    I haven't played it just yet. I picked it up at midnight last night, but made the rookie mistake of not having my Xbox One updated, so that took a while. I plan on getting on tonight hopefully. Again, my gamertag is GuerrillaStench.

    As an aside, the midnight launch party at the Microsoft Store was pretty weak, especially compared to prior midnight launches. I mean they still have pizza and drinks, but their raffle prizes were fairly weak (all 12 month xbox live cards, with the grand prize being a nice looking headset). Even the shirts given out were not Destiny-specific, rather a generic Microsoft shirt. It was all "free," so I'm not necessarily complaining, I'm just surprised because I thought they were going to go big with it. I am not sure if this was because Destiny isn't a Microsoft exclusive, but the turnout was very weak too.

    Anyone like to play on high difficulty? I'd like to get a consistent group going if possible.

    Played until 3am last night. I'm very pleased with what I've seen so far. Though some say the story really doesn't pick up until lvl 20, it's been really good so far. Can't wait to check out some of the multiplayer stuff.

    Should I get this on Xbox 360 so I can play multiplayer with my friends or are there any positives so big that I have to get the XB-1 version?

    Ok this is not cool. My xbox one can't read the destiny disc. I just put in titanfall and it worked fine. Perhaps it is in my destiny to not play this game? Help!

    Game's getting so much hype, but reading around a bit I'm glad I'm not the only one that really isn't feeling it. I was turned on by the world and that it was a Bungie game, but that there is no true single player experience is definitely dissapointing. I'm really not much of an online gamer anymore, and because I work in such a socially demanding field, I just want to escape from everything when I game these days. I want to fall into a world I can call my own and not share it with anyone. And it's a bit disheartening if Bungie and other game developers hope for this to be the future in gaming. Give me a game like Last of Us any day.

    Thank you for that diatribe, but can someone please help me? My destiny disc still won't read. This is pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty frustrating.

    I long for the immersive single player experience. I pre-ordered Destiny but have been too busy to play it. I hope to get around to it this weekend.

    i was looking at metacritic lmao they are so bad. But like you i am also getting mixed reviews from firends...thats not a good thing. Bungie had so much invested in this game but the game honestly just looked bad to me from the start.

    To my surprise, that did not work. If I don't get out too late, I am going to stop by the Microsoft Store and try to swap it out for a new one. I am not thrilled about this inconvenience. Mark this one as a victory for first world problems.

    I actually cancelled my preorder a while ago, so I'm not included. I'm going out of the country soon, and I just figured I'd wait until my return to really dive in Destiny. Though I admit some impressions have me a little concerned (even though I enjoyed the Alpha/Beta).

    Regardless of impressions/reviews, Bungie seems to have another hit on their hands.

    I enjoyed the beta a lot but I'm still working on Diablo and just got Madden so I don't have time for a new game just yet. Luckily I pre ordered the ghost edition and was able to sell it for enough profit to finance a regular copy purchase down the road.

    Gonna ask again: is it good enough on Xbox One that its worth getting or should I get it on 360 so I can play with more of my friends? Also why are there like 0 reviews on this game? Odd
