Yeah I've done like 10 strikes, bought new ship and speeder already. Leveled up some weapons and abilities but loses it's appeal after a while with no leveling.
Did you find a blue weapon?
So in PVP are stats normalized? It seems like they are which is great, but then I see PVP armor and it makes me wonder.
I think you guys are missing the meaning of "Wow killer". Nothing will kill WoW but time. A "WoW killer" is simply an MMO that has more active subs and does WoW kind of numbers financially.

lol think you have me beat on hours into it thus far. Ever find a blue you could equip at your level, and which class did you settle on?

If you have the money to spend, sure. It would seem funny you would want to buy a console though just for alpha access. If you can wait, I would purchase the bundle pack that comes with Destiny when it launches. Right now there aren't many PS4 games that are a must play. Watchdogs kind of fell flat, Wolfenstein can be purchased on any platform. So unless you are a major baseball fan and want to play MLB The Show 14, I would wait for the white bundle and see what else comes out for the system in the meantime.
With that said, this is a great game from what I have seen thus far and will be a PS4 system seller.
Sucks I have to be out of town this weekend. I want to log in and screw around with it more.
Zarcath, good work on this. Please tell me the main character's VO is a placeholder. It's so bad. I like the other voice acting though.

The entire layout is different. From everything I have played so far:
1) Skill trees are more defined and have a much larger impact per class.
2) The environment and atmosphere is about 50 levels above Defiance in every aspect.
3) Gun play and movement/UI is much more responsive and easy to navigate.
4) The content is thought out and dispersed with variety. Defiance seemed like they had a couple guys just plunk down a bunch of random NPC's SWTOR style and called it content.
5) Vanguard home base is amazing with different outlays for content selection. I actually feel like I am safer there. Like when I used to play EQ and was happy I made it back to Freeport for a break out in the wild of danger.
6) More variety even in Alpha for itemization than the entirety of Defiance had.
7) I was actually happy I ran into other people in Destiny. In Defiance they were a nuisance or I didn't care if they were there. They were more in my way.
As long as Kotick doesn't fuck this up with bullshit Microtransactions at every step of the way so people can buy their own guns instead of play through the game, I see this being something I play for a VERY long time. That is my only fear. What Kotick does to this. If he keeps his crap off this, it will be amazing.

I had originally pre-ordered for the Xbone as Xbox was always the go-to for gaming with friends, but I have since switched to the PS4 version because of the obvious love (whether backed by incentive cash or not) that Bungie is showing for the PS4.
In an ideal world the character data would be platform independent and allow someone to play their characters on either system.

I wanna echo this sentiment. Several times I have been bailed out by some dude flying in with a shotgun while I was trying to solo an event. This may change when the population increases of course. Doesnt look like the difficulty of these events scales with the amount of participants. Also depends on the player cap per instance I suppose.

Yeah I think PS4 will be the way to go here, I assume xbone/360 users will be on one "cloud" and ps4/ps3 users will be in another. Given how much backing Sony is putting into it, feels like the ps3/ps4 user base will be much larger. Unless ofc all your friends are on xbone.
the main voice (your companion cube) is Peter Dinklage aka Tyrion Lannister, everyone is complaining he sounds super flat. Maybe he gets more excited later on or something haha.
Not my screenshot but I was playing on vita today morning via remote play and it worked great, the vita is pretty useless as far as native games but it is awesome for remote play and has no lag or anything. Controls aren't great though, I wouldn't wanna do a strike or anything super hard on it.
