If you missed the Destiny Beta this is what you missed

2 Aug

If you missed the Destiny Beta that was was the past weekend you missed what looks like a very good game. I played it briefly on the Playstation 4. In the beta I played I only had one time with connection issues and that was in between levels and was very quickly. The game is made by the makers of Halo. It is a first person shooter, but also has level up and weapon/armor upgrades from drops and purchase. It’s another one of the Multi-Media Online Role Playing Game but has the first person shooter feel of a call of duty or sort of like the Elder Scrolls.

During the beta you could get to level 8 but I was only able to get to level 3 since I got a late start. I think that the story line thus far is great, Destiny is set seven hundred years into the future in a post apocalyptic setting. Many things look very promising, they have an interesting feature that if you are working on a mission and someone near-bye is working on the same mission you will be notified and will be able to join up to complete the mission, but not get in each others way of loot. If your new friend is slacking behind the server will look to see if someone else is now closer to your progress.

Outside of Dying Light, which I like the premise of, Destiny looks like the only non sports game I might want to pre-order even over staple franchises like Call of Duty. Maybe I’ll see you online one day and we and go and take out some nasty aliens.
