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.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      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.
