Destiny Alpha Opnions (Only a hour or two in)

So, I thought since I'm not sure where to post it and presumably Bungie reads this forum, I've give me thoughts about the Destiny Alpha. This is only going to be short but I may update it later. The Good: Solid Gunplay and action. The AI are intelligent so it makes for a good fight, the guns feel weighty and powerful, all in all solid Systems of gear and leveling are good and fun when you learn them. The bad and what to do about it: I'd say the game needs a better tutorial. Now I've slept since I started, but I'm pretty sure at the beginning the game did not even tell you how to fire. We all know how to do so having played shooters before, but what about the person who never has and gets eaten up by Fallen? Even if it DID it does not explains the myriad of things about The Tower, what strikes or PVP are ETC. Now, to all of [b]US [/b] who know games like this well that is no issue, but Destiny is a new IP and as such some people may not have played shooters before and would be jumping into this blind. Such people need direction especially if this is their first shooter. However it's [b]also [/b]important to not patronize the players who don't want it or have played shooters before. Suggestion: make a better tutorial covering things like leveling, what to do in menus, ETC. Second, MAKE IT OPTIONAL for those of us who want to figure it out, or do what you do already and just have it pop up mid combat or shopping. Third, make it readable in the options menu in case you forget something. That's all I have for now, when I play more I will add more.

  • As others have noted the game so far has been very polished. I did encounter a one oddity when playing the game in the free roam mode though (I forget the region though as I think I missed the name): while fighting through enemies they started in the range of level 7-9, then I entered a building where the enemies were all level 4, and go down a tunnel inside this building to promptly get crushed by " level ??" enemies. As far as I could tell the only entrance to the building was through the level 7-9 enemies, so it seemed like an odd progression.
