some shit happened that didn't matter, you killed gods but that didn't matter, you're the most devastating weapon in the universe but that don't matter oh no giant space turtles are here now go kill them too bless up
I really don't like the Borderlands/Deadpool bait character. I even like the characters in Borderlands 1/2, though there's a lot out there that find it a bit cringe-y, but this is just blatant bait to draw in those crowds.Jokey robot man was, I think, introduced with the same update where they replaced Peter Dinklage's VO with Nolan North's. The Borderlands crowd didn't need baiting. Not many FPS loot games around.
I might buy it a year later when it goes on sale, but my hype for this is really tempered after Destiny.
karas story is funny bc it sets up the plot, but you don't need to know anything that happens afterwards, bc literally nothing important happens. there's bad guys everywhere and you shot some of them; the end.
In the future humanity is visited by a Stanisław Lem alien that uplifted the species to its high water mark. Everything is pretty cool, stuff that seems like magic was everyday reality, long live Leto II, blah blah blah.'
Unfortunately a Lovecraftian horror was also out there in the universe and it didn't seem to care much for that alien. It showed up in Sol System and brought about an end to the high water mark of the species.
The stories say that the two fought and in the final battle the alien banished the horror at the cost of its own consciousness. That was a long time ago and frankly you should be skeptical of the events described. Humans don't even know why they built sentient robots in their own image anymore, let alone the history of beings that defy our limited intelligence.
Whatever actually happened, humanity and its sibling species (the aforementioned robots and predominantly space dwelling abhumans) live a fragile existence from pockets of minor security in a universe that they understand very little of. One of those pockets is a city that lies in the shadow of the alien, now humanity's sleeping god. Its military is the resurrected dead, chosen by automata that answer to the god no one can hear.
Sounds like shit's pretty fucked, why bother with a standing army when you don't know why your talking tractor is a sentient being, right? Turns out that this wasn't the first time the alien and the horror played a little rough with their ant farms. The ants from those farms are here too, each following after the dynamic duo. They all have their own agendas, unfortunately exterminating the natives is the common thread between them. It turns out that gods are beheld in different ways by different beings.

you only play ten year old games anyway MMaRsU. You're welcome to join us in 2026.This is true
can't watch bc work so can I get a cliff notes version?
You're forgetting high moon studios (those Transformers games) as well. I think last time info popped up a year or so ago Destiny had like 3 different studios and something close to 600 ppl working on it.remember when people were all aghast "how could bungie go with activision?!?!?"
Gotta use the Battle/Blizzard client to play this. Dunno what that means for Steam.i had noticed they changed the app to accommodate non-blizzard games in a recent update

Can't imagine anyone willing to play the game is also unwilling to install Blizzard's client. The game is pretty much a guaranteed hit, too. No incentive whatsoever to profit share with Valve.

Though they should have kept the name battle.net imo, Blizzard App is lame-o.Marketiiiing. :shakefist
Between Starcraft, Overwatch, Heroes of the Storm, etc. a lot of people are already grandfathered into and using it too. It's almost like somebody suddenly went "wait, we already have our own Steam!"I know, right. Although I remember thinking it was weird when they opened Battle.net, and then later on made the client (which iirc was for WoW only at the start). But we got used to the name, and probably will this time too. I like having all my Blizz games in one place though, especially since I play more than one of them.

Nothing in the game was 4v4

There's been some really questionable choices surfacing through various interviews. Seems like they're doubling down on the PVE aspect even further and leaving PVP on the wayside

The reddit is filled with people with similar issues. Destiny 2 about to get sent back to the drawing board before it even began

Bye, have fun in lawbreakers
Random weapon rolls are no morealso from piecing things together i realize now that playing through the intro is intended not only for some familiarity with the basics but to give you an exotic drop for your class, they probably just swapped out whatever is supposed to be there storywise (without playing it again i assume it's where they give you your first weapon in the story) for it which explains why what you get looks absolutely nothing like it and in the case of the hunter is a pistol while the art asset is a rifle :lol
Unlike the original game, every weapon you collect will have the same stats as any other of that type (so every Sunshot Exotic will be as powerful as the next you find), director Luke Smith told Mashable.
This means Bungie can balance weapons easier, but on the flipside, it gives players less incentive to keep collecting weapons to try and get the perfect editions of their favourites - something which Smith acknowledges as a potential problem it hopes to solve in the game one day.
I'm getting this on XB1 because demi is a hard carry.

