We originally had this little feature lined up with our First Impressions, but Bungie had to go and extend the Alpha testing period, didn't it? Nevertheless, Destiny's surprise first look is sadly over now, and it's time to tell us what you thought about it.
If you've read our aforementioned preview, then you'll already know that we were blown away by how well realised and polished the game appears to be. From the butter smooth gunplay to the slick RPG mechanics and addictive loot systems, it's safe to say that we're already sold on the House of Halo's latest creation. But what about you? Are there any additions that you'd like to see in the full release? Anything that you would change? Cast your votes in our survey, and detail your thoughts on the Alpha in the comments section below.

Got in the Alpha late, because of vacation - but was happy I got to play yesterday. I love it. Can't wait for the Beta!
Really fun, solid enjoyable experience. Destiny was not on my want list prior to the Alpha but I have since pre ordered it.
I have a genuine question about the game: can you play as a female character?
@get2sammyb I think if I remember correctly that was one of the options when setting your character up. Im sure it was race and sex. There was 3 races available. I rushed through that part though as I couldn't wait to play, but Im sure someone will be able to confirm if that is correct!
@get2sammyb Yeah it was definitely an option, just remembered it was select a class then select Race/Gender
I put my impressions into a solid writeup in the forums in the Destiny thread for those that are interested, but short: I friggin' loved it. Can't wait to play more of it. I wasn't so excited for a shooter since... since... Battlefield 1942 (that's like prehistoric times for most of you internet kids).
To be honest I was looking forward to this game but I don't think the alpha is all that great. I'm gonna have to see more and especially more of the single player before I make up my mind
really enjoyed the Alpha... game was not on my list but got in early with the Alpha and spent alot of time on it. Really enjoyed joining in with other players to do some of the missions... a top game! cant wait for the release now. have pre-ordered and looking forward to the beta... bring it on!!!!
@get2sammyb I sure hope so!
Otherwise I have no idea what the hunter I was playing could possibly be...
@Mrskinner @get2sammyb Yep, you choose between three races (essentially human, human-like alien, or robot) and then pick a gender. I have to say that the Exo (robots) are by far the coolest looking of the three.
@ShogunRok Agreed, I had a robot for my character, just looked the best of the 3!
Personally I loved the awoken. They're just so #fancy!
@get2sammyb YES you can play as a female charactor
I can only watch as I'm from UK. But from watching video gameplay and trailer this is one game I'll pre-ordered with white PS4. September not far of!
@bbq_boy Did you know that the Alpha was available in the UK? Don't tell me you missed it thinking it wasn't!
Based on feedback from the alpha I will have to pre-order and sign-up for the beta. damn.
its a day one purchase for me ..whish i can find a store to pre-order it so i can play the beta
Day one purchase for me. Sadly I couldn't sink as much time into it as I wanted cause of the World Cup and work but what I did play I really really enjoyed and I am not a big FPS fan. I can't wait till we get a Pushsquare squad going, I have a feeling this game will be a blast in multiplayer.
@get2sammyb Yes, you can play as a female in all three classes: warlock, hunter, titan.
Brilliant game, some very nice gamplay features like the ability to fight alongside fireteams you're not a member of - so fireteams can join up to create big showdowns and challenges in co-op mode.
Destiny is the perfect replacement for people who miss the Co-op and MP of Resistance 2.
Missed out unfortunately, looking forward to the Beta though. This is my most anticipated release for the rest of the year and Bungie has never let me down before so I'm hoping it delivers with this one. Impressions after the Alpha seem really positive, so good start.
I didnt like it very much, just not my style of game I guess.
I have pre ordered months ago. The Alpha was really great! I just it was longer and you could level up to 10 or 12 instead of just 8 (I just wanted to keep going and going. WOW!). I hope they offer a Collectors Edition. I know the Glacier White PS4 Destiny bundle is a hot pre order on Amazon and it will do very well. They should offer a free Destiny skin for the PS4 (the bundled version Glacier White PS4).
Cheers!!!
