that's still reading like a very strange choice to me. depending on how you acquire power weapon ammo, there'd be no reason to not run rockets or lmg's if their acquisition is at all limited. snipers and shotguns in the low-impact class are going to be even more poorly off than they currently are.

And obviously the power weapon situation will be balanced by getting more ammo for a shotgun than you do for a rocket launcher.

Stickies don't OHK anymore. A fully charged melee needs another follow up melee to kill(three melees if it's not charged)

I wonder if bosses still have melee attacks at close range, cause if they do it makes pole dancer hunter that much more useless.

So, 2 of the four planets were supposed to be in the first game. European Dead Zone and Ios (Which used to be mercury). I am hoping they don't gut the story again like last time as they continue to piece meal segments together. Because that definitely didn't work last time. http://kotaku.com/the-messy-true-story-behind-the-making-of-destiny-1737556731 Also, let''s hope to God they fixed this part of it... quote:“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.”

Any non-player Guardian talks. Also your guardian does talk. Might wanna play those early missions again. Some cut scenes he talks to ghost and other characters. I think they didn't make them a chatter box to cut down conversation times.

Spiv posted:I think they didn't make them a chatter box to cut down conversation times. No, it's purely a cost/benefit decision. It means they don't have to pay voice actors for 6 variants of every piece of dialog, and force people to download more audio files every time a new story mission releases. Obviously the disk requirements for 9 copies of wav files covering 2 minutes of audio isn't going to be that big a deal, but I'm sure it was part of Bungie's conversation.

I know you *do* talk sometimes, I'm saying that you shouldn't have. It would have saved them the trouble of hiring and recording all those different VAs and players would never have had a reason to snark about their character not talking if it had been written into the fiction that they didn't.

the 3 new supers look like dogshit. shuffling the weapons around is a garbage bandaid for balancing, apparently they couldn't get their poo poo together after all so just make them use 2 primaries instead what a great solution! but the game finally has a story and all those rep grinds will be built right in instead of having to wait a few expansions. wooooo! this was supposed to be a do-over and instead they're doubling down. just shove all that garbage that didn't make it into the first game into this.

That's pretty much it from what it looks like. Two of the planets were already IN Destiny Vanilla too before everything was cut into pieces. European Dead Zone and Mercury (Which is now ios) From this link. http://kotaku.com/the-messy-true-story-behind-the-making-of-destiny-1737556731 quote:The story would have also starred a character familiar to hardcore Destiny fans: Osiris, described by one source as an Obi-Wan Kenobi-like mentor living in an ancient Vex temple on Mercury. Although Osiris has yet to appear in the version of Destiny that shipped, he does have a presence thanks to a competitive multiplayer gauntlet designed in his name: the Trials of Osiris. Groups of flawless victors in Trials of Osiris gain access to the enigmatic wizard’s Mercury temple, which was salvaged from the original story and reused here. And then this little gem. quote:Before anyone could be redeemed, Bungie had to ship The Taken King, which had been going through its own set of development issues. Pre-production on this expansion, which was code-named Comet, had started in late 2013. Two sources say the original plan was to release this major expansion at $60 and include a brand new planet, Europa, as well as a new area on Earth called the European Dead Zone Welcome to paying for more content we have already paid for 4 times.

It gets better. quote:None of that happened. In March of 2014, Bungie rebooted Comet, sources say. The team ultimately decided to focus it around a single major map—the Hive ship that had been cut from vanilla Destiny—as well as a new public space on Mars, complete with strikes and a new raid. (That entire last Mars chunk was later cut and passed to Activision subsidiary High Moon Studios to develop for Destiny’s full-sized 2016 sequel, a source said. They’re helping Bungie make the game.) Over the months, Bungie kept rescoping as they looked more realistically at what they could do, and the final version of The Taken King—the one that shipped last month—wound up focusing solely on the Dreadnaught.

i mean, i don't think you will find a single poster enthusiastic about destiny who did not get their money's worth from destiny 1 and it's dlc. also, yes, if it's fun, i think that's fine. if you're for some reason positing that destiny 1 + all of it's dlc + destiny 2 constitutes a single game's worth of value there has probably only been like three games ever made that are acceptable by your dogshit metrics.

On videogames you play for the "new game" smell. Thats why the older is a game, his price goes to zero. There will be (I hope) a fuckton of "new game" smell in this one, with the new areas, characters, weapons, skills synergies, game modes and secrets. And dances, and awesome looking gear.

So you could wait 3 years and buy the full game, and guess what, it'll be $60 then too and you won't have anything to complain about, other than lack of people to play with. Or don't buy the game and go away, I don't give a poo poo

LMAO I had a coworker at my last job that did that bullshit all the time. "Oh, you play Destiny? Ugh. I liked it, but I hate that they cut half the game and sold it back as DLC." *explains how game and DLC development actually works* "Nah I read it on the internet, it was all finished and ready to go they but Activision made them sell it as DLC"
