Very cool (Destiny)

What I was able to do was really fun (up to Gatekeepers), and having the difficulty cranked up with Contest mode was definitely what I like. It really forced us to iterate and make those small adjustments that add up to success.

The mechanic changes were cool (I'm excited about what I've read about Gatekeepers/Atheon) and seem pretty natural. The improved graphics and sound were great - the thunder echoing in the distance as the encounters ramped up was especially noticeable, and not something I remembered from the original. Being forced to warp through the door at the end of the jumping puzzle was a little disappointing though, did that happen to everyone?

I’ve seen footage of that door opening in the new version, and it looks awesome. Not sure why we all got the Joining Allies thing, but it was a bummer to have that happen on the first run.
