So the beta closes tonight, and I've had a chance to put in a little bit of time between the 360 and PS3, though I haven't played the PVP (not interested at this point because I'm not too good at Halo PVP).  I really like the game.  I like the story, the missions, the challenges for me, and the gear.  It's fun.  I haven't had a lot of luck with Fireteams, but then again, I don't have a ton of friends on XBL or PSN.  I just really like the game.

 

It's not for everyone.  The hardcore FPSers who gave the Halo community a terrible name are still there.  Check the bungie.net forums...ewww..  Some people don't like the amount of content (those who hate DLC), soome don't like the gear grind, and people have been finding all kinds of flaws in the game.  I do really enjoy my time.  I like the feeling of success when I beat a boss, and frankly some of the attacks like a Titan's punch or headshots with a sniper rifle, or the Warlock Nova Bomb are really satisfying for me. 

 

I look forward to getting my preorder and enjoying what I can when I can.  I don't have tons of time so the Xbox DLC delay isn't a big deal for me.  PC master race folks will laugh and scoff at me, but I look forward to enjoying some Destiny soon!

 

PS - Plus I love being able to manage my characters from the app...I spend a lot of time checking my dude out =)

If you're like me, and dying a little bit everyday in before the game launches:

That really makes me excited for the game.  I'm also actually excited for the end game after watching this:

Some folks are going to really bemoan the lack of match making, but having play games with match making, I'm glad we have to actually work with people you kind of know.  Or at least you know they want to do well.  In LOTRO, I remember getting stuck with a healer who was constantly AFK because of his bowels.  Or the hunter who had to keep checking their screaming kids (talk about screwed up priorities!)...

 

I like that you have to figure out a way to find people to run these with. 

 

Well, there we go, I really can't wait until this game comes out =)

Yep. I can't wait to get a crack at him! I've seen in many videos where he takes forever to down.

Got to keep blasting those legs, and rezing your team members. I'd thing your heavy weapons would be really important there.

Idk if I was just playing with good teams or what, but he only took 10 minutes to kill and I don't really remember dying by him.

So it's almost Destiny day...if you haven't seen it, here's the slightly humorous live action trailer...

 

http://www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-Live-Action-Trailer/en/News/News?aid=12089

 

It's super campy and cheesy, which is what I expect for a video game!

 

Anyone else here got their pre-orders situated?  I'm picking up my xbox 360 version on Tuesday after work.  I'm so freaking excited!  Also, there are more of the Bungie crew and tester profiles coming out...seeing the names of places and the gear has my inner loot ***** standing at full attention.

 

I think that's what's getting me exited the most.  Secretly, I'm a huge loot *****.  I love shiny stuff!  See y'all on Tuesday!

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
