Because it a shit game. I praise it though for taking PUBG sails out a little

>>388779532
Lol this game took 0 players from PUBG, guaranteed.

First game was bland too. Some nice gunplay and art direction but overall repetitive. Bungie is a dead company, they will never make cool games like Marathon or Halo again.

>why does an alien game with space magic have aliens with space magic
>why wasn't there a 20 minute cutscene explaining every little detail to me
It's a by the numbers loot shooter, but you seem to have broken your imagination giving it a try. Stick to Call of Duty.

Haven't gotten to play it yet. I just want another Borderlands. Hopefully it's essentially just that.

The aim assist is pretty hilarious. You can actually kill people so easily with controller on PC vs Mouse players.

>>388780560
People are using M/KB with auto aim thanks to some software that makes your PC think your M/KB is a 360 controller

Bravo Bungie

>>388780771
Also better gameplay. Better vehicles, no loot shit, no feeling like your mission is an instanced by the numbers fetch quest in some MMO, AI that didn't behave like lifeless robotic NPCs in an MMO, etc.

because of the massive droughts of content, people played the PvP extensively
because PvP was played extensively, r*ddit complained about everything and bungie took note
because r*ddit complained about everything. they've moved towards a more PvP game with less people each side, slower gameplay, overall weaker players and immediate meta with fixed RNG
because of the slower gameplay and weaker players (and the same stitched engine), PvE suffers because bungie cannot into separate balancing

also something in highest is fucking with all GPUs, textures and models diminish after medium and it doesn't use more cores and threads after 8 total
but they have 2 months to fix that if they give a shit

>>388780560
Its funny because the aim assist has been that bad on console for 3 years and for that entire time you've had people unironically playing it competitively

There's only aim assist if you're using a controller. It is ridiculously strong aim assist if you do though, because it's some retarded attempt to put you on par with M+KB players, except it's way better than the average M+KB player's aiming ability.

All I can tell you is what they told me in the D2 beta and the wiki articles I took the time to read.
The origin story is that Humanity started the space race again and found this giant fuck off ball on mars called the Traveler, it's that thing the rhino guys strapped that thing to in D2.
Basically that big fuck off ball is/was sentient and aided Humanity in starting a golden age where they colonized their solar system. But the solar system was invaded by an entity called the Darkness which is the enemy of the Traveler. There was a huge war involving all of these races enslaved to the darkness and the traveler gave its life to protect the last bastion of humanity which is that city you see in D2. I don't know what happened to the Darkness.
The guys attacking the city and the Traveler in D2 are called the Red Legion, they're part of the half dozen or so alien empires you fight in Destiny 1, this race in particular are called the Cabal, who are giant fuck off Brute gorilla rhinos with giant fucking warships that "Conquer" systems by blowing up habitated worlds. The Red legion are apparently big dick OGs of the Cabal but were fighting wars somewhere else in space.
They did something to the Traveler, which apparently also let your character respawn, but at the end of the story mission your character couldn't respawn anymore, or something.

That's basically all I can tell you, since I haven't played D1 yet.

All that tells me is that once I get a couple of decent guns the game becomes a goddamn snoozefest.

That's what I mean. I want to use a controller, but without auto-aim. If I can't (in SP at least) then there's a 0% chance of me ever buying this.

Yeah. The Hive is the only alien race that's really and agent of the Darkness. The Fallen are just an alien race that was visited by the Traveller before it came to us, and the Cabal are just a bunch of salty space rhinos.

Vex are a little more complicated; they're robots with organic components (the cum that spills out when you crit shot them) but they do seem to have some kind of affiliation with the Darkness (the final mission of vanilla Destiny shows them worshiping a psychical manifestation of the Darkness).

I think Destiny's biggest fault is the content flow. 15 dollars, and 3 months, for <3 hour story content 1 strike and 1 raid. You wait ages for Rise of Iron, its less than 2 hours story, 1 strike and like 2 updated old strikes, and 1 raid.

You might as well play fucking Warframe if you want that fucking Space Setting, at the very least that game knows that its players just want to look like autistic particle spammers killing everything left and right in a COOL WAY. What does this game even offer that it wont scratch? Its getting rid of proper Looting, decided to slow you down and managed to somehow make the diversity of classes worse by removing a subclass for each. How anyone in the PC community will want this is beyond me, maybe it passes for some grand game on Consoles but the Beta does nothing but give me the idea of Warframe's grinding just glorified with Bungie's name.

