Destiny Alpha First Impressions

So it’s no secret that Bungie launched a Playstation 4 only alpha for their newest game Destiny, and that they were looking for devoted fans to become players in the Alpha. Here at Gamers Sphere, we got lucky enough to be a part of this Alpha-beta. Join ChemicalxRachel as she discusses her first impressions of Destiny.

I should've never played it. Now September feels like it's 10 years away.

LetoAtreides824406d ago

Thanks, it's sounding good to me. I gave my alpha code to someone else because I'm too busy enjoying Watch Dogs. I'll try the closed (or is it open?) beta next month.

Jsoc4406d ago

I like the game so far, but I did not have the same problems she had. Loading times where quick and I found a lot of other players doing roaming and single player. It does have a halo feel to it and borderlands . Can't wait for the beta next month just to see what gets added or taken out...

Shadonic4406d ago

The absence of players is actually a bug that people have been experiencing. It might also be linked to different characters as my younger brothers hunter did not experience it but my warlock did.

Loving this alpha. Most definitely going to be purchasing the final game on release as long as most of the reviews are positive.

Wolfbiker4406d ago

so...you love the game, yet youre going to allow other peoples opinions sway your purchase? come on man...dont be a slave.

dodgemoose4406d ago

I repeat, 'Loving this alpha'. I have not played the final game and do not know how much content is available, whether bosses/missions will get repetitive, and so worth. Therefore, no, I'm not going to pre-order it. I'm going to wait for the people who get paid for a living to review games to tell me whether what I experience in the alpha, and later the beta, truly reflects what's available in the game as a whole. If that makes me a 'slave', then okay. I'd rather be cautious then pre-order a game, with no incentives to do so, simply because I couldn't demonstrate any kind of self-restraint.

Maybe they could let us control the ship during loading so we have something to do. They weren't terribly long but long enough to get bored.

Shadonic4406d ago

I usually use that time to prepare and make sure im ready for battle. Wouldnt worry about the loading that much since its an alpha.

incendy354406d ago

True, plus once it is on Xbox you can just snap TV or twitter.

Its neat especially since not everyone might have two friends playing it. Makes it more personal to go at in duos.

It's 2026 and basic match making features in MP games are still being drip fed to an audience that still gets excited over said basic feature being implemented.

Marathon hands-on preview | Notebookcheck

Darryl Linington from Notebookcheck.net writes: "Early hands-on time with Marathon, spanning roughly 10 hours, points to a distinctive extraction shooter with strong shell-based class design, layered faction progression, surreal presentation, and a dense UI that still needs smoothing out."

Almost 16,000 reviews on Steam currently has the game sitting on a very positive 90% Not sure if it has the player numbers but those who are playing seem to be enjoying themselves.

Putte121d ago

And as of now a 5.1 user score on metacritic. Really bad.

LiViNgLeGaCY121d ago

On Steam, you have to have bought the game, in order to play. On metacritic, ANYONE can review it. I'll leave it for you to decide which one matters more.

MrNinosan121d ago

Trolls on Metacritic, must be a new thing or you were born yesterday

The game is really really bad. So generic boring and lifeless. UI is terrible. Bad and slow gameplay. Not sure who gives the go ahead for these games. Insane all that money companies just throw away for no reason. Nobody a asking for these games

LiViNgLeGaCY121d ago

You haven't played it. That much is apparent from your comment. Gameplay is FAR from slow and boring. I do agree the UI definitely needs to be re-worked. But then again, you're just repeating a complaint you're reading about, not actually experiencing.

MrNinosan121d ago

Can you show any proof you've actually played it, by sharing your PSN ID or Steam profile? Nah, guessed as much.

Outside_ofthe_Box121d ago

Gunplay is the best thing about the game. To call it bad is wrong. Just because it isn't a twitch shooter doesn't mean it's slow, not everything has to play the same. Everything else is generic I agree.

Flenter121d ago

Yes I am. But tell me ,with goty games do you play? Have you even played Marathon? If not ...S T F U!!
So sick and tired of the hate BS 🤮🤮
