[Xbox One] Destiny

Add another, Raylicious will be there. lvl 28. 11 pm is good

 

how is it as an fps?

 

Just biding my time until Master Chief Collection...

 

I'm less than thrilled with it. I bought it about 2 weeks ago and haven't touched it for a week. Instead, I find myself coming home to play CS:GO.

FPS elements are good. Good shooting mechanics to be expected from Halo creators.

The RPG elements are very meh. The skill tree is pretty limited in its customization. I'm only level 10, but there are no alternative skill trees as every skill is learned. From what I can tell, you just have the option of choosing skill A or skill B and there's no leveling up of each skill.

Each skill doesn't really change the gameplay much, either. Started off as a Gunslinger, the skills I gained by now are incendiary grenade vs. multi-grenade, double jump, knife throw, and the golden gun which charges so slowly that it's rarely used because you save it for bigger enemies. I pretty much rely on killing enemies the standard way with guns so it feels like my skills go unused and don't add much.

The criticism about the missions is very warranted. There's basically two repeated missions: trek your way into a lair and kill a boss or trek your way into a lair and defend it from waves of enemies. Very bland.

The open world where anyone can join your realm doesn't add much either. It's typically two randoms that can range from any level, yours or 20+, and everyone does their own thing. The mission isn't shared, the only time you'll see them is when an event, an optional side mission, happens and everyone congregates to kill waves of enemies.

Loot is very sparsely dropped from enemies in normal gameplay and it comes down to what gives higher stats.

I never really followed this game in development or got hyped from playing the beta. The only reason I bought it was because it was $30 from Fry's, and being a AAA title one month after release, I figure I could give it a try and trade it in if I didn't like it. It looks like I'm leaning towards the latter.

I have the new Borderlands shipping in. Always enjoyed that series as an FPS RPG.

 

I'm at LVL 24 add me for strike! I need a strike team!

Thanks, looks like I'll just wait the 2wks for the master chief collection.

 

Still doing that group thing? Can i be invited, I'm only lvl20 tho?

 

I wasn't able to message you guys through Xbox. I got disconnected and couldn't join and decided to call it a night. Hopefully we have better luck next time.

 

I just need raid boots and I'm level 30.

 

Up to level 23. I got my first legendary item today....just body armor...

 

Where is the PS3 thread at ;<

 

level 30 here

waiting on dlc now

 

I think it's 24 or 25, but going into the vault any lower than 26 is asking for frustration. The optimal level for normal mode is 28. Otherwise monsters do a lot more damage to you, and you do a lot less to them. Frankly level 26 is almost too low, at level 25 you're just a liability.

 

would love to get in a game with you guys, when gta5 was the "in" game those clutchfans groups were fun.. however i broke my thumb last week, so no gaming for a while..

 

Quick question.

I recently finally lvled up to lvl20, i don't play often, as a titan. But i feel maybe i should have went Hunter instead, or even warlock. I don't like the sub-class shield and the fist is only ok. Should i got ahead and create a new chapter and start over lvling it instead, or push forward with my titan? I'd really hate to do the story all over again, as it was kind of bland.

 

We'll be there. Just confirmed with Raylicious and Evraeee
