Destiny is going to be so good... The beta has rocked so far

BattleTorn4322d ago

I just wish there was more content that you could keep for the final game.

I heard that later in the week we'll get the opportunity to earn some "permanent" rewards.

Cryptcuzz4322d ago

Yeah, the 26th I believe at 2PM.
Make sure you report back for beta duty Guardian!

Apparently the rewards will be handsome and permanent. Their words, not mines. LOL.

I hope they will be offering a chance to acquire Legendary weapons and equipment again like they did with the Crucible event over the weekend.

I freakin played all weekend and did not notice of this event until early this morning. FML. So I missed out big time. Needless to say, I am now going to be checking on their website daily for events like this.

thrust4322d ago

Do you keep your char or do they wipe it?

GW2124322d ago (Edited 4322d ago )

I don't know... I'm guessing yes they wipe it. Otherwise you'll have people from the beta on level 10 (or whatever they end up capping it at by beta's end)on the first day of its release.

That said, I hope they let me keep the character. It's the same one I'll "develop" when the full game is released.

Cryptcuzz4322d ago

There isn't an official answer on whether they would or would not.

I am guessing everyone would be starting at level 1 again, but maybe certain items like Rare and Legendary equipment would be carried over.

That way, those who worked hard (or got lucky) grinding in getting those items in the beta can simply work their way to the appropriate levels in the final game to equip them.

TheFallenAngel4322d ago

Yeah destiny is amazing. My favorite part is the coop missions. I love that. How do I get into online matches like domination? For some reason I can't find it like I did in the alpha. This game will be shooter of the year.

GW2124322d ago

You have to get to level 5 (I believe) before the Crucible PvP stuff is unlocked.

But I agree with you, I love the co-op stuff more than PvP.

its_JEFF4322d ago

@TheFallen the Crucible only opens up for your after you reach arleast lvl 5.

edwick4322d ago

you have to be level 5 then go to the tower and see some guy and he gives you an invite, if i remember correctly.

starchild4322d ago

Yep, glad I have my PS4 for this one, since it's unknown at this time whether it will come to PC for sure.

It's so easy to slide into the Hell Tank's freaking shock grenades. It kills me a little inside every time I do it.

lmcontaldi4322d ago

I would have never thought they could make an IP that tops Halo...

Gazondaily4322d ago

Pve wise maybe. But in Pvp? No chance.

Soldierone4322d ago

I hate the first boss you come across, the tank or whatever it is. I always die more times taking him down than the final boss, and it takes FOREVER to get him down. We even had all 3 guys shooting one leg and it still took forever.

WeAreLegion4322d ago

One of my team mates quit, so it was up to just two of us to take him down. While it DOES take forever, the best solution is to stay in that little bunker to the right of the map, right next to the tank. You can shoot him from there without taking damage and constantly revive each other. When the little dudes spawn, they'll head straight for the middle of the map. Spam them with special moves when they do that. Then, get back on destroying that tank. It takes forever, I know, but it's a decent strategy.

youndamie4322d ago

I just go to the first building on the right in the back of the map. The little guys don't even bother coming up. You just have to watch for when the walker is using it's laser targeting and run out the room.

Soldierone4322d ago

I had my teammate camp in there so that when the other two of us died he would just sit there until we respawned.

I normally go to the left, and get behind him. You get a lot more critical hits if you are behind him and he never turns if you have another guy out in the middle. Also the other enemies won't go over there except for one or two. The only bad thing is eventually you do get hit if you do enough damage to gain attention and die super fast.

I've done it 3 times. 1st time was with a group that didn't really focus fire, took FOREVER. second time was this (told one guy to sit in the cave so we don't die) Third time we were all shooting one leg and got him down to less than 10 percent, then he owned us all with one shot somehow(we were not next to each other yet all died)..... 15 minutes of shooting a leg wasted because we had to do it all over again lol

kneon4322d ago

It's not that bad if you are careful, I've done it solo, it just takes longer and you have to make sure not to waste ammo as ammo is scarce here.

Start by ignoring all the enemies and fly your sparrow straight to the room with the stairs on the far left. It's a safe spot because enemies will never enter that area. BTW there is a ghost upstairs on the console.

If you want to reduce the devil walkers fire power then shoot only at the rocket launcher until it explodes. Then shoot the legs until he open ups, thats when you hit him with a grenade and open fire on his exposed innards.Rinse and repeat.

If you run out of ammo then you need to carefully venture forth and kill a few enemies if needed, preferably with grenades so as to conserve ammo. Then get back to room and continue.

Cryptcuzz4322d ago

Yeah, that was an awesome fight and gave off a sense of real accomplishment when the big bastard finally exploded.

Thanks for the tip on the ghost location there. Did not know that before and what are the ghosts for anyways?

kneon4322d ago

The ghosts are just a collectible, I think getting them all unlocks stuff at bungie.net. I haven't bothered actively looking for them but I've found quite a few, but I don't know how many there are to find.

TheFallenAngel4322d ago

Yea it takes forever but with good guns and that power up gun thing is faster to kill it.

lamsiam134322d ago (Edited 4322d ago )

how can i get acode for ps3 beta destiny?

