quick hits:
- for those of yall struggling with the d/l on psn: pause, then unpause it....keep doing that till you see it d/ling at a nice clip, then let it ride....it'll d/l rather quickly....that's what i did and others have done it....
- loving how everything is pretty much a quest now....
- bounties, upgrading, getting rep, etc. has been made even easier....hell, everything in the game has been made to appeal to a mass audience.....
- also, bungie has touched up the graphics and sounds.....the game already looked/sounded good, but damn if bungie didnt take it to another level....ex to see the difference: just do a patrol on mars...as soon as you land, everything in the distance looks more detailed and clearer.....hell, just looking at the navigation screen, you can see the graphical improvement.....i see you bungie...
after running in the crucible for a bit:
- the game does feel like a new game....there is a lot more variety now...people are using a wide range of weapons, which is great....didnt run into a thorn at all and barely ran into a last word....
- blink/shotty can be countered a lot better...
- digging the new lord shaxx sayings and medals....
- not really feeling the new maps though....maybe it's cause they new and i dont know them yet, but it felt like there was too much going on to try to make them seem bigger, like all the 2 feet hallways....you spend more time trying to figure out how to get around than you do engaging the enemy...they gonna have to rework them later....
- also, not feeling the placement of the zone info in control..the thing that lets you know what zones are captured and by whom....they shouldve put it at the bottom right above the scores....where it's at now, it can sometime block the location of the zone tag or you can confuse it for the zone tag.....
...so overall: i'm highly pleased with the update...bungie did the damn thing and destiny gonna be fun as shyt to continue to play....
side note: also like how they hinted at us going to other solar systems....if you wondering what i'm talking about, just look at your navigation screen....how it now says what solar system you in and how it's expanded to make it look like we'll be jumping from place to place.....ah ha bungie, i see you.....