At least give me the option to go wicked fast and the potential to be a fuck demon because thats all its going to be about.

Tried this on my potato, around 20-30 fps for most of the time

Played the Hunter class I think it was called. Assault rifle felt weak as fuck so I used almost exclusively the pistol. I also assume I had a bug since the weapons had no crosshairs when zoomed in so getting headshots with the sniper rifle was a little difficult. Too fucking long CD on the grenade. Dodge was basically useless in the demo mission. Double jumping more often than not caused me to hit something above me that bounced me back and just felt like shit for movement when there was anything to hit above you. Also there was a part where I assume other players were phased into my game, that's when all the enemies started warping around a bit, especially when shooting them while they were mid-air

Was about as boring as I expected it to be, literally spent more time downloading it than playing

more powerful GPUs seem to be whittling away at something at the highest setting, and settings past medium don't do anything noticeable
newer CPUs were under-utilized as well even though their engine was multi-core from the start

The Fallen: Like humans they were visited by the Traveler and then suffered their own collapse when the Darkness came. Since then they've devolved into a race of scavenging space pirates. Eventually they discovered the Traveler had fled to Earth and now they're hoping to reclaim it.

The Vex: A hivemind of robots. Have the ability to control space and time. Their objective seems to be complete control of the universe. I mean COMPLETE control. They literally want to write themselves into the fundamental forces of the universe

The Cabal: Generic militarized alien race

The Hive: Alien race that worships death and the entropy of the universe. Look up the Book Of Sorrows if you want a more complete origin of this race.

Played the PC demo just now without ever playing the first. Game ran great and played like Halo with a jetpack and MMO spells. Enemies got a bit repetitive but it's a demo so I expected as much.

I fucked up and preordered the LE of the first one because I trusted Bungie like a retard, haven't played since before House of Wolves dropped. Just played the PC beta and I have this weird phantom twitch were I keep reaching for "the good gun" but it isn't there.
Seriously, what is the point of the second primary? Sure it's better against shields, but it's worse against health which is way more common. There aren't enough shielded enemies to make constant juggling worth it but if there were the game would just be even more of a slog. Nobody used the noob combo because it was inherently fun, they used it because it was effective. Why do I have to be married to it in a game that has no use for it?
And the heavy weapons are a joke. I've tried the shotgun and grenade launcher and I wouldn't have used either of them as special weapons let alone my sole fun gun. They're ineffective, unsatisfying, and you carry almost no ammo for either.
The shit heap that is the weapons could almost be looked over if the abilities pulled the weight, but of course they fucking don't. If you need them, they're recharging. And if they're charged, they're not nearly as damaging as you expected them to be.
It feels like Bungie cut my character's dick off for a cool $60 fee.

How is that? I've been wanting to find a tactical game after quiting CSGO with 1200 hours. Already enjoy Insurgency/Rising Storm 2 but I want to spice it up.

Shame that arena shooters are dead.

>>388789612
Nope. I played the first one and it even seemed boring compared to that. The level design in what's there is wack and enemies are both too scarce and clustered.

>>388783738
You need to go to speaker properties and go to the advance tab and change the format from studio quality to DVD quality, Ive no idea why this happens im gonna say you're using win7 cause thats what im using and ive had the exact same issue as you

I may unironically end up buying this game

>>388779412
You didn't even list the biggest issue: The enemy AI is RETARDED. You can easily test this, just go play PvE and stay still and see how long it takes for enemies to kill you. Even while standing perfectly still, the enemy Ai will STILL not be able to land their shots on you. For a game that revolves around killing enemy AI, it's so fucking easy the game plays itself. It's insultingly bad/easy. Does Bungie literally think their players are retarded?

I already have Wangblows 7 thankfully, but what the fuck?

Having to do that is a sign of shit game development regardless if its beta or not. It also fucks up my listening quality since I do audio production for fun.

its a good game on an upward trend, there is a gigantic learning curve before you can start dominating games but once you are there it's rewarding. you can definitely out play opponents by using gadgets, map knowledge, and general game sense more than just CS:GO style angle fights.

downsides are the pricing model is a bit busted, there is no real good option for buying it and it requires the uplay program to be installed

best to wait for a sale and get the base game for 50% off, the 15 dollar version adds some extra grinding that many don't consider worth it

>>388790376
It may have something to do with this being the open beta. If you pick up WoW up to level 20 you won't die at all, doesn't mean Mythic raiding is easy. MMOs have a progressive difficulty curve

I'm thinking about it too but I'm not sure yet. On the one hand the core gameplay's not bad and I'd probably have fun with it, but on the other the demo was kinda meh in everything but the graphics department.