This is fucking amazing so far and I'm only at the beginningI guess I'll start playing it tonight. I only bought it this early so that my nephew could play it.
So is there a Bore Destiny clan or group or something? I kinda doubt it since like 4 people post here frequently.

267 light, pretty much raid ready doing all the post-game quests
Yup, simple solution: play the campaign and everything is unlocked! Sweet!
281 light, nothing left for me beyond farming exotics or making a second character. Just gonna wait for reset and do what I can before wednesday
https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/21544216_10155062867243473_892742361082901119_o.jpg?oh=346868a2e1526858ef172a43d6763117&oe=5A5F8A0E
But when you do obtain an Engram, there are two key bits of information to be aware of.
The first is that there's no sense in holding onto Engrams, as their Power level is determined when they're dropped. In other words, grinding your level or Power up before decrypting an Engram won't have an effect on it. In fact, by waiting, you may end up finding that it's underpowered relative to your current gear, forcing you to waste materials to infuse it in order to bring its Power level up.
Better yet is what Destiny 2 project lead Mark Noseworthy confirmed on Twitter recently: You no longer have to equip your best gear when decrypting. The game automatically determines what your best possible loadout is and uses that figure when dictating the Power of an Engram. As a result, you're essentially free to use whatever gear you want--you're no longer impacting the strength of your drops by using a lower-level piece of gear you prefer.
Just read Destiny Reddit, this kind of info is posted twenty times over.
Also none of this is new info for D1 vets, my bad! Welcome to Destiny!
In Destiny 1 you needed to equip your top gear before decrypting, now you just need to possess it
Mods didn't exist in this form at all
It's not very different than D1, I still equip my highest light before decrypting engrams out of habit
Yes they are consumable. You will get lots of mods from engrams. Sometimes purple, usually blue.
Eventually when you hit 280 light, you can convert blues to purples. Purples have the +5 modifier so this can be the edging point to get you to that next tier of gear.
Some drops from purple engram with a +5 mod installed, that's why the egnram will say for example 275 but drops at 280 instead.
Exotics have a +5 modifier by default when you get it.
Infusion can confuse people as well because of mods, you might discover that infusion a higher light item into a normal item causes that normal item to be -lower- than what your original piece was. This is because the item you were infusing did NOT have a mod installed.

OH MAH GAWD. THAT WAS ALL OF THEM.
holy shit that's blatant. fuck everyone on the team who let it through
The raid.... Isnt good. Holy jesus they need to redo this quick.
Man, im so glad i did not buy this. Generic mmo shit aside at least the raids had some sort of novelty in Destiny.

Is mic talk not necessary? I don’t want to talk to randos.
Intro stuff is long
Seems like once you hit ~260 power, it takes longer to find more powerful gear. I flew to 260, but I’ve only gained 4 or so points over the past 2 days.

Matchmaking in raids lmaoooooo
Not sure what you mean. The purple mods you see at the bottom are the ones you can convert your blues to.
If you want more void shit blow your money on the blue slot machine and hope you get void shit.
Seems like Dead Orbit is going to be the biggest faction again
FWC has the best weapons
New Monarchy has the best looking shaders this time though
Like what? End game stuff? I've really enjoyed what I've seen of campaign so far
I'm partially tempted to install the original and give it a spin just to compare. I own it, I just never played it. Is unlocking everything/getting to level 20 about as quick as in 2?
I gotta get my shit together and get to level 20 tonight / this weekend
Yup, its a huge disappointment versus Destiny 1. Went back today because all the PS exclusive are now on Xbox and its a completely different creature. PVP was fun!
Got mylightpower up to 246 this weekend, hopefully gonna find some peeps to do nightfall with Wednesday night if anyone is up for it, otherwise I guess I'll try the guided games thing
"Who knew that the cure to my addiction to Destiny 1 would be Destiny 2..."
anyone here picking up the PC version this week?
Fair warning: Rat King is dogshit lul
I still havent done a Prestie Raid. All my Destiny bois dont bother to play this game now. Destiny 2 is such a disappointment that it pisses me off thinking about it.
I saw a good quote on reddit:Quote"Who knew that the cure to my addiction to Destiny 1 would be Destiny 2..."

