Destiny "Beta" impressions!

[Bingo]

It's a shame they're not allowing PS3 players to play with PS4 players, particularly considering they're crippling Destiny by locking it at 30fps so it's not a 'different experience' from the PS3 version. PSN vs PC players in a FPS would be a nightmare, though... mouse keyboard PC players would wipe the floor with controller players. Not that they're better gamers, it's just a much much more precise way of playing.

From reading various impressions--both here and elsewhere--it seems pretty clear that from what everyone has seen in the beta, the game lacks its own identity.

Although to a point that is true, ( although perosnally i think it has it's own indentity, cross between, Halo, Mass effect and a touch of Cod ) remember these judgements are being made on the pure first bits of the game in the BETA. Who knows what they haven't shown us for the rest of the game. The point of the Beta is to test the mechanics of the game that they work, ( which it did with flying colours IMO ) and to give you a small taste of the rest of the game, not a complete version of it.

Just remember folks this is a BETA nothing more. They are not going to give us stupendous stuff in the BETA for free, just the bare bones taste to test it for them.

Its because they'll run at slightly different frame rates and people on PS3 would complain people on PS4 are killing them quicker.

Then they shouldn't cripple the PS4 version. Can't have it both ways. Or rather, they can, but they shouldn't.

I really like the single player/story mode. It seems like a really good story for a game.

The controls are good, but the auto aim/aim assist is a pain. There are always multiple enemies grouped together, and the auto aim seems to pull me all over the place. another thing I don't like it the fact that you can spins faster when ADSing than when walking. Being a COD player, that really throws me off.

I am not a fan of PvP or multiplayer. I don't like that you build your armor and weapons in single player and bring it over. They should be separate IMO.

Not a starve to have but definitely worth the early buy. Well that depends on the level cap. highest i saw in beta was 20. thats a horrible cap so i hope its higher

 

[Ciel]

You were able to get to level 20 in the beta? O____O

Also that was only the first area of the game we saw, I'm sure the cap will be 50.

lolol NO NO NO i meant cap on guns and monster! they only went up to 20. and ehh im hoping for at least 70... ill level up to quick for a low cap lol
