Destiny Is Almost Here

Destiny releases on September 9th and I can't think of a title in recent memory that I have been more excited for. I have held off on watching too many of the newer trailers or seeing any new posts because I don't want the game to be too spoiled for me outside of what I played in the Alpha and Beta, but honestly the wait for the next 2 weeks is going to be too much I feel.

Destiny ad campaign at Times Square is impressive to say the least.

I am not a big fan of first person shooters, generally I am not too good at them but on occasion I like to play some FPS titles. Destiny has been one that I have really gotten a high level of interest into, partially because of the same kind of shoot and loot style of playing and rewarding that made me like the Borderlands games so much, but also for the world that Bungie has carefully been crafting for the last number of years. I am excited to get the game and start playing with my brothers and friends, in both the Story mode and also in Explore; just roaming around those gorgeous maps is something that I really can't wait for. As far as Crucible, well I am sure on occasion i'll try my hand at some versus but it's not my bag. I am in this for the story and co-op so I am pretty sure I will stay away from that mode.

The Warlock is going to be my go-to character class.

I'm excited to dig into the game but with a new baby on the way am not too sure how often I will play. However, I do recall many nights with my son where I would be up with him in the middle of the night and could not sleep so i would cradle him in my arms and then still hold a controller and play some Mass Effect or something of the sort. I'm sure it'll happen on occasion.

I can't wait to explore Destiny and while I may not have as much time to sink into it as others, it's going to be a title that I treasure for quite some time, I can feel it.
