I was just looking at the PS Store and on there it says download it ready to play from midnight 6th September.

So does that mean Midnight tomorrow night or Midnight Wednesday night.

I don't think there will be - digital pre orders had a 6gb update the other day and they may get another small one but I think the bulk is done and will definately be done for 00:01!

The first game will literally vanish into the ether buddy. People will go back to Xbox later in the year for the PS exclusive stuff I reckon butt it will be a brief hiatus on a very steep downwards trajectory. There just won't be anyone playing it and it's best as a pack game.

I would say dive into the 2nd one, I can't believe for a moment you'll be disappointed!

Ok, not being funny or anything, just a genuine question for the fans of the game on here:

what is it about this game that makes it so great/addictive?  I don't really know much about D1 or D2, but after reading the comments on here I had a look at a couple of gameplay videos and it just looks like another Haloesque shooter.  So what am I missing here?  Again, not being a dick, just genuinely perplexed.

Haven't decided on whether I'll get D2 yet but the gameplay from the first one was so good, it's one of the best shooters I've ever played in that respect.  Everything feels so smooth.  The actual story was a pain in the arse though, and the repetitive grinding was really annoying.

Well for the first game, for me it was the excitment of doing the strikes, raids and nightfall activities in the hope of getting the perfect weapon/armour piece! I pumped well over 1000+ hours into the first game without getting bored! The story was trash and the 'real story' was only accessible by getting grimoire cards which you could only read on your bungie profile on their website which was a poor choice but the lore behind it all is so interesting! On top of all that there was a competitive game mode called Trails of Osiris which was 3v3 and first to 5 rounds! You played up to 9 matches (unless you got 2 or 3 loaees i cant remember) but if you went flawless and won 9 games out of 9 you got very exclusive rewards that can't be obtained elsewhere in the game! It's one of those games where you have to play it for yourself to 'get' what it's about!

If I could answer that question I'd either be very rich or potentially rid of several of my afflictions ;D ;D ;D

Personally, I think it's a combination of the RPG + FPS elements that makes the magic.

To your point of it just looking like another shooter, I suppose that's true, but everything it does...it does almost flawlessly. There are few games that get PVE or PVP so right individually, let alone in the same game. Then there's the Co-Op play, how many shooters can you think of where teams of 6 take on challenges that last hours?

I fucking love it! The only other game in recent memory that delivered anything close to the entertainment and enjoyment of Destiny has been Borderlands 2 ;D 8) :wave

I think it's the ease in which you can do what you want that makes Destiny a great game. They have playing areas whereby everyone who is on a server is involved and you can all gang up and kill whoever. They have public events as well within these same areas that allows everyone on to do something together and the satisfaction you get from blasting some massive boss with 10x the amount of HP of a regular boss. The game has been designed so it transitions you from being in a public arena and into a private area if you're on quests as well which is a very clever mechanic.

I think overall though it's doing repetitive things and it never becomes boring that is a real key to it being a great game.

The story line, well for D1, i played from the Taken King arc, so I got the original story line, plus the other 2 (?) story packs & Taken King so i had a bit more content to blast through, whereas the original release, the story mode was quite short and i believe (and peeps will correct me if i'm wrong) that the additional packs didn't get released straight away, but they were done in a staggered approach with the gap being some while?

There's a comparison to Halo to be made, but Destiny is a different beast.  The game had massive failings until Year 2, but what it's always had is quite simply the smoothest gunplay and character movement I've ever known in a computer game.  The ease of being able to just jump out on patrol and shoot things until you got bored was great.

Destiny 2 much the same, and whilst they've "nerfed" some of the movement abilities (RIP Titan skating) the game is as good as ever.

The social side of the game has always been good too, easy to jump in and out of fireteams and what have you - and they've really expanded on that this time around.
