its like if it was 1996 and bungie was forging a brave new world but its actually 2015 and companies have been doing leveling better for literal decades

In retrospect, none of this should surprise me. Their 'investment' systems in the previous Halo games were ridiculously grindy and bad.

Although 343 is going for child gambling Valve style, so I guess that's an improvement?

All fps leveling is bad, I blame cod4. I just want to shoot dudes, this xp poo poo just gets in the way.

Not hard to see why they do it though, all the people who complained that Titanfall 'didn't have enough grind' :eng99:

I listen to random people in my parties get super excited because they made their light level go up one point from 306 to 307 or whatever and I'm realizing I'm not playing the same game they are.

ah, the actual shooters such as cod and battlefield are alright because theyre processual. like, play enough and you WILL unlock this thing. destiny combines the worst impulses of diablo/wow and hangs the undisputed best weapons behind luck. itd be different if bungie had the wherewithal to balance their goddamn game to the point that the gjallerhorn (in the past) wasnt basically required to beat end game content, but its fairly clear they dont know hot to balance pve nor pvp. evidenced by the continual rotation of dominant weapon classes in the crucible.

Yup. As well as "they're aren't enough guns! :qq:" when it had a fairly well fleshed out UT kind of weapon set. But because it didn't have 8 rifles, 9 SMGs, 5 shotguns and half a dozen snipers THERE ARENT ENOUGH.

theres a legit complaint to be had about content in titanfall. it did need more weapons (among other things), because really, you leveled up poo poo so drat quick

:shrug: I mainlined the shotgun after playing the game for 15 minutes when I discovered how wonderful it was so variety wasn't an issue I had. Gameplay was solid and fun as gently caress, I didn't need twice as many guns. More maps would've been great though.

100% it was a thing. It had prestige, but it didn't have 'enough grind'. Not remotely kidding.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

Fallen Rib
i feel like games could be better served if they had easy access to a fair ladder system, so the 'grind' becomes improving your skills and climbing the ladder, versus trying to obtain 50 guns of which only 5 are probably any good. I played poo poo tons of Action Quake 2 when it was popular and that game had 7 guns but the gameplay was so good and it was easy to get into a ladder. Same with OG TF and pretty much anything before the lobby system & unlocks became popular.

the grind system works for casual players because they get a sense of accomplishment out of dinging a level where as that poo poo bores me and i wish it'd go away

Titanfall was fun as gently caress. Problem with that game was it really needed a new map and 2-3 new guns/powers/titans/whatever a month to stay fresh or at the very least a 12 vs. 12 mode. That, and it hosed up royally by allowing Brink-like botmatches.

Game reminds me of Brink a lot actually. Really good gameplay, but no post-launch support causing people to lose interest and the community to fall apart.

The one good thing I'll say about Bungie is that they have a knack for keeping a playerbase together with post-launch support and progress updates. How many would still be playing Destiny now if the game ended with the 1st expansion?

the flaw in that is the sunk cost of the season pass. and then the TTK hype train started rolling. I'm predicting a lot of folks moving on this year unless they actually churn out new content like they claim they will.

I don't think this infusion deal is good I'm really kinda growing tired of it.

Especially with the way getting infusion bait makes weapon parts seem common. I wasn't expecting new guns to start so low, and stuff to upgrade them take hours of RNG to collect. Unless you really love running the raid constantly for high light drops.

Nah. Titanfall was poo poo because it launched as a multiplayer only game with 4 game modes and a handfull of weapons. It was a shallow puddle of dog piss

Titanfall with a proper story mode and a PS4 release would own and I would likely lose a lot of Destiny time to it. I would come back to Destiny of course, because who am I kidding, but I would still enjoy a Titanfall that didn't require me to a) purchase a poo poo game system or b) hunch over my mouse and keyboard like a goober.
