Aren't most things deliberately built into a game done so for a purpose? If its only purpose is to entertain gamers with silliness then I can choose not to participate. If I choose not to participate yet cannot avoid the dancing by others, I may have to avoid the game.

With my experience in the Alpha the only place it will be very prevalent is in the Tower, people doing it in single player you can just keep going and ignore them. You will occasionally have someone dance while they are capturing a point, or over your corpse after getting an embarrassing kill, but I find that much less annoying than being teabagged.

Why does it give you the creeps?

I'm not sure but it makes my skin crawl.

Why would it be required for anything?

I don't know that it does.

I'm still planning on getting the game at this point. More out of curiosity and a nod to Bungie than anything else. I have to give up time on a game to play it, so it has to earn its place.

Just when my level of interest in Destiny improved beyond ambivalent, I found out about this dancing stuff. :(

For me, in-game dancing is the least interesting feature and actually gives me the creeps.

So far, dancing does not seem to be required for anything.

As long as I don't see this stuff in my face all the time, I may be able to ignore it. Otherwise, what a shame.

I wish Bungie included a Setting that prevents dancing from showing on my screen.

Help a poor does-not-have-ps4-brother out here. What determines the dance move? Is it random every time you choose to dance, or is it based on race/gender/class or some combination of those?

I tried searching but couldn't find anything. After all these dance videos I would have thought someone would have made a compilation of all the moves in one video. No such luck yet :)

In the alpha all your d-pad actions were based on race (You'll notice that only exos do the robot). I'm curious to see though if there will be some amount of customization in the final game for it.

“At the same time, this game is social and co-operative and so you will encounter people in the wild who you want to co-operate with. Now, maybe that’s to say thank you or to point to something or even just to sit down to indicate to someone that you’re fetching another beer, so the dance is just a little reminder that at the end of the day we are making a game and that it’s fun.”
