Waxing Nostalgic about MH made me wish I just had more Almost Purposeless But Cute things to do in Destiny. Maybe...a cooking mini-game in tower by the ramen shack that gives us [one of many buffs] for [1-3 hours] shared with fireteam if you stir in the right ingredients/weapon mods, and have $num_guardians dance in the soup pot Bonus points if we can become “part of the set” by sitting in all those tables and chairs around there while we eat said dishes Polish it off with a cold glass of Vex Milk

This game was worth the 25 bux i got it for on sale, but god drat i feel bad for anyone who dropped 60 on it, let alone the season pass. I feel like bungie has zero clue what this game is supposed to be. like, it's a nice lightweight halo-ish shooter with great pve mechanics and a shallow but decent loot system. Which is completely nice and fine and good. Except they clearly want it to be a social game with competitive pvp and raid content. Yet they literally don't let people talk to each other. Like, there's a fully fleshed out chat system with channels and slash commands and everything, and a team voice chat all built in. Except it doesn't work because they disabled it on purpose. And when they're asked about it they're like "oh it's totally a priority but not the biggest priority, so we'll get to it but it's hard, so stick with us" Get outta here with that poo poo. It's like they were making another halo game and when they were 99% done some executive got real excited watching his kid playing Warframe, explained what he was seeing over the phone to the lead dev and wouldn't let anyone go home until they put in a bunch of social endgame mechanics. Anyway, the dude shooting is fun. I feel like I don't "get" the rest of it, or maybe I do?

Nameless Midnight feels cool, but I like having stuff that makes me feel more like a space commando in my Kinetic slot. Killing people using either of those with my little baby red legion gun is the best feeling.I have the sinking feeling of whatever new guns we get, a legendary version of the Trax Lysis II will not be one of them

When does Bungie usually post patch notes? When they take down the servers? When they come back up?

Legs Benedict posted:man i defend bungie as much as anyone but this is a loving terrible argument. vanilla D2 didn’t necessarily have to be the equal of AOT D1 but jesus, I read "Vanilla D1 hasn't been a thing for years" as "because time is a thing Vanilla D1 is now old" to which I'm responding with "Yes, and when time continues to move D2 will also eventually be old." Whatever other poo poo you're reading into here is not what I'm saying. I just think D2 is fine and is going to change. I don't have any loving clue if it's going to change for better or worse, I just think Vanilla will end up being different enough that it'll be old because time. Plus I already complained enough about the XP changes being absolute poo poo and PC players getting 6 weeks cut out of their first season as a money grab so it's not like I feel Bungie is worth defending here. To sum up, I have the unpopular opinion that Vanilla D2 is fun and Vanilla D1 was poo poo. Whoops! DaveKap fucked around with this message at 01:11 on Dec 5, 2017 |

Yeah I bought in during a GMG sale as well which might explain why I think the game is fine for 45 bucks. Admittedly I'm in for the expansion but I kinda wish it was pushed back a bit since there's a big fuckin Division patch coming out same day and I hate splitting time between two loot games. (Of course it also doesn't help that instead of eating my Destiny 2 cake all at once like most folks, I've had a slice a week and am on the final slice of the raid right now.)

Whoops! you're missing the point with admirable tenacity here, though. it doesn't matter that d2 will 'eventually' be fine, because the driving complaint is that 'why is there regression from end of destiny 1 content going into destiny 2?' it doesn't matter that d2 is currently 'fine', only that launch d2 is for some reason worse than the destiny 1 we stopped playing a week before d2 came out.

I paid for the expansion pass day 1, but I also enjoy this game. Are there disappointing parts of it? Hell yeah. But it's still given me a solid amount of enjoyment so far. There are certainly a lot of other games I could be playing right now that are significantly worse.

I kinda just assumed it was like a Splatoon 1 vs Splatoon 2 kind of thing. The game comes out, it barely has what it's supposed to have, and then they release it over time to keep the game feeling like it's live and also so that they can iterate where need be and pile on the extra content as they have the time to develop it post release. It's not a model I particularly like or enjoy but for Splatoon, it's one I've gotten used to. With Destiny I assumed they'd do the same thing (as they're missing vehicle multiplayer maps and racing) but if it's as egregious as to make people super mad, you've got every right to be mad. I don't like the model, either, I just don't know how much actual regression's going on. DaveKap fucked around with this message at 01:53 on Dec 5, 2017 |

Because Destiny 2 was being developed for months before coming out. There’s a point at which the systems they settled on for D2 became baked in, and even if they learn later from D1 that there’s a better solution they just have to keep pressing forward with what they have. Just look at all the changes they’re implementing on the 5th and 12th. I guarantee they didn’t come up with most of those changes just few weeks ago in response to player feedback. I bet they were working on a lot of them before release because, again, they were learning from D1 what works and what doesn’t but they were already locked in with D2’s code and needed to hit their street dates. If you assume that D2’s core gameplay was finalized around, say, Taken King, some of the seemingly “regressive” decisions make a lot more sense. I’m not saying it makes the problems with D2 okay. There are absolutely issues that need to be addressed. I just wanted to push back on the idea that D2 would somehow be built directly on top of D1 circa September 6, 2017.

I mean I loved the first 20 levels, what a great campaign and even the first few strikes are very good. But I also hit a wall around 265 and even though the gameplay is freakin good, I don’t feel the need to login and play until they patch that stuff up. The grind for earning a single extra level is just not fun.

Why not play for "freakin good" gameplay Like I guess I feel bad for the people who imagined this as a forever game that would fulfill their needs constantly for the rest of their lives like No Man's Sky, but I thought the "Play through all the content, then play on and off every so often when new content comes out" was their intended model until that last announcement about making this game Hobby Grade

Take yourself and your 200 Prophet Snows and start posting here. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3842728&perpage=40 This is the new thread ^^^^^^^ The game is not dead anymore.

So many times this. Blame lovely project direction or invasive publisher presence or whatever. It's possible to punch up while retaining solidarity with fellow workers. Like, to each their own, but I feel satisfied with my D2 purchase. I've gotten a good 40-50 hours out of it so far. The new class/talent system led me to play a class I barely touched before, and the PC port (beyond being a technical marvel after the clan memory leak was fixed) led me to use ARs way more than I did in D1. The XP nerf/anti-chest mechanics are clear and significant failures, but overall I think there's a pretty good framework for future content and I think that the series still has the best gunplay. I'm looking forward to Osiris tomorrow.
