I'm still not 100% sold on this, I love the idea of the gameplay behind it but in videos so far it just doesn't look all that good.

 

I'm not too sure about it either but it looks like it could be worth a shot, People who pre-order on PS4 and PS3 get to start playing from July so I'm sure it will have plenty of youtube clips of gameplay of it then and that'd give a better indication of what the game is like before its official release date in September.

I honestly would get this game to play with people on Neowin.  It wouldn't even bother me if my usual family and friends didn't bother with this game.

 

This seems like an absolutely boring game (at least from what was showed so far) to play alone.

Is there an official Destiny thread? Sorry, was lazy to check...and i think this now stands as the last of the "next gen"-associated games that hasn't been delayed...yet? I don't care if i just jinxed it, these delays are sapping much of the joy out of my so-called existence :cry:

Destiny seems really fascinating to me, however, one thing I cannot seem to figure out for the life of me is what type of game this is? at first I thought it was just another MMO and lost interest in it immediately (my preference is games with a strong singleplayer campaign, MMOs don't interest me). However, with all the hype and talk of "singleplayer" it's sparking my interest again. Is this a MMO? or something like Titanfall, as in it has a campaign of sorts but you play it online with people? or is it something more like say Borderlands? where it's better with friends but can play solo if you desire?

Destiny has went from a "must buy because it's Bungie" to "WTF is this game" for me. Their latest gameplay video didn't help build any hype either.

I hope they show it in a better way at E3. :/

So, just how MMO is this game suppose to be?  Is it still the case that select areas of maps will be for PvP and that the rest is for solo PvE and or drop in co-op etc?

 

I'm not a big fan of the whole MMO PvP fest to no end.

Anyone watch the Giantbomb alpha gameplay? I don't really understand why so many people on GAF were complaining that they, "didn't know what kind of game Destiny is supposed to be". After watching the GiantBomb video, it looks like it plays exactly how I imagined it to play after watchign the initial reveal last year and doing a little bit of reading up on the game. /boggle

 

Anyways, Destiny looks amazing. I can't wait to play it. I can see my brother and me playing this game for hours on end. I hope I get into the alpha to try it out. It would make an awesome birthday present! (Friday is my birthday!)

You'll have to post your thoughts once you've tried it out. Like with buying most games, I'm not becoming a little more sceptical. Hopefully I'll be able to try it out myself eventually and make my own mind up.

Latest Kotaku preview still paints the game as mediocre, but it seems their overall impressions of it have improved: http://kotaku.com/we-finally-got-to-play-a-big-chunk-of-destiny-1588723344

 

Giant Bomb paint it as a very good game. I trust Jeff and his buddies more that Kokatu.

Their preview of the game didn't look fun to me at all, though it looks extremely polished, which seems to be what Kotaku was saying. Still seems like it could go either way at this point.

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

      It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
