Did you guys know that the ship that periodically docks at the tower is actually "not there?" If you try to jump or stand on it, you will fall right through. That was the first time I died in the game. Lol.

I am so humbled by all of the kind words and helpful criticism over the last three days. Everything i've been sent by the gaming community over the last few hours have been amazing.

actually the beta had TONS of chests, not sure you explored much, granted the loot they drop was crap though

You know, someone in the Kotaku UK post mentioned that a map would be a good idea and I agree with that.

Bungie needs to add proximity chat.

Halo 3 Cortana is best Cortana.

This whole 1080p bullshit is getting out of hand. I have an idea how about make a game that is enjoyable to play. Is that to much to ask for? I play decade old games, and I still have fun. Graphics don't mean everything. I appreciate great graphics just as much as the next guy, but it doesn't make or break a game for…

This is complete bullshit. If he didn't rape someone, he should absolutely defend himself. People are raped and it's horrible, but people are also falsely accused and that's also an injustice. These things come down to pure "he said, she said" and that's what makes them so difficult, but an innocent person…

Again, no one is telling me anything I don't already know. I may in the future build a Steam box for my living room but I am rather burnt out on the "gaming rig" phase of my life. Yes, I know it sounds lazy. I did the ultra high end, water cooled, overclocked, latest, best reviewed, highest quality components system…

Just hope, my friend. Just hope.

I completely agree, I also appreciate how protective he is of giving away too much about the game. I get the impression he wants it to be a huge process of discovery for each player.

Sort of like he's getting us a birthday present and he doesn't want to spoil it for us.

...That guard is taking a piss, right?

The game definitely had its share of flaws; malaria, repetitive enemy checkpoints, tedious driving, bland missions. But it also had some interesting ideas such as the Buddy system or being able to manipulate the AI.

Fair enough. "Winning internet arguments" is never really that high on my priority list either, so cheers. :) I respect your opinion even if we disagree.

Elephant raises trunk up above head at wrong time and it's new nickname will be stubby.

"It kills the immersion for me."

What are you saying? You could ride a woman in the previous game.

But it doesn't have any women, why bother even playing it at all?

Then don't buy it. Simple. Failures from past experience shouldn't stop people from pushing new technology. The majority of users are online all the time anyway, so why should they hold back to cater for a small minority?

YES!!!!!!!! No joke, this was my design and I thought it would never come to 'light!