>>388790376
>Does Bungie literally think their players are retarded?
I was playing the "tank" class about twenty minutes ago and got to that part where you have to fight out a few waves of dudes while you wait for some shit or whatever with a couple randos, and I literally throw down a shield for the squishies on my team to hide behind and one of the dumb fuckers just runs in front of it and gets himself killed. Considering all that, they probably do think their players are fucking mongs.

>>388790474

consider looking at warframe if you havent, it's not a perfect game but every character in that is pretty much in a destiny style super charge the entire time, also the loot/gear isn't tied to your class choice

>>388790470
No, I played Destiny 1 and all the expansions, the AI is always the same. The difficulty never goes up. The only thing that makes raids "hard" is your own team members. If you have a team that is even SLIGHTLY decent, you'll never have trouble with the PvE. I was hoping for changes in Destiny 2, but it's all the same. Bungie is making this game for 10 year olds that are shit at other games.

>>388790654
They didn't know wtf was going on, same thing happened to me on my first play through. On my second character i didn't die once of course

>>388790417
Someone got cheap on the audio. Saw it happen in another game but that was relatively low budget.

>>388789209
Biggest issue is this. Cooldowns are terribles and the decent weapons have no ammo. Game really needs to play faster too.

I honestly am not trying to shill for Warframe but its sadly the better alternative for the itch that Destiny scratches and on top of it its Free but I highly discourage people from openly playing this game solely due to the fact that they are in the long term just skinner boxes designed to keep you in their ecosystem not because they are fun but because you have feel the need to justify the orders you have wasted into these games.

If you're consider Destiny 2, don't. The Beta shows how bland it can be and how its recipe for fun is locking you out of your cool factors for a long headshot fest and then demanding DLC costs for future content or tough luck kiddo. Go find something actually fun that doesnt keep you stuck in its ecosystem due to the time wasted because at this point you're better off you playing a fucking MMO and get the same effect.

why is the pvp so fucking bland?

>only 4v4.
>no tension
>dead silent

wtf

>>388790834
Im a fucking idiot.

"the hours you have wasted on these games"

>>388789997
second primary is there because people couldn't handle a dedicated damage dealer in PvP and bungie couldn't nerf it enough. removal of dedicated special was PvP fags which means that PvE is going to be slow as well with people having less power on them
"heavy weapons" should do waay more output but everything has to be in-line and shitty (just a step above a primary in damage) because of the 2 primary change
and, yeah, the most stupid shit they've done is slow down abilities and make them weak as shit at the same time

both modes are slower than in the first game

This is one of the most boring shooters I've ever played. The abilities are boring with super long cooldowns. For example, the fucking dodge skill has a GIANT cooldown for doing almost nothing interesting. Everything is slow. Enemies are giant and impossible to miss. There's no skill involved. PvP is super slow and boring. This is a worse Halo but with loot. I have no idea why people played the first game. I don't understand the hype.

>>388789997
>haven't played since before House of Wolves
>trust Bungie
how?

Also what I found the most discouraging was how fucking lame the exotics were. Even if you really do get that gun in that first level, which would explain why it's so lame but not why it's an exotic, why wouldn't they swap it out for something more interesting to give newcomers a taste of the wacky shit exotics do? The only one that kindof does that is the Warlock submachine gun, and that's basically a Zhalo Supercell that you have to take arc damage to activate.

>>388786162
Because it can get you in the top 3 every single match and the objective of the game is to win.

>>388788758
>there are people in 2017 that still play game without even going into Settings once

>>388790670
Already tried it, warframe is a metasluts dream but if you want to enjoy the actual game without a fotm build you will find it only goes so far. Destiny is "press X to awesome and then wait forever" while Warframe is "press X to murder everything OR it does absolutely fucking nothing buy more plat goy!"

