Early Twitter reactions to 'Destiny'

It's launch day for Bungie's epic new game Destiny. It's already the recipient of broken records like "most expensive game ever made" and "most video game pre-orders ever." But is it any fun? To get the very first reactions from gamers and critics, we turn to Twitter. Here's a cross-section of Destiny reactions.

"Firefly" and "Castle" actor Nathan Fillion already seems to be a fan.

Rapper/actor Common got to play Destiny early at a special red carpet party thing that Bungie hosted Monday night.

Common was joined at the event by his friend, "True Blood" actor Joe Manganiello.

As for the general public, early fan reactions are overwhelmingly positive.

The urge is understandable, but where's the parenting, people?

It's not all rainbows and kittens, though. Yikes.

This French site has laid claim to supposedly have "the first official Destiny review." Too bad they didn't like it. (They fail to mention that they played it before Bungie's servers went online.)

Unlike that last one, most critics are taking their time with "Destiny," since its unique, always-online nature made it unwise to review early. So instead of day one reviews, some are posting "reviews in progress." It's kind of like live-tweeting without Twitter.

Here's another.

Britain's The Mirror doesn't have the greatest reputation, but their behind-the-scenes piece is (surprisingly) worth reading.

And here's how Bungie is celebrating launch day. A life-sized Skiff has landed outside the Bungie offices in Bellevue, Washington.

Have you played Destiny yet? What do you think? Does it live up to the record-setting hype? Let us know in the comment section below.
