Unfinished: Destiny 06/06/2014

Since they are playing all the big cross platform stuff on PS4, I guess I know I fucked up.

I really want to play this game.

"Oh no. It's the Hive." ( -___- )
RIP Peter Dinklage's voice-acting career.

So having now watched this, I'm pretty happy. Looks like it plays exactly the way I was hoping, and I really like the way it's being put together in terms of UI and structure. I really, really hope my PSN ID gets selected for the Alpha access this weekend. Super excited about this game.

The way he's pronouncing things makes it sound as if they forgot to put distortion onto his voice. I think the way it is now sounds like garbage, but if they modulated it to sound like an actually robot then it could work.

This example from Portal is a pretty good comparison.

Why does Peter Dinklage sound so incredibly awful in this? Put in some effort, man.

oh man im fucking excited for this game now, I actually know what it is.

this looks bonkers cool

Need to see more if but this looks like Halo. The animation, the effects, the running. It looks a lot like Halo reskinned.

I am SO ready for this.

I love everything about it.

This is what I wanted borderlands to be, a cool pseudo-mmo shooter with lots of different loot, cool spaceships and junk, cool-looking characters, interesting world and art direction...

Basically Halo + Borderlands + Diablo.

Damn. I'm glad I don't own a PS4 yet, I am 100% buying the white PS4 bundle.

I really don't know... Half of this alpha look are great looking spacey load screens but that's that... It's atmospheric but after 20hrs playing the game who really will enjoy yet again watching their ship flying above a planet waiting for the load to head down to the game level.

After that it seems like very linear game levels. It's alpha so it's really hard to judge the scope and breath of the future game from this, but I can't help but feel it's a lot of gimmicks that surround what is otherwise pretty plain (but beautiful) linear game levels and standard FPS experience...

Add some cel-shaded graphics, a billion guns, baby you got a Borderlands going!

It's funny how fast they start dismissing all of the facts about the game that have been talked about a few times in released media for it months ago (year ago even), like the voice cast including mr. dinklage. It's only weird feeling since I happened to know cause I watched that stuff, I can totally understand not remembering or seeing that stuff cause they are busy or whatever. Just one of those unfortunate things that can make watching someone do something kinda cringe when they do it not like you, like being in the passenger seat when someone doesn't brake when you think they should and stuff like that.

Wasn't sure about this game until this video. I think I'm all in now, this looks really great even for the so called "alpha" stage.

This thing seems like a high budget Warframe. Really similar in feel. Kinda boggling.

@djjoejoe: Who cares if they didn't recognize Dinklage?

Anyways, looks cool.

Those bullet sponges, jesus...

I was thinking that the whole time. He bought a new gun and never equipped it.

Well, this game looks expensive to make. I don't think it looks exceptionally groundbreaking though. It's literally Borderlands gameplay with some MMO stuff peppered in from what I can tell.. I wonder if the 500 million dollar gamble will pay off.

Jeff did pick the worlds worst assault rifle at the end there, the semi-auto was cooler.

This looks to be a bit of a bore, to be honest.

I didn't think it was bad, minus the part where Jeff was level 4 fighting levels ~8.

"That's my little dude"

Wow, poor choice of words considering who voices that drone.

Anyone else wish this game didn't have ADS. I feel like ADS really works with quick games like COD, but for slower paced games that require a lot of shooting to take down enemies, from the hip is much better imo.

Everything about this is generic, monotonous and uninteresting. I understand why Dinklage sounds so bored...

Lieutenant Daniels wants you to get a mission.

Still looks like a really flatly-colored Borderlands to me. I was hoping we'd see more to differentiate it a bit.

Bungie: environment, music, and tone

I'm hearing a lot of middling previews of this game. I guess it just doesn't matter all that much to me. This is a day one purchase.

EDIT: After watching most of this, I think the game is lacking character. I'm seeing some challenging AI as well from the higher level enemies which is reassuring.

I'm still interested in this, but not everything is clicking with me immediately. Definitely more interested in how they're seemingly picking and choosing elements from the mmo genre and leaving much of it behind. The less crappy hold-overs from mmo design the better.

@swd: Oh Brad, never change.

Only 20mins into watching, but Jeff never jumps around or uses the environments expect to hide behind. Hate to be a back seat driver but the way he's playing it makes it seem less exciting. Maybe he changes it up later, I'll keep watching

When he fights the level 8 guy later on the exploration mission (48ish minutes), the AI looks a lot better. I don't know if that's intentional that higher level enemies have better AI or what, but the guy was running away from Jeff, not letting him shotgun him right in the face, ducking and weaving etc. Reminded me of trying to 1 on 1 a really powerful Elite in Halo. Looked pretty promising.

Warpaint never changes.

This looks pretty damn good to me. I'm always up for Borderlands getting a bit more MMO'ey.

That voice acting on the robot is terribly uninteresting though. I feel like it needs some kind of treatment on it, like a subtle autotune or something. As it is, it just sounds like a terribly bored guy telling you about moon wizards. Shame.

looks great

Yeah I saw that too. The Co-Op missions seems to be more what I would want, but I still can't wrap my head around why everything is zoned off into its own little thing. Even with the explanation Jeff gives, I can't help but roll my eyes at it somewhat. I'm not a huge MMO fan, so I guess it would make sense why I wouldn't like that stuff.

I just hope the story and the multiplayer look more promising. And it eventually comes to PC.

Pretty sure in the future robots won't sound like that.

I played the Alpha about 6 to 7 weeks ago. Was pretty great in my opinion.

Also, must Brad always be wrong? Yes, that is officially Peter Dinklage as Ghost.

Super surprised at how bad it sounds. At first I thought it was placeholder VO.

Man this game is beautiful yayyyy

They should though. That's what robots sound like.

As I expected, the enemies are way too bullet-spongy, Borderlands all over again. Uh...

I'm a wizard and I came from the moon.

That shotgun has like a 45-degree recoil

Borderlands with less variety... is what I'm getting from this.

Is there going to be any kind of direct control over your ship or even ship combat? cause if there isn't i'm gonna be pretty disappointed with this game.

No mans sky ho!!!!!!!!

"Its your destiny to play No Mans Sky"

They can have that one for free.

Brad is killing with the Jojo references lately!

They actually picked up loot a couple times, you can see it on the right-side of the screen where the XP and Glimmer messages. It dropped from enemies. From what I've read, there is a ton of loot (armor, guns, materials, etc) but it's not randomized.

So a less crazy Borderlands with armor customisation, plus a hub, pvp and a more seamless online with strangers; plus a different art style; minus a billion guns.

Ok i'm down.

(not a fan of the shop menus taking you out of the world)

Not down for paying for online tho, period, but i still got that free time with the ps4 purchase theoretically, so i'll either use that or wait for the PC version. Also depending on how much SP content there is.
