This

>>389495738
Will this game have a large population or will it immediately drop off?

Is the game actual open world persistent world like an mmo or is it instanced?

Why is it called "destiny"?

Is it solely to drive hype? An attempt to make weak willed addicts to conjure up illusions of grandeur as they grind for the next irrelevant piece of equipment to grind the next piece to grind the next piece and so on?

Why did so many people play the first game if the pvp was so mediocre?

Played a little bit of the first one. Seemed pretty cool but shallow. Watched gameplay footage of Destiny 2, it looks almost identical to the first game.

Was a sequel really necessary? I thought the original idea was just to keep doing expansions.

It's shit

>>389496816
Its a Diablo-like. I don't understand where people get the impression its anything else. Its diablo but a fps and sci-fi.

There are 'patrol areas' that are medium sized open worlds with little random events everybody can participate in, but those maps maybe have 40~50 people on them tops, then there're the strikes & raids which are more like dungeons and.. raids in a standard mmo

>>389497617
>used to never believe
So you're retarded.

>>389496816
Instanced areas. I've been playing through it the past few days and it's honestly not that bad. The writing is shit but I'm not really playing it for that. Most of what /v/ says is true about the game but greatly exaggerated.

It feels like a turd since I have been playing BOTW, I spoiled myself with freedom and intelligent enviroments.

This isnt larping either, I got it 2day and it feels dead and souless.

I went from...comfy in bed with the A/C blasting, drinking a sleepy time tea, playing BOTW handheld.

To sitting upright and ridgid in a computer chair, shooting the same shit over and over in a dead boxed in souless world.

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT TO THE FIRST?

I usually don't harp on about graphics and the like, but literally nothing seems different of Destiny 2 from the first. The graphics seem of the same caliber, the interface looks identical at first glance, gun play feels rather unchanged, classes look exactly the same (with some minor variations thrown in).

Is the idea of characters from the first Destiny still going through to Destiny 2, or did they scrap that? I feel like the only reason this is a separate game, as opposed to an expansion, is that the storyline is so radically different and scaling would be so awkward that they had to set it aside from that.

Even still, I've seen plenty of games simply hash out expansion after expansion rather than copy/paste new games. Everquest has EQ 2, but they're vastly different and EQ 1 has 20+ something expansions at this point.

I'm still gonna' buy it probably, simply because I've the disposable income and wouldn't more new content for Destiny, but I fail to see the reason to warrant a separate title and not an expansion aside from milking customers for that wee bit of extra cash.

>>389501980
Nothing. Its just more of the same

>>389495738

I learnt my lesson from last time. I'm not fall for buying this game and spending 200$. I will consider buying it when EVERYTHING comes out and even then, it better be discounted.

The idiots who bought and are playing this now get to enjoy blowing their money for nothing and getting to have the game they already own sold back to them in season passes or simply 20$-40$ Can have fun circle jerking each other off.

Shit it's taking 4 hours to download the day 1 patch, how do they keep getting away with it?

>>389505184
But it's not like, say, half-life linear. Or even borderlands unironically does level design better. It's literally corridors with no imagination. You just run through them, shooting everything. Make sure to follow the super obvious waypoint marker on your screen, you can't miss it!

The point of not doing open world, and doing a closed, control experience, is to make that closed experience extremely tight and good. Which Destiny 1 & 2 fail to do.

10pm and it's almost done. At this point I almost don't even want to bother and just ride the night out with some other game and play it tomorrow.

>>389495738
The original Destiny came out... What? 2014.. Holy shit its been that long?

I played the shit out of it for something like three or four months and never touched it again.

That really, really short and abrupt ending was absolute shit.

I never played any of the DLCs although I THINK I bought the season pass.

I thought the Mars environment with those big dudes was kinda cool...

Is this one worth jumping into or nah?

>>389507881
It might actually be better alone unless you have friends that are likely to want to raid consistently and stuff. I've not played number 2, but in number 1 I added a bunch of people to raid with and didn't have to deal with playing with irl friends that aren't very good at the game.

>>389508620
It's literally more of the same thing. Same mediocre writing, same assets, same RNG loot system.

I don't even know why they called it a sequel.

Beta ran good.
If it's anything like the first game it'll be 8-16 months before it has a decent amount of stuff to do.

Yeah, you knew from the way that it started with the main campaign that the whole story that would have been fit for one game has been chopped into pieces to be sold individually.

Its probably all content that by all rights should have just been in the first game.

>No Peter Dink as ghost

>>389508074
What I meant by too linear is that you can't break off of the path, the game locks you into this retarded one way segment even though the artstyle goes out of its way to suggest that there is more to the universe. The entire appeal of Destiny as open world is just a scam. The canyons in Halo CE are bigger than Destiny.

