[QUOTE=Vexer]Actually no it DOES NOT require an always-on connection for story mode, you can easily play through that by yourself WITHOUT a connection, you only NEED to be online for the multiplayer aspects like raids, strikes and PVP, which is stuff I personally don't care about anyways, so there's no way in hell i'm cancelling my pre-order.[/QUOTE]

In not sure where you're getting this information, because it's completely untrue.

We're not talking about Microsoft or Sony. We're talking about Bungie--specifically, their game called Destiny, which is an MMO that is always online. There is no offline mode, nor will there ever be.

Hmm. Well, I looked it up. Turns out that you are correct - no offline, single-player mode.

It is an MMO it has been marketed as a MMO.  I have pre ordered it.

Though I have to say I have already put 14 hours into it.  I played the Beta release and that is why I decided to buy it.  I have also played it on 360.  It is a good game.  It sort of made me think of Mass Effect 3 does as a MMO.

You've conflated the terms "single player" and "offline." An internet connection is required.

I put this post that this game had to have an always online connection because I knew what I was talking about. I wasn't going to post false info.

Well that's slightly disappointing to here, but I still don't see that alone as reason enough for me to cancel my pre-order.
