Cormyr and the Dalelands

Anyone on ps4 Destiny right now?

I bought an xbone  

My only console is a Wii that I bought for the kids and to play Zelda  

I'll have to wait and see if they release a PC version. Currently not one officially in production. I did talk my coworker into buying the game for her hubby though so he owes me one.

They've expressed interest, we'll probably have it sometime next year.

My roommate's friend got him the PS3 version, so I'll be dicking around with that.

I've only played a little while waiting on my brother, bit it's been really fun and a new experience to play a traditional-like mmo on a console. I was really surprised going to one of the main cities and seeing other players running around. I forgot it wasn't a single player campaign for a second.

It's also on xbone.

Destiny is fun, but I think a bit overhyped for what it is.  It won't cure cancer, it's just a fun coop shooter.  (I have issues calling it an MMO when you can barely communicate or interact with other players.)

I think the idea is that you play primarily with friends.

And if you don't have any of those, then you're SOL.

I think it's a step in the right direction at least.

Yeah, but I don't think the servers for ps4 and xbone are connected, so I couldn't play with RM if he was looking for people to play with on ps4.

None of the servers are connected. Not even PS4/PS3 or Xbone/360. Processing power and all that, or some shit.

'cause, you know, it's not like people play PC games together on drastically different rigs.

The processing power thing for PS3/PS4 and 360/XBone is actually accurate the way Bungie explained it:  The current generation consoles have better draw distance and resolution, so snipers could see people from farther away.  It would be an unfair advantage.

As for Sony and Microsoft consoles not playing with each other, blame Sony and Microsoft for that one. 

...was just asking.

I picked it up on my 360, having not really payed much attention to it aside from a video here or there, so no hype.  I love it. Been lots of fun and I've picked up a few 'friends' to play with via reddit.   Definitely worth the $20 I spent after trading in the pile of stuff I was not playing.

I'm really enjoying the pvp right now despite the weapon diversity. Auto rifles are just too strong right now, but I feel as people start learning the maps and rotations more, sniper rifles and semi automatics or even pulse rifles may start to happen.

My experience has just been an auto rifle aim contest right now. It was fun taking a few first place finishes at level 5-7 my first attempt though.

And soloing the campaign has been surprisingly difficult which is refreshing.

People spamming full automatics while running at each other and meleeing, ending in both of their unfortunate deaths?

Sounds exactly like Halo PvP. Playing a Titan with a Shotgun, I can confirm this.

Also mandropping with Fists of Havoc is really fun.

If the PS version is anything like the XBOX you can mix PS3 and PS4 players. I bought it digitally for the 360 and it gave me a X box one copy as well and my character roster is on both versions.

I'm also waiting until this game hits PC, it looks promising though.

You can't play with one another through xbone/360 ps3/ps4. You keep your roster, but you can't party up with people on a newer or older gen system. I've tried. =(

Yeah, what Red Mage said. Since your characters are bound to your Gamertag/PSN, you can play on either server, but there is not cross-server play.

On my own personal view of the game.

I really enjoyed the main game. Unfortunately it was too short. To me it feels like a solid entry into a planned movie trilogy where a great set up is given. The whole concept of "The game really begins" once you finish it has always been a cop out in my mind. Right now I would call it a 7.75 out of 10 (which will probably rise once the game gets some planned expansions)

Well, all of the Halo games were roughly 10 hours long (same developer) so the length makes sense. I hit level 20 in about 11, which could have been faster more than likely (my guess is someone only focused on XP is probably about 6-8 hours to hit 20).

I wish there were more zones on each planet. One zone doesn't seem like enough, and it makes the content pool feel smaller than it actually is (which is already small).

I wish there was an actual map. Nav mode is great for going between objectives while continuing to move, but for people who haven't memorized everything, it's hard to get a point of reference for where you are compared to everything else. Sure, there's recognizable landmarks and if I see them I generally know where I am, but a lot of the maps have tunnels/doorways to get between different sections of them and it's not always easy to tell how to get somewhere.

While some things with the game have been executed well, others haven't. The advancement/FPSRPG stuff is nice class-wise, but weapon-wise there doesn't seem to be any scaling at all. If you go into a lower-level mission or area, you're down-scaled so you don't straight up one-shot things, even though your weapon has 4x the damage, which can be great for playing with friends... but if you fight things your level, you're doing basically the same damage. HP doesn't change (except for maybe in higher difficulties), just mob density and armor. HP seems to be incredibly consistent for pretty much everything, since player HP never changes. It just seems silly that I'm doing marginally more damage at level 20 than I was at level 5 to much higher leveled monsters...their armor is just % reducing it. Since they went with this model, I'd rather they just didn't show damage numbers, because it leaves me unsatisfied. Does it really matter? No, but seeing huge numbers on mobs with huge HP pools shows you that something has actually changed--both you and the things you're fighting have gotten stronger. The way it's implemented now makes it feel like nothing has really changed but you got some new abilities.

And Weasel, keep in mind that it is balanced like an MMO so the endgame sort of is the game. You don't play for story, you play it for gear. I'm also typically not a fan of this style, but a few games do it very well. Typically things where there's lots of smashing (Diablo 3, Neverwinter, ME3 Multiplayer).

You essentially just gain more utility and options when you level instead of initiating a potential power creep problem out the gate. I'm optimistic that with patches and expansions, the world building of this game has near limitless potential for content.

I also don't like that there isn't a map, especially in pvp.

A bit harsh by my view but he says what needs to be said.

I have died more than once to a Titan falling from the sky from nowhere to fist me into the ground.

That said. Hand cannons, all day erry day.

The hit box for head shots for sniper rifles had me ragey for a good minute.

Death from Above is pretty darn great.

FALCON DIVE MANDROP GO

I might be level 26.
