Destiny: A Guide to Chilling in The Tower

Destiny is a social game. It may focus heavily on shooting aliens, flying speeder bikes and uncovering the mysteries of humanity’s Golden Age, but it’s built to be played with friends and random players. Bungie’s mythic sci-fi world is shared between everyone, with other Guardians showing up seamlessly and naturally during gameplay, just doing their own thing.

The Tower is Destiny‘s primary social hub. Located within humanity’s Last City, it is a place where intrepid Guardians gather between missions to advance the story and buy new gear. But the Tower is also a reprieve from the game’s intense action, and you’d be surprised by how much unexpected fun there is to be had there. Here is a list of little activities you can take part in before heading off on your next mission or entering the Crucible.

Already got limited edition pre-ordered. Destiny is a great game but is it really social? I wan't to see some general chat instead of being forced to invite people to group just to ask if they wanna team up for something. Fable 2-3 had it right. As long as you stand next to other people you can hear them talk, and you can talk back. Don't like the noise? quit general chat. This would make hub town way more alive. Now we just have a bunch of dancing people everywhere.

Yeah hope there is proximity chat! Also hope we can write in local chat!

Could possibly use the DS4 TouchPa as something of a menu! But as usual, developers will probably neglect it D:

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.

Microsoft needs to listen or risk irreparable harm to Call of Duty

Windows Central: "The money may keep rolling in, but Microsoft is the custodian of one of the biggest selling video game series in history. If something doesn't change, I fear we'll reach a breaking point and irreparable damage will have been done."

Because ms is so good at managing studios, surely they will get it right

:P

In my view, they should probably merge MP with Warzone and essentially make it free to play like Halo Infinite. The campaign/zombies mode can be $30 yearly DLC. I know this would be insanity as most COD players essentially pay the full price of the game simply for the MP. However-with a shrinking player base they may have to consider it. Making it free would bring in a ton of players.

Profchaos51d ago

To late MW3 should have been a lesson but here we are two years later with a steaming pile a shite called blops7

Nothing lasts forever, eventually something will come along to make people forget about COD

Halo killer once arrived and technically call of duty killer also arrived, its name is Fortnite

dveio51d ago

Call of Duty was riding the revenue horse and charts for ~20 years. Whether undeserved or deserved.

But I endorse everyone to remind you that Microsoft could have decided differently when they took it over.

The money was certainly there, and they could have taken their time revamping the franchise:

Current-gen tech, manageable microtransactions, not imitating Fortnite and returning to core values of the franchise's origin.

They didn't.

Let's see next year. Hopefully without the then 13 years old PS4 and One hardware.

blacktiger51d ago

you need to stop saying "let see next year"
