RIP. He made the T2: Judgment Day "do-do-do... duh, duh, dooooooo" I presume?

Is Destiny even a good enough game, meaning game-play and fairness of leveling up/enjoyment without playing with a "clan" or MMO team, that it's worth the $48 (Best Buy GCU) I'd pay in Sept. for everything?

From the alpha/beta last year, it appeared to have a Halo style story driven campaign, with Dinklage in the Cortana role, but with far less outdoor big set piece action, and more encounters of three to four enemies at a time like Borderlands.

Then it also seemed to have a typical arena multiplayer, the only mode I could play was something like Call of Duty 2's three-base quick-capture knock off of Battlefields conquest mode. With only 3 bases and the fact they transfer so quickly (and with so few players per team), it means one team captures B while one captures A, then first team heads to C while second team heads to B. No shootouts ever happen.

Finally, it seemed to have a Mass Effect type home city, but at least in the beta, almost nothing was interactive, and most of what seemed would be, looked like shops only. (Not a lot of story or side quests coming from it.)

But then all I ever hear people talk about online are MMO "raids",

I mostly didn't like how the game seemed so quiet, no thumping drum soundtrack like Halo over the action.

What is Destiny?

I think a windows pc is better with 4GB than a mac laptop. more options as far as programs to clear out space in the memory, often automated.

$40 for one mission? And new class options when creating a character (something only useful to someone buying/playing the full game for the first time... or playing the entire main game over again)?

What is a raid?

I'm excited that they're adding a bit of Saints Row/Just Cause/Dead Rising/GTA-Online zaniness humor to it. They realize what people with the PC version of Skyrim love about their gameplay engine, and are now making it easier to do crazy shit without having to be an expert machinima / scripter.

Never pre-order games. It's not to do with liking the game. It is "what if" you no longer live closest to the store you ordered at, or your car broke down and you wished you bought it online, or they sold the order out from under you and you're coming home at 1AM empty handed. Orders are store specific, so you have to drive to the original GS, get your $5, then to the new GS you want.

@ngilko: Wait, what? They did it on the pre-show? Do they even archive the preshows?

Krazy Predictions:

1. R Truth will be involved in the title ladder match, thinking, if he wasn't in the briefcase one that meant he was in the title one. So he steals the belt instead of Dean after Seth wins the match. This means Roman can't cash in that night cause the belts gone.

2. New Day tries twin magic but this time with Big E switching places with one of the others and the ref being all "fuck this, I ain't blind" and DQ'ing them or reusing to count/reversing the decision.

3. Kevin Steen does the illegal pump handle pile driver for reals this time.

Anyone know which episode 5-10 months ago had him describing a hippie he saw aside the road, and created a fake background of him... playing with devil sticks in his cat-in-the-hat top-hat and drum circling...

and goes, "Guy - who I just made up in my mind - you're a real asshole!"
