Been playing the Alpha. So far pretty fun. Can see that co-op will make it better. Soloing can be hard, especially when events happen. MP is fun, Halo like. I can see it being a viable replacement for other FPS multiplayers..Plus PVE and PVP loot carry over. Also very pretty.

That sounds really good. Mine is still downloading but I can't wait to try it later too.

Don't you have to play Half life 1 & 2, Dishonored and Assassin's Creed IV before you play anything else? .

Your destiny lies as either an assassin seeking revenge or a theoretical physicist. You decide your fate.

Just did the co-op mission. Quite long and very hectic. Shit popin' off everywhere but very fun. Shame it's only for 3 players. I would hope the full game has larger squads.

I think it's going to be up to 6 players... don't quote me on that though but I remember reading/hearing that somewhere.

Had a good look at this today - pretty impressive. Found a few uncommon guns, which you can level up - I'm sure the rare and legendary guns will have lots of different leveling options. If anyone wants to run through some co-op stuff before the alpha goes down, hit me up.

This game is great.

[Aromaci]

I looks forward to the beta to see other aspects of the game not shown.

If you want to check out your Grimoire cards and more stats than you can poke a stick at regarding the alpha, login at http://alpha.bungie.net - the normal bungie site the game sends you to doesn't have the alpha stats & details. I can see myself spending way too much time on this game when it releases!

[Aromaci]

Thanks, I was wondering how I get to that stuff.

Thanks Econodog .

I played some of this yesterday and it's so far so very good (for me). In the morning, getting through the tutorial and it felt a lot like a sci-fi version of Borderlands but much more open (and a bit more serious ). There aren't a gazillion pieces of lower tier loot to sift through from enemy drops though (like the white Borderlands 2 ones that most people would ignore anyway, lol) since they mostly only drop ammo, but when you do occasionally find something it mostly seems to be useful to your character or something you would consider using, which I like so far. The controls and UI/menus were good too.

I did some free roaming back in the level 4 area after the turorial/story level and it was okay too. I can see it would be a lot more fun with friends or higher difficulty ones just to explore, do other quests and find better weapons, equipment and level up. I played around there solo for a little while though and it eventually got a bit repetitive especially because the beacon missions were fairly samey in my session.

But.... I tried out the big quest mission later in the evening and it was really intense (like Aro said above). I just joined on some random people and we did our own thing to try and take the bosses down, eventually moving and staying a bit closer together to revive each other. It feels like a big win taking them down . I might try the shield class next time if I get a chance to see how that goes.

Overall, I really like it so far. It'd be good to try it with a fireteam (party) since randoms seem to come and go in free roam. It says there's up to 6 players you can have in your fireteam when you highlight your name in the Orbit, so that's good. I'm looking forward to seeing more of the story/lore aspect of the game pans out when it releases as well . Glad I got the PS4 earlier than expected to try it out since Destiny was going to be my system seller .
