I didn't bother to come up with a clever title, so this is just THE DESTINY THREAD.
An FPS that plays a lot like Halo did when Bungie developed it. The main hook for this particular game is that character builds and team-based PvE are a large part of the game, meaning there's more for you to do than just deathmatch it up all day and night. From what I can tell, they've put a lot into the world-building, so it should actually be story you can care about.
I think there's plenty to justify having a PS4, but... I guess your logic is sound, if it is the only game you want.
I've liked Bungie for years, now, but I'd been kind of getting down on the general art style of Destiny... it just seemed boring, or something.
I play games with my kids, so I've been getting a lot of mileage out of numerous indie games. Resogun, Towerfall, Trine 2, and Cell Damage are recent big hits in our house, though they were both fairly enthralled by Destiny for the time they got to play it.There's plenty more, but let's be real, right now, only two games for PS4 I want coming out THIS year that would be preferable (Or exclusive to PS4) are Infamous Second Son, and Destiny.
My philsophy is once a console has four games on it that I want or are coming out in a small time period or already, it's worth purchasing.
PS4 will probably get that in Early 2015 when Mortal Kombat X and some of their other heavy hitters come out.
One of the things I liked about the Alpha (and I hope remains for the beta and main game) is the frequency of loot drops. They're not that common, even for common weapons/armor. You might get 3 drops on a 20 minute mission, and I like that. The worst part about Borderlands (and most other loot-based games) is the constant menu surfing. Every time a fight is over, you picked up 10 new guns, so now it's time to make sure you're using the best one, so let's go into the menu AGAIN.
I agree that the art style isn't all that appealing at first glance, but it's good to know when the game is in front of you being played it looks good.I've liked Bungie for years, now, but I'd been kind of getting down on the general art style of Destiny... it just seemed boring, or something.
Thing is, after playing the alpha, I can say two things:
I went from, "eh, it's Bungie, it'll probably be good," to, "I can't wait to play this game some more."
- The gameplay is top-notch, like... seriously the best FPS gameplay I've played recently.
- The art style suits movement much better than screenshots, and I no longer feel like it's boring after seeing it in motion
I'll be doing the PS4 beta (longer time frame ftw).
wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut
None of these issues have ever affected a Bungie game. Halo did just fine without kbm or PC versions, and so will Destiny.Obviously I'm half joking/half jealous. It does look good as hell.
That said, games which exclude a sizeable portion of players is bad for the community. And sadly x-platform is likely pretty far off since controllers can't compete with keyboard+mouse.

I don't think there's not gonna be a pc version, but I do think it's never going to be a focus. If you release a game on PC, it's going to be pirated far more than actually sold, that's just the reality of the situation. "Player," demand on PC doesn't actually correlate to, "Paying customer," demand, so they really don't have much reason to have a sense of urgency on the PC version. Once all of their paying supporters have gotten the game, they'll release on PC the the industry standard 95% piracy rate.
This has always been a pretty silly argument. The incredibly obvious solution is right in front of us, after all: support usb kb+m on the console versions. Most people already have them lying around and the people that don't can get one for less than a regular xbox controller if they aren't dead set on getting a razer or something. The situation, as it is right now, is like if people banned arcade sticks from a bunch of fighting game tournaments because they're so much better than controllers.Obviously I'm half joking/half jealous. It does look good as hell.

Double posting because I didn't see this particular post earlier.I don't think there's not gonna be a pc version, but I do think it's never going to be a focus.

I think it's a, "get what you pay for," kind of situation, and in this case, most PC gamers aren't paying anything. People always complain about PC versions of AAA games being janky and unpolished (or late, or not happening at all), but what motivation does a studio have to work hard on it when the sales numbers always look like shit?
Let's be careful not get into a PC vs CONSOLE debate, regardless. I was mainly voicing my opinion on why Destiny in particular won't be rushing to a PC near you anytime soon.
I'm not sure if you're trolling or being serious, because you just went through almost every software pirating talking point. Regardless of whether you're serious or just taking the piss, this isn't a conversation for this thread. I'm going to leave your post because it's my fault for even opening the door for the PC master race hive mind. I'm closing that door right now.
I'd start a Skullheart clan, but I did so in GTA5, and it taught me that there simply aren't enough players here to make up an effective clan in a different game.Hey guys,
So Bungie website updated and Companion App out.(iPhone and Android only)

Sign in to your profile and you'll have a nice wealth of things to play with. One interesting one. Groups, Clans, and Alliances.
You can join any open group or clan or make your own. Clans have the added benefits once you have 4 members in it, the ability to have a Clan Tag(which you can make PSN, Xbox, or even both platforms!) with their name in-game and become eligible for Rewards. Then we have Alliances. Where you can set up a Network of Clans and unify together.
