It adds a layer of unnecessary complexity that can be taken advantage of. In D3's case it was cross save from different generations that allowed pc modified files to be transferred to current Gen.

Not saying this is exactly what's going to happen but it's just one example.

Besides, there isn't a huge population of gamers that jump entire platforms on same title so why bother?

Yeah i like this.

A little confused as to how shotguns/fusion rifles are in the same category as grenade/rocket launchers... wondering how they balance that.

Looked like you pretty much had to hit someone with a grenade launch to kill them. But it's still pretty drat good

So I haven't had a chance to watch the whole reveal but the snippets I've seen make it look like it's the same four enemy races and the same three classes (albeit new subclasses) again?

Because that sucks. I hope Bungie's at least splashed out and make a handful of new (not reskinned) models this time around. Say, four completely new enemies per race. That'd be something.

Random opinions:

By getting pretty much the same game we avoided a bullet. Old game + new skills + new story + new maps + new activities +new weapons is about the better combination that was in the cards. Much better than a completelly new game that had none of the qualities of the original.

My theory is that game developers often don't see the game the same way has us, players, they see different strengths and different qualities. So when they translate a game, they translate what they see and miss the things we consider important. The way they are making Destiny 2, it looks like nothing is going to be lost in translation.

There are things for concern. Slower gameplay is a No Thanks. Part of the joy of a game is ample agile movements. I hope 4vs4 is only one of the gamemodes at 6vs6 exist.

I remain optimist in all areas because "low level RPG game character" is about the most underpower and numb thing in existence. You must start weak, then start the power creep that end you killing gods. If you start killing gods with oneshots, theres not room for grown.

The beta I don't expect to be more than what Destiny 1 beta was.

I'm kind of amazed how little they've changed the UI. It also looks like Bungie recorded the footage with a pretty crappy bitrate, so we'll have to wait for streamers and youtubers to upload something proper themselves.

I hope they swapped the map editor so we won't get the map rehash problem.

I liked that being in certain rooms in PvP gives you a little notification on where your at so you can do callouts, the combat seemed way more "punchy" and less "floaty" if that makes sense. I can see where the overwatch comparisons come from but I kind of get more of a futurama feel from the map that I saw.

I thought the ghost dialogue was cute, the floating robot rezzes my rear end constantly so the least I can do is listen to his lovely jokes. I think the protag not speaking a whole lot is good because the only thing they should give a poo poo about is getting better guns, it's Characterization. Strike boss battle looked bad but I liked that drill section with the moving parts, I'm actually kind of bummed I didn't get to see that in game unspoiled. All in all: can't wait to shoot my Nerf Maverick at some retextured brutes from halo

Continuing with the Overwatch comparisons, It will be good if we get a scort the payload pvp mode, where the payload is a tank, and actually defend itself.

Is it still peer-to-peer in terms of the multiplayer? Are there dedicated servers?

It is a complicated typology. We do not have dedicated servers for Destiny 2 on PC.

Because one of the issues with Destiny 1, people complained about the tick rate that was being used, right?

Yep.

That led to a lot of trading and stuff, and that was where they kind of identified that that’s where some of the lag was coming from. Is there going to be a different tick rate?

I would say that, today, we don’t have a good answer for that, meaning we’re not talking about the server side of things at this time. I can tell you that we have had conversations and we’re aware of—we try really hard to listen to the community and hear what their concerns are, and we try to take those and turn those into the plans.

This is about PC, but it sounds like tick rate and netcode (still) aren’t a major priority from my pessimistic reading.

From all reports from the PvP dudes on twitter it felt better than years gone by. It certainly looked a little smoother and snappier. Of course the only thing that really matters is how they implement it when we're 6 months in and an expansion is still a month away, the good players are starting to emerge and the casuals are dropping off and I/We just want to get a clash bounty done. If it's more 10 minute waiting periods to land a lobby of red bars I'll justifiably and impotently rant into my headset for all to hear. If it's sweaty but still snappy and smooth then I'll probably be pretty happy.

The poo poo that worries me is two players who casually play PVP (see entry: "poo poo cunts who taste my balls on the reg, until SBMM rear end fucks me"), talking to the Dev's saying "it's important to make sure there's skill gating" and some oval office from activision/bungie (I don't remember where the bloke was from) saying "I agree".


Nothing gives me the shits more than some pussy who can't handle getting their rear end whupped because they have no talent and refuse to get better at a something. If you get your rear end kicked its because you're lesser. Just make peace with it and bite the pillow, don't beg daddy bungie for protection and don't gently caress up my game experience because of it.

Somehow, the boy just isn't very buoyant.
gently caress me. My local friends are all PS4 owners and when D2 was announced they all scoffed. "Even though I put in hundreds of hours on Destiny, Destiny 2 is dumb and it'll be boring and gently caress that." Suddenly after yesterday it's "LET'S GET THE BAND BACK TOGETHER TIME TO GO DESTINY HOO-RAH." At the same time, my friends I do a lot of PC stuff with are all excited to get D2 on PC.

I'm gonna have to level two sets of characters. God dammit Bungie.
