

Imagine me in my job. Arguing with a fellow security guard at another company. Hahah well the company I work for is worth £800m the one you work for is only work £600m!

Microsoft may have more money but Sony has the talented studios and the games to back up those studios.

Plus turning down Marvel too. Spiderman is only exclusive to Playstation because of that

Hedstrom283d ago

Best deal deal in gaming must be when Sony bought Insomniac for 229 million dollars. They made over 800 millions on Spiderman for the ps4 alone. Thats just crazy!

XBManiac282d ago

More in the 1.000 million now.

gold_drake283d ago

another Interview?

how is he the only one who loves the spotlight as much as he does lol

Futureshark282d ago

Let's not forget he also famously passed on Spider-man, Genshin Impact and GTA3.

However it's almost kind of cute how he can keep that sh1t-eating grin and say he's a 'no regrets' kind of guy, especially when you think how much just these 5 titles could have swung the world in Xbox's favour instead of Sonys.

How he's kept his job I don't know, he must sure be keeping Papa Nadella's shaft warm somehow.

"But, but Gamepass, he introduced that!!!"

Yes he did, and now look at Xbox, all it's exclusives are coming to Playstation now rendering the platform obsolete.

DarXyde282d ago

Honestly, with that kind of track record, you can't convince me Spencer hasn't eaten it from the back in the name of self preservation. Probably unwashed...and at least twice.

That aside, my interpretation of everything here is Xbox has been mismanaged a bit too much and Nadella came down from his throne. The way it is now, I don't believe for a minute the multiplatform move was Spencer's idea. I don't even think the acquisitions was Spencer's work. At this point, I reckon he's got as much power in his role as Hunter Biden at a Ukrainian energy company.

DivineHand125282d ago

You can never tell how things will turn out if he had said yes to those games. Xbox already has access to some great IPs, however, they hardly do anything with them or fail to deliver. It's also possible their presentation wasn't good at the time, and they made sure the next presentation was better.

I believe that part of being successful is releasing things in the right place at the right time.

Many major corporations have a story similar to passing on successful business ideas. Let us look at Sony Pictures for example. Back when Marvel went bankrupt, they had the opportunity to buy the entire Marvel for only $25 Million but turned them down. An unnamed big shot at Sony reportedly claimed that “nobody gives a shit about any of the other Marvel characters,”. They ended up taking Spiderman for $10 Million instead.

https://www.avclub.com/sony...

Fast forward to today, we can see what the Marvel brand has done for Disney. Is it possible the same success would have been possible had Sony acquired those IPs. We can't say that for sure and it is possible most of those IPs that are successful today may not have been used.
