I feel your pain. I've spent so much time on the Moon just farming helium it's become a chore.

"Video has been removed as a violation..." I've always wanted one, but they're too expensive for me to justify.

When is the patch supposed to happen?

It's a perfect example of how it should go. Hopefully we can get it done before they patch the "furthest people back teleport" part. You're right about the Venus/Praetorian thing. That glitch crap sucks.

http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/2jijdh/why_i_think_the_destiny_community_and_bungie/ So in my life time I've played a lot of video games. I've played endgame of a long list of MMOs and was a hardcore WoW raider for a while, along with being VERY into FPS, closely following arena style FPS, such as Halo. Destiny is so great because it's a great mix of the two styles of gaming! However, there seems to be a vastly different understanding of the game between the Destiny community and Bungie. The more I think about it, I think I understand why it seems we aren't on the same page. When I first started playing Destiny and jumped into the main story it felt very much like a shooter. There was a definite Bungie style to it. The more and more I played though the more and more MMO elements I started to see. I began to get excited because, hey, I love MMOs and FPS's, so this is a pretty cool mix of both worlds. Now as a 29 Titan who raids once a week I'm beginning to see the lack of endgame PvE content. It's a lot of grinding, and while I love grinding to an extent, this almost feels like that's exclusively the endgame. So I began to think to myself "I wonder what Bungie thought players were going to do during endgame? Surely they didn't think we would do nothing but grind?" But then it hit me. Bungie develops FPS arena shooters. When they made Halo people spent HOURS playing the same levels, playlists, etc. They're used to that being enough for people, and actually being praised for it. I feel Bungie honestly thought Crucible was going to be the driving force of this game. That's what they've always done, why change the formula of success? Here's where I think the schism is. While I enjoy Crucible and the arena style aspect of their brand of FPS, the style of Destiny inherently draws us away from Crucible. It has an addicting loot system, which causes us to look for the best way to find said loot. I honestly think it's a clashing between the PvP system and the PvE system. Bungie thought Crucible would keep us happy, where the way the game is built causes us to want more PvE endgame content. The Destiny community and Bungie are looking at the game through different lenses. Hopefully Bungie see's this now and begins to add more content for PvE, because I feel a lot of people are already beginning to be burnt out (not me personally, I love this game haha). TL;DR Bungie thought the Halo aspect of Destiny would keep us happy, but instead got us addicted to their loot system which was lacking. Edit: I see a lot of people saying Crucible doesn't have a lot of content compared to Halo, so that couldn't be the case. I'd say the argument could be made that the replayability that Halo had with the extra features was thought to be replaced by the PvE experience (which doesn't replace it.)

*It's too hard to compare a game like Skyrim to Contra. I used to love play Combat on Atari, but how do I even rank that game with these games? So... it's just a list of my top ten in no particular order. 1.) Skyrim (PC) 2.) Oblivion (Xbox 360) 3.) Morrowind (PC) 4.) Black Ops 2 (Xbox 360) 5.) Super Street Fighter II Turbo (SNES) 6.) Diablo II (PC) 7.) League of Legends (PC) 8.) Mass Effect 3 (Xbox 360) 9.) Contra (NES) 10.) Super Mario World (SNES) Honorable Mentions: Mario Kart 64, Mario World 64, Golden Eye 007, and Need for Speed: Most Wanted.

Very nice thread and list. I'll post mine tomorrow.

Absolutely. We need to organize this shit. What is our ideal team lineup?

^ Nice

I think the only form of multiplayer Trine offers is local co-op.

A quote from someone with the Armamentarium. "Dear Punchbros, The Armamentarium is your friend. Not only does it have 3 universally balling mods, it rolls with a metric fuck ton of discipline. The one I got the last time he was selling chest engrams has 147 maxed out. Yes, this means I have 96% grenade cooldown with my other gear. You know how many rockets you can carry with thing? 7. No need to use field scout on your launcher, get the heavy payload perk for BIGGER FUCKING EXPLOSIONS. Murdered half the country side with rocket fists and you're out? Punch them with buckshot! Or lasers! You carry more ammo for every special and heavy gun (except ice breaker) in the game. Guess what else? The discipline makes the relic shield cleanse recharge even faster. Become a more valuable glass raider and carry the relic to victory. Punch your enemies the way that Kabr intended, with the bodies of their friends fashioned into a murder death shield. Aesthetically, this thing is fucking banging. Why look like a wimp ass power ranger when you can have a chest piece decorated with bullets, bombs, knives, and more bullets? Let those fucking gregs know who's boss when you stick his captain in the face and then stick him too because fuck grenade limitations. In pvp this chest piece is godlike. Striker lightning grenades are guranteed kills in control (fuck that weak ass pulse shit). 1 blast is enough to deal 90% of a puny guardian's health and that shit blasts a huge ass cone 3-4 times. If you're a resident of the thunderdome then why only stick one person when you can stick 2? This shit is like Halo 3 all over again. Also sick dance parties and getting high on voidlight grenades. Combined with a gun that grants grenade cooldown on kills, you'll rain lightning death upon your enemies that would make Thor jealous. The Armamentarium is universally good. No matter what subclass, encounter, pvp or pve, heroic or cosmo patrol, this item is always good. Take it, upgrade it. Cherish it. Go forth titans, and carry the spirit of MISTER TORGUE in your hearts. And always remember to ask yourself this one question. EXPLOSIONS?"

I'll send you my Christmas list soon. Seriously though, I hope you end up getting one. I'd love to play some games with you.

I've got the Blacksmith shader, as close as I've found so far. But yeah, I'd love to have a Black/Red combination. Maybe a Black/White one too.

Not sure who all here has played Trine or Trine 2, but I've dabbled with it a bit and think it's pretty cool. It's almost like a Lost Vikings type of game where you have 3 characters with different abilities that you use to figure out puzzles. Here's the wiki on it, "Trine is a side-scrolling action platform and puzzle video game, developed by Frozenbyte, originally released in 2009, and is now available for Microsoft Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and PlayStation Network. The game takes place in a medieval fantasy setting and allows players to take control of three separate characters who can battle enemies and solve environmental puzzles." Anyway... Some news... ------------------------------------------------ "We are now officially releasing the Trine Editors on Steam for Windows – and to celebrate this, both Trine Enchanted Edition and Trine 2: Complete Story are free on Steam this weekend 16th-19th of October. The games are freely available for everyone to install and play through their Steam Library for the duration of this weekend, so remember to tell all your friends who’ve always wanted to try the Trine games, but have not done so yet! The games are also available for purchase for a juicy sale, 80% off until Monday 20th!" http://www.frozenbyte.com/2014/10/trine-trine-2-free-weekend-and-editor-release-on-steam/

When I heard about shaders, I thought that I'd be able to pick what color I want for each piece of armor, I'm very disappointed in the shader aspect.

I've moved my steam game folder to my TB drive... thanks for the heads up.

http://steamcleaner.tikione.org/en/ Has anyone heard of or used this before? I just found it on Reddit. Thoughts?

Thanks. I'm going to give it a try.

So... you getting a PS4 or what?

Definitely looking forward to this. I've hated the PS4 UI and library design from day 1. The music thing is kinda cool too. Not sure how often I'll use it, but it's nice.

I'll be picking up the same tonight after work. I'm definitely looking forward to using it. It has more light and armor than my current Queens Guard Plate.

LOLOLOL

The one at 30 seconds was great, lol

I signed on, downloaded the new PS+ games, but couldn't play Destiny. Not sure what's up.