I'm not falling for that shit again. Xbox didn't get exclusives until Destiny 2 came out and didn't even get some of the events. It's a Sony exclusive tbqh.

Uncapped frame rates on PC means it won't, and now that we have disparity on consoles it's even less likely, since devs have to keep making stuff for the weaker Xbones/PS4s

It'll still manage 10k plus concurrent players, and with raid matchmaking that's enough.
All the important exclusives (the strike(s) and good exotics) will go to all platforms at some point.

Why is the only kinetic weapon type that's worth a shit SMGs? I've tried every other weapon type and none of them seem to do anything. Is my power level too low for my level or something?

>>389515153
I never bought any emotes. I heard they help make the raids easier though

I'm playing it wrong
the gunplay isn't doing it for me so I just run around punching enemies. The low level ones are easy enough to kill with punches
the stronger guys I still punch but will throw grenades and some cover fire to give myself some space while I move, then punch them because it takes a few to bring them down.
doing it this way is faster than actually trying to shoot them.

>>389516582
if you don't give them headshots you're doing it wrong kiddo

I think my main issue with this game is that there aren't really any new enemies. same Fallen, same Hive, same Cabal, same Vex.

I like the game otherwise, nice QoL changes, everything looks a lot better, story is at least cohesive this time.

>>389518090
Don't forget that we have the same Taken, which are essentially the same Fallen, same Hive, same Cabal, and same Vex

>>389518212
haven't gotten to the Taken yet but that's unsurprising

The core gameplay is great, but everything else around it is so mediocre. Destiny and Destiny 2 are just great examples that gameplay absolutely isn't everything when it comes to video games.

If you're really going to get it, then just wait for the PC version. It'll run better, look better, and have a healthy playerbase to boot thanks to it being on Battle.net thus having a massive crossover with Blizzard's humongous and ravenous PC fanbase.

Outside of that, don't bother. With how little has changed, Destiny 2 could've easily had just been another expansion pack.

as near as I can figure, the Taken don't stop being taken just because Oryx is dead. Plus the taken can replicate which is probably part of it and I think that the Taken can "take" on their own as a kind of spreading of Oryx's corruption. They're basically at this point robots without someone to command them and are thus following their last known command which is basically to destroy or control everything for Oryx.

>>389495738
Anthem is the Destiny Killer, calling it now. They saw the game and imagined what it could be, and they're going to give all the buttmad Destiny players what they wanted in the first place.
I specifically waited on this game because I was skeptical from the beginning, I even wanted a white PS4 but knowing it was coming with Destiny 2 I had a bad feeling.
Dodged a bullet with that one.

Are overworlds still shitty, segmented, and barely worth exploring? Did it ship with content this time instead of being a shitty worthless beta-tier release at launch? Is the story they actually remembered to add this time any good? Does that shitty jokester robot character stop being stupid?

Yes and yes, the arc class also has one. Wouldn't be surprised if all hunter classes do.

So how is it?

I never played the first Destiny, but I'm thinking of picking this up tomorrow. So far I've heard mixed opinions about it, some said it's like a gloried DLC and isn't really a true sequel. Others said it's way better than the first Destiny, not sure what to do believe.

>>389521686
If you've never played D1, you'll be fine. The "glorified DLC" meme won't even apply to you. It's a comfy MMO-lite looter shooter with a great Sci-Fi fantasy aesthetic to it. Main Story's fun but on the whole unforgettable, but Destiny has some great lore hidden beneath. The game's at it's best when you've got a couple of friends you can gather up with for some comfy play sessions in instances/public-events/PvP.

>>389509407
>>389521637
All three share the same dodge abilities.

>>389518942
It think its a little over the top with the art design also.

>>389522102
What if I have no friends? Will it still be fun? I thought you could play online and queue with people for raids and what not? Is that not the case?

>>389522331
It's still fun solo. There's going to be an in-built LFG system now so you'll be able to queue up with randoms for group content, so you'll be fine in that aspect.

>>389522331
No. I had no friends and got D1 and it was terrible. You end up playing with Tyrone and Jamal and it sucks. Its is definitly not a good choice if you have no online friends

>>389522451
Oh, well that's good. I'm scared to get it though because someone told me the story is like EIGHT HOURS long, and after that there isn't anything else to do except replay campaign missions.

>>389522331
If you have no friends good luck having fun in raids. The game is more for people who have friends to play with since it makes the experience that much better

Between bad imitations of Jim Gaffigan and sucking cock, Gothalion is actually pissed at these chucklefucks for using his footage without asking and misleading people. The eververse scrap you can purchase can all easily be gotten by drops done in things like Heroic public events, you just have to know how to activate them. He was grinding publics yesterday night and got 1000 free coins to use at the eververse from a chest. Considering a purchased emote costs 300 there, that's not bad.

