+ Posted by DeeJ on Jul 07, 2014 // Community Manager, Bungie

It’s Bungie Day. You want information. You want answers! You want the truth. Here goes…



If all you need from Destiny is a grand adventure that sends you to the stars in search of your own personal legend, we’ve got you more than covered. If you’ve played Bungie games in the past, you’re not prepared for the scope and the scale of this next-gen shooter.

However! If you crave more ways to express your inner Guardian, we’ve also got you covered. Destiny is all about collecting loot, after all. The treasures you claim on your missions will enhance your experience. They’ll make you a unique warrior in a brave new world worthy of heroes. They’ll deepen your understanding of the journey. This is as true for the Guardian that kicks alien ass it is for the player that drives them forward.

Be you a Guardian or a collector, there is a version of Destiny for you. Check ‘em out.

Destiny Limited Edition


Humanity has been searching the ruins of our Golden Age for Guardians – heroes capable of wielding Light as a weapon. You have just been found and given a vital mission: defend our home, drive back the forces of Darkness, find a way to awaken the Traveler, and Become Legend.

Destiny Ghost Edition


This is your Ghost. It sought you out for centuries. It found you, dead and forgotten in the ruins of our civilization’s violent Collapse, and it brought you back to life to protect us all. Defend our home, drive back the forces of Darkness, find a way to awaken the Traveler, and Become Legend.

Contents:

  • Limited Edition SteelBook Case and Game Disc
  • Ghost Replica: This is your motion-sensing Ghost, featuring lights and audio from the game. May it lead you through the Darkness.

Destiny Expansion Pass
Expand your Destiny adventure with brand-new story missions, cooperative activities, competitive multiplayer arenas, and all wealth of all new weapons, armor, and gear to earn. The Destiny Expansion Pass includes Destiny Expansion I: The Dark Below and Destiny Expansion II: House of Wolves. In The Dark Below, you’ll discover an ancient tomb has been unsealed. Beneath the surface of the Moon, a dark god has answered centuries of prayer, and a dark army has risen. Explore the true depths of the Hellmouth. Stop the dark Hive ritual and survive.

As an added bonus for PlayStation platforms, the Destiny Expansion pass will also include additional exclusive content for Expansion I and II that will remain exclusive until at least Fall of 2015.

Of course, every preorder of Destiny is deserving of special rewards – even if all you want is the game we’ve always wanted to make at Bungie. Your commitment to become a Guardian on Day One will gain you favor with the Vanguard Quartermaster in the Tower. This is not the only way to earn Vanguard items – but it’s a jump start in the arms race.

Want a closer look at all of this?

To unpack all the details, our friends at IGN are joining the Bungie Day party. Watch as they open the box that contains your bright future. All month long, they’ll be helping us tell the story that leads to the Destiny Beta, and the final launch of the game.

Haha actually they are. Everything about that game is set up for me to love it. Except for the scathing challenge level which just turned me off.

I'll definitely be streaming it on PS4 though. I'll point out all the flaws in the game (aka bitch every time I die).

Coming from someone who has it but has yet to play it, I look forward to it. (the stream, not necessarily playing the game)

 
Just got back from walmart and got a big box of Pop Tarts and some wii u eshop codes. I'm pretty hype right now

I want you to stream Bloodborne when it comes out. I think you're gonna love the game.
 
I resigned myself to the fact I was getting a collectors edition of Destiny for a while now, have just been waiting for their announcement. I rarely buy special editions, I even passed on both versions of Borderlands 2 which was my favorite IP of last gen, but I'm committing to this. I'm probably even going for the Ghost edition. I'm just really hyped about this game.

Plus that Ghost is much better than that cheap plastic chest of BL2.

When I saw Primus I actually got the tix free from a radio station contest.  Actually won tickets to see Silversun Pickups at 1st Ave that exact same night, which happened to be my birthday.  Ended up picking Primus because Les Claypool is a god and SSPU was new and I wasn't into them nearly as much as I am now (they're my favorite current band probably).  I even got my wife to come with me even though that's not really her kinda music.  She appreciates good bass playing though, since I'm a bass player.  I believe she may have even said Les looked a bit sexy slappin tha bass at one point.  Drums & Tuba was the opener.  Never heard of them before but it was pretty interesting.  Literally was a tuba player, a drummer, and a guitarist with lots of looping equipment.  Don't regret my choice one bit because of the whole bass god thing and the seats were like 3rd row or something.

Nah. Trophy hunting is kind of like cunnilingus. Sure its fun once in awhile, but I've got more worthwhile things to do with my time.

