TheMightyEthan Posted August 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Halo always had a motion tracker, but your enemies would show up as dots rather than just lighting up a segment of the display. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Â The trailer makes it look fun, but that must all be late-game stuff. Â Didn't help that I played the Control game mode. I hate those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Control was the only game mode in the Beta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomTervo Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Yep, I should have said re the minimap that the 8-way wedge motion sensor was the improvement I was talking about specifically. I always hated seeing the dots of your enemies in Halo. Removed a lot of the tension. The wedge display is a nice half-way point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorgiShinobi Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 What edition do you guys have pre-ordered? Â I didn't know if I would have a PS4 by the time Destiny was out, so I didn't bother pre-ordering a long time ago. I wanted to have the Limited Edition, but it looks like that is probably gone for good. There's that Digital Guardian (or whatever) edition too if you go digital distribution. Anyway, I have the Standard game on pre-order as that's really the only physical edition you can find as of late. I've signed up for notifications just in case the Limited Edition becomes available again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 I'm probably going with the digital guardian edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted August 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 I've got the standard edition. I didn't especially want any of the bonuses from the special edition other than the expansion pass, and it's about $5 cheaper to buy the base game and pass separate.

danielpholt Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Regular disc-based edition for me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) I cant justify spending $90 on a game all at once. Im not sure how season passes are so accepted. Seems like a decent idea, but im surprised people are ok with paying upfront like that. So I just got the regular digital version. Â Â Not to mention that you barely save any money with the season pass. Fuck that. Then again, people buy expensive collector's editions of new games in a new franchise completely unsure if the game will suck or not. So dumb.

Mister Jack Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 I bought psn credit a couple months back specifically so I wouldn't have to pay for Destiny all at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 I only get a Collector's/Limited if I like the bonuses in it. I've become a bit more discerning to the extras included, whether they're physical vs. digital; a temporary or a permanent item.  I doubt Destiny will become the biggest upset to gaming promotion and expectations, but generally I agree too that I wouldn't get an expensive edition for a brand new IP (i.e. The Order 1886). Oh, but I've got a price limit too, so no Ghost Edition for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vecha Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Regular edition for me.I only buy special editions for series I love...like how I'm getting the special edition for the persona game on the 3ds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, people buy expensive collector's editions of new games in a new franchise completely unsure if the game will suck or not. So dumb. Â Have they announced all of the content of the pass? With BF4 we knew it would be 5 packs at $15 each so the $50 "Premium" was worth it if you were in it for the long run. Â Either way I didn't even buy it until a few weeks after the first expansion came out. There's no need to buy it until content is actually ready. Also BF4 was nice and gave all of the unlocks retroactively. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 The expansion pass gets you two expansion packs. The pass is $35, the packs are $20 each, so you save $5 with the pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 $5. That'll get you a Subway sub. Yup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Yeah, it's really not an amazing deal. Â It's little enough money saved that I may end up not getting the pass at all, just buying each thing as it comes out, that way if I lose interest I haven't already spent the money.

CorgiShinobi Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 That Planet View is awesome. If I was on my desktop right now I'd try exploring a bit more, but it's a bit sluggish on my Chromebook right now. Â As for the CoD pre-order thing... Eh, it's nothing really new and I don't get why I should get a bit upset over what appears to be only a color shader for whatever armor you wear on your character. Nothing too fancy to wow me over, unlike say an exclusive mission or massive bonuses that put you ahead of other players. Â I'm already getting crap like that on my PS4 copy because PlayStation.

TheMightyEthan Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 For some reason the little opening cutscene where it zooms out to see the planets runs like shit on my desktop, but the rest of it runs fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These things are just so stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
