I am stupidly excited for Destiny, you guys. You have no idea. I haven't been this excited for an FPS EVER.
Ken
Urrrrrrgh, I wish I had a PS4...
Ken
It's all I can do to not just take my best buy credit card and do stupid things with it
Guardian Bear J
I wish you did too. Fortunately, from everything I've seen, Destiny will have a long lifespan.
Guardian Bear J
I was actually UPSET that I couldn't keep playing the Beta, and that only had six missions in a small fraction of the first part of the game.
Guardian Bear J
What does that tell you?
Ken
You know me, I'm a big bungie fan as it is. Add this other stuff onto it and URRRRGH
Guardian Bear J
Regardless. When you get your game, I will be right there to say "DO ALL THIS AWESOME STUFF!"
Ken
Reach was SUCH A LONG TIME AGO, man. I like what 343 is doing with Halo but Bungie
Guardian Bear J
My only regret is that save data is system exclusive, otherwise I'd tell you to get it for PS3...
WhatDidYouSei?
v_v the midnight release is going to be a nightmare.
Guardian Bear J
... You're working the midnight release? You poor, poor soul.
Guardian Bear J
I will pray for your well-being.
WhatDidYouSei?
If they need the extra help, yep, sure am. And I'm already going in at 10am anyways. I'll be there from 10am-6:30pm, but if they call for more hands....welp.
Guardian Bear J
I think you should go to the doctor.
Guardian Bear J
I think you're coming down with something on Monday.
skelefriend
...You poor, poor soul.
WhatDidYouSei?
But you're right about the lifespan of the game. They're taking the MMO route. They won't be releasing multiple games, they're gonna release expansions.
WhatDidYouSei?
You can already preorder the first two.
Guardian Bear J
Yeah, to say nothing of the fact that they're doing a TRILOGY.
Guardian Bear J
At least, I think that's what I read...
Guardian Bear J
There's expansions, but I think I also read that Destiny is going to be a trilogy.
WhatDidYouSei?
Its gonna be pretty intense. I wish I cared enough about FPS games or sci-fi to be really hype about it. And here I am getting the Destiny PS4 >_>
Guardian Bear J
Even if you're not a fan of FPS games, you STILL might like it.
WhatDidYouSei?
I dunno about the extra games, but all the staff are talking about the minimum ten year lifespan projected for the title.
Guardian Bear J
I'm not much of an FPS gamer, but I actually like this one enough to by hyped for it to this degree.
WhatDidYouSei?
I like the premise more than anything else. I'll be getting the game with the console if its available, either way.
Guardian Bear J
If you do, I shall be sure to do stuff with you.
Guardian Bear J
I imagine you'd be a great Warlock.
WhatDidYouSei?
>:3
WhatDidYouSei?
Makes me miss playing SWTOR though >.<
Guardian Bear J
Totally making my main a hunter.
Guardian Bear J
Now we just need a Titan to round out the group. /stares at Ken expectantly.
WhatDidYouSei?
It'll be the first time in a LONG time that I've played online with someone v_v
Guardian Bear J
XD If it helps, I don't get militant with people. ... I powergame and min-max the SHIT out of myself, but I know I'm an oddity. XD
Guardian Bear J
And if I'm being nosy, you can tell me to back off. I just... really wanna play this game with friends. It's AMAZING with a good fireteam.
WhatDidYouSei?
Nosy? o_o Like how?
WhatDidYouSei?
You're cool. I can totally understand the enthusiasm.
Guardian Bear J
/snerks, nodnods.
Guardian Bear J
"HEY! PERSON I GAME WITH ON DREAMWIDTH, LET'S GO SAVE THE PLANET!"
WhatDidYouSei?
Uhhhh duhh, onlt way to properly social. Pff.
Guardian Bear J
This is how the epics of old start.
Guardian Bear J
"Hey, Odysseus, I know we just shared a few drinks and stories that one time, but you wanna go blind a cyclops?" "DO I?!"
WhatDidYouSei?
"Don't worry about your wife and kid, they'll be fine! What? Life insurance? ....No, but there's a pretty bitchin' cave with some goat-headed man-eater thing and an ugly-ass hole that swallows up the ocean."
