Destiny: Only one area per planet
- Thread starter murgo
- Start date
We actually patched the beta on all platforms mid stride. Tweaked some smaller stuff, too. Halo's tools weren't as agile as we wanted them to be as more and more support opportunities came online. It's definitely something we are going to be better at.

I love how everyone keeps defending Borderlands. Borderlands is the most dlc ridden game ever.
Everyone keep refreshing folks, this is it!!!!

No. It's not whining when for almost 2 years Bungie is describing how many massive worlds we are going to explore.
Just like the E3 2013 video someone posted before where they said "you see those areas over there? You can go there and explore! We just won't right now because of time." Yeah, no people are rightfully raising questions because we're finding out 2 months before release that they were full of shit for the last 19 months.
If they had just been honest about what the game was this wouldn't be happening but then again the hype levels wouldn't be to the moon either. It doesn't help when in this same thread urk makes a long post but doesn't answer a single question.
Just because people are raising questions and concerns and sounding negative doesn't mean they're bitching or whining for no reason. We have PLEANTY of reason for concern and we're lucky this came out BEFORE we shelled out $60
(And before people go "well you obviously hate the game and aren't buying it so why bother", I actually went from "not buy at all" to "definitely picking it up sometime in the future." Now it's just about getting it at launch for $60 or months away on sale at $30)

Hold me!
If you don't think the game is worth your time and doesn't have enough content at 59.99, don't buy it. Actions speak louder than words anyway. Vote with your dollar. I'm sure it's been mentioned but I have a feeling this will be like that MW2 Steam picture.
Anyways, I always just assumed it was one area per planet, so no less hype here. Were we ever told we'll get to explore all different areas of the earth, and that's why people are upset?

I know you probably can't answer either way, but I hope competitive MP has solid custom game options. I would enjoy a gametype with no supers and restricted loadouts.
It still hurts man

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
The answer is yes, nice try.
Destiny PvP sucks donkey dick IMO anyways. An incoherent mess is the best way to describe it.
I'm not upset. I'm about to pop a beer and celebrate. As you might imagine, what I'm probably not going to do is provide a list of ALL THE CONTENT IN THE GAME. Unless the beer is really, really strong.
You're high

Folks, there are probably ndas and such, can't be telling everyone on the internet everything becuase you're all acting like manbabies. Not you messofanego, just people in this thread.
Damn you Urk! damn your bungles.

Borderlands has PVP maps/competitive multiplayer? News to me.
I must've been playing different games.

If you count the awful arenas in the first game, then yea. Doesn't change the fact that PvP in BL is a bigger joke than this thread.

Like the "mp" was so amazing in Borderlands. Destiny pvp is great and really fun.

Yeah, even just answering this would ease a lot of people's concerns. Is Old Russia the only Earth area for the campaign? That could give us an insight to the other areas of the game without making a list of everything. Right now everyone is basing their info off the beta and that's what's worrying folks.
100% this. Giving non-answers just screams "we can't tell and by that we mean we won't because we know it's right and don't want another 50 page thread of wtf.gif reactions on every gaming website from upset potential buyers."

Do I think this game will provide more content than any CoD game? Yup. Yet everyone lined up to hand over $60 Day 1 for that series year after year. And not to mention the map packs. Ooh, I can have Snoop in the game? Take my money...
This thread:
I legitimately laughed out loud at this
What is Urk trying to hide?
Why won't he just provide us the answers?
Did George Bush have a wireless earpiece in for the second debate with John Kerry?
People, Urk is a community manager, not a one man PR machine who decides when to announce major features.

Seeing that this game is meant to have a 10-year shelf life, I wouldn't be surprised if there's only a limited number of maps/levels on initial release. It's a pipe dream if you're going to expect a lot of content from the get-go. They're going to milk it for what's it worth as DLC.
IMO, this feels like a non-issue. First day purchase on my end.

You realize that pic shows at least 17 pages and less then 1 page is filled with people playing it. I'm not sure what you think that pic is showing.

Im not even trying to talk about PvP, Vire brought it up to defend that the game might not have as much PvE content as BL 1/2, the most similar game to Destiny out right now. Considering nearly 100% of the marketing for the game has been SP focused and "Go explore all these planets" and "You can even go way out there!" its a valid complaint. Not sure why he felt so hurt about he needed to make a thread to defend poor wittle Bungie.

I think something as simple as: "there is more than what is outlined in the OP" would suffice.
No need to detail what that may be.
I didn't make that thread to defend Bungie, it was an ongoing attitude prevalent on GAF that has been exacerbated since the Watch_Dogs fiasco and hasn't stopped since. If no one says anything, threads like this will continue to be a shithole because of people like you.

TBF That boycott had several pages (17 in fact) this only showing the one.

Because that's probably a massive list, plus some of us would rather discover it ourselves and reviews will mention this.

And where exactly did you come up with that? When was it disclosed that Borderlands 1/2 has more content than Destiny? Stop talking out your ass.

This thread:
CoD Ghosts catches a lot of hell here, but that game delivered content in spades. The VS portion has more modes of play then any other series aside from Halo. The Co-op offers Extinction and Safeguard modes. Then there's a pretty fun campaign as far as CoD campaigns go. So cut the series some slack because using it as the go-to game to shit on is played out.

Surely it can't be hard to say:
* There are X unique environments in PVE, and Y in PVP
* There are Z public events
* There are A campaign missions
* There are B strike missions
* There are C raids
That's all I'm really interested in anyway.
No ones really asking you to do that mate. It's cool there will be a ton to do in each location compared to the beta and i'm really looking forward to playing it, but this thread is mainly about there being only being one area like Old Russia on each planet. You could have nipped that in the bud with a simple nope without having to spoil anything, so your silence is kinda all the confirmation it needs.
Congrats on the Beta though and enjoy that beer.
