I just put in the redeem code for the Destiny Beta on my Xbox One because a friend gave it to me. Does anyone know how to find your downloads on the Xbox One? Yeah.

I actually think the hype around Destiny has been due to Sony fans having a Bungie game be so favorible to their console choice. The whole Xbox fans hate Bungie for turning on them is mostly something perpetuated by Sony fans and media. Ive seen at least 20 articles defending Bungie against hateful MS fans and have never seen a single article or messageboard post(though I am sure that they exist) showing this angst. Sony fans love to say "why are xbots so down on destiny, just because the DLC or Bungie. Stupid Xbots lolz" but it is an invention of their own imagination. Sony fans see it as MS fans hate it because it is better on Sony and a reather large a vocal community LOVE this. Maybe its just not that good. If you look at the pre orders there is only a 50,000 difference in preorders(though that does not take into account the bundle)

Destiny doesnt look amazing, doesnt seem to have revolutionary story (atm), no amazing control changes, doesnt have any major groundbreaking gameplay mechanics and to myself doesnt seem that great(not the best judge as I dont really play FPS on consoles).It doesnt seem like game of the generation or even a contender for game of the year. Destiny hasent really been raved about by reviewers either. Maybe it isnt that great.


No! this game is going to be huge because it will be good. The alpha changed a lot of people minds about the game. Now the Beta is just confirming how huge this game is going to be.

The beta and alpha have made me a believer in this game. I was interested before because of bungie, but honestly the previews and trailers were very underwhelming, but after playing it, holy crap my hype for this game is through the freaking roof.

I for one will be buying day one and playing the crap out of it!

This is exactly how I feel.

I love Bungie and Halo is my favorite gaming franchise of all time. When I first started seeing Destiny I was hugely underwhelmed and dissapointed as a long time Bungie fan.

Then I played the Alpha / Beta and everything clicked together. Im blown away and soooo happy Bungie is continuing to be the awesome developer Ive loved for so long. 

I feel Destiny really is one of those games you need to play to really understand.

Agree 10000000%

I have people that used to say that this would be another Defiance.....then they play this and their minds change. You HAVE to play this game before you can talk.

Looks like you were right, must suck having to forcefully not like something because of politics.

How funny, sarcasm over console warz "politics" while engaging in them in the very same post. Congrats.

Being one of the 2-3 "Xbox fans" to post impressions before you decided to enlighten us with this delightful social commentary, let me just say in my defense since day one on this board I have said I'm no Halo fan. So I am at a loss at to why I'd need to fake disappointment in a beta of a multiplatform game.

Maybe it's "politics" that lead people to believe someone would stoop to such nonsense.

I see something hit a little too close to home.
