Edit: I'll post a few stats when the thread quiets down.

 

[MormaPope]

What are you going to do with this data?

 

[Chairmanchuck]

I actually wonder how many new Destiny threads were made in the last week...

 

[Maintenance]

I actually wonder how many new Destiny threads were made in the last week...

More than 500 million.

 

[Alx]

Is it only for players of the final version, or can beta participants contribute ?
Also I think you should add a third choice for all the "love" questions, for the level of appreciation. Or change the question with a tamer word, for example I liked Borderlands, but didn't "love" it.

This sounds so refreshing and invigorating, and I have no idea why. Maybe its the cold touch of the paper?

 

[NIN90]

There's a pretty big gulf between loving a game or not.

[31GhostsIV]

1. Your age Mid-thirties (sad face).
2. Are you enjoying Destiny? 3.5. With friends it's amazing, but story missions alone can become tedious.
3. Did you love the Alpha or Beta? Yes
4. Are you playing with friends? When possible, but so far that's only been for a couple of hours.
5. Do you love the Halo franchise? No opinion - I played CE when it cam out as my housemate bought the og xbox, and I had a go on Halo 3's multiplayer a few years ago, but not enough experience to give a proper opinion.
6. Do you love the Borderlands franchise? I tried, but I find it one of the most boring games on earth.
7. Do you love the Diablo franchise? Love is a strong word. I enjoyed it, but I completely lost interested once I hit 70 and finished the story missions.
8. Do you love the Left 4 Dead franchise? Yes.
9. Do you love competitive multiplayer? Yes
10. Do you love a strong single player campaign? As opposed to loving a crap single player campaign?

It's weird, I find myself loving Destiny's competitive multiplayer even though I haven't been in to competitive multiplayer for almost a decade. I'm also such a big presentation/storytelling whore but Destiny is just so fun and satisfying from a progression standpoint that the lack of it in this game doesn't bother me at all.

Make that a +1^^
