    Re: Destiny

    I do pretty well in control, but not so hot in clash. Oh well, just need to complete 5 matches to finish a bounty, then it's back to control anyways.

      Control is by far my favorite game mode. Chaotic but strategic at the same time.

      One thing I like about Destiny is it's a game in which you can literally just pick up and play. For people who can't spend 30-40 hours a week playing video games, Destiny is the perfect game if you only have an hour or two every few days to play. Play a quick Strike Mission or Raid, hop into a few games of MP, play some random events or just explore and complete the Vanguard beacon missions on free roam.

      It's hard to review a game like this because it's constantly evolving and changing. For me Destiny has never been or never will be about the story in all honesty. I was drawn to the strike missions, raids, and MP mostly. I see this game as the FPS version of Diablo III. Just kill things, get loot and go and kill more things.

        I like the Scout Rifles because their the closest thing to the BR/DMR in Halo. Hand Cannons are fun too, but I decided to give the Shingen-C (Auto Rifle) a go in 4 PVP matches. Why does this weapon have so much stability?

          Unlike some others I don't really care about the SP and I'd rather play the MP. I hate that they make you get to level 6 before playing.

            Level 22 now, no where close to beating the story. I am having so much fun with the strikes and the crucible. Crack I tell you.

            HINT on leveling up past 20...

              Man Salvage is an absolute blast to play. And I've only played with randoms. Can't wait to team up with 2 buddies or 2 others from OS. You can really roll if you get a good squad with communication

                I have been thinking the same thing. You really can't judge it now. Look back in a year and see how much content it has.

                People want to compartmentalize games so much, but this one is pretty unique for consoles and is difficult to review, because it is so non-traditional.

                  I have been on the fence about this game...but this may have just sold it.

                  Question for those that do it, when you hit max level is there still incentive to play? Like, in Diablo 3 I hit max level and I keep playing, killing more monsters and trying to get better loot. Is there some good end-game content here?

                    Yes.

                    I am level 22 like I just said, and I want better ****.

                      Yes, but don't go in expecting ARPG loot.

                      Go in fully expecting an MMO loot-grind.

                      Using Crucible Marks as an example here. You can get 100 marks/week.

                      Once you hit reputation level 2 with whichever vendor is selling the stuff you want (there's FWC, Dead Orbit, the general Crucible vendor), which will take quite some time, the crucible gear sets cost...

                      Primary Weapon - 150 marks
                      Secondary Weapon - 150 marks
                      Heavy Weapon - 150 marks
                      Head - 120 marks
                      Arms - 65 marks
                      Chest - 65 marks
                      Boots - 65 marks
                      Class Item - 65 marks (note: for these, you can get them for Glimmer only if they are from one of the other reputations, as that is how you raise them)

                      for a grand total of... 830 marks. Which would be 9 weeks worth of maxing out marks/week and grinding reputations.

                      Note that this is NOT the only way to gear up. But it is the only way to know exactly what you are buying/getting.

                      That timeframe also applies to the Vanguard weapons and armor from that vendor.

                        Hope you didn't mind me hoping in! Lol

                        This game is really meant to be played with teammates. Never enjoy it as much without.

                          Is anyone up to help me out with the last mission Black Garden? Currently trying it by myself.

                            That was fun. First time playing in a Strike Team and had a blast. Game is so much better when playing cooperatively.

                              Regarding the gear you get from the Crucible vendors. Can you only use that gear (like the stuff uber mentioned in his post) in the Crucible itself, or also in strike missions and the such?

                                99% sure you can use it everywhere.
