Bit of a mixed response to Destiny so far it seems.

I've got Destiny on the Xbox One enjoying it so far. Quite difficult as well, although I've generally been doing the missions on my own rather than in a team. Game tag is adamjk0286 if anyone fancies teaming up.

Bought the Destiny PS4 bundle. I can't believe the PS4 still has the ridiculous update times that the PS3 had.

The 3 games I got;
The Last of Us Remastered - 29 minute update
Destiny - 50 mins
Killzone Shadow Fall - 4 hours !!!

Crazy. I can't remember ever having an update on my 360 that took more than 5 minutes.

Sounds like Sony still haven't put the investment into their servers if that's the case?

I'm not sure how your Destiny update took 50 minutes, the patch was less than 300mb in size - it took me around 10 mins to d/l it.
Unless you're talking about installations or downloads of full digital titles, the time taken for patches to download are all relative to your internet speeds, not Sony.

I'm hearing a lot of grumblings about Destiny, going to wait for it to drop significantly in price, by that time they may have even expanded on an 8 hour story with some free (haha, free) extra content.

It helps if you know other people who play the game. You can play the entire game in co-op and it is infinitely more enjoyable this way.
The story is poor, but certainly longer than 8 hours, and there is a ton of stuff to do once the basic story is over.
I love this game, I am obsessed with it right now.

The hunt for new and better gear, the chance to find a rare weapon, the daily updates to bounty hunts and missions. Honestly, I would argue that once you get the story out of the way and reach a certain level with your character, the game just blossoms into something on a completely different level.

I must be close to about 30 hours now spent playing this, and I'm still on my first character. There are two other classes I haven't even touched yet. I've barely scratched the surface of the competitive multiplayer, I still have a long way to go before my character is maxed out, and I haven't even touched the special 'raid' event they released last week that is supposed to be a serious challenge.

The game received another nice new (free) update again yesterday and there are a few more planned in the next few weeks.

To say it's only an 8 hour game is doing it a huge dis-service. I can't get enough of it right now.

Destiny update took me around 5 minutes :/

So which next gen would people recommend? Been going with PC gaming for the time being but I think i'll get one once the price comes down.

I got an xbox one a few weeks ago and I'm loving it. I guess it depends on what games you prefer but so far I've no regrets, Although the ps4 is more powerful I'm not sure whether it makes a great deal of difference to the untrained eye although the main attraction for me to get the Xbox one was Halo.

Really loving smartglass etc on the xbox too.
