    Fred Meyers has $450 ps4 bundle. You get the white ps4, dual shock 4 controller and this game. My friend gets 10% off so seriously thinking about this. Not sold on this game. But if anything I'll trade it in when fifa comes out

    My son pre-ordered it for Xbox One and I'm picking it up for him at Game Stop on my way home from work tomorrow.

    its gonna be worth it man. Just from the Alpha I was hooked. Let alone the Beta and real game. But if you are trading in, watch out on bundles. Make sure its physical copy of the game. A lot of bundles anymore do Digital copy of the games in bundles.

    I'll be playing at midnight since I did Digital! (although I bet Gamestop will do midnight release for this one too)

    I have been waiting so long for NHL 15 to come out because I traded my PS3 in when I got my PS4 that I'm not sure what game to get first? I know most people would say Destiny but I really enjoy the NHL games and they come out on the same day.

    Ah damn that's messed up. I'm just not sure this game is my type of game. I don't really play shooters anymore. They say it's like halo a bit, and I did love halo 1-3

    yep I'm with you. I am sooo burnt out on mindless shooting games. Actually in competetive gaming in general.

    The thing I loved about this, it was like Co-op Borderlands but a little more refined. So yes its first person, but to me it felt like more of an MMO, co-op, loot drop game. Borderlands, meets, Halo, Meets Diablo.

    Just my thoughts on what I got out of it. :)

    Patch notes from beta to live:

    http://www.bungie.net/7_Update-101---Patch-Notes/en/News/News?aid=12125


    Some things that stick out to me


    Cabal Interceptor - they said they would nerf the interceptor, looks like they did.

    Reduced Rocket Rate of Fire from 1 to 1.5666 seconds per shot.
    Reduced Rocket damage blast radius from 7 to 6 meters.
    Reduced Rocket damage falloff curves so they are less effective at long rangers
    Reduced Arming shape from 1 to 0.6 meters.


    Looks like they also changed it's spawning on the moon map
    Interceptor spawns reduced from 2 to 1.
    Interceptor spawn times reduced to 2 minutes.
    Interceptor timer now does not start incrementing until after the game has started.


    Crucible Marks drop rate increased from 2 to 3 for wins, 1 to 2 for losses. - won't have to play as much!

    They also changed a lot of stuff for every class.

    Less than 2 hours now, I just finalized my payment and there was a huge line already (probably around 150 people)

    Fuck seriously? I approached with the idea that it wouldn't be bigger than gta v...I hope I don't have to wait forever.

    Granted I'm not in Salem, but I hope it's not that bad...

    Put in almost 2 hours. But it's all what I did in the beta already. So no new thoughts from me. I'm about to pass out so I can play a ton tomorrow.

    Is it any good? Metacritic has it rated really low, but they rate every AAA game low to troll it.
