The beta only lasts four days?

[Brother Agatone]

Ugh, fuck me I just read what the xbox one and 360 dates are, and I'm in california for it.

[CruciasNZ]

:/ I only can get my hand on destiny for 4 days while ps3/ps4 gets 8 days? Fuck you activision.

Sony gave them millions for exclusive content and advance access

[An_A10_Pilot]

I know. But this merely compounds my annoyance at this already shitty monday.

[Brother Agatone]

I think its corrupt for companies to pay developers for exclusive content to make their console seem better than the competitor

[CruciasNZ]

Developer Bungie and publisher Activision have announced the contents of the special limited and Ghost editions of the long awaited sci-fi first person shooter Destiny, which will begin its beta test July 24 for the Xbox One and Xbox 360 game consoles.

Both the limited edition and the collectors "Ghost" edition will include access to the Destiny Expansion Pass, which will cost $34.99 on its own and give Destiny owners access to the game's first two downloadable expansion packs, which will cost $19.99 each if bought separately.

 

In addition, the $99.99 limited edition and the $149.99 Ghost edition will include the game disc itself in a SteelBook case, along with exclusive in-game items and real world content such as a field guide, a star chart and postcards. The Ghost edition will also have a Ghost replica with motion-activated lights and the voice of actor Peter Dinklage, who also handles the voice of the AI character in the game. There's also a letter of introduction and some "golden age relics" like a photo, sticker and patch.

 

For gamers who don't want to deal with all that physical content, Bungie and Activision will release the Digital Guardian Edition, which will be an all-download version of Destiny. The $89.99 price tag gives buyers the digital download of Destiny, access to the Destiny Expansion Pass and all of the digital content from the regular limited edition. The game will be released on September 9th.

 

What do you think of these special editions of Destiny and will you spend the extra money to get the included content?

Eh, I'll go with the limited edition because it gives me more armor and guns on top of the two expansion packs and I just got my beta code.

[CruciasNZ]

I'll upgrade from standard to Lim Ed. Collectors doesn't interest me

[Brother Agatone]

they don't charge me til it ships right?

Correct, aside from the obligatory deposit

[Brother Agatone]

I didn't have that obligatory deposit because i ordered online

You will be charged $10 then for the beta key. Apparently it's a publisher requirement, Activision wants at least $10 deposits for beta keys

[An_A10_Pilot]

Huh, that's odd. I put down only 5 and got one. But then again my gamestop prole love me.

Currency conversion. $10 NZ

[Brother Agatone]

They should've charged be by now but i got nothing, also they screwed up and sent me two beta keys.

I have tried the free open beta on the 360, I really enjoyed the campaign.

The crucible, hmmm just didn't feel right, seemed the usual people with shitty connections were 2 shotting most people, maybe it's just the beta version.

I normally prefer Pvp but in Destiny the co-op just felt better and more polished.

[An_A10_Pilot]

Well it is a Co-OP focused game. I hope to the Emperor that the Campaign is more polished! Ive really enjoyed the beta, especially when they let me go to the moon. I will be assuredly be buying the limited edition of this game when it comes out. It's going to be Awesome! 

[NinjaJohnno]

I really enjoyed the strike mission as well, completed that bloody fast with some other guys it was really good fun.

I have liked the hunter so far, I didn't like the a titans super, didn't really get a chance to play with the warlock.

[NinjaJohnno]

If you check the Bingie forums there are so many people complaining about Destiny, most arguments seem to be its a poor mans Halo or COD.

[An_A10_Pilot]

Well people will claim to love change then hate on it. Or hate it because it's hyper up or popular.

Most of us enjoyed it so those fanboys calling it a poor man's cod can get bent. They cant be reasoned with. If anything the game reminded me of borderlands.
