I heard this rumor too and like you my time is very limited. I hate being an adult. That aside, I got to put a good solid 2 hours in and risked sleep this morning but it was well worth it. I miss Destiny since the minute I played the Alpha. Good news is Im getting Last of Us Remastered and hopefully that and Infamous (yup still playing it not done yet) will keep me busy till september.

Tell me about it. It really sucks getting older and having gaming as a hobby.

This past week I totalled 4 hours for the entire week, 3 of those were last night because I stayed up until 2:30.

I've decided I am just going to wait until the retail version. I played it for about 45 minutes on Friday, really, really liked it, but do not want to take the risk of having to do everything all over again. I am fine with this. Got to check it out, seems to have lived up to the Hype and then some, so I am cool with waiting.

 

I actually still have 2 PS4's codes and I actually got 1 PS3 code now too. Sony sent some email about being part of Playstation Nation, not sure if that is an actual thing or just something made up for the email.  :laugh:

I hope the final game will have more content per planet.

The beta is fun, but other than the main story missions and the coop raid everything else feels a bit pointless. Shooting at stuff just because, that's only fun for a while even while doing those beacon side quests.

Its a beta...of course the full game will have more.

I know, I was just extrapolating from the current content density we have in the beta.

 

We'll get more planets, more story missions, more coop assault missions (or similar), events and raids... which is all good (great, actually) but I think it would be a shame if things like the free exploration mode remained as directionless as in the beta. If the beacon missions are all there'll be to "explore" then exploration is not all that enticing.

 

Add stuff that makes me want to spend a lot of time exploring (better yet if it's something somewhat random and not only collectibles you only have to find once, like the ghosts and the gold chests) and I'll be (even more) happy.

I love the music in this game. Very Star Trek Enterprise like.

Only thing I haven't figured out yet is if this is a shared world MMO type game how do you team up with other people? So far I've just been going through on my own and haven't even really seen any other people ? When you find people how to you Interact/talk? Certain bits seem nigh on impossible without a team

Been playing the beta on PS3 for a few days now. I really enjoy some aspects of the game's design especially how the environment blends with the menu system as you navigate through the map, reminds me of what made the original Mass Effect so great. While the controls are spot on I can't help but feel that I suck at the game just like every FPS I've played. If Destiny did come to the PC, I would like to try out KB/M.

 

I like the announcer in MP, he seems enthusiastic in a subtle serene way and it's a nice change from Halo.

The announcer sounds like Loki narrating a Deathmatch :D 

 

Also it's weird. The entire UI feels built for a mouse.

Hah he really does!

 

I do hope bungie has plans for a PC release in the future. I'm also surprised Nintendo isn't going after Activision to help bring this to the Wii U, they have a healthy relationship.

I must be blind but is MP accessible in the Beta? In the alpha I played MP but for the life of me can't figure it out in the Beta. I thought they might have taken it out to have people focus on the single player. Since this was my reasoning it got me to play the story quite a bit. The minute I discovered MP on the Alpha thats all I played, granted I played the alpha for 2 days because I was busy.

Sad part is I'm not even "old" yet. Age has nothing to do with it but like you, I'm finding myself being done with normal activities roughly 8-10pm. Then feeling like sitting back and relaxing but as soon as you do, gaming just happens to be far away from your mind at that point. Once your ready, its 12/1am and its like GAHH.

I just moved and bought a whole set of lazy boy furniture to make the "slumming" days the best while gaming and haven't spent more then 8 hours total in my chair / loveseat/recliner or on my ps4. I HATE BEING A GROWN UP. Im also in IT which sucks most of my day.

 

I hope things get better for us come around launch day because I'm taking a week off if they don't. Hope you can do the same. Whats your PSN ID? Going to add you so I have more people to play with

Multiplayer is locked until you complete the first couple of story missions I believe.

I believe level 5 and above is required for the crucible multiplayer.

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.

      CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
