Borderlands, Diablo for consoles (just to name a few) would like to have a word.

Just shooting for the audio side here, but honestly I disagree about the soundtrack. The fact it's got a lot of more relaxed themes is one of the things I really like about it. Then to top it off the Cabal soundtrack is like impending evil marching right at you, it's pretty stuck in my head too along with the main theme. Honestly I think the soundtrack makes a refreshing change.

My experience these past couple of hours summed up beautifully.
man i would be crazy happy with that mat.
i dont think you guys realize how rare those are....
Awesome!
Even though I probably would be fine with the Ascendant Shards -- I need a ton of them to upgrade my armor. They're more rare to me than strange coins by far.
I have no clue what just happened. A random group of people beside me are doing the mars chest farming. All of a sudden vex keep spawning over and over, hobgoblins, harpies, and then centurions are coming too. I mean a LOT of mobs and they were getting higher level. It finally stopped after about 5 minutes of constant spawning.

lol what makes it more hilarious is that the cryptarch guy just turns his head away like "uh...I'm so sorry..." or "uh...that's gotta suck"

I'm mostly a PC gamer and I find grinding in games for loot boring as fuck so I won't be doing that here either. I'll do missions once or twice and whatever loot I get is good enough for me.

lmao at that gif
Luckily for me the one purple engram I've found was a legendary scout rifle

I'm also pretty impressed with the soundtrack to this game. I do wish you could edit the balance; the mix is great for single player, but this is not a single player experience and it damages the gameplay when playing with in-game voice chat. The music itself however is pretty fantastic. Probably the best soundtrack I've come across since DE:HR.

There are tabs to that page at the top. The first tab is just advertising the companion app.
What? Most of the time I try. It's those times when I'm playing a match which is dragging, something which happens way too often, where I stop trying and just run out shoulder barging people for the lulz.
Are there any negatives to being in a faction? Is there any reason not to join one?
How quick is the Quickdraw Ability on the Shotgun? I'm staring down this "Grants Bonus Ammo Directly To Magazine" Shotgun being sold by the gun vendor.

Exactly my thoughts. If you have fun doing something ... You have fun doing it.
Bungie stated eons ago that this was going to be a 10 year long series. The story, if you take the time to actually follow it, has a lot going for it. It is obvious this game is about
breaking the siege on Earth and awakening and healing The Traveller
With the ending
it looks like the Vex are done for unless this heart that was being used to keep the Traveller asleep is gone was just one of many that is used to create these things
So yeah the ending feels incomplete because it is. This was Chapter 1 of ???
Now that Bungie has the engine in place and has the initial product out hopefully they can go in and really tone the mission system and the side quests and such and put more thought behind the next batch. The gameplay here is solid. I love fighting, especially the Cabal. Love the environments. Love the equipment and cosmetics. They did a damn golod job making the exotics and legendary items desireable. I want them and will do what I need to do to get them. If the end equipment sucked ass, yeah I wouldn't waste my time. But I haven't seen an end game item yet that I wouldn't want! Great stuff.
They have work to do for sure. They need to hone the drop rates a bit. Add more spice and variety to the missions and flesh out the characters in the world. I can't wait to see where this franchise goes personally. Even story wise I see a ton of potential here for some truly epic battles.

You're getting shitty loot despite being the best in Cruciable cause you're a bad person.

Doesn't seem any different. You get more Vanguard marks though. If you're level 24+ might as well
and you're okay with that? with being sold chapter one of ??? ?
to go with your analogy, i was hoping for book 1 of ????, but instead I feel like I just got a preview from one book.

Were people unhappy when book 1 of 3 released for lord of the rings?
That doesn't make sense. We knew going on this was book 1 of 3 or whatever.
My first 5 purple engramd were blues. Then the next two were legendary and for my class. So overall I feel lucky. Currently lvl 26 u need more rare materials.
BL2 had a lot if loot, but the majority was trash just like Destiny, I don't get the complaints.

Male. I made female and regret it. Make pose on character screen is so boss
People would be unhappy if all the marketing for LotR said "This is a full book! It's part of a series!" and then when they purchased it, it was just a single chapter instead of the full however many chapters LotR has
the story is lackluster and incomplete. period.

A couple things really irk me after so many days.
1. The Crucible needs to be in the game post haste. The number of people I have now talked to who have never checked it is insane and it is a good deal of data and lazy to not have it within the game. Completely broken and could somewhat alliviate the poor reaction to the story and just the overall presentation of data within the game
2. All these maybes and so forth about what strike gives what, and if a level does a certain thing needs to be explained. Its not that people can't deal with some mystery but everything seems shallow in detail and I keep running into folks who waste a ton of time doing one thing not knowing its not heading towards what they want and due to the roughness/weird grind/cap of the game itself they just throw their hands up and say "screw it".
3. The cap needs to go. It makes no sense with such a stingy game and one that has so many variables towards what a player may get.
I think everyone understands 10 years blah blah blah. The truth is no one expected this kind of thing from Bungie. I think thats a fair statement and as a fairly popular reviewer just said to me, "There is a very real sense of mystery as to how it got released with so many different parts not connected or explained."
Thats not me harping on it. That is just the stuff I would like to be fixed because I just lost 17 of my clan friends who just decided to return their gamefly copies or move on in frustration and that is not like these guys and is actually a fair bit depressing to me.

Agreed, if they really planned a plot over 10 years it feels like they're stretching it out way too much, just based on this first game. As much as we all hate on the ending, I feel Mass Effect absolutely nailed the amount of world building, characters and plot in that first game.
