So I was reading through the XBox One Shark Tank (never go there jesus christ  ) and people were saying the console cannot do 1080p for any game due to limited eSRAM or some poo poo. Yet, I read in the OP here that Destiny will be 1080p by launch. What's the deal?(Maybe it's 1080p with 60 fps that the XBox One is incapable of performance-wise and Destiny can run at 1080p because it is at 30 fps natively?)

Zedsdeadbaby posted:The traveller is a beacon that helps the darkness pinpoint where to go. It wasn't being chased, it was guiding the darkness to the last remnants of humanity, who were previously lulled into a false sense of security, so they wouldn't attempt to flee. Mass Effect kinda already did this with the Reapers controlling evolution in order for development to occur along predictable lines. I'd much rather the Traveler be a benevolent entity. Something that itself is one of a few last remnants of an ancient civilization that also fought the Darkness. The Traveler searches the galaxy for civilizations yet untouched that it can hopefully ascend into something that can finally stand up to the Darkness. Since goons just have to have a grimdark cynical twist in all their plots, it turns out the Traveler has been doing this for aeons simply as an ancient relic of its programming. It is tragically a pointless effort, as most of the galaxy is already dead and the Darkness is now too vast to realistically contend with. Humanity's only hope is to find a way to escape the galaxy unnoticed to start again somewhere new.

SlimGoodbody posted:Thus leading into Destiny 2. I could definitely see them running with something like that, even though I like the hotel tone they've struck so far and hope they continue to keep the theme relevant to the rest of the story. I'm pretty tired of all my fiction being about the pointlessness of everything and how we're all incompetent. There's enough of that permeating every other aspect of reality right now. Right there with you. It's pretty silly that unless that theme is present, the masses seem to handwave anything else away as poor writing or just plain camp. You know, at one point society actually gave a poo poo and was optimistic! The 1960's were a thing that happened! All of Destiny's trailers point to an optimism despite overwhelming odds. That's what gripped me about the game and it's what I hope they stick to despite any criticism of depressed internet nerds.

Yeah, I once bought some chinese PS2 input adapter for the original XBox because I was far more skilled at mouse and keyboard FPS games. I immediately went on to repeatedly headshot dominate my friends in Halo 2 and within an hour they houserule banned me from using it against them. It really does provide an insane advantage once you adjust the sensitivity to the right spot so that it feels the same as your PC's mouse.

Tx2005 posted:Anybody want to run The Devil's Lair with me? I just tried a pubbie run that was awful. Not all pubbies are bad. I ran with two last night who completely carried me through it. I was level 7 in mostly white gear and I was paired with an 8 and a 9 who clearly did much better damage. As hunter with double-jump I decided to play medic instead and run around like a mad man reviving my team mates and then hiding in dark corners like a coward while they did all the killing. Apparently levels and gear really do make a big difference in PvE. At my level and gear, it was basically an exercise in futility trying to kill those shielded captain guys.

Zedsdeadbaby posted:Couple of pages ago, but totally. The astonishing thing is that Activision has announced it has already made back $500m on it after just a day. So the servers have been phenomenal. I think it's really important to call out how smart of a decision it was that a developer finally focused on endgame quality first, as opposed to the typical approach where they pour all of their heart and soul into designing the leveling up game and world with the endgame being an afterthought. People always, always, always breeze through the leveling content.

Mr. WTF posted:How are you getting that volume of marks/coins/motes in that short a time? If I am reading his post right, he is just saying that you only need to get to the numbers he posted to obtain the gear you need to be end-game/raid-ready. My assumption is that he himself "shot caves and fell off cliffs" to get to 200 marks / 13 coins / 23 motes, but that you don't need to keep grinding beyond this as long as you spend this amount correctly between Xur and your class vendor. Unless he's just trolling and does have a better farming method and is just being a dick and holding out on us.

Just pulled my first exotic last night!  In fact, there's still so much left for me to do and experience.
The people with no jobs that poopsocked this game for days on end since launch and have somehow run out of content/progression before Bungie could even start their timed events are not the normal audience. Do you guys know what a bell-curve is? It's you. You are the ones on the far far far far FAR right side of the graph that are referred to as outliers.

Wow, gently caress exotic bounties. I finally pick one up and it's "do the Phogoth strike." Ok, easy enough... Then it's "kill 500 Hive." Sure, I'll just go to the Temple of Crota entrance farming spot. Now it's "gently caress You Buddy. Have fun killing 500 guardians in the crucible using only void damage. OH! Almost forgot... Getting killed yourself removes progress, so really it's more like thousands of kills as long as you maintain a positive K/D!"  What... In the ever-living gently caress Bungie?

Harrow posted:I just wonder how much the legendary engram thing hurts people's perception of the game's level of grindiness. I actually do think that if legendary engrams were blue but still dropped as often and still decrypted to greens/blues/legendaries at the same rate they currently do, the entire narrative would shift. After all, it's a lot more fun to have a pretty decent chance for an engram to be better than it appears than to have a pretty high chance that it's worse than it appears, even if nothing at all changes except the color of the engram itself. You are probably right. Having played launch Diablo 3 and being essentially classically conditioned to hate the color yellow, it's definitely a design mistake. For those unaware, launch Diablo 3 had an auction house system where you could sell items that you found on the auction house to other players. Blizzard realized that in order for items to have any value whatsoever, getting a perfect roll of stats on rare gear had to be a very statistically "rare" thing when you've got millions of players slamming the slot machine at all hours of the day. If too many good items dropped in the entire gamewide population, they would have no "value" and flood the auction house with easy-to-acquire best-in-slot gear, which of course would make progression all too easy and destroy the entire endgame. As a result, rare gear (and legendary gear too) was always garbage when it dropped. Everybody eventually had a sinking feeling in their stomach when they realized "okay, there's essentially a few hundred of these best-in-slot weapons that I want on the auction house right now, out of the millions of people playing this game... and that means my personal odds of finding something comparable are... yeah... basically equivalent to winning the lottery. "Destiny is a far cry from this. Honestly, enjoy the progression while it lasts. That's the whole fun of the game!

Lame Devil posted:I'm trying to do this hand cannon headshot crucible bounty and having a hard time. I do fine in crucible with my trusty assault rifle, but not doing so hot with the hand cannon. I know some people swear by it, so anyone have any tips for hand cannoning the crucible? It's a twitch skill so it's hard to give advice other than "just keep training that muscle memory." However... What seems to work for me is setting my crosshairs at head-level when aiming down sights, then just letting my left joystick do all the repositioning work when a target comes into view. This way you don't accidentally veer up or down as you might if you were adjusting your left/right aiming with the right joystick. Just sliiiiide to the left... Sliiiide to the right. The autoaim assist in this game seems to work wonders using this playstyle, at least in my experience.
