Plus we go check out the social space known as The Tower

The folks at Bungie gave Destructoid full access to theDestinyAlpha just before E3. You may remember thatI wasn’t all that excitedfor the game the last time I saw it, but having full freedom to do whatever and being able to discover things on my own has really changed my opinion.

I’m way more excited forDestinyagain now, and you’re able to see why as Max Scoville and I play nearly an hour’s worth of the open world aspect known as Patrols. Plus we went and checked out the social space hub called The Tower at the very end of our playthrough.