I have a friend with over 2k hours on Destiny 1 and he started playing it again because Destiny 2 is so disappointing.
It is hard to reconcile my experience of buying destiny 1 and all the expansions for $20 bucks with paying 60 for this, but I guess I’ll probably keep doing a few things every week until I get up to the cap. Might even make a second character, have only ever done warlock — what class y’all like?
Titan: Only good for double pulse nades (they're that broken)
Warlock: Just run Stormcaller, Voidwalker is good
Hunter: LMFAO dogshit
Arcstrider + Raiden Flux is better for ads
Tether got nerfed hard, its practically useless
I had a hard time getting into Destiny 1. Probably never would have stuck with it, except a bestie in California is head-over-heels for it, so it was our go-to co-op experience.
I'm actually enjoying Destiny 2, where the Public Events and side adventures have added to it. It also feels better balanced, overall. There's likely some very deep game balancing happening that's not visible to players at this point.
The guy that went back to Destiny 1 after declaring 2 a failure is almost certainly falling prey to judging Destiny 2 on 1's merits, critiquing the game he wished he'd had, instead of the one he's got.
Its not an "endgame" exclusive issue. Theres a bunch more bulletpoints involved.
Nope! Though those were remedied pretty easily in D1.
Here's a good start:
https://imgur.com/a/XSre0
Destiny 2 is supposed to be the culmination of everything they learned over the 3-4 years D1 was up.
We got what might as well be the outsourced D-team's vision instead. Its seriously mind boggling.
The fact that they went with that key art of 3 human characters when the game is filled with Cabal, Vex, Fatass Calus, nova bombs and the like. Who is this aiming for?
But why does it have to be fixed? It was already there!
My stats for reference:

Hunters were a godsend in D1 raids. Find an LFG post begging for a hunter now. Hell naw. They're trash.
So were Defenders and Sunsingers - they even nerfed those too! Didnt change a thing though, Titans and Warlocks OP as fuck yet again
Anyone getting the PC version tomorrow? I was impressed by how good the beta ran and looked but all the negativity following the first week of the console launch is tempting me to not to pick up my pre-order and wait to see if it hits like $30 on Black Friday. :-\
Seems like a game that lives and dies by who you play with, I hope the PC community is sustainableI'd say chances are it is sustainable by sheer numbers i.e. D2 selling gangbusters and the excellent word of mouth due to the PC beta - the only argument against that would be the lack of endgame incentive right now I guess

Xbox
What the fuck you were doing Prestige Raid without me? Add me - demi
That'd be $40, though, right?Is this game good? Should I buy it for $30 next week on PC?Is this a thing?
Ahh, well, if you end up going through with it next week and it's just a Battle.net code in the box and you're interested/willing to help, let me know your Paypal and I can send it over in advance. Can't imagine it going lower than that by the end of November. If not that's cool too, no biggie. :)
Yeah, it's just a Battle.net code.
I'd be willing to help you with that!!