>>388779412
it almost put me to sleep, I had to turn it off

seriously Activision has succeeded where others have failed, they created a perfect sedative in videogame format

>>388791231
Considering they are giving away that Coldbeam trace rifle exotic for pre-orders, I think they can afford to give boring/mild exotics for the single player.
Those will get deleted after the intro mission anyways

>>388780578
my dude really out here playing with 40FOV lmao

>>388790834
>designed to keep you in their ecosystem
This is basically the crux of what makes Destiny bad. They spend so much effort figuring out how to force you to keep coming back instead of on content that makes you want to keep playing naturally. Their numbers would drop off to nil if it weren't for the shit locked behind timers and the otherwise abysmal RNG.

It's the same shit with MMOs, but at least they generally provide you with loads of shit to do and a good reason to grind.

>>388789209
Didnt they fix the heavy and cooldown problems after console test? could have sworn they said they were putting them in the pc beta.

>>388791137
I played the beta of the first Destiny and it was pretty cool. It had a big-ass open level and it felt like a mix of Rage and Borderlands.

I don't understand what the fuck happened in between these betas and why console players don't seem concerned.

Just go play Warframe, it's the same game but better.

>>388792678
The D1 beta was more like a demo because you could play all the missions from the first planet.

It sucks they didn't include the chatacter creator for this beta. I wanted to see if they added anything to it.

>>388783035
it's a ban simulator

i dont need to pay money to do that

>>388794021
It just so happened that that was 25% of the planets in the base game

The cooldowns are crazy.
In D1 I maxed discipline so I could toss grenades every 30 seconds.

I might buy if not for the obvious AAA game price, pre-order bait, and DLC shenanigans. Also why the fuck is this shit on Blizzard's battle.net platform and not Steam?

>>388794875
>every 30 seconds
Even that is a long cooldown

>>388794937
>Also why the fuck is this shit on Blizzard's battle.net platform and not Steam?
Because Activison owns Blizzard and doesn't want to revenue share with Steam anymore

>>388794937
Because Blizzard-Activision has been a thing for over 10 years so they're using the Blizzard portion to promote and host it. Also

>played with assholes expoiting autoaim

I don't use it and I'm shitting on most people so I would hardly call that an excuse. Maybe try gitting gud?

>>388791231
How did I trust Bungie back when the worst game they had put out recently was Reach? Pretty easily, actually.
Destiny is/was a stinker but I got legitimate enjoyment out of every Halo game they made. I figured it would at least be worth a couple runs through the story on co-op.

The first game made over $1.5b

>>388781663
>optimized like shit

Get rid of your potato, faggot. Shit ran at 120fps at max settings for me at 1080p

Is this supposed to be like Borderlands with weapons dropping off dudes and shit or what?
I know literally nothing about Destiny 1 and this feels like boring shit so far from this beta.

yes, loot drops were nerfed for the beta but it does feel a lot like Borderlands

>>388786167
at minimum. the exclusivity is actually tied to content release so at the end of a full year new major content shows up with a new round of exclusives and they relinquish old exclusives but if the new content doesn't show up they'll hold onto the exclusives for as long as desired by Sony.

It's been 2 years since people were supposed to get the last round of exclusives on xbox and that won't come until after Destiny 2 is released. so keep that in mind.

It'll be something that bothers you like a fly on the wall.

>>388794182
>inb4 less than first game
there was an early polish leak that only showed like 6 options

>>388795328
Character progression and loot drops are pretty much absent in the beta but will be central in the actual game. Enemies will have a chance at dropping engrams which can be decoded into gear, but you'll get gear as rewards for activities like raids more than you will by farming trash mobs.

Not going to lie i wasn't expecting so much whining from you PC mustards, the reddit guys seem to enjoy it fine. Is /v/ really this saturated with babies?

There's only three, stop relying on people to make choices for you. Jesus fuck.

>>388797082
All of the classes are good, but with cooldowns being as long as they are in the beta the minute-to-minute gameplay will be mostly the same. Hunter can play most aggressively with his instant-reload dodge that comes back pretty fast. but Warlock's Voidwalker is awesome for add control with his super and charge-up grenades.

Titan is the class I'm least impressed with but there's nothing wrong with him, per se. I just find the other two classes more fun.

You should try the barricade, then. Go into your subclass menu and switch from the wall to the barricade, it creates a knee-high wall that you can duck behind and when you ADS you automatically peek over it, plus when you release ADS you duck behind it again and your weapon is automatically reloaded.
