Dante... whats your favorite class?</p>


 </p>


I only have a level 8 Hunter.  Fits my MMO character playstyle.  I read the Warlock and Warrior and they didn't look fun but I'll try em out.</p>

So it's a RPG?</p>

Yes... it's like WoW/Halo hybrid by Bungie.  It's been in development for over 5 years.</p>


 </p>


MMORPG Shooter</p>


 </p>


You can either play only PVE (working with groups to take down massive encounters for loot)... or you can play it as a traditional PvP shooter like Halo/Call of Duty/Battlefield.</p>


 </p>


Either way, you level up... earn reputation... get legendary gear and **** shit up.</p>


 </p>


I might switch to PC if my old WoW friends get it.  Servers are going to be massive.</p>

Don't bother. It's unlikely characters will carry over to retail. Bungie said they haven't decided but with lot of beta testing experience they usually don't.</p>

Yeah, was more to understand the system and such. And with PvP a facet, well, you can never play too many matches...</p>

Warlock for me. </p>


 </p>


Highly mobile (although the jet-pack-jumps do take some getting used to)</p>


Highly recoverable (fast heath regens)</p>


Fun powers (love the void grenade and the super blue bomb).</p>


 </p>


Most of my play is like a shock trooper or like an assault style play; High risk, High reward.</p>


 </p>


I figured I would make one of each since it doesnt take long to level and the game is WAY fun.  </p>

I thought the game itself was pretty good and worth the playthrough but the mechanics were lacking. Some stuff didn't work well and I found myself having to look up a lot of the stuff online or replaying missions in order to play the game right and make it enjoyable.</p>

Totally massive mechanical issues with the game..that's the biggest thing that needs to be fixed. I try not to cheat by going to online cheats but yah so far I have had to do it once with this game. Games visually dark...sooooo dark (which makes sense) but a little brightness adjustment on the television set seems to fix that problem quickly hehehehehehe.</p>

Just bought The Last of Us Remastered for PS4. Now I just have to wait for the 43 gb download to finish so I can play it.

This is why I refuse the digital download party. Especially now with data caps. In some areas, ( I don't know what mine is now) they cap data at 250 gig. Can you imagine downloading a game that takes 1/5 of your total data cap for the month, and on top of that having to wait overnight to do it?</p>

Not sure how ps4 is. .. but you have to install all Xbox one games in order to play them. Can't just play from the disc any more.

Does it at least install from the disk though? Or do you have to download large portions?</p>

Installs from the disc.</p>

 

[MassHavoc]

I guess that's not as bad then, but still sucks. I think PS4 does this too now though or at least has the option for better performance or something?</p>

You can also do it remotely. Buy it online while at work and it will be ready when you get home. They also have it set up for day 1 ready play on pre-orders. You basically download the full game in advance but it's not playable until launch.

As for caps, neither AT&T or Comcast really enforce their caps. Comcast only does so to people who are well over the limit.

This is what I have done. Also, pre-buys will install automagically. </p>

Last of Us Remastered; BEAUTIFUL!!!</p>

For PS4-ers, there is also a streaming PS3 game service where you can rent games from 5 hours to 3 months through a virtual PS3. Been playing Dues Ex : Human Evolution this way with little issue (had one disconnect, but I think it was local). Not a wonderful library yet, but a few nuggets in there. No Mass Effect 2 or 3 so I am still crying like a little girl...</p>
