Can't Wait For Destiny - Here's The Lowdown Before The Showdown

Destiny is officially out in two days and unless you have been living in a cave with your eyes and ears closed, you may be wandering what all this Destiny hype is all about. So before the big launch, here is everything you need to know about the game to get you ready for battle.

This is going to be so epic and no i can't wait.

[CloudRap]

My anxiety levels are through the roof from the inner hype I have for this game.

[brettjones494]

Oh man its not tuesday yet.

[ShowGun901]

tues-weds ill be on destiny when im awake... wish i had the whole week off work!

[BX81]

Hells yeah. After the alpha I felt a bit let down and was going to buy metro redux instead. Then I downloaded the beta with low expectations. I absolutely loved it. This is now one of my most hyped games of the holiday.

[patelsanjeed]

My friend was saying how he wish he could have the option of playing some levels alone, but I think trying to take down an alone horde alone would be suicide. Not saying it can't be done, but damn right near impossible from the gameplays i have seen.

[Baccra17]

In the beta I did it alone until the final boss level. It can be done for most of the game, except for certain situations, which is what I like about Destiny.

[ArronNelson]

Nice bit of info. Makes me want to throw my hunters knife in that hives face.

[charliewong980]

Damn that thing looks ugly. Kind of reminds me of Alien from the Alien Movie.

[EdnaJones97]

So exactly how many planets are there so far? I have seen 3 so far but heard there a lot more than that.

[ScottyHoss]

5 locations; Earth, Moon, Mars, Venus, the Vex/Reef (my bad I forget). Hopefully expansions add 2 locations each, 9 for $90 seems fair if there's as much content as they say :D

Edit: no problem!

[EdnaJones97]

thanks, sounds more than enough to keep me busy into the new year.

[alvinmiller92]

The exclusive group events is what's getting me really psyched, like going to the moon. What a way to bring the gaming community together.

[Frankskint]

I agree, especially with all this Xbox and PS4 rivalry going on.

I wander though, since PS4 does have all these exclusive armor, it won't be hard to tell whose on a different console when a guardian pops into your time line.

[Volkama]

It isn't cross-platform, so it'll never be that hard to guess regardless of what armour they wear :-)

[danniellelewis]

Two more days and counting :)

[FullmetalRoyale]

I'm really starting to resent that Destiny tile on my PS4. With that countdown clock...

*shakes fist*

Back to Minecraft.

[amyortega131]

Got my email from Amazon that my game is on its way. woohoo

[tdogchristy90]

I'm still upset that 70% of the game is locked behind playing with others. Not that I'm anti social but what if I don't have enough personal friends to play with. Then people would say "why not play with online people"...part of the fun is playing with people you know and have a releationship with. Not some random anti personal person. Also, sometimes I just want to log on and have some fun without a need to "party up". Then there is the always online and worry about how many planets/size. I guess what I'm saying is I'm stuck waiting a couple weeks to see how it all turns out.

[edwardhuff663]

I actually get your point. Hopefully Bungie will address this at some point, cause although a lot of games are gearing towards social interaction, i myself still enjoy playing through mission alone in some games.

[averagejoe26]

Actually...MMO's have been tailored towards social interaction since the 90's...so nothing new here.

I do understand peoples' concerns over this but it's like complaining that world of Warcraft makes you play with other players...it's just the type of game it is...

Regardless, if anyone ever needs a friend to play with, comment your gamer tag and I'll add you!

[fOrlOnhOpe57]

Same here. I'm a great Borderlands2 addict and always loved to explore every nook and cranny. Problem with this is, if your tied to a team, then you're tied to their objectives and gameplay pace.
Other than that, I'm totally hyped for the launch with my digital preorder.

[ShowGun901]

its kinda like playing WoW and saying you dont want to team up with people... its not that its wrong, you're just kinda missing the point. the entire point of this game, from the ground up, was the social aspect... they could have just followed the halo formula if they wanted, but instead went off in a new direction. isn't this what we want, new IPs that try different things?

also, there is content in destiny suitable for 1 player... just not the major stuff! if you just wanna do some challenges, or the little side quests from the beacons, you can complete that stuff on days you dont feel like partying up.

most of the arguments against destiny sounds like your kid starting at a new school... "i wont know anybody!" "nobody will wanna play with me!"

dont worry little fella, you'll make some friends in destiny! you'll have a great time! by next week you wont even wanna come home!

[Baccra17]

I didn't have that problem in the beta, hopefully it'll be like the beta in that way going forward.

[DC777]

Yeah I know what you mean. Sometimes is fine but not being forced to level with a bunch of bozos that I don't know.

[ginalee554]

Tuesday can't come quick enough.

[MrWonderful]

I lot lucky and got to upgrade to a ghost edition yesterday. Im pumped and I got off until Thursday. I've not been this hyped since skyrim. I just hope it lives up to the hype. It has so much room for plenty of expansion packs. This could be a stars wars type universe

[immabadguy]

Love your profile pic.

[MrWonderful]

Thanks

[mrmonk]

Can't wait mine is sent out hopefully it's comes early lol mite have to take a couple of days of work

[cr33ping_death]

I started my vacation Friday afternoon for two weeks.... this weekend has gone buy soooo slow lol, never thought I'd say that. Will be getting my copy and my gfs Destiny Bundle White PS4 :) the wait....she kills me.

[jjb1981]

Is the Hunter class any good? I played the other two in alpha and beta so I haven't had a chance yet.
