Managed to get a couple hours on with Pilchard this morning and ripped through the Earth missions. Well, more like Pilchard ripped through them and I watched, dying occassionally! laugh

Your team all get the same XP for the missions though, so I'm now at Level 8 already! biggrin

Mine arrived from Tesco. Headset smells awful, not bad as such, stuck it on Facebook/Gumtree though. Probably better than your average TV speakers.

Need to re-do all the Beta missions now.

Just done the first Earth mission and I do find it really odd that other players (who I don't know) are also running all over the map blasting some of the aliens for me - something to get used to I suppose.

I quite like it so far, loot system is cool but I liked that from the Borderlands games too

I'm just off to look now, but is there an online manual for this game that anyone has found and can link too?

It's basically Borderlands crossed with Halo. That's what I got from the Beta at least. I can't wait to get playing with friends again.

Blimey, you do a lot of stuff from in-game on the actual Bungie.net website if you sign in using your PSN ID. Stuff like decrypting gear, equipping gear, reviewing things in the Tower, etc - very cool

Yep, haven't even opened the box yet though - will likely trade it in at CEX.
I'll probably do the same as I have no use for it either. It will mean that I'll have to collect the package from the village shop though, so won't be getting on tonight. frown

Just getting to grips with it, seems pretty cool and can understand why you need to play some in co-op.

Don't have a headset currently, so not sure if that makes a difference.

Can you play off line, I prefer gaming solo?

Also, I have been putting off buying a PS4 because of the lack of a killer game - is this it?

Is all online, so other people are running about too, you can play by yourself if you want though and just ignore them. Clearly as it gets harder you will need to play with other people to progress.

PSN = Speckle. Signed up to the PH group/clan thing

Really enjoying the game so far but, I'm pretty useless!! Looking forward to trying some missions as part of a fireteam rather than on my own.

Do I need to add everyone in this thread as a PSN friend?

No game waiting for me last nigh when I finally got in. Rubbish! Quite unimpressed considering I pre-ordered it on 14th August.

Not sure as the "PH clan" doesn't seem to be recognised as such yet (the game / website tells me that I'm not a member of a clan), so I've started sending friend invites out to those folks who have posted their PSN IDs on here - hope you all don't mind wink

Also I noticed that some features / stages require you to subscribe to Playstation Plus including for example creating your own Fireteam - anyone know what that is and should I be bothered and how is this different to inviting your friends to tackle a stage with you? I'm not currently on Playstation Plus but could be persuaded if I'm missing out (£40 a year)

Cheers

Forget this update - I had to set the group to be a clan on my profile on bungie.net - my error
