Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?

      This game looks abysmal, especially compared to a game like borderlands.

      At this rate, it looks like I won't be using my ps4 until bloodborne.

        Says a lot when a launch day Destiny stream switches to NHL15 WHAAAAT?

          September 9, 2014 12:42 PM

          Not really, they had to switch to a Canadian streamer and he is legally obligated to stream Hockey eh?

          Destiny stream resumes at 5 PM eastern.

          So enjoy your snark snark snark.

      Worked good for first day, tho it's not really a full on MMO. Got disconnected once during a mission and had to start it over. :(

        I think that's the most surprising thing of all. Has anyone had any network issues or did we actually get through a major launch without incident?

          I was just kicked out from a game due to network issues, but I have to say apart from that one hiccup the game was very solid for me so far. Really impressive when you think about Diablo 3 and last years Battlefield.

          Both Joe's got kicked out of missions due to disconnects. Seems to be an intermittent launch day issue.

      What's the verdict on this game? Any good?
      I really haven't been paying attention to it at all, I guess because it wasn't coming out on the PC.
      Is there any chance for a PC release? Or will this be consoles only?

      i thought everyone had boners for this game. i was actually considering picking it up and renewing my Xbox Gold account. now it looks like you're all ditching it?
