Far too much writing in the article preview.

They've literally been giving them out all week on reddit

Destiny Alpha Beta?

I don't think that means what you think it means...

Software_Lover4364d ago

Wow, glad to finally hear it from an actual player. This basically plays like Halo reskinned. The first enemies move exactly like Elites. The guns look like Halo. The controls feel like Halo. Just looking at it, they move in packs like the Covenant. Their weapons look like they perform the same, even the same sounds.

If anyone says they didn't get into Halo because they didn't like how it plays but loves this........ well, you know. It would be like Guerilla making a multipat game (killzone reskinned) and someone who ragged Killzone all these years all of a sudden love Guerillas new game.

Reverie9904364d ago (Edited 4364d ago )

I love Halo and I had the chance to try Destiny's Alpha. I can't say it felt too much like playing Halo reskinned, but it did feel a lot like a Bungie game. If I had to make a comparison I'd say Destiny is the love child of Halo and Borderlands.

Crazyglues4364d ago

Yeah Softwar_Lover you could say it's Halo re-skinned with a few tweaks here and there...

-And it sure is a lot of fun to play, I'm really not mad at it, sure they took a lot of things from Halo/borderlands but I think what they have done here is going to be a huge success..

works well, looks awesome, and is a hell of a lot of fun to play..

I just had to put my sensitivity up to 6, and now it feels amazing... Really loving the Alpha

Glad you liked it. I'm sure I will probably like it as well. Right now in my life though, I think I'm looking for a robust single player experience. Offline. I know I'm looking forward to The Division, but I think not as much as I was a few months ago. I seriously hope Bioware/E.A. dont f' up Mass Effect.

I want.....
MC Collection to play all of the single player campaigns
Mass Effect
Uncharted
Arkham Knight
GTA V

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.

Putte79d ago

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

LiViNgLeGaCY79d 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.

MrNinosan79d 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

LiViNgLeGaCY79d 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.

MrNinosan79d 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_Box79d 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.

Flenter78d 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 🤮🤮
