Destiny 360/PS3/XBOX ONE/PS4 review

[Tobal]

pvp changed that's for sure, from auto rifles and shotguns to hand cannons and fusion rifles... bungie are such ****ing idiots. Played clash and rumble to get a feel for the changes, started with the large clip auto i have Hex Caster, its type is reload and rapid fire and not one for accuracy, I just couldn't do a thing with it losing fights at close and mid range to every weapon going... the biggest problem is the stability nerf.. its has really ****ed over the huge stability and recoil problems large clip autos had anyway so your barely scratching shield at mid range and compound this with the better impact from hand canons, pulse and scouts you end with a massive bullet spread which is game over when your DMG and head bonuses are nerfed as well, I could easily empty a 67 clip into the back of someone to only see I'd taken off 3/4 hp due to all the misses and dmg nerf. I don't know if someone here has a large auto with stability or flinching perks will find out they can still compete.

Faired much better with the Suros Regime, a exotic small clip auto with similar stability to small autos and perks that give hidden impact or improved stability which I used alternately to test, found I dominated at close and mid range against all the hand canons with either perk. Sadly I've capped levelling it so I have no need to use it in pvp

Shotguns are just ****, sell them. Useless in pve due to hard enemies have a rush beat down damage bonus and its averaging 2 shots to kill in pvp which is enough time to get fusioned or meleed twice... unless you lucky to have that auto shotty or the exotic one with a range perk, as it seemed no one in the 8 games I played used a shotgun.

Well I could never compete with Atheon's Epilogue anyway. I found it terrible for PvP.

But its laughable if they nerf its stability, as it wasn't already the most stable rifle. And from what I gather the nerf also accounts for PvE which is very lame.

Suros is now the best gun in the game afaik. Its nerfed like any other AR, but it still works well. Mythoclast saw a whopping 35% damage decrease which puts it below the Suros now. I'm not into overpowered weapons for PvP, but the Mythoclast is a possible reward for the hardest challenge in the game. Even though people are glitching Atheon nowadays.

This nerfing is too bad because I finally found a Shadow Price with field scout (42 rounds).

Doh, tried to return to this today but couldn't get online. Suffering at the hands of the Zebra-error which seems to be spreading.

PSN is having problems again. Funny thing it didn't seem to have these problems when it was free? This is the second time this week.

[Tobal]

Would be nice to know what exactly i'm paying for with PSN if it can't get the basic features right, they can replace dashboard and basic chat/party systems to, its dire compared to a 7 year old 360. If it wasn't for being forced to pay to play online I wouldn't be paying the sub for "free" indie games.

It's no consolation for PS4 owners, but the PS3 PSN has been fine. I'm guessing that they're completely different servers.

[Panta Rhei]

Yeah this ridiculous. Its a pay service. I don't think netflix etc see these kind of downtimes. Messaging etc has already been a wreck for over weeks now.

[Largo]

im going to abandon the thorn exotic engram because of the pvp part, who the **** thought mixing pve and pvp by force in a so called "mmo" is a good ****ing idea.
Obviously the director who left was the one with the ****ing brain.

**** this game.

[SUMIRE]

Yeah, I had some of those exotic engrams that require you to PVP to unlock. I just deleted them as I have no desire to jump around like an idiot for hours on end.

[Largo]

500 million dollar investment, i mean for **** sake people are dying in the world and this is where the money goes

I'm with Bcass no major issues on PS3, but you do tend to kicked from PSN every couple of hours when the servers get busy.

Xur is selling some rocket launcher this week, I now have so many spare coins I decided to buy it. Looks like the exotics he sells are on some sort of rotation.

He's in the corner to the right as you enter the hanger this week.

Largo that $500 million figure is incorrect if it were true this game would have busted Bungie. From what I've heard it around the $250-$350 mark.

Hey guys,

My other half has been playing this and he is looking to do some raids but only has 2 other buddies that play destiny but hasn't had the chance due to the 6 player limit.

He is on xbox one and is level 28, anyone else out there looking for someone to help out on a raid please add him, his xbox gamer tag is Pods and Wicky.

Thanks in advance !

Finally got my first exotic bounty yesterday after ranking up vanguard (bad juju). Think I have the easiest one PVP wise (apart from pocket infinity which annoyingly has no pvp aspect to it)

Managed to complete my 25th strike last night after 4 hours straight, only to realise xur had already left for the week so I now need to wait for next Friday to start the next bit

As much as I dislike pvp in this, 10k points shouldn't be too hard to manage

Finished both of those bounties this weekend, Bad Juju is a pretty weak weapon, Pocket Infinity is decent enough, but the funny thing was I got a legendary fusion rifle better than it during the run up to unlocking it. Currently going for the Shotgun bounty but the PvP element of it is going to be rather tricky.

[Neon Ignition]

Things held up okay enough over the weekend so now at the tail end of the Venus missions. There's been some nice level sections over the last few missions and the Moon strike mission was decent enough. Already tired of seeing Ghost log on to something and then being hit by wave enemies
