I was apart of the Alpha for this and after playing it i have to say its one of my most anticipated games coming out.

The only thing they needed to fix was how frustrating 2v1's were. As long as they fix that the game will be amazing.

They will be sorely disappointed if they think they are getting something taken king size again. Bungie already said they aren't going to do that anymore and instead would be releasing small bits of content as they go.

@kresa3333: Most of the People that are negative are just speculating and going off hear say and shit.

Most of the Alpha players had absolutely glowing reviews of the game with a few niggles being mentioned. If the game excites you then get it because we dont play games to make others happy we play them to make ourselves happy and have a good time. I guarantee you that not a single person saying extremely negative things on this board was apart of the Alpha and you should know when they start their argument with a graphics complaint that they aren't true gamers anyway.

@Atragon: I am probably far more skeptical than you but playing the Alpha changed my mind a good bit. I have no doubts this game will suffer from certain systems becoming extremely repetitive such as the combat and the the bosses eating a ton of damage for the sake of balance but never the less i have seen and played it first hand and i definitely had a ton of fun from the small glimpse i got from it.

@xolivierx:

"then the enemies should not be absorbing 50 bullets"

Seriously pretty much every single shooter that has come out in recent times has had enemies absorb half to full clips of bullets. Even Cod is guilty of this shit with enemies eating at least 7-8 bullets before actually going down. Mass effect/destiny/The Division are balanced as such and have always been called RPG's and RPG's usually have boss fights that are difficult and based around stats from different aspects (I.E Armor/Weapon damage/ Etc) . Bosses are usually able to take absurd amounts of damage before going down.

The closest actual comparison we can make is to Mass effect 2/3 here and if you really look at it besides the space theme and biotic powers the gun play is very similar and normal enemies in that game can take 3-4 clips of point blank shotguns which were absurdly overpowered even by Mass effect standards.

So no i see no problem here except for people being overly whiny for no apparent reason.

I find it funny when people whine about the enemies absorbing bullets and then go play games like mass effect where enemies absorb shots from a fucking black hole gun.

Its an Rpg man just because tom clancy is attached doesn't mean it has to be a 1-2 killshot game.

@putaspongeon: During the Alpha the pistol was out damaging sniper rifles and marksman rifles at all ranges except extreme ranges where the sniper rifle was the only gun able to even hit them. It was very common to see a pistol 1-2 shot an enemy where it would take 3-4 headshots to take them out with a decent sniper rifle.

I stopped using my pistol because it was just too strong in the darkzone letting me level people in 2 shots with no risk at all because of its high damage and fire rate.

It looks like they havent changed how OP pistols were from the Alpha. Hopefully they tone them down a little before the beta otherwise people are gonna scream when they get 2-3 shotted by a pistol.

I wonder if we will be able to go to other areas this time?

The alpha was super limited in that only a very small portion was available to us.

@normanislost: That just tells me that more ps4 bros are jerking it to pornhub than xbox bros.

Or so the data tells me.
