On what platform shall you Beta? (reply)

You know. That's a tough question. I'd like to beta with friends who have a PS4 but would also like to see how it runs on Xbox One also. Having both that makes my choice on beta a tough one.

Course I'm buying it for both anyway when retail hits so ultimately it's not going to matter when retail hits since I'll be playing on both.

But the real question is... (reply)

Heh, a nice closing statement from Deej on this topic:

"Gnoizic So, should we expect big things for Bungie Day this year?

Sure. Bungie Day is about the entire Bungie Community at large, so we’ll do something special that everyone can enjoy. At the same time."

Your face when, come Bungie Day, the PS4 still has exclusive Beta access, but you get to partake in other community stuff with "the entire Bungie Community at large" on Bungie.net. Your face when, come Bungie Day, "that everyone can enjoy" is them hooking back up the webcams and streaming themselves playing Destiny on PS4 while you, pete, are left to watch.

Haha just kidding. But damn that would be hilarious (and highly messed up, which would also be pretty hilarious [to me]) if they trolled you so hard. :P

I also realize I come from the "knockdown drag out fights followed up with laughter and possibly beers" school of discussion.

Best possible school.

FWIW, as an unflinching Xbox adopter the second I heard Bungie would be exclusive to the platform, it certainly rubs me the wrong way. But as has already been pointed out here, we Mac gamers got over that mess back when Marathon 2 was hot shit.

The only thing that would really bug me would be platform-exclusive gear or content.

SRS. (reply)

360 as well, hopefully 'inspired' enough to UPGRADE to PS4.

That's what I'm curious about (reply)

I'd love to be able to switch and forth for whichever crew is on XB1 or on 360.

It'd also be fun to check out the differences.

Well, clearly, the friends that MATTER will be on 360 for the beta. :P

Seconded. :D

Bit of a tangent re: choosing platform (reply)

I'm just going to tag along in your fireteam and listen to you two talk about music and stuff.

SonofMacPhisto — Thu, 08 May 2014 18:20:50 +0000

but I'm 95% sure I'll be grabbing it for XBOX One because that's what the friends are doing.

This line made me smile. A lot.

It's going to be beautiful, my friend.

You make me laugh. (reply)

Potentially, yes, but maybe it's a good idea to keep my powder dry until i know whether these preferences amount to anything substantial.

Yes, you're right - better to wait for real slights than to react to imagined ones. Maybe some breathing exercises will help....

Homeworld Remastered. It's coming. I can't wait.

Me too, meeeeeeee too. I've been watching videos on YouTube, just to sooth my excitement.

It depends on how many of my friends are on XBone at that point. I intend for my final purchase to be on XBone, but if I have no (or very few) friends on that platform at beta time, I'll go for 360. On the other hand, if I have enough people on XBone to reliably form up a fireteam in the evenings, I'll go that route. Problem is, it's hard to say how that will pan out very far ahead of time.
