Destiny 2 Early Beta : Hands-on Impression

Your legend is being forged in fire, Guardian.

Is this Destiny 1.5? Is this Destiny 2.0? It doesn’t matter. It is more Destiny and it is improved Destiny in every facet that it could be. Yes, we are going to have the game piecemeal’d to us and there is no escaping that, but I am now excited for each taste.

hm, still unconvinced, Activision is really hard to trust

DaDrunkenJester3262d ago

And while this beta gives some hope for a better narrative driven deeper game... it's hard to tell if this was a truthful look into it or this quality was just for the beta and the rest is going to be bland...

lptmg3261d ago

*Dinklebot echoes through the air*

MLGecko3262d ago

Depends on why you don't trust, IMHO. You don't trust because they will break this up, I think that was a necessary evil in Activisions eyes when they realized how they could market it. With 2 being built for that, I think Bungie will be much more prepared. But yeah... you are still going to get this story over two years.

lptmg3261d ago

that's a game in which, sadly, I think it's best to wait for a while and get the "collection" with all expansions and DLC...the first one was a horrendous ripoff in terms of pricing

DaDrunkenJester3261d ago

@lptmg

The only problem with that is that you miss the fun of exploring everything and figuring stuff out with the community.

MLGecko3262d ago

Played on PS4 and it really was like meeting up with an old lover. Familiar, new, multi player

DaDrunkenJester3262d ago

Indeed. I would like to see the super abilities come up more in PvE, but that's all stuff they can tweak after beta

MLGecko3262d ago

I noticed that too... some matches, I would go the entire game and not get them to activate. One has to wonder how much is tweaked just for more fair beta play.

MLGecko3262d ago

And the open beta starts Friday, I believe. Going to be lit

MLGecko3261d ago

Jester... you see any difference with the Xbox beta? What did you play that on, an S?

DaDrunkenJester3261d ago

No S, just standard X1. The ps4 does look better because it is native 1080p, which means the Xbox one version looks a little softer from a distance. It's not super noticeable though. As far as the graphics, lighting, textures and frame rate it all looks the same.

Honestly Thank Goodness!! Yet another good sign of a possibility of returning to what made them great and undoing Jim Tyans trend chasing love service gamble. Still gotta wait and see just what direction they're going but this is a good sign in my book that they're not betting it all on live service anymore

S2Killinit138d ago (Edited 138d ago )

Not sure what you lot are talking about anymore. They need to cover all range of games. Im primarily a single player gamer, but even I cannot be daft enough to ignore the fact that we need all manner of games including live service games. Everyone here seems to be a market expert.

isarai_lee138d ago (Edited 138d ago )

Yes "all manner" not just exclusively live service like Jim was doing, but you also shouldn't be forcing devs to make games they not only have no experience making, but also flatout dont want to do.

S2Killinit138d ago

Assuming that anything like that is actually the case and not just a perception of n4g commenters of course.

I don't understand why you people have to keep making up lies. You can say you don't like some or most of their focus being on live service games, but to say they were exclusively focusing on live service games is pure copium. At most half of their games were live service and the rest were single player games. Seriously why lie about something so obvious?

isarai_lee138d ago

@Redemption-64

You say that as if we don't have word directly from Jim Ryan and PlayStation stating they wanted at least 12 live service games released within a year. Followed by tons of official word of those Live Service games being cancelled after he was pushed out. All studios combined at the time PS had 15 studios, 12 is a hell of a lot more than half of 15, and it was definitely their primary focus evident by the fact that a huge portion of their studios have taken uncharacteristically long to release or announce anything since, hell some studios have yet to release anything this gen almost 6 YEARS LATER! The only one making stuff up is you.

It may take a while but maybe they are finally learning. Good! Now stop with the live service crap.

ABizzel1139d ago

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a live service here or there, but to have many of your studios start focusing on it when there has been little to no experience among them was wild.

Christopher139d ago (Edited 139d ago )

They say this and then immediately release news of the Horizons co-op game that will definitely be a Live Service game.

isarai_lee138d ago

I feel like they knew that given the fact that the very furst thing they say in the trailer is to reassure they still make so games 😆

Bet they're regrettings spending those billions pretty hard right now.

S2Killinit138d ago

Destiny has been a huge success.

Redemption-64138d ago

They will not. Destiny has been popular for over 10 years, something most games can never hope to achieve. Most people, including myself those Bungie was going to make a D3 after the final shape DLC. Marathon looks to be a hit and a D3 announcement could break records.