Cryptcuzz4322d ago

Pre-order the game. You will get three codes. When signing up on Bungie's website, make sure you select the right console that you have, since if you accidentally clicked on redeeming PS4 codes and don't have one (for example), it won't work on the PS3.

Xbox Passed On Destiny & Guitar Hero According To Phil Spencer

Phil Spencer talks candidly about missing out on both Destiny and Guitar Hero

He paid billions for Starfield. This should be the real story.

Microsoft bought all of Zenimax Media for 7 billion, while Sony paid 4 billion for Bungie. I think Microsoft got the better deal due to acquiring Fallout, ElderScrolls and Doom.

626d ago
anast626d ago

This can't be true. They only bought Starfield...

InUrFoxHole626d ago

@anast
Should've thought that one out buddy, lol.

Yeah, I thought it out. I'm not sure you did. But since we are buddy's now, you're welcome.

So you're saying that Microsoft has missed out on so many huge gaming franchise in the last 25 years from GTA exclusivity to guitar hero and destiny it's just laughable they had so many misses

Reaper22_626d ago

Yea, but they're still 100 times more wealthy than Sony. I would say it worked out well.

Gamingsince1981626d ago

Xbox is dead all that money doesn't help.

Hypertension140626d ago

What has work out well? It sure as hell had nothing to do with Xbox.

andy85626d ago

That isn't because of Xbox though. This is a gaming page, not an I get supplemented by father Windows page

Bathyj626d ago

Microsoft's money has nothing to do with Xbox.
Xbox is a money pit to them they would love to ditch but are after some ROI first.

Let's face it, Xbox is like a red headed stepchild that steals from you to buy drugs.

Hofstaderman626d ago (Edited 626d ago )

MIicrosoft is NOT XBOX. The current situation illustrates this. And Microsoft wants its ROI.

@Bathyj and daddy Satya has just force admitted Phil to rehab.

gold_drake626d ago

you know why MS has so much money, and it aint cause of the gaming xbox branch.

so lets not kid ourselves.

PhillyDonJawn626d ago

Xbox was shown to be more profitable than ps

jznrpg626d ago

@PhillyDownJawn not more profitable. More revenue with ABK acquisition but them going multiplat shows they are not making much profit

ocelot07626d ago

That's great for Xbox gamers ain't it that Microsoft are more wealthy than Sony. Is that really a argument use are using now lol?

Imagine me in my job. Arguing with a fellow security guard at another company. Hahah well the company I work for is worth £800m the one you work for is only work £600m!

Knightofelemia625d ago

Microsoft may have more money but Sony has the talented studios and the games to back up those studios.

Plus turning down Marvel too. Spiderman is only exclusive to Playstation because of that

Hedstrom626d ago

Best deal deal in gaming must be when Sony bought Insomniac for 229 million dollars. They made over 800 millions on Spiderman for the ps4 alone. Thats just crazy!

XBManiac626d ago

More in the 1.000 million now.

gold_drake626d ago

another Interview?

how is he the only one who loves the spotlight as much as he does lol

Futureshark626d ago

Let's not forget he also famously passed on Spider-man, Genshin Impact and GTA3.

However it's almost kind of cute how he can keep that sh1t-eating grin and say he's a 'no regrets' kind of guy, especially when you think how much just these 5 titles could have swung the world in Xbox's favour instead of Sonys.

How he's kept his job I don't know, he must sure be keeping Papa Nadella's shaft warm somehow.

"But, but Gamepass, he introduced that!!!"

Yes he did, and now look at Xbox, all it's exclusives are coming to Playstation now rendering the platform obsolete.

DarXyde626d ago

Honestly, with that kind of track record, you can't convince me Spencer hasn't eaten it from the back in the name of self preservation. Probably unwashed...and at least twice.

That aside, my interpretation of everything here is Xbox has been mismanaged a bit too much and Nadella came down from his throne. The way it is now, I don't believe for a minute the multiplatform move was Spencer's idea. I don't even think the acquisitions was Spencer's work. At this point, I reckon he's got as much power in his role as Hunter Biden at a Ukrainian energy company.

DivineHand125625d ago

You can never tell how things will turn out if he had said yes to those games. Xbox already has access to some great IPs, however, they hardly do anything with them or fail to deliver. It's also possible their presentation wasn't good at the time, and they made sure the next presentation was better.

I believe that part of being successful is releasing things in the right place at the right time.

Many major corporations have a story similar to passing on successful business ideas. Let us look at Sony Pictures for example. Back when Marvel went bankrupt, they had the opportunity to buy the entire Marvel for only $25 Million but turned them down. An unnamed big shot at Sony reportedly claimed that “nobody gives a shit about any of the other Marvel characters,”. They ended up taking Spiderman for $10 Million instead.

https://www.avclub.com/sony...

Fast forward to today, we can see what the Marvel brand has done for Disney. Is it possible the same success would have been possible had Sony acquired those IPs. We can't say that for sure and it is possible most of those IPs that are successful today may not have been used.
