Game mechanics and the community (Destiny)

I'm curious - why do you feel you need to know ANYTHING before going in?

They're holding an open beta - you just need to have a preorder in place to get into it. The preorder costs nothing - and you can cancel it before release, so it can CONTINUE to cost nothing in perpetuity.

The cost of entry is ZERO. Why do you feel you need to know details before trying it?

And even if you think that just DOWNLOADING AND PLAYING is something you shouldn't have to try without some additional information... why not just skip the beta and read the reports from the people who didn't?

I understand the INTEREST in getting info up front; we're all pretty impatient. I simply don't understand this NEED.

We are nervous because of the muddle. That's why it matters. If you are making a great game you are excited and proud of, you should be able to explain the basics and let folks know what it'll be like. Bungie hasn't really done that. It's not like they've said nothing. That would have been fine. The problem is they ARE trying to describe it, but it's very wishy washy. Why do they feel they have to be vague?
