Hello! Wanted to share my first impressions of the game after playing the PC beta, as someone with no previous experience with Destiny, but hearing about it from friends. I tried out all three classes, the strike and pvp.
Sorry if this is a wrong forum category.
Previous MMORPGs I've played: [i]Tera, Aion, Wildstar, Lineage 2, Guild Wars 2.[/i]
Previous action shooters: [i]Overwatch, Warframe, Mass Effect.[/i]
My expectations can be skewed by those.
- First; I am really happy that this title has been bought to PC! :) Was always very curious about this game and finally could get my hands on it. Gamescom booth convinced me to pre-order.
- Game looks gorgeous and runs smoothly on max settings, the only more noticeable FPS drop I have encountered was in the Farm zone when approaching one of the edges of water [i](my specs: GeForce GTX 1070, Intel i7-6700K 4.00GHz, 16GB RAM, Win 10 64bit, game on SSD drive)[/i]. Game crashed once during strike boss fight.
- LOVE the armour designs.
- The opening is really nice with it's cinematic cutscenes, character chatter and a sense of urgency. Love it when mmos have some story that allows the player to get attached to it's world. Looking forward to more story quests.
- I know that this is a sequel, but would be great if new players could learn a little bit about important parts of lore from the first game on launch in some way. I've looked it up before, but two of my friends did not and felt a bit lost.
- Initially I was a little confused about where to customize character abilities as there was no "abilities" tab. Found it accidentally while checking equipment; hopefully some things will be more clear/explained on launch when you start with a low level hero.
- A training area would be great to test out different abilities and weapons.
- UI is rather obvious that this is a console port with having to hold buttons, etc. It's not bad, just need a bit of time to get used to. Visually it is very sleek and pretty.
- Would like an option to see my team mates HP. [i](maybe there is an option, but I didn't see it?)[/i]
- Using the weapons feels very satisfying, I like it that each weapon type has it's own flair and feels unique. I'm using KB+M.
- Would be nice to have some more heavy ammo drop to play around with those weapons more.
- Character abilities are fun. However, cooldowns feel rather long and the uniqueness of each class was more felt through their different jump types[i] (the various jump/air mobility styles is a really cool idea)[/i] and their armour. Would be great if CDs were shorter in PvE to make the "space magic" feeling more prominent.
- Really like it that the camera goes to 3rd person when using supers.
- Kill cam in PvP would be great.
- Hand cannons felt rather strong in PvP; seemed as if almost everyone was using them. Maybe it will be different with more gear available.
- Slightly unsure about abilities/weapons having the same stats in both PvE and PvP.
- The soundtrack is very atmospheric and creates an appropriate mood. Awesome!!
- Would like it if it was possible to adjust the volume of Music, Dialogue and SFX separately.
- Looking forward to raids to play with a 6 stack. :)
- Will it be possible to team up with more than 3 players in the open world parts of the game?
- Chatbox; Happy that text chat is available on PC. Would be nice if it disappeared after a while of inactivity. Real name could be off by default; got rather put off/confused by seeing my full name in game.
- General chat for hub zones would be nice. I'm guessing it is not a thing to avoid spam?
Overall my view of the game is positive, me and friends have enjoyed ourselves in the small bit available during the beta and I am really looking forward to playing the full thing. Thanks!
