I hope they include 'The Shepard.'

Now I hope my Guardian farts, with multiple responses from my ghost.

Any combination of more than one of the GameSpeak actions of Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee is a win in my books.

I think it is either that, or the slow clap is a sort of automatic response to another Guardian slow dancing. I prefer your idea though. Kinda reminds me a bit of Fable.

Yeah I didn't think of it as an automatic response. That could be interesting too, but I would imagine you'd have to be standing completely still for the automatic response to trigger. Otherwise you could easily troll other players.

If you look at the control scheme from E3 slow clap is not on there, meaning there are probably multiple "pages" of gestures, which should appease certain forum members (I tease, I also want more than four). If slow clap is an action I would imagine they have some other pretty original ones.

Dance party!

In the SPACE MAGIC! vid, during Joe's dance party, notice the Hunter slow clapping in the background. I thought that was pretty awesome and hilarious!

Nice catch - I missed that! Pretty good stuff. :)

I wander a way with my hard earned loot which I appreciate and see a weaker player scurry in a pick up something valuable for myself, I'll salute them, and disappear over the horizon ready to dive into more action with my fireteam.

If I find someone gloating about some gear they have in a "look at how awesome I am" way, I hope there's a shrug emote.

I honestly have been neglecting it to finish some single player games.

That's very interesting... in some ways, it opens the possibility to approach the game from a completely different angle: as a scavenger. I wonder if we'll see players who base their entire playstyle on stealthily following the action from a distance, staying close while avoiding attention? Very interesting indeed.

I concur. I understand that this is just an impression and all but I must say I would find this very surprising if true.

I'm going to reference history because its what instantly thought of when reading what Wu mentioned. It sums up the context of my concerns.

In Feudal Japan - after battle a Samurai would often need to bring a head to prove to the Lord he served that he (or she) had fought in battle so that they could be paid for the deed. After a time some Samurai got wise and would come to a battlefield after the fighting was at an end - cut off a head on a dead body - and go to get there reward.

This later resulted in the odd practices "Formal Head Viewing" to prove that the head cut off was indeed alive when it happened. *Ech*

The Point?: If this mechanic in Destiny is just based on a moment of participation in a event - then the "glory" of that event may risk being diluted by those who want the reward without the work.

That kind of oversight doesn't sound like Bungie to me, nor the type of game they want to make.

Polygon interviews Pete parsons

I'm intrigued by the "people watch" comment. I might enjoy doing that. But what's to keep me from stealing unearned loot?

It's a private loot stream, so it's impossible :).

I should have said getting unearned loot. No matter, I'm playing the game, right?

I asked about this, in a roundabout way (I think my question was more along the lines of "are loot drops after battles proportional to the work you did?") and while I didn't get an answer, I got the IMPRESSION that you get what you get just for being there. So yeah, watching is good.