>>389522331
It's still fun. Yes you can queue up with randoms to knock out group content, but worse come to worst and you're pining for a consistent group to play with, you could just join a clan in-game.

So I haven't looked into this game yet. I stopped playing Destiny before the first DLC came out so I don't know all the changes it went through. At that point, the hunter was undeniably the best for getting around. Which class is best so far in Destiny 2 for mobility? Eventually I'll have all classes, but I want to start with whichever is most maneuverable.

>>389522671
character transfer does nothing though. The only cool thing is the "memories" bit which is a slideshow of your accomplishments in D1, and who you did it with. nice touch, but nothing about the transfer affects the gameplay

Well, they're not lying in that the story is about 8 hrs long give or take. But there's plenty to do outside of that given it's a looter shooter. You're in it to grind cool guns and shiny gear after all, and there's plenty of activities in the meantime for you to do to that end.

Why waste time talking about the poor mans Warframe?

>>389522331
I don't make friends easily IRL, but in Destiny I ended up with something like 3 groups of random people that I ended up playing with on a regular basis and having a lot of fun with. This isn't like COD where no one talks to each other anymore, especially when you get to raids.

>>389522770
>>389522851
I get that but ultimately I spent $120 on the Ghost Edition, then $400 on the Taken King PS4, then another $30 for Rise of Iron so I'd really appreciate not having to play the game in an inferior state just to be able to keep some shred of what I did from years of Destiny 1

skipped the first one now friends convinced me to pick this up day 1. I regret listening to them.

SHADERS ARE CONSUMABLES


IM ACTUALLY GLAD BUNGIE CAN NEVER TOUCH HALO AGAIN

So what does a person who played only destiny 2 for the first time without playing the first one vs the person who played the first one and now the 2nd think about it, would one like it more?

>>389523036
It's that bad, eh?

>>389523159
Again, but in English this time please.

>>389523093
>shaders in D2 are like shaders in MMOs
As long as they aren't super rare, what is the problem? This is a grind style game. If you don't like grinding, why are you playing it?

If they are super rare, sorry for my pretentious reply.

>>389518501
That's why I went ahead and bought it for Xbox One while I wait.

Plus it will feel like a new/better game on PC with higher framerate.

>>389523363
>plentiful supply of anything in a looter game
>especially cosmetic stuff

furthermore, they are applied (and consumed) per gear item. No longer applies to all of your gear at once.

People are already massively bitching about the shaders being a 1 time use

They'll revert the changes in less than 3 weeks guaranteed. Right now it's THE major complaint

>>389523093
You're getting truckloads of them doing whatever in the game anyway. Especially when you're mass decrypting engrams.

>>389523550
Still not a problem unless they are either super rare, or hard as fuck to get specific colors. How do you get them?

My review: It's a $80 DLC+rework (kind of like TTK).

That's it. The story is atleast somewhat engaging although I have only played for about 3 hours.

>>389523654
I don't recall bungie ever listening to it's playerbase. It only acts on bugs or internal statistics.

>everyone agrees destiny 1 vanilla is awful mostly because lack of content
>season pass fixes that as long as you spend a stupid amount of money
>destiny 2 launches with the same amount of content as destiny 1, and a season announced before launch

Fuck this fucking franchise and fuck Bungie. Destiny has so much potential and its completely ruined by Activi$ions retarded money hungry practices. I was tempted to pick it up when it comes out on PC just because of how good the shooting feels with M+KB but now I highly doubt I will after seeing all this bullshit about content, microtransactions and all the other bullshit.

>>389497617
Dishonored, Destiny 2, and Divinity OS 2 all are suspicious. Then again it could be people who are really trying hard to look like shills.

Prettier borderlands, a complete waste of Bungie's talents. This is the company that made halo and marathon and they put out this shit?

How many raids do you think vanilla destiny had?

Vanilla also had 5 strikes; 6 with the exclusive one

Also good job on ignoring pretty much every single other aspect of the game

It's even on the raid and strikes, plus all the rest of the content that you conveniently forgot to mention

At least do some google research or something

The Traveler wakes up and is pissed off and things, you go with it to another galaxy

>>389524218
that explains why he was always standing at that table looking at the map
he probably thought if everybody saw him pretending to read all the time it would never draw any suspicion

Is there any benefit in picking my original character from Destiny 1 as opposed to making a fresh character? Or is it just there to make you feel good?

>>389524419
Are you fucking autistic? Are you seriously defending the fact that Destiny 2's base game has the same amount of content as Destiny 1's when that was a primary complaint of the original game?

