So no thread about Bungies latest and greatest shooter/RPG/MMO??

The Guardian has a few words about it;

More here & here and I am in awe of the level of detail. Just might have to ditch QL

Thinking, might need a new PC too.

Odd choice indeed...

Sadly, this game isn't coming out on PC, because Bungie are idiots. There's still time for them to change their minds, but I doubt it and I may end up having to get a goddamn console after all.

You know, they may have picked The Guardian *precisely because* they don't know what they're talking about, which worries me...

HALO was supposed to be a PC game as well, until MS came along and snatched up exclusive rights. I don't think it did Bungie any harm in the end, financially speaking, so they may be willing to go that route again.

Actually there were a lot different journos from many different websites/magazines there. I just liked the write up

I should probably read it before talking shit, eh?

yeah, what do other people know about game eh?

Yeah, what does the Guardian's games editor (who apparently has been a games writer since 1995?) know about games!

Looks alright, possibly one to watch

Sometimes I miss the early days of Halo. I remember the first time I saw the ring in the sky
I won't be buying a console to play 'em, but still nice to see the scenery and new worlds (game environments).

Guess I better fire up UT3 again to get some eye candy..

ah lol.. oh well.

Yerp, there's also this nugget:

PvsP

So, anyone pick this up yet? Everyone seems to be playing PvP right now based on the Twitch streams I saw last night, but I'm more interested in the coop. My copy should arrive by the time I get home from work.

When is the PC release date? Should I spend $500 to play one game?

Ask your ex wife what she thinks... ...

if she's my ex why would I need to ask her? nice logic moron...

Poor shaft... Never learns from his mistakes...

I'm not posting photos of my wife for you...grow up.

There was an interesting press release from Bungie yesterday telling people to be wary of day one reviews.
Admittedly, with something in the MMO space, I'd usually agree that you can't judge such games based on a few hours of play, but at the same time, this does stink of a lack of faith in their product. I don't think I've seen other, more traditional MMO developers say the same thing.

This is my thoughts exactly. Can't see myself buying a console right now to play this. But if the new Fallout comes out, I'd end up buying a console and probably Destiny...

In other news:

Activision wrote:$500m spent on Destiny “shows the confidence we have” in the IP

Okay, that's not just on development but on marketing and everything else.
But still, $0.5B?!
GTA V cost ~$270M, but that wasn't a new IP. And it made a billion in 24 hours.
Can't really see Destiny doing the same.
