got an email to remind me, so i'm giving yall a friendly reminder too:

jump on from 2-6 pm (pacific) today to get access to the moon, a permanent thing we keep (which is just a fancy nameplate), and whatever else they plan on doing....

Game is a lot of fun brehs, but its not halo.

The shooting mechanics are great, and I really like the weapons/armor/abilities

But I keep wanting it to be my next gen halo, and its just not that. I guess that's fine, maybe my expectations are ruining it for me but I'm not really into CO-OP and they threw a lot of stuff in the bushes that I thought made halo special in order to do the MMO stuff.

The story missions feel disjointed and uninteresting. They aren't the large scale sandboxes like halo, they all are just:
Land in an empty field
Shoot a couple dudes
Walk/ride to the objective
Pull out your ghost
Watch a countdown till the mission ends


The PVP is fun but with the real halo coming out soon I just don't see myself giving it much burn.

Probably still gone to buy, but the original excitement/enjoyment I had is sorta fading away.

question: why do you try to simplify games in a not true way like this to justify not liking them?....cause how you described it is not how my experience has gone so far....

not trying to get you to change your mind, you play games for you, just curious cause I've seen you do this before and I've thought 'what?!?!' when reading your describe of a game's play....

That's been my experience, and I never said I didn't like the game.

Are you saying the story mode in this beta is anywhere comparable to the more focused and cohesive missions of a game like halo?

It's seems to me you'll defend any criticism to any game you like. I never said it was a bad game or that people shouldn't enjoy it. I said my expectations are different from what the devs were shooting for.


I've been one of the main ones talking about and anticipating this game. Just giving my impressions as I play

Speak for yourself. The beta's co-op experience has been way funner than any Halo SP I've played thus far. Only Halo game that remotely had a interesting campaign story wise was Halo 4. Halo 1 was just shoot and throw grenades at nikkas with some background music.

I damn near fell asleep playing Reach. Fighting the Devil Walker in Destiny's strike mission was just as fun as fighting the big scarab in Halo 3.
I agree with the missions so far feeling simple but this is a beta so we don't know how much is in the final game.



Destiny>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Halo's CO-OP.

edit:

Destiny>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Halo(for now).

Destiny is just a bigger game. Halo shooting feel with a RPG built around it. It's not Halo, they never said it is Halo. Wanting it to be Halo is irrational. That's like me saying "I think Gears is fun but it isn't Uncharted."

I think it's hard to compare a beta to full games, so i'm not gonna do that...i'll wait....but like you said: i do think you're ruining the game for yourself wanting it to be something else...

i do defend things i like, but in this case i'm not defending it, just asked a question cause your description hadn't been my experience so far....

i know you have, that's why i asked the question about your description...i'm just shooting the shyt, preciate the response....
