    Halo has a great story, but next to none of the story is in the game.

    Are you referring to the books and graphic novels?

    Why do I feel like I'll be the only person buying the current generation version?

    if its any good im going to get the current gen version of destiny, because theres no way im getting a ps4 until next holiday season at the earliest.

    Hooray, at least I'll have one co-op partner anyway.

    ...assuming you'll be on the 360, anyway.

    I think he's perhaps talking about some kind of mise-en-scene ambient storytelling inherent in the ringworld and the architecture of the environments themselves. In which case he has a bit of a point. Of course, if he is talking about the 'expanded universe' novels and comics and animes and what-have-you then that's debatable. Extremely debatable.

    True story:

    I probably read the green journal that came with Halo Reach more than I actually played the game.

    Those capes had better accurately reflect the Moon's 1/6 gravity or so help me god...

  • The_ScarabThe_Scarab Registered User regular
    How awesome is it that this game has capes. More games need capes.

    Dragon's Dogma dude. It had its heart in the right place but it could have used some more polish. Capes and all.

    Of course, I'm playing it for the fifth time. :)

    I'm guessing the beta will be set on the moon. I hope competitive multiplayer is available.

    Oh gotcha...I'm wondering why Amazon's tiny print says October 3rd...unless I'm misreading it, as I typically do.

    I might have to put a rain check on getting Dark Souls to make sure I can preorder this and get an Xbone by the time this comes out.

    Pre-ordered for PS4 from Amazon, who will inevitably fail me and screw up launch day delivery. A bit annoyed I can't pre-order this digital from the PSN store and get the beta access.

    i'd be amazed if there were any special/collector editions. seems pretty much every big release gets on these days.

    Don't you love pointlessly gated by the publisher betas instead of just letting everyone download the goddamn beta so the developer can get the most data?

    This is the company that invented the cat-helmet superfluous-shit-you-do-not-need edition. They will definitely have a way to spend more money on this game.

    Went ahead and pre-ordered from Amazon. Though honestly after I get the beta code I'll probably cancel, as I plan to buy everything digitally next gen.

    Wasn't that Microsoft with the Chief's helmet?

    Of course, Activision just keeps the tradition going.

    I think Mass Effect fans will like this color combination.

    The capes are like the ones in Guild Wars, right? Clan logos and shit?

    I can't believe how much mindspace I'm dedicating to capes right now.

    I love the art style. It's like a happy medium between Halo and Mass Effect.

    Pre-ordered, for PS4.

    I'm really, really hoping the £55 price is a placeholder...

    Technically it's Microsoft what invented that kind of special edition, right?

    And now their publisher is Activision.

    So...I don't think its going to change much.
