Destiny Beta Begins: Detailing 20 Minutes of Gameplay

Looks like every flat shooter game that's come out in the last 5 years. It instantly reminded me of UT2K3/2K4 when the "fallen" showed up.

lol at how long it took them to target the wall mines.
 
ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.........yawn
 
Yup, I knew it. Fucking console control movement.

Next....
 
So what did they just mash Borderlands and Halo together? Or is it Borderlands and Mass Effect? Either way that game play video was horrible representation of the game... I hope...
 
The beta is very short. But I'm guessing because of the spoilers involved in the SP. I'm excited for it. But I'm also a realist and I know it won't be anything massively groundbreaking.
 
It's a good game. I wish it were coming out on the PC for all the obvious reasons.

It really is a good mix of elements of Halo, Borderlands, and Mass Effect as others have said. Solid but not earth shattering.

15:48. Hilarious. Let's just run into the middle of 7 enemies and only suffer minor damage.

It's literally level 1 stuff in the absolute first bit of the game, and they're just trash mobs. They aren't supposed to be strong.

I hope later missions are significantly less linear.

There's open world where you can go wherever you want.

Holy fuck a console game on a console uses a console controller

This is completely unexpected
 
Talked about too long. It will never live up to the build up. Fire the marketing responsible persons, scrap the project and turn the work into something else.
 
Achievement Hunter (Rooster Teeth) http://achievementhunter.com/archive/?id=9419 did a lets play in the game last week and then did a sponsor play Friday night where they played with people. I missed the sponsor video they did. Watching the achievement hunter let's play I couldn't help but get the halo vibe from the game, not surprised though. Have mixed feeling about wanting to try it myself.
 
Does this game even have a story? It's always screenshots or videos of some faceless character and absolutely nothing going on other than shooting random baddies. There's absolutely no soul emanating from the game's world, in my opinion.

And I agree about the marketing. They got out way, way too far ahead of the game's development.

The guy playing it is terrible.

Yeah. Pretty sure my 9yo daughter could move out of the way of a grenade. This guy took every one right at his feet.

You would think you would use someone who could show of steady game play and maybe some particulars that put your game apart from the rest. This looks like a halo run from a 8yo in Gamestop. Really unimpressed. All he showed was you can leapfrog mobs and just reach the objective.

Yes there is a story but no set characters. The game is a massive online FPS. So think of it like WoW with a gun. Overall story is something like Earth is attacked by a alien race, right before it is fully destroyed some other race steps in to stop the attack and save us. Now it is many decades later and everyone lives in a single city in the only safe area left on earth. Think the game is basically round 2 of the massive war.

So there won't be any single character that you see as you make your own generic character based on different races and classes. Fights will be the same as you are going around doing different quest so you will see tones of random baddies to get to the end and complete said quest.

That annoying navi-like hand-holder bithc needs to take some beano quick...
 
Quality =) Even like the background music analong is always going to be like that can't be any worse then Borderlands or Killzone going to play the beta tomorrow.
 
The guy playing here doesn't seem very experienced. Someone with any reasonable controller experience will play a ton smoother than this.

That aside, the game itself looks like it might have potential.
 
I played it and got to max lvl in the beta (8). It's alright I guess but nothing special. Kind of reminds me of firefall without the jump packs and less stuff to do.

Suffice to say, I have no business playing FPS on a console (I'll be selling my copy as soon as I get it lol)
 
I was watching my girlfriend play the beta. I thought it look great, will be a day 1 purchase for me. Though anything with decent co-op play generally does
 
"yawn"... yup, im getting old, cause this mmo/rpg/arp/whatever looks boring and uninspiring, like just about everything else coming out.
 
Looks kinda shitty, and the gameplay is boring. This would have been great if HL2 and every subsequent FPS hadn't happened.

I wonder if marketing can overcome the lameness and make it a success (probably).
 
Looks like an update Marathon ..... Was excited about it until I saw the game play... looks like nothing new...
 
I will say that I enjoy the art direction for the outdoor landscapes.

I cannot, though, stand the Haloesque indoor environments.

To be honest, I'd say indoor environments are generally poorer than outdoor ones in most titles, though. So this is nothing knew.