WhatDidYouSei?
"You can't not want to see this shit, brah."
Guardian Bear J
"Think I'll get the chance to show off my arrow-through-the-axe-heads trick?"
WhatDidYouSei?
"Fair warning, we are probably bringing that enormous bag of dicks, Achilles, along for the trip."
Guardian Bear J
XD!
WhatDidYouSei?
/names Destiny character Achilles.
WhatDidYouSei?
"Oh great, its the enormous bag of dicks."
WhatDidYouSei?
"Hai gaiz! Lfg lol"
Guardian Bear J
Clearly, the Titan.
WhatDidYouSei?
/makes bad Achilles jokes.
WhatDidYouSei?
"GAIZ I NEED A HEELER."
Guardian Bear J
"SHIT! SHIT! I TAUNTED TOO MUCH!"
WhatDidYouSei?
"At least they'll build me a bitchin' monument."
WhatDidYouSei?
"I hope its a giant bag of dicks."
WhatDidYouSei?
"Colossus-sized."
skelefriend
XD
Guardian Bear J
Oh yes, this pleases the J.
WhatDidYouSei?
You woulda had fun playing with me in SWTOR. I was a bitchin' Sith Sorcerer and badass healer >:|
WhatDidYouSei?
And a mini-tank.
WhatDidYouSei?
And cute, ok.
WhatDidYouSei?
Always used to run with the same party. Spent my time in the background cackling maniacally and shielding everyone while shouting encouraging things over Vent like "FUCK HIS ASS UP, BRO!"
WhatDidYouSei?
>_> I might get a little power-jolly sometimes, when things are going well.
WhatDidYouSei?
And as a SS, things usually went well for me 8D
Guardian Bear J
XD!!
Guardian Bear J
I definitely think you'll like Warlocks. Between their hover flight and their big glowy ball of doom, they're amazing damage sources.
WhatDidYouSei?
I like blowing shit up. Sign me up.
Guardian Bear J
Hunters are sneaky shits the shoot and stab everything, Warlocks are the gunships, and Titans are the tanks. XD Then you get into the specialty classes for each, and it gets more.
Guardian Bear J
Warlocks get a dedicated healer/buffer and a dedicated "BLOW UP ALL THE THINGS."
Guardian Bear J
Hunters get a textbook rogue, and a sniper.
Guardian Bear J
And Titans get variations on "Punch the shit out of everything and laugh at all the bullets."
WhatDidYouSei?
If Warlock is anything like SS was I'm totally in.
WhatDidYouSei?
I loved SS. It was the best class I've played in any game ever.
Guardian Bear J
XD Most of the classes revolve around using their abilities to augment their shooting, but at higher levels, the abilities come into their own, and guns are there to back you up.
Guardian Bear J
If you can handle FPS mechanics, there's a lot of variety. I'm likely to mix it up between close range shotgunning, and long-range sniping. ... At least until I get my "Go invis and stab everything" class.
Guardian Bear J
The early warlock abilities revolve in a shield-draining melee attack, and an aura bomb grenade. ... Their "Super" attack is basically Goku's spirit bomb.
Guardian Bear J
Sadly, the Beta only went up to level 8, so I don't know what the advanced abilities are like.
WhatDidYouSei?
>:| Man now you got me all hype and I didn't even wanna be.
Guardian Bear J
XD;;
Guardian Bear J
Your early levels will be spent experimenting with weapons, really.
Guardian Bear J
It took me a long while to find what I was comfortable with.
WhatDidYouSei?
Unfortunately I'm so spray and pray its pathetic.
Guardian Bear J
Fortunately, Spray and Pray works if you get the right gun.
Guardian Bear J
I'm going with a scout rifle for my light weapon, I prefer semi-auto so I don't get caught reloading at an inopportune moment.
WhatDidYouSei?
You should see me in Borderlands XD
Guardian Bear J
If you're decent in Borderlands, you'll do fine here. XD
Guardian Bear J
You should see ME. Melee is high risk, high reward in Destiny.
Guardian Bear J
I will charge in with my shotgun and then just start stabbing left and right.
WhatDidYouSei?
XD Sounds primo.
