I, as many other Guardians, picked up Destiny on day one, and have sunk 500+ hours into the game since September. I used to count down the hours until Xur would arrive in the tower with shiny new Exotics for Guardians to buy, but since November Xur has become less relevant to most Guardians. Which leads me to the question, is Xur relevant? When Destiny first launched on September 9th I, like many other Guardians across the world, stayed…

Bungie will be releasing the next patch, Destiny Patch 1.1.2 sometime in the next…

Over the last couple of months, Reddit user Megamanexe4 has managed to data-mine Destiny and successfully leak Xur’s stock over a number of weeks. This prediction fell flat a couple of times when Bungie changed Xur’s stock at the very last minute, right before he was due to arrive in the Tower. ‘How does this work?’, you may ask; Megaman has posted a Q&A to answer all your Xur-and-Destiny-related questions, revealing what really happens during those changeovers, and hinting at…
It’s no secret that Destiny players can glitch into locked areas of the game – they’ve been doing it since launch. Now, ahead of the House of Wolves expansion pack, a number of players have managed to get into the location of one of the new Strike missions on the Moon, and were kind enough to give a small tour of their findings. The first location featured is called ‘Dusk Warren’, located on the Moon. According to user ‘Rob85M’, the…
Sign Up for GamenGuide’s Newsletter and never miss out on our most popular stories. We’ve seen impressive Destiny Raid runs that combine solo attempts, no weapons, speed, and other factors. Another entry makes a mockery of Crota’s End, with a player soloing the Raid in just 16 minutes. Cities: Skylines Review Roundup: Is This The City-Builder You’ve Been Waiting For?

Destiny players who need to keep their health up should check out the wares being sold by Xûr, Agent of the Nine, this weekend. The mysterious vendor has returned to the Tower, and PlayStation and Xbox owners can grab the Red Death Exotic Pulse Rifle.

Bungie’s Destiny live team has outlined its hopes and priorities for the 1.1.2 update that is currently being coded. The team cites increasing vault space as a key objective, meaning that players who accrue items won’t need to micro-manage their inventories so much. Writing on the Destiny blog, community manager David Dague also cites Raid bugs and Strike difficulty balances as goals for the next update. Meanwhile, further in-game display and audio options will allow players to better customise the…
The post-apocalyptic first-person shooter was developed by Bungie. It was the US studio’s first release after quitting the Halo series. The title attracted mixed reviews, and its relatively bare-bones plot continues to divide gamers. The award surprised many in the audience at the London ceremony as it had not won any of the other categories it had been nominated for. However, Bungie’s skill at crafting alien-slaying gunfights appears to have helped it seize the top prize. BBC Newsbeat’s Jonathan Blake…
Destiny is one of the the most polarizing AAA games of its scale in a long time. Just mentioning the game in a busy room brings up mass cheers and boos, often dividing a space and creating a huge cacophonous argument where no one gets out alive. I’m usually in the cheering side of the room. I believe the game to be a unique console experience and if I had access to it all the time, I’d be putting in…
