Destiny Beta

Postby Metcarfre » 23 Jul 2014, 08:14

Who all's in this? Big thanks to Program_IX for snagging me a beta key.

Only got to play a little bit, pretty fun so far. Gameplay reminds me of Halo, RPG elements remind me of Borderlands.

I've been watching some people play this on Twitch for a bit.

I really don't get the hype for it. It's Generic sci-fi shooter 2: The space shootening.
I mean the gameplay seems... fine, but I've seen literally nothing new or interesting (besides moon wizards), so what am I missing?

That it seems to be a MMOFPS? I've never heard of one of those before, though I might just be missing things.

It's not quite an MMO... just a lot of integrated cooperative elements.

I haven't gotten it to run yet, but Destiny is supposedly an online drop-in multiplayer game. You can run into other players on their own missions, because of random matchmaking. Kinda like Journey, I guess, but with laser guns. That's the run of it with campaign.
Seems there's also some standard FPS PvP matches, too.

An actual MMOFPS game would be Planetside.
I'm not insane. I just have an overly vivid imagination!
