official Destiny

[Hedon]

So its your preferred version, not some generalization. Everyone gets to decide for themselves.

 

Indeed. Having played the Alpha on the PS4, the beta on the PS4 and the beta on the Xbox One, and now the final version on Xbox One this morning, I know I made the definitive choice. Glad to see all my friends got it for the Xbox One as well. I can't believe I am almost level 3 after just under an hour. The game is so addicting.

Awesome, some Neowin co-op!

I'm down too!

 

I played the opening this morning before I left for work. It seems identical to the Alpha/Beta. The ghosts are even in the same place lol. Though when I got to the tower, I didn't have all of the emblems in the special delivery box like I should have. I put in all of the codes that people found from the LE editions, and they're linked to my account, but I didn't get any of them. Kind of lame.

 

Now comes the longest day at work, ever.

 

edit: oh I see. I logged into Bungie.net and all of the codes that I entered the other day now say "Use Now" next to them...which is weird because they didn't say that the other day after they were added.

I have to be the only person on Earth who isn't interested in buying this game.

 

Maybe I'll cave and buy it, to play with my fellow Neowin'ites.

 

Or is it Neowin'ians?

[GotBored]

I think that because of my preference for the controller, the online service, the parity graphics, and of course....the DLC is only time exclusive, so really, it's the one to get.

 

Calling it the definitive version for Xbox One seems like troll-bait because Bungie themselves haven't released a definitive titled edition of Destiny and according to them its the PS4 version because of the exclusivity deal with Sony which doesn't expire until Fall 2015. PS4 has a full year of additional destiny content before the Xbox One gets it.

 

You also make mention that you played the Beta on the PS4 but bought the final version for the Xbox One? You needed to pre-order the game in order to play the beta... Doesn't make sense that you would somehow own both to play the beta's and then somehow only end up with one on the Xbox. It also doesn't make sense that you would pre-order the same game on both systems, it also doesnt make sense that you would choose the Xbox One version of the game over the PS4 if you owned both consoles because its not the same game. The PS4 version has more content and features and earlier access to DLC's. It literally has destiny content that won't be available on the Xbox One for another year..

 

If I only owned an Xbox One I would probably just buy it and not be too fussed about the missing content the PS4 has, but if I owned both I would definitely get it on the PS4.

 

edit: Looking further into this I checked the PSN account you have posted in your sig and it doesn't show Destiny in the trophies list, trophies were earn-able in the beta and even if you didn't earn any it shows every game you have played on that account and shows 0 progress/0 trophies. Yours doesn't have Destiny at all. Judging by the game play statistics it looks more like you created a PSN account to play on a friends PS4 rather than have your own but that's just what it looks like to me.

Nope. I was unimpressed by the Beta. My mate's got it so i'll give it another shot and decide whether it is worth picking up.

It's good not to be alone in the boat  :)  :laugh:

S4 has a full year of additional destiny content before the Xbox One gets it.

 

 

No, they have a year with slightly earlier releases before they're release don the One.  Also if his thread was troll bait(calling it troll bait is against the rules) it appears you got solidly hooked on the bait and hook. 

 

All versions of Destiny is the definitive edition. 

 

I was interested in the game after the beta, but after that I think it was mostly just a want to play something new, all games get boring everything gets boring when you're just wandering around the house all day :p  For now I'm saving my money and will probably buy it at some point,if that's soon or in a few months.... who knows. 

[dipsylalapo Supervisor]

I was impressed, but don't have time to play  :(

Right, PS4-Neowin, what classes are you all going? I'm the teamplayer who's willing to go whatever everyone else isn't to make co-op better for us. I know Andy is thinking Titan. Only class I would maybe suck balls at is the sniper one, I do better sniping on PC games. So I may go Warlock.

 

Copy hasn't been delivered yet, but it's courier to delivery up to 8pm *fingers crossed*

I am going to probably play the same class I did in the beta which was Warlock I believe. If not Titan. I will for sure not go with Hunter.

Truth is though it really does not matter a ton. I do not get a whole lot of opportunities to play these days so when I can join in will be sporadic and probably not for any extended amount of time.

Hunter here. I had a really tough time deciding. My brother is going Titan, but as to whether he'll be a bubble shield or not, I don't know.

 

PM if you guys want to join up. I'd rather not broadcast my live/psn name to the interwebs.

[+Audioboxer Subscriber²]

My copy didn't arrive today :( To be fair Very did say 2 days delivery time but I was hopeful.

 

I'll join you guys tomorrow, hope servers are holding up well.

Here is a screen capture (sorry its from the website as the PS3 does not support Screen captures) of my character lvl 12 Warlock Human

 

*Looks like the Neowin uploader is broken

 

Also you can view the character online here.

How are you enjoying warlock? It's the class I'm thinking of going.

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

You can have multiple characters, I've got an Exo Warlock currently but I'll eventually one one of each class/race going.

[spenser.d]

Eh. So I was all ready to play, but apparently even though I started installing it two nights ago it stalled out and was only 45% complete. It's almost there now but I won't get to it tonight.

[techbeck]

Can you lock your game so no one can join These random people joining my game is annoying the hell out of me.

Or maybe I am not understanding things here. Just started playng.

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

I think this is the case but can someone confirm, you have to get through the whole first part before you can play with other people right? 

[Boxster17]

Yeah you'll need to get to the Tower before you can join up with a fireteam.

 

Have just about gotten to level 10 with my Titan and really having a blast. Did most of that with 3 friends and then will be playing more with at least 1 of them tonight.  All caught up on the Beta story so it's new stuff from here on out so I'm looking forward to it.

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

Thanks that is what I thought. I stopped right when I got there in the Beta so never got a chance to check out it out with others online.

I'm definitely running warlock. I loved it during the beta. I wasn't too interested in being the tank as a Titan and the Warlock class just offers a very fun mix of abilities and gun play. I really feel like it makes for a strong support class that can offer strong aoe damage to crowds of enemies while your team mates do their thing.

If you like that kind of mix in a class, you should enjoy Warlock.

I had preordered a destiny bundle ps4 but bought the digital guardian edition on my Xbox one instead. Haven't decided if I should pick up the ps4 or just get my money back

Go to options, switch to the roster menu, click on the people icon next to "fireteam", and set your team to "closed"or "invite only ". That will prevent anyone from joining your team.

Always see this on delayed online orders, is it cheaper online or are you to rural? Cheapest locations in Australia are just stores for $69 to walk in and pick up a copy.

 

Nothing worse then waiting for a package  :pinch:

[Skiver Veteran]

I finally just ordered my copy, I stuck to my guns and refused to pay anywhere near what some pre-order sites were asking for. Cheapest I ever saw it at a point I could order it (I did see missed deals) was ?42, a day after release Amazon and Tesco Direct have it listed for ?40 and I found a code to take it down to ?35 at Tesco.

 

Patience FTW!
