So far, looking to all YouTube videos I can tell that Bungie is going to deliver imo :)
The only thing I was unhappy about (or happy... Not sure...) is the similarity with Halo (the look and feel) but hey, it is Bungie after all!

The RPG aspects of it is the most exciting part for me. Loot, skills, level up, instances, etc... This baby will be awesome on my Xbox One.


I have no doubt that it will! It seems like it could be the most impressive xb1 title announced so far. Great that everybody gets to play it.

I've noticed this gen that the multiplats are the ones delivering right now. Exlcusives have been ok but nothing has really been amazing. So far BF4 has been the game I've put this most time in and have had the most fun in even with all the issues it's just an amazing experience. Now Destiny which looks great also I can't wait to get it. Day one Digital for sure.

Looks like this game is a little more aim down sights focused rather than hipfire like halo, is that how it seems to you?

I shoot from each style about 50 / 50

It honestly depends on how you play the game. You can play entirely shoot from the hip if you want or entirely ADS if that's what you like. The most elite players will you ADS at distance and hip fire and medium to long range. 

Also weapons feel very different from one another and some are better for ADS while some are much easier to use from the hip. There's lots of variety to play styles.

Also is there anything in particular you guys want me to capture video of?


Does the alpha let you go into character creation at all? I'd love to see the customisation options

Sure is, I'd be happy to give you a look at it, just give me some time to upload.

Good news I'm uploading some 1080p footage of competitive multiplayer on the Moon level as we speak

Ok, well that sounds pretty much like halo to me, which is good imo.  Looks great only wish it was 60fps, thanks for posting!
