MAYBE A DINGO ATE YOUR K/D

I almost found the vanilla d2 dialogue and design to almost be a parody of destiny in places tbh.

I remember when Eris made a little joke about ghosts opening doors in the Omnigul strike and it was actually funny.

And in D2 we have ghost banging on about eating pie or some other such nonsense.

Its the same game in the same engine but D1 just looks... cleaner? Faster? Something. Its like D2 is missing the secret spice but its impossible to tell what that spice is.

My big gripe is that the maps in d1 had simpler geometry with the visuals provided by texture work. In d2 all those greebles are actually modeled, which means there are a lot more things to get stuck on/trip over. Plus it makes using area control grenades harder because if you're a pixel off that lightning/tripmine/thermite ends up pointing in a random direction.

Not sure you actually played D1 because geometry hosed with grenades just as badly as it does in D2.

It was by far the biggest weakness of lightning grenades. Most titans learned spots to just never throw a grenade because it would never work.

Yeah, basically every single multiplayer map that was in a Cabal, Hive, or Fallen locale had tons of weird curves on the walls

Can someone explain to me, a moron, the difference between obsidian accelerator and obsidian radiance?

I used one of the former to purchase one of the latter, and now I have one of each. I figured out the radiance is a gun mod, but is the accelerator a one time use consumable?

The accelerator is not supposed to be consumable, that is a bug. Its only function is to buy a radiance.

Someday Bungie will stumble upon the technology of clip brushes that allow complex geometry without loving over the players, but none of us should hold our breath.

"Whatever the gently caress was going on"

D1 was like being befuddled by bullshit but D2 dropped the pretense and was honest that everything is turd. Retards are responsible for both so I say they're about even?


Real talk, starting D1 (and modern gaming) during TTK and following level recommendations for the order in which to play the story missions (which mashed all the previous campaigns up), it legit took me a very, very long time to sort out which alien races where which, what their motivations were, what plans were being enacted, ad infinitum. All of it was absolutely incomprehensible and I couldn't follow a single thing except I need to murder literally everything. After a year of playing, I looked up the order of story missions per expansion and played through them all straight. It hardly improved upon the stories but I at least kinda-maybe-sorta could follow the plot.

the nonexistent story in D1 kinda worked for me because it felt like it was hinting at something greater we had to discover. then they came out and said stuff like "yeah we have no idea what the darkness is" and wrote vanilla D2

Don’t forget that in vanilla D1 there were no quests to give little interstitial bridges between missions and sort them into arcs. Stuff would just appear in the director sometimes and it was on you to figure out which ones were related to which others from whatever dialog and context clues you could pick up.

[Bungie, feeling the pressure from 3-5 different competitors trying to nab the player base] OK guys we gotta make this Iron Banner count

No double Valor
The most difficult of the bounties
I'm thinking we GOTTA offer pulse / grenade launcher
And make sure they've got crap rolls, good yes GOOOOD

Let's also make sure that Pulse and Sword frames stay in the rotation for a third week. HOO AH

The Comp population is so small and toxic that I'll often exchange hate mail and immediately be on their team in the next match.
