You mean the sewer to the west of the east gate? Or the sewer to the east of the southeast gate?

Meet me at the sewer gate north east of the main gate >.>

What's wrong about it? Or just because it's Hitler suddenly it's all dangerous and bad?

I am burning!!! Arghhhh!! LIGHT!! NOO!!!!

My grandparents didn't exist when IBM was founded.

Fucking nuts. Google is older than some of the members here. . .

My best sex experience is the time I was a pet to a mistress. Fun was had, but life pulled its strings to make it brief. Besides that, my sexual life is nothing exciting. I haven't had straight sex, ever, and well, the kinkiest stuff I did was with my mistress and was mostly self-pleasure or guilty humiliation.

Seriously, what's up with people and the $500 million dollars? First of all, that was money to establish a new IP, franchise, product line— call it whatever you want, but it's not exactly Destiny's sole production money. Secondly, they didn't spend all that money on Destiny, it's also the same money that will be spent on future installations of the franchise. Can't people just stop brandishing that number which was used by the press for a lasting impression? Lots of money comes, and goes within a studio, and only people inside, and directly involved with Bungie know the specifics about that, nobody else.

So $500 million dollars and we still have a terrible level design flaw or programming flaw.

The feeling of drab environment probably comes from the lack of NPCs with life-like simulated activity, not necessarily from the environment itself. However, you want to keep things the least expensive possible when it comes to creating a multi platform game like Destiny. Especially since it strives to achieve a really similar experience from one platform to another.

I hear what your saying but surely, surely, a few planes with a simple diffuse texture applied to it wouldn't be taxing or take up hardly any memory in a game that was a 7GB download.

The lifelessness does bother me but not as much as the drab environment does. I do understand your point though some of the details I would have liked to be implemented would involve scripting, model animation etc etc.

On a slightly different topic, I have a similar interest in the making of games. I'm addicted to watching all the tutorials I can on Unreal Engine 4 on YouTube you should check them out if you haven't done already. Also Substance Designer really interesting to watch.

Think about it in a positive manner; you aren't the one who shelled 15€ to watch it with a decent amount of popcorn and a cola to digest a friend that laughed at the stupidest jokes.

What the... Oh god.

Found it. It's called Couples Retreat. My brain completely removed the movie from its memories, only to hunt me back now. Here's the IMDB page of this.... Movie... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1078940/

Eh?

There are many kinds of Christians out there. Which Christian group feels persecuted exactly?

I do not have any remarkable experience that is worth sharing, to my regret, at least, not yet. I consistently develop my programming skills primarily, followed by creative writing, design, some 2D and 3D art, of course some different engines and producing small mods focusing on specific objectives. By that statement I mean that I focus myself on multiple areas of game development, but I do not necessarily have the talent or skill that someone dedicated in specific areas has.

My aspiration is to actually become a game developer, and to develop games. Meanwhile, I do have a clear focus on programming, my belief is that learning, and understanding the whole picture is a better approach to that goal than focusing on my single area of comfort.

Oh? Could you explain, do you have experience, knowledge, and the like, I'm curious.

I loosely remember being dragged by a friend to watch a bad movie that starred a bunch of Guitar Hero developers before they got canned...

Destiny won't. Destiny 2, will.

My favorite Pokèmon.

I find the game fun when it comes to combat, and doing things in general with a bunch of people. However, when it comes to the story... I think Bungie should have put more effort on creating a long-lasting story, rather than adjust it around to level 20 and claim that the game "truly starts at level 20"

Using Halo games which feature a discreet number of missions or campaign levels Bungie hasn't made any tremendously long campaign. I never expected Bungie to make a main story longer than maybe, 15 or 20 missions in the first place.

However, being used to RPG games, I expected there to be a truly open world, letting me explore around the levels, and have missions with meaningful NPCs. Bungie has the resources, and talent to  create a truly open world to fit that vision, but instead they went with this semi-open sandbox.

There's no feeling whenever I do a mission. I don't get to like the various characters, because I don't really get to meet those characters. Sometimes, I even feel distanced from my own character, because she never says anything, nor she expresses anything besides a few one liners.

Bungie's Oni, Halo 3: ODST and even Halo: Reach to an extent had characters with personalities. I don't see why they couldn't do this in Destiny. Certainly, various characters may have a personality, they may have a line of thought, reasons and story behind them. However, the grimoire, and the lack of text, voice and interaction with these characters leaves a lasting impression of lacking personality.

Why is my character even fighting the Fallen? When did my character even receive the basic training to shoot those Fallen in the introduction in the first place? Why the sudden heroism? Does the character even remember his own past? Are they haunted from having lost everything in their life?

And how come is the introduction the same for all races anyway? There could be more sensical introductions for different races. A human perhaps, makes sense for them to be in the cosmodrome— perhaps in an attempt to flee the Darkness on the first available ship, but what about the others? It doesn't make sense an Exo would be laying around there, perhaps the Exo could have been forgotten in a jungle filled with Fallen, or the Awoken could start from an abandoned ship that eventually crashes on Earth.

I am just throwing ideas here, and by all means, they are not necessarily good ideas, but I think Destiny has a rich world that can feature thousands of hours of lore, story and events, and yet there's this need, this strife that begs of me to ask questions such as "What is everything? Where are the answers to my questions? Who's my character? Why should I help the traveler?"

And when this happens, it means that the game hasn't fulfilled its role on that aspect. It means that the game failed to deliver that lasting impression that can only be achieved by something that is truly complete.
