Anyone interested in helping me with a Nightfall activity on PS4 today? I need two players. Just send a message to NoHumorMan on the PS. I'll be in the tower from time to time handing in bounties, but will probably roam around Moon and Earth patrols to get the last bits done. Just let me know you are from the RPF.
For some reason they removed matchmaking on Nightfall, which is really making things difficult for solo players.
I'm lvl 33.

Apparently my net is slow today because the 17gb update is taking forever. This thing is bouncing between 4-5 hours to download and my net is fast. It takes any longer and that and i'm going to say the hell with it. This is why i don't like digital gaming. I downloaded the entire Resident evil remake off PSN faster than this.

Dude. It's not your net. It's because of the thousands downloading the same update at the same time that's causing the slow dl speed.

I'm not sure if I'm missing something with this game? I bought Destiny a while ago and I've played it maybe 6 times and find it to be pretty boring "rinse and repeat" gameplay. Even the multiplayer is not great with your puny low entry level weapons making it almost impossible to compete.
Do I give it another go?

I'm on the fence, i was going to cancel my preorder last night but apparently it's too late. They've kinda dumbed down the bounties with this new patch so that anyone can get the and then they give you challenges for your character that force you to play with friends because you can't get them done alone (they're strike only) and randoms would make it impossible. The bungie forum is pretty split as a lot of folks are not enthused after playing the new stuff. I was talking to a clanmate last night and i think he regrets getting the digital preorder.

It just depends on what you want to get out of a game.
Single player RPG? Pass.
Cooperative FPS? Don't pass.
Player vs. Player? Debatable, but I really enjoy it. As with any game there is a steep learning curve but you're not at a disadvantage no matter what your level is in normal crucible modes.
If you like loot based games (Diablo, Borderlands), you'll like Destiny. The raids are unbelievably fun and challenging. The PVP is good but can get a bit stagnant depending on how well they've balanced weapons. For collectors the game is a lot of fun.
But if you're looking to play by yourself the story is worse than forgettable and there is very little content for a non-multiplayer minded person to do.
It seems a little early to be passing judgment when the expansion hasn't even come out. 2.0 is just a precursor to get all the new systems in place. The bungie forums are a vile cesspit no matter what they're discussing.
Yep.
Groups of entitled people who feel the world owes them everything in life. Go back in time to the late 1980s or early 90s PC gaming and complain about lack of updates and crap game design.
Destiny is the second coming in an age of enlightenment compared to those days of "I spent $$$ on this crap game!
Why do I support (insert game company here.)"
Wow, so I guess things haven't changed much.
I'd gladly take the good old days. I am in the process of trying to cancel my preorder for TTK or i'll just return it next week when it arrives and i deleted my characters. It's just not fun anymore and i can buy at least 4 used RPGs for what the game was going to cost me. Plus it saves me 60.00 in Jan when PSN plus was due.

Not sure how much I like the new stuff so far. Some things are nice like the vault, but the whole new elements of what your armor and weapons are based on.... I just got used to the old system of things and now I have to figure out what this new discipline and all that jazz do to my stats. Ugh.... I shouldn't complain, some of it has been an improvement. I've just been used to the old stuff for almost a year with leveling up, but i'm sure i'll get the hang of it,
Not me. For every single decent game I bought based on preview descriptions and pictures in "PC Gamer" magazine,
there was 2-3 bad games that looked beautiful, and sucked. Well, maybe you'll be able to find a game that suits you
with the trade in credit from TTK!
Actually since i went with gamestop i can just return it for a full refund as long as the collector's edition is unopened. I actually picked out a bunch of RPGs on amazon i can grab used, i can get like 5 of them for the price of the collector's edition. Once destiny finds it's legs i may be back.

From what I've gathered if I want to continue playing certain aspects of the game that I will have to get the new one. Can't say that I agree with that but meh. I'll wait and see what people think about it.
Pretty much, they're going to make it more and more that if you don't buy the DLC each time you'll have less and less you can access. I think you can't even play The Taken King without the last 2 DLC installed which is why the more expensive packages come with the game and vouchers for the 3 dlc.
I got my special edition today and it's going back tomorrow, it arrived too late for a gamestop run today as I'm not about to deal with that traffic. I'll go tomorrow at 10am. I really like the stuff in the collector's edition but not enough to eat 90.00 on a game i'm not going to play.
