Again, in high definition: Destiny’s E3 walkthrough

Yeah, this looks pretty great I’m really starting to come around toDestiny. While this is more or less the walkthrough we saw back at E3, seeing it in HD as opposed to on a live stream while mentally and physically exhausted has done wonders for my anticipation of the game.

Dauntless’ second major patch brings myriad quality of life improvements

The term is even used in the patch notes Dauntless, one of the few current games that allows full cross-play between PC, PS4, and Xbox One players (and one of the few things that lets me wear sci-fi robot gauntlets, a ninja mask, and a poncho), has been chugging along.

Destiny’s House of Wolves expansion will not ship with a raid

Now we have a bit more information, like the fact that there will be no raid at launch, and the Trials of Osiris will show up at some point. Instead of a raid (which will arrive “later this year”), you’ll get the Prison of Elders, a “brand new three-player cooperative multiplayer arena.” Sounds an awful lot likeMad Moxxi’s Underdome Riotto me....
