Gross!

I bought Destiny at release, played for a few months even raided and PvP'd with goons. It was a lot of fun doing those two things, but after a while I couldn't take the repetition it seemed in the goon group people were dropping out. They also had had enough and so sitting alone in the game with just farming to do was too boring, so I left and everything I've heard about Destiny since has been negative especially that emote poo poo.

But people are buying it anyway and so there's going to be a Destiny 2 and in 2020 D3stiny is going to be coming out. Now I know to just not buy them anymore unless they change some major gameplay elements to better suit my play style which won;t happen because people are still enjoying the game. I guess it's just not my thing.

I also tend to not buy games at release unless I've seen youtube people play them and I can see what the actual game is like and not the cherry picked scenes the publishers give to E3. Also I tend not to rely completely on reviews because "games journalism" or whatever doesn't have integrity so it basically isn't real.

I wish people who played video games weren't such insufferable pieces of poo poo that trip over themselves to be consumer whores while bleating loudly about their entitlements and their rights and their loyalty to the developer.

It's a company. You are a customer. Stop being SUCH FAGLORDS. It's embarrassing to play video games because of these people. They are 10x worse than the shy DnD nerds of yesteryear. Those dudes were probably just as bad but at least they didn't plaster their lovely opinions over everything.
of course, let's certainly never speak of the game even once, casually on a comedy forum. oh gently caress it's everywhere stop it's getting in my shoes send help

i never bring the game up to someone unless they mention it, and if they say they had a good time i don't feel the need to vomit on them while screaming epithets. sorry to break your immersion

I must win every thread in GBS. I don't care how much banal semantic quibbling and shitty posts it takes.
I got Destiny when it was released. I really liked it for awhile, but I hit a wall when the game expected me to grind the same areas over and over to get minuscule upgrades to my gear. Plus, the raids don't have matchmaking which is dumb as well. The gun play is good, but the game play isn't. There are only a handful of levels that you are expected to play over and over and over again. It sucks.

I am not sure how they expect to get 10 years out of this lovely game.

Yeah that's a game that gets dicking around and getting nothing done entertaining. Hell, it's even fun to fail because the guy who killed you gets promoted and works his way up the orcish org-chart

I'm not sure if matchmaking would work because one bad player can keep everyone from progressing in the insta-kill sections and based on my experience with the websites, a significant portion of players wanting to run the raids have no idea what they're doing.

Matchmaking would work if they allowed voice chat because, like WoW, you can stop before the insta kill sections and tell people the strategy.

Yeah, I'll probably buy Destiny 2: Destined Harder if they make an effort to make the level 20+ gameplay decent instead of a boring repetitive grind because at the end of the day blowing some fucker's head off with a single shot from your handcannon or scout rifle felt :rock: as gently caress but I hell if I'm going to do the same raids over and over again to maybe get the equipment I need to level up on my 15th run. Up to level 20 I had an absolute blast and could barely tear myself away.

I bought the game plus season pass in advance. I haven't even tried the house of wolves, I gave up long before that. Come the 2nd or 3rd week I was at the grinding stage. Hell, I love grinding in games but most grinding had a payoff. In this game you just seemed to be grinding for the loving sake of grinding. The only thing that really made it playable for me was the social aspect of dicking around with my friends online. From what was available in advance it seemed like it was going to be the WoW of FPS's. It is very much not like that at all. The occasional events like the Queen's Bounties and Iron Banner were enjoyable until it was just Iron Banner over and over again. What's that? You want to play PvE well here's some more PvP events for you! All in all I got my money out of the game though so I can't really complain. It wasn't bad, but not a memorable game by any means.

If you play Warframe long enough, you can earn nearly everything and the few things that are random drops you can either pay for or trade for. Destiny will force you to pray to the RNG gods no matter how much you demonstrate your loyalty to King Bungie, though if you show up on the right weekend he might deign to offer you table scraps for some other RNG based tokens.

That might possibly have changed since I stopped playing before the first expansion so someone feel free to correct me.

Also Destiny is not on PC at all and Warframe heavily favors the PC version, if that matters somehow.

Oh, and Warframe at least randomizes maps and poo poo and has better modes to pick from unless you want to PvP all day. But I think there are much better PvP games than either.
