Another in-depth hands-on review. "It plays like Halo". http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-04-28-getting-to-play-destiny-better-than-halo

This article is full of mouth-watering details from someone who got to play the game http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/apr/28/destiny-hands-on-bungie-xbox-playstationshared-world-shooter

Yes, lots of people are up in arms about that. My understanding is that they haven't ruled it out completely but they are focused on consoles right now.

Sadly no news on the beta. My guess is that it will be shortly after E3.

Maybe you see yourself in cut scenes a lot?

Not yet, now that I've got Rhino that's my next goal. Right now I'm farming the 100k credits for the blueprint. After that I think I either have or can easily acquire all the resources I need to build it. I think I'm going to make a Shade; it can cloak you when enemies are nearby.I thought about buying one with some of my starting Plat but felt like that would be cheating not that I would judge anyone who did, it's just that I enjoy the grind for materials and the satisfaction that comes from crafting it.

Item trading not available at launch but will be enabled later http://ign.com/articles/2014/04/28/destiny-wont-have-player-to-player-item-trading-at-launch

We're supposed to be getting lots of info today! First up is new gameplay footage!

Have you seen the theory where Shepherd was indoctrinated at the end and so none of that actually happened? Or something along those lines.

I've been thinking back over the games I've put the most time into over say the past year, and they're co-op games. First Mass Effect 3 multiplayer and now Warframe (which has to be the most underrated PS4 exclusive and is well worth buying the console for, IMO. But I digress). I've put more hours into those two than into either Ghosts or BF4, possibly combined. I had a six day weekend last week and, other than an hour or so of Arkham City, didn't play anything but Warframe. I thought about putting in BF4, but never did. Before I could hardly wait until the next chance I'd get to play CoD or BF. Now I just have so much more fun in co-op games. The rush from working with your teammates to beat a tough mission is better than anything I've experienced playing a PvP game, no matter how good of a score I've pulled off. I spent lots of time playing BO2, and often I'd stop myself and realize I wasn't really enjoying it, I just kept playing because it was the "thing to do". I very rarely rage playing a good co-op game, while in CoD or BF I'm frustrated probably more often than not. Seeing people talk on here it seems like I'm not the only one, but people keep playing anyway. The game I'm far and away most looking forward to is Destiny: more co-op goodness (yes, it'll have PvP but I can't really picture myself playing it more than once in a while), while the only MP game that attracts me at all is Star Wars Battlefront. The point of all that is...well, I guess there is no point, I just wanted to talk about it. I'm sure I'll fire up BF4 once in a while, but it's no longer my "go-to" game and I can't see myself getting an MP game on release anytime soon.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of The Division. And hopefully Mass Effect 4 will be making an appearance!

Yeah, most of the time playing with randoms just turns into a race, which is annoying. I just need a couple more components and I'll be able to build Rhino.

Much info about Destiny is going to be released on Monday. Hopefully it'll include beta dates!

Evidently it was a hardware issue http://blogs.battlefield.com/2014/04/battlefield-4-high-performance-server-solution/?utm_campaign=bf-social-us-socom-tw-social-socom-tw-km-server-update-correct&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&sourceid=bf-social-us-socom-tw-social-socom-tw-km-server-update-correct&cid=20956

Having bought the Braton rifle last night (25k credits in the market) I highly recommend it. The MK1 is fine for a while but after you get past Earth it's just too weak. A lvl 1 Braton with no mods was taking guys down way better than the MK1 with a number of damage mods on it.

Yes, a new character would start at level 1. I'm still on my starting frame (Excalibur) but as far as I know you can use whatever weapons you want, whatever level they're at. The only way a weapon's rank would reset is if you sold it and built a new one, or if you used an item called a Forma on it (which resets its level but adds a new polarity slot).Jason, I think you'd like this game. Like Jonny said there are a number of mission types but like ME3, it's all PvE. You need to get yourself a PS4 so you can play with us

There are a couple of other important but unexplained points about mods. 1. Polarity: every mod has a symbol in the upper right corner, which is that mod's polarity. Some weapons and frames have mod slots with polarity symbols as well. If you install a mod into a slot with the same polarity, it only costs half as much to use that mod. For example, I know that Excalibur has polarity slots that correspond to its abilities (Slash Dash, Radial Blind, Super Jump, and Radial Javelin). 2. Upgrading mods, called Fusion. In the Armory, there's a section called Mods. In Mods, it shows all the mods you have, and there's an option called Fusion which lets you combine mods to make them more powerful. You can combine duplicates, or you can fuse mods with Fusion Cores, which are special mods just for that purpose. You've probably got a mod called Vitality, which adds 40% health to your frame. I had a bunchload of them, so I fused them and now it adds 160% health. The downside is that it also costs more points to install, so just keep in mind that if you start using a new frame or weapon you'll still want low level mods available to put on it.

I'm still using the default rifle, but the article I linked says the Braton is better and you can buy it for 25k credits. I was using the Lex handgun (think .44 Magnum, very high power but low fire rate) until the Dex Furis came out as the anniversary gift a day or so ago. Those things are fantastic at close quarters, while the Lex is good for long range.

I play it. You're right, they don't do a very good job explaining things. Here's a guide I found useful for getting started: https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/80851-updated-98guide-getting-started/ There are a couple weapons you can buy with credits, but most have to be crafted. You buy or find blueprints, then build stuff with resources you find in the levels. You can also buy stuff with Platinum, which you can only get by buying it with real money. XP Locked means you don't have a high enough mastery level to get that item. You get mastery points by leveling warframes and weapons; after you get a certain amount, you can take a mastery test to gain a level. You should be able to see your progress on that in your profile. In the Armory, you can press Triangle when you have a weapon selected to apply mods to it. You've been finding mods in levels. They do things like increase damage or magazine size, or give your frame new abilities. Mods have different point values based on how powerful they are; you can add one points worth of mods for every level your gear has (i.e. a level 10 rifle can have 10 points worth of mods). Hit me up with other questions. I'm no expert but I've been playing the game and searching the wiki a lot

You realize you're referring to the guy with diamond pistols, right?

Actually, it's only on last-gen consoles http://joystiq.com/2014/04/12/you-might-hate-claptrap-in-borderlands-the-pre-sequel-and-gear/

PS4 version will include DLC http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/04/09/the-last-of-us-remastered-coming-to-ps4-summer-2014/

You guys seen this?

I can't comprehend why on earth anyone would ever play that. Or even think about playing that.

That was actualy IGN's April Fools joke.
