Phil Spencer has over 300hrs logged into Destiny lol. Can it be said enough times how it's great to have an actual gamer as the head of Xbox as opposed to a suit who pretends he plays the games he's a mouthpiece for?

Destiny is garb. If I wanted to play Destiny and be on the same page as everyone else when Taken King comes out I would have to pay $120. Yeah, no thanks.
I like Destiny. I dunno- it's just fun to play haha. I've been cruelly hooked into Elite Dangerous so I haven't touched Destiny in a couple months, but I'm chomping at the bit to get into TTK.
By digmouse Go To PostShuhei Yoshida even platinumed Bloodborne.I didn't see that- that's awesome!!
By ViewtifulJC Go To Post"actual gamer"Who puts in well over 1,000hrs into a video game?! No one, that's what i say.

No one.
Not even me. ;)

Doesn't account for time spent in orbit, or in the tower, or being idle.
That being said...
Xbox says I've logged 1,779 hours.
WOD says I've logged 1,169 hours.
And even still- I'm only 8th highest on my friends list for hours played lol. Almost everyone above me is in the 2000's.
I think I have like 45 minutes in the free PSN demo of Destiny... the shooting feels nice, but that's about it.
By Wesleyshark Go To PostThis is sobering: http://wastedondestiny.comDamn, I've not put anywhere near that into almost any game.

Even the Halo series as a whole is probably only around 1000. Minecraft is probably the game I have the highest playtime in, although that because I used to help run a server.
I've put about 25 hours into Destiny. Easily enough for me.
By Wesleyshark Go To PostThis is sobering: http://wastedondestiny.comlol yeah you've got me beaten hard on Destiny. I jumped ship a long time ago though. Perhaps I'll get in on it if the Taken King is as reforming as they are making it out to be.

I wonder when we will get another one of those excellent Josh Holmes developer diaries blog posts. The one he did a while back on co-operative play was pretty interesting.

Not possible. You can buy a disc with everything that exists in destiny for 60

By M0aHerder Go To PostMind if someone new joins the thread?Greetings, Moa.
By daedalius Go To PostNot possible. You can buy a disc with everything that exists in destiny for 60Yep. Base game + expansions + TTK = $60.
The Collector's Edition is $80, and contains the base game + expansions + TKK + exclusive loot.
TKK by itself is $40.
By M0aHerder Go To PostMind if someone new joins the thread?Welcome to the happenest place on the net!
We won't bite. Maybe a little nip. But it's a love nip.
By daedalius Go To PostNot possible. You can buy a disc with everything that exists in destiny for 60I thought it was 80?
By Wesleyshark Go To PostI think Nolan will be a better fit- or at least- I hope so. Give the ghost some damn emotional investment in the words being spoken!I'm sure Nolan will do a good job most definitely. I just Dinklages voice for the little bot (at least in the moments it sounded like he was actually showing personality). It's funny because I haven't watched GoT so I didn't realize who it was and why people were goin nuts until waaaaay later.
By Poodlestrike Go To PostSecret beta?!?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
On the other hand, I think that we already knew about this? They're not doing all their testing virtually or in-house, they're also using outside firms for that sort of thing. There's a lot of gaffers who work at places like that.
I never heard about it, but then again I haven't been on HaloENT as much lately.
By -Ryn Go To PostI thought it was 80?The Collector's Edition is $80.
I don't own Destiny in any capacity. If I want to play Destiny with all of its content on Taken King release day, how much will it cost me?
http://www.gamestop.com/xbox-one/games/destiny-the-taken-king-legendary-edition/122691
Oh... so it is. Still, how hard is it to get into Destiny nowadays when everyone who still plays is already max level and just grinding the same raids over and over hoping to get an Exotic? Is the PvP fun? Are they fixing PvP with TTK?
So many questions.

$60 assuming you don't mean bonus items (thanks Wes)

Not really that hard. The PvP levels everyone's stats out so that only yours and your weapons abilities are the differing factors. By the time you finish the main story you'll probably have decent enough weapons to fight fine.
The PvE has a fairly natural progression that lines up with your characters current level so you won't exactly be having a hard time with the game until waaaay later when you need people to co op with for stuff like hard mode strikes.
Is the PvP fun?
With friends? A blast (co op is where Destiny shines. A lot of fun comes from broing it up). By yourself… YMMV. I don't mind it but I don't mind the map design (as in I don't have any opinion on it). If you're looking to be super competitive you'll get frustrated too.
Are they fixing PvP with TTK?
LOOOL Doubt it.
So many questions.
Ask away
Let me repeat this in bold, because this is awesome for folks who haven't played yet or played a long time ago and are far behind: with your Taken King purchase, you can one-time boost a character to be high enough level to jump right into the Taken King story.
By derpface123 Go To PostShould I even get Destiny for Xbox One? I have a PS4, I hear it's more popular on that platform.Sony has an exclusive content deal with Bungie, but the exclusive content isn't all that game-changing, really. It's very popular on all four consoles haha. Pick your poison! I think there's as many Xbone players here as PS4 players, as far as Destiny goes?
By jem0208 Go To PostDestiny's PvP is just the worst.I love the PvP, but is by no means balanced or competitive haha. It's a total hodge-podge of different playstyles and ideas- it's fun as hell, and the mechanics are very polished, but it's kinda chaotic overall.
By derpface123 Go To PostShould I even get Destiny for Xbox One? I have a PS4, I hear it's more popular on that platform.Whichever you have more friends on that also have it. There are communities you can play with (hell you could get some of us to play probably) but it's real strength lies in having some buds to adventure with.
By jem0208 Go To PostDestiny's PvP is just the worst.Pretty truth. I'd say its only saving grace at the moment is the core gameplay and the OST. Everything else is meeeeehhh.
PvE is okay.
Destiny PVP is getting a significant overhaul with the taken king.
From what I've heard its promising, but it still has silly stuff like spawning with snipers/shotties and supers. At least they are getting rid of the things that can make snipers a single bodyshot kill and massively long range shotties.

Lol @ the gaf thread on the leaked menu. There's some really salty people in there trying to put the leaker on blast. Video games are srs bznss confirmed.
Seriously, Destiny chat again?
By jem0208 Go To PostThere a link anywhere?Bungie, you mean. Another thing Bungie never gave us.
It only took them 14 years.
By FUNKNOWN iXi Go To PostSeriously, Destiny chat again?Are there volume toggles in Destiny? I honestly don't even know. I have just always assumed that there weren't, given that it was a Bungie game.
Bungie, you mean. Another thing Bungie never gave us.
That's not how it's done Wesley. You don't stop the Destiny chat by asking questions that lead to more Destiny chat.