Target is doing a B2G1 free in games next week. I have access to the discount. I was gonna but three games, return two and keep Destiny 2 for the prorated price or try to get a group by going with two other people. The lack of end game is worrying. I didn’t have the best time with the first game as far as the content grabbing me. The feel of the game was great though, but that’s never been a Bungie issue.
Trailer is hype the need to FIX THEIR FUCKING GAME PLEASE cause if I do a god damn new raid and get tokens im gonna scream
i was on last night. i did 2 strikes and i was just exhausted of boredom.
in D1 i would be farming strikes for the hopscotch like god damn i need that gun man
i've been playing my PS4 lately so i dont really read messages on xbox much. i do read the xbox app occasionally though.
I'm available any time after 5pm (est) weekdays, weekend anytime.
those kids were dogshit you should have bailed
Nah fuk that shoulda booted that VGLegend kid like god DAMN, lmfao
welll if you need one just msg me, i'm legit the best
Is this shit worth it, I keep seeing posts saying if you're not with a group this game is booty.
Wait till they fix their game first. This game is Division 2 instead, lul
I will carry you fucking spergs for cryptocurrency, lewd pictures or forum tribute. Warcock#1844. Make me feel like a twitch star for a day :-*
Edit: Hunter feels shitty compared to the other classes. Is it just the arc subclass? I just feel like my tool kit is restrictive as fuck and my melee does not hurt. How do i get golden gun?
Beat the new raid just now, got a grenade launcher
Grenade Launchers are dogshit dude, idk what to tell ya. They're about as fun and useful to use as sniper rifles in this game
Yeah I got the colony and threw it in the vault with the prospector. Every other grenade launcher just gets scrapped.
Man, im so glad i did not buy this. Generic mmo shit aside at least the raids had some sort of novelty in Destiny.
Today is an update to help with the sandbox, make characters move faster, make guns hit harder... etc
Not the game-saver but it will get some people on to check it out.
I played a couple heroic strikes while waiting for Sea of Thieves to work, didn’t really notice much difference
At least they finally are balancing pve and pvp separately. Should have done that a million years ago.
D1 had great armor, unique perks, OP perks, all of that. People just hated that you needed a "God Roll" to even compete, which is extremely far from the truth.
Destiny 2 was designed for dads with no time to play games. Most of the "big streamers" from D1 came back to the game for one day and left just as disappointed.
At least they finally are balancing pve and pvp separately. Should have done that a million years ago.Especially since the modes are entirely discrete from each other. There is no instances of friendly fire, there is only the crucible. There is absolutely no reason to try and tie PVP to PVE.
soooo i dunno, mebbe at $5not doing anything wins again :success
I'm like an hour and a half in and holy shit this campaign is dull
i love how it's just this linear path that you can't speed up or anything except mashing esc on the cutscenes, which doesn't help for all the scripted crap or when you're hurt and plodding along a path for what feels like an hour, also how it just warps you to new parts as you hit the triggers rather than being a real connecting scene/map switchsoooo i dunno, mebbe at $5not doing anything wins again :success
I finished the campaign. What a weird fucking game. Every level basically boils down to walking down a hallway for a few minutes while expository dialogue plays, clearing a few waves of baddies that spawn out of monster closets, and then doing that three or four more times. I had heard people praise the 'lore' of the game before, but there was literally nothing in the story that pulled me in or that I cared about since the whole game is so aggressively generically video-gamey. The art is impressive from a technical standpoint I guess, and it performed really well no matter what was going on on screen, but Jesus Christ is it flat. The whole art direction feels like a director in Hollywood asked his prop guy to design him a fake alien game for a cutaway shot, and then the guy got carried away and spent 300 million bucks on it

