I'm still hesitant. For an announcement, it sure didn't grab my interest. Looks like they are still trying to expand on the stuff they suck at (story for one). And who the fuck wants to be bothered by their xbox live friends when they are out. When I want to play xbox, I'll turn on my xbox. I don't want to have to be chained to their universe through an app to be able to fully enjoy a game.
I.... don't know. I'm definitely going to buy it because it's Bungie, but I don't know.
I generally like a descriptor to begin, "You are the _____", not "You are a ____.". Playing with other people can be fun, but it sure does destroy the illusion that you are the central figure of that universe.
In Halo 4's Spartan Ops, I'd rather be playing as Thorne or one of the d-bags of Majestic than my custom Spartan who never appears in any of the cut scenes. I just don't care about customization enough to justify completely unplugging my character from being a participant in the story. Maybe they thought up some way to have cake and eat it too, but... I don't know.
I don't want to be the dummy getting frightened over something that is new, but this doesn't strike me as all that new, really. It conjures a lot of allusions to other games that I am not a fan of. I'm not panicking or anything, but I'm not exactly excited, either.
We shall see.
I think at this point, getting worked up about Destiny is a little silly. They showed off some concept art, some gameplay, announced the basic idea of what they were trying to do. With all games, it's always just speculation until you actually play it.
Personally I'm looking forward to Bungie trying something new, it will always be compared to Halo. I'm going to keep an open mind, and get in to my mental state of being excited for something new, and not try to nit pick at every little detail.
And yeah, it's an instant buy for me, it's Bungie after all.
I suppose there will always be a :mech:.Quote:

I'm just going to wait and see what else we are shown before determining it sucks, but so far I don't really care for what I see. I'll probably buy it unless the reviews utterly suck.
That is your opinion, and not fact.Quote:

The announcement today grabbed my attention and I think it looks really interesting. I've always loved space exploration games and I especially love FPS. I'm excited to see where it goes.
Not a fan of MP only style games. I sometimes get annoyed/bored of MP and want to fall back onto the single player version of the game. Its also a great way to practice and home my craft, yet you cant do that with MP only.
The whole 'follow along via an app' will get old real fast and I dont see it being used often by myself.
I've never done an FPS MMO before, so I look forward to it. I know it's not exactly an MMO, but at the same time that's probably the best way to describe it. I'm excited, to say the least.
I'm just finally excited to see Bungie making NOT another Halo game.
Now, you can't really tell a whole lot from the video, but I personally like the style/direction they took.
That video..