Whoa, wall of text. Only Velo can go on this long in this thread ya heard?

 
Sweet, Tyler confirmed I'm the champ.

That Destiny LE is something I want, but literally every single LE/CE I've ever bought, I've regretted. I'm hoping it pulls a Halo and you'll be able to get it for dirt cheap down the road.
 
I was super pumped to play Steamworld as soon as I got off work, and come to find out I didn't charge my Vita and the battery is dead. Talk about a real bummer. I guess I'll do the responsible thing and go grocery shopping instead.

Do I really need to be in this thread for Frisky style copy pasting?

This thread is the exact same thing as that thread. The only difference is the OP is different and now we don't have to hear whining about being off-topic.

Besides that, it's the exact same thing. Most the chatter will be about video games but if a few guys want to talk about Oreos they're now welcome to without any fear of moderation or people bitching them out later or in other threads.

Did you know that you can play your Vita while you are charging it? All you have to do is plug the charger into the bottom of the Vita, then play it while the cord is attached.

With the Nyko powergrip, you'd never have that problem :whistle2: And don't forget the Oreo's.

 
I may Day 1 Destiny since everyone is going to be playing and talking about it, but I'm just gonna go with the Vanilla version for $48 + $10 Reward Zone cert, then play and flip back to Best Buy. Probably grab a GOTY edition later next year to get to the DLC.

 
Primus is definitely in my top three favorite shows I've seen, along with Tool (when they were new to the scene) and Pantera. I don't get to many shows anymore these days. When I do they're usually not metal shows, my mosh pit days are over.
 
what do you guys do with your CEs once you have them? display them? all I've ever done is put them in a cabinet until I'm all like 'what the fuck did I buy, off to ebay you go!'

I have three big ass boxes in my crawl space where they all reside. Once we decide to sell this house and get something bigger, they'll all go in my man cave.

I'm the same. I have the Max Payne 3 and Bioshock 2 ones from super cheap discounts on them, but they just sit up in my collection room that I never go in there.

That's exactly what I do, which is why I regret the purchase later. When I was living at school, I'd have stuff displayed, but now it just seems weird.
 
So last night, I popped in my new Vita memory card, and expected this big ordeal. Everyone is always bitching about how it's a pain to switch cards. It took literally 15 seconds. You guys are such babies sometimes.
 
My attempt to catch up:

Red Rocks looks stunning in pictures, and I would love to see a show there.

Mint Oreos are awesome, but the best are regular ass Oreos.

Rebecca Black got a career from singing on youtube.

David Gilmore announced a new Pink Floyd album is in the works. First album since 1994's Division Bell. It's going to be called The Endless River.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best news I've heard in a long time.

Zimm108 said:
Division Bell > Momentary Lapse
Click to expand...
I agree, although I love both. Division Bell is a more cohesive "album", with a very clear theme (and supposed hidden riddle called: The Publius Enigma) I have a very deep emotional connection it. Momentary Lapse has some GREAT songs though. Learning to Fly and One Slip, being my top picks.

Of course Pink Floyd without Roger Waters isn't really 'Pink Floyd', but they are damn good David Gilmour albums.
 
I think Tyler's right..this game is going to be the death of me and I've only gotten to 1-3..anything from the shop I should be buying to help out? Also pretty sure trophies are out of the question for this game.

I went to a Marilyn Manson concert a couple years ago just because I knew it would be entertaining...ill continue to stick to my more calming music from now on..

I have the Borderlands loot chest on the kitchen counter as a candy chest. Most of the other stuff is nowhere to be found. I do display a few things though, like the giant Cartman Grand Wizard.

Get a cape or a jet pack. That's really all you need.
 
I might just keep my 8GB card and use it for smaller downloads. I was planning to just get rid of it after I was led to believe it was some big process to swap them in and out.
 
Other than rave/events/shows I havn't been to a real concert in almost a decade. I used to see Bowie, Trent Reznor(NIN), Manson, Dope, Rob Zombie, Mindless Self-Indulgence, Garbage, Maynard (A Perfect Circle/Tool), KMFDM, Raymond Watts(Pig/MDFMK). but that was when I was 16-19 and I could jump and mosh etc. Goth chics were super hot back in the day and I was into the whole fishnet/black dyed air, now it's all emo/scene/idk. My girl is chilln hippie, I wouldn't be depressed enough for a goth chic anymore. Punk chics were crazy annoying. oh wait we were talking about music...

i bought a pink floyd dvd called syd barret's first trip or something. i have no idea. pink floyd/wizard of oz combo ever?

Dark Side of the Moon was epic