Literally all the "interesting" bits of lore are relegated to armor fluff and D1 Grim cards. All of that stuff was written by the head bungie writer dude who quit/was fired before D1 even shipped when he had this big world bible for the story that never happened. Him and a couple other fantasy novel writers (one of them was a goon who has a book series now).
Bungie doesn't give a fuck about any of that or the nerds that like it so we basically just get big bad alien dude talking mean with a lot of bass in their voice that dies quickly everytime. Massive plotholes, things just fucking happen, nothing ever gets explained in any sort of meaningful way.
The strangest thing about...all of this is you can't even figure out what Bungie is focused on right now. Everything they do is a fucking mess. Story is a mess, infrastructure playing catch up to D1 still, pvp still sucks, still only one raid.
How did such an ambitious game wind up with such a bare-bones plot? Why did Bungie seemingly change so much of the story before it shipped? And how did it ship in a state that required so much tweaking after it launched? What really happened behind the scenes of Destiny?
...
the story that has emerged is one of a studio that was overwhelmed by a sudden reboot, a ruthless production schedule, and a number of other debilitating factors including the technical challenges of a brand new game engine. Bungie’s last Halo game, Halo Reach, had come out in 2010. The studio had been working on its next big thing at least since then. Despite that, much of Destiny as we know it today wasn’t actually conceived until 2013, a year before it shipped.
In the summer of 2013, just over a year before Destiny came out, the story got a full reboot, according to six people who were there. Bungie ditched everything Joe Staten and his team had written, reworking Destiny’s entire structure as they scrapped plot threads, overhauled characters, and rewrote most of the dialogue. The decision was made against Staten’s wishes, sources say. Destiny project lead Jason Jones and the rest of senior leadership were unhappy with the writing team’s supercut, and their reaction was to scrap it all.
The pre-reboot Destiny had way more of a focus on story than the actual game wound up having. “Story missions [before the reboot] always began with a Communique from a character,” said a source. “They were 30-45 second cutscenes of the NPC setting up the mission context. Osiris announcing a dramatic discovery about the Vex and asking you to dig up an ancient relic on Mars, or the Crow calling for help from the middle of a firefight with Fallen on Venus. And then every mission ended with a full cutscene, three to five minutes.”
So in July of 2013, Bungie’s leadership decided to totally reboot Destiny’s story. They kept much of the lore and mythology—the Traveler, the idea of Guardians, enemy races like Cabal and Vex—but they overhauled Staten’s entire plot, according to the people who spoke to me for this piece.
...
Joe Staten left the company during the mid-summer reboot, although Bungie didn’t announce his departure until September, 2013. Two sources say the parting was not amicable, and when I reached out to him, Staten declined to comment for this article.
One source said after they got the extension, the studio’s priority was to polish and perfect the gameplay: how the primary thing you did in the game—shoot guns— felt, how public spaces would function, how encounters worked. They prioritized this instead of building a strong story; narrative took a back seat, as did the writers themselves. “The writing team Joe put together was ostracized,” said one person who worked on the game. “The story was written without writers.”
Four sources pointed to Destiny’s technology—the tools they use to design levels, render graphics, and create content—as an inhibiting factor in the game’s development.
“Let’s say a designer wants to go in and move a resource node two inches,” said one person familiar with the engine. “They go into the editor. First they have to load their map overnight. It takes eight hours to input their map overnight. They get [into the office] in the morning. If their importer didn’t fail, they open the map. It takes about 20 minutes to open. They go in and they move that node two feet. And then they’d do a 15-20 minute compile. Just to do a half-second change.”
Haven’t gotten around to Warmind yet, any impressions?
So Bungie are charging twice now.
Once for the expansion and once for a "season pass" to access content across the three seasons of the new expansion.
$60 x 2
:trash
Pretty sure they did the same thing for Destiny 1.
Pretty sure they did the same thing for Destiny 1.
Nope, not at all. The seasonal content was paid for by cosmetic purchases and drip-fed out over the year. All you had to pay for was the expansion packs.
This time around, you need to pay for (in addition to Destiny 2 and the 2 x dlc packs):
Destiny 2 Forsaken - $60 (gives you the expansion, new world, new raid blah blah)
Destiny 2 Forsaken Season Pass - $60 (gives you the drip-fed content and end game activity, such as the new raid lairs)
In addition, you can't even play Forsaken without purchasing the other dlc. So you're in the hole for around $200 if you want the complete Year 2 Destiny 2 experience.
Yes, I finished my Titan, doing my Warlock now
completionist. its not worth doing 3 times. just do your main and leave it at that.
yo MMrasu, you still playing this?
Anyone been doing the Solstice of Heroes?
I bought the deluxe with the annual, but kind of wish I knew more about what the annual actually contains. It’s still really vague.
So good
Destiny’s story is just really hard to follow. It’s sort of nonsensical, and a lot of the concepts are not really explained.
Like the traveler, light, the darkness. They are just sort of there.
On PC so that wont help.

