The Official "ADD FOR DESTINY" thread

[Coreldan]

I never got into Borderlands, even if I did like Destiny. I had quite low expecatations for Destiny originally cos I figured it's just gonna be Borderlands with better graphics, but it didn't quite feel like that after all.

I never owned a 360, but playing one at my friends makes me feel "damn I wish 1) we were at my place playing the One instead 2) I had enough controllers to play with friends on my One 3) there were games that actually had local co-op on the One

Local co-op is a HUGE thing for me, and now it sucks as me and my Fiance barely get to enjoy games together. We're thinking of investing in a second Xbox One just for that rare occasion now. :|

For everyone interested, the achievements have been leaked! A few of them require you to be in a CLAN via the Bungie website. You just register with your Microsoft ID that your account is linked to and your Guardian will be linked in. I started a clan with Sam a while back during the BETA, if you wanna join you can. Ima try and get all of Mobile Nations in on this just so we can have some relevant numbers. Link is directly below!
MOBILE NATIONS ONLINE

I have a 3 (plus my fiancee to make the clan official cos it requires 4 ) man clan with some RL friends, so I'm set

Still deciding whether to get it for my PS4 or Xbox One. Exclusive content or better controller (I prefer the X1's controller)? Hmm...

 

[Coreldan]

Xbox One, cos Flagz is a Destinywizard!

That is true, but that isn't a deciding factor for me, lol. Unless Flagz really is a WIZARD! :O

I suppose it depends on which platform your more social with. Destiny seems to hinge on the social aspect of gaming. Especially with the knowledge that some of the high raids require you to partner up.

Where are you more active with friends/potential friends - PSN or XBL? That to me would be the deciding factor. Who cares about an extra mission or so...

More friends on XBL, a lot more. That exclusive content, just wish Bungie talked about that more, so I could decide.

I am a Wizard, from the moon actually. Also, I checked Gamescom announcement and nothing too ear catching to note in term of PS4 exclusives.

They just did, some PVP content and like one strike mission. The actual paid DLCs (the first one) will be "available to eveyone in december"

Was the only timed exclusive stuff for PS4 in Destiny just Crucible stuff? The streaming feed was glitching out on me during that time (doesn't that make people so excited to stream games on the PS4)

 

[Coreldan]

And one Strike-mission.

A lot of it does seem legit, but not enough to sway me from a platform of friends. If the past timed exclusives for any games shine any light on specs, these will all be low level based weapons that will be irrelevant within the first few hours of gameplay. The real powerful weapons are gonna be universal guaranteed, but that assault rifle almost had me at first glance =)

Why would you need new ships though? Isn't the only thing you doing going from one area to another?

It seems to be just a loading screen thing, really, but it's a loading screen thing that other players will see. So it's kind of a vanity/status token and if you have some really cool/rare/expensive ship, other people will see that and go like "zomg, this dude is a wizard, he came from the moon!"

So that, one mission, one map, and a few weapons that you said aren't really good? If that's true, that will be my decision maker.

Trying to look at it objectively, if I was in your situation I'd just ignore those "exclusives" cos they arn't good enough at all to base the platform pick on that. That one Strike I'd like on Xbox One, but I sppose it comes later and definitely not a deal breaker. If most of my friends were on Xbox like you seemed to have described, I wouldn't even consider getting Destiny for PS4 just for this meh exclusives.

What is this content though?

[Coreldan]

To my knowledge that is just the PVP content in general. One of those maps may be timed exclusive to PS4, but not the game modes to my understanding. As far as I understood most of that is just the basic game, but since Destiny was only talked about on Sony's show, it might come off as if it had something to actually do with PS4 specifically