Guess that Humble Bundle in June-July didn't work out too well. :doge :dogehttps://kotaku.com/activision-says-its-not-happy-with-destinys-sales-1830322804
“Some of our other franchises like Destiny are not performing as well as we’d like,” the company said on today’s earnings call.
any tl;dr on how they turned things around
did they just revert back to how it was at the end of D1
so is this a good thing or not? or a no one knows yet kind of deal?
Even though Bungie is BIG and has LOTS OF MONEY, I'm still kinda blown away that they got the Destiny IP.Bungie never signed the IP over to Activision, they always owned it.
This isn't like Hitman where it's a small IP that barely sells a million copies these days and SE was disappointed in and was gonna can the franchise anyhow. Destiny is a multi-million seller GaaS that brings in tons of $$ each month to Activision. Like I'd love to find out some day how much that cost Bungie to keep the IP. Like 100 million? 200 million? More? How the hell can an independent developer afford something like that?

Destiny - Fall 2013
Expansion - Fall 2014
Destiny 2 - Fall 2015
Expansion - Fall 2016
Destiny 3 - Fall 2017
Expansion - Fall 2018
Destiny 4 - Fall 2019
Expansion - Fall 2020

If you wanna do co op stuff with your friends you can in groups of 3. Random people will be running around the hub world though but you won't have to play with themGonna get my Lunas in comp with the influx of new shitty f2p players :aahIs there a way to just play with friends, without running into random people?

On third set of solstice gear now. Gambit is the worst game mode, playing prime with this shitty gear to be matched with people using full +3 sets no bueno.I fucking hate gambit. I think it’s a cool idea, but they should offer it with level advantages disabled. I feel like there’s already enough variance with the different weapon and armor loadouts, plus the advantages/disadvantages that come from premade teams and random groups being matched together.
finished Mountaintop, hush and revoker now, so only missing Not Forgotten but that grind can wait until I'm done with these sets.
looking forward to cross save tomorrow, spent the last couple weeks using M&K and I'm fine with it. Although will most likely do Not Forgotten grind on console, as I hear that DDOS on PC is pretty high at 4500 and above.
Finally able to ditch PS4 and actually get decent load times, no bloom on hand cannons and getting rid of that awful aim assist, bring on the blueberries come New Light.

Datto did quite a good video on new mods etc.
remembered to link up my accounts finallyI wish.
I'll assume it's probably a no on copying over the folder from battle.net and hitting verify instead of redownloading the whole thing on Oct 1
I know Demi plays, but whose else playing? I’m back in harrrdd anyone else on ps4?
I wanted to try the free version in October, but a 100GB? :-\Yeah, I have to buy a bigger SSD first. :lol
New Light Free Version. Lots of content here.

Is it worth doing the account setup/migration for the free (unplayed vanilla) copy of D2 battle.net gave away or is the new free rev they are going to be about the same?
Most of that would come with any recent expansion I would get if I decided to give it a shot down the line?
I already have a Crown jacket, if I get my clear (which I probably will considering the timeframe) - I'll sell my code off
Yes, I spent all day and tapped out on the final boss as well - though it was about 2-3am so I got some sleep.
Woke up, got the team back together, and cleared it around 7pm (est) then find that tweet and we were all pissed

I dunno what they did to comp, but freelance is fucking easy as hell, played 4 hours already 3900. If you need to get unbroken/NF your time is now.I got to 2100 in one night on PC using a controller and I think before that my peak was like 1500 points.

ya, still at the mercy of RNG teammates but 5500 is doable

Solo queue would make this so much better.
While destiny pvp is bad, it was basically unplayable solo before.
Lots of Revoker and OEM mostly. Recluse is decent on console but it only really works with the perk due to recoil. I got shit on several matches, but I guess I just got a good lucky streak going, and ended on that farm.
Used 100% Solo Queue which is the best change they've done yet. Now everyone is a solo, no more fucking stacks
Have they fixed the PvP to not use the RNG RPG stats that the PvE game uses? Because that shit was dumb in the first one and still dumb in the second.
(Same shit as the Division, who the fuck thinks having "meta" gear is a valid strategy for a loot shooter's PvP?)
And at 30 frames too 8)
I'm mostly grinding to "clear my plate" so I only really need to log on when I feel like it.
I might try to do a 3 man raid boss challenge, it seems fun to try.

Is there any news on the new season, doesn’t that drop like before this reveal?
Must be a low effort one.