None of the other content is worthwhile anyway, strikes and raids are the only interesting parts of this franchise.

Off yourself you fucking 16 year old. I bet you've already pre ordered the expansion pass.

Destiny 1 was the type of game that just didn't need a sequel.

>>389524627
>Are you seriously defending the fact that Destiny 2's base game has the same amount of content as Destiny 1's
That's your retarded ass saying that, not mine

>None of the other content is worthwhile anyway, strikes and raids are the only interesting parts of this franchise.

That's your retarded ass saying that. The "primary" complaint, like you like to say, was the lack of story, overall content (OVERALL, not what your autistic brain wants to cherrypick), and horrible RNG management, which was fixed years ago

Uninformed retards like you give the game bad reputation over its objective flaws

>>389524940
Yeah, I'm sure Destiny is massively improved because theres some extra filler in the patrols that are still shit.

No one cares about Destinies story aside from normies who'll buy the expansion pass and microtransactions. Its four hours long anyway.

The RNG is the only thing that got fixed. Only took 3 $30 DLC's to achieve that though.

The game is a scam like the first. You fell for it again and are probably going full damage control because of your buyers remorse.

>>389524940

You say that like content is a well defined term.

Might as well say Overwatch has more content than D1.

cons:
peer 2 peer with no server verification on shots (client side authority on hits/kills)
terrible voice acted announcer
tiny maps with bad level design compared to other pvp shooters
terrible desync issues and bad interpolation
aim assist on PC with controller users

>>389525752
Alright, fuck it, look.

I hate Destiny because of how good it could be if they didn't push so much bullshit DLC in your face. I didnt feel like I got a full game when I bought D1 and then they proceeded to release DLC after DLC that not only added more content but fixed all the problems it had. It seems like this is the case in D2 also, maybe to a lesser extent because it has a bit more content, but I still get that vibe.

So yeah, enjoy it I guess, I'm just being a cunt in these threads because I'm bitter that such a great idea isnt getting its proper treatment, but I cant say I havent enjoyed games that have shitty business models before. Sorry for being so vicious just cause some guy is enjoying a game.

>>389497543
It's just a more advanced form of paywall content locking. They'll probably shut down D1 servers within few months too.
I'm genuinely disgusted by it. Like what the fuck

>>389526125
They wont shut down D1 servers within a year, there's too many copies of the game floating around and it attracts new customers who tried the first game, it's not a smart business decision

>>389519185

>>389525990
My guess is reviewers are somewhat dumbfounded as to reviewing it, you can only review the content that's currently out but it's a game with time-locked content most reviewers will never see.

>>389526180
It's destiny fanbase we're talking about. They'll happily swallow and ask for dlcs. Besides, every active D1 player is already grinding in D2, there is literally no point in going back to it unless you're newcomer.

>>389526125
if I were Activation I'd shut them down now

>>389496219

It looks and plays just like the original, which itself was huge letdown. If I buy this at all it will be when it hits the bargain bit at $20 or less.

It's DLC that was given the sequel moniker for the sake of a $60 vs. $30. There's simply not enough that I've seen to warrant a full game.

>>389526875
The only conceivable reason is to try and get carry over emblems, but fuck that.

Destiny 1 still has a large population to this day. Hell even on the Asian servers I always find matches for PvP or strikes pretty quick and that three years after launch. Considering so far that D2 has higher sales and is being received better than the original I'd say it's safe to bet it'll have a large population for a few years to come

I already called you an uninformed retard. Don't give me more reasons to reassure that

And don't use buzzwords and other shit like "normies" as a scapegoat to deny that everything the game comes with is CONTENT, whatever the fuck it is, and whether is pleases your retarded ass or not

>>389525495
Patrols, adventures, lost sectors, strikes, missions, loot (which doubles what vanilla destiny had, both exotics and legendaries), lore (in game lore), story, pvp, and the raid

There's a lot more, but it's easier to read retards parroting "hurr 5 strikes, 1 raid, game lasts for 4 hours". That meme came out of /v/ and you can easily spot other autists when they spread it on other media

>>389526123
I don't care what it was supposed to be. That ship sailed a year before the first game even came out because of how many people involved with the original ideas left and how much of the script was scrapped

What we have is all there is, and all there is is miles better than what vanilla destiny was

>>389528036
You only think you're having fun, if you look in the the /dg/ threads and converse with D1 vets, you'll come to understand the hole you've dug for yourself. Soon you'll be grinding for engrams doing the same monotonous pub event or strike hundreds of time in a week and want someone to end your suffering like they already do.

Destiny veterans are worse then Monster Hunter fanatics. They just don't care anymore.

>>389528268
No, as in I have only done the main story and nothing else on 3/4 planets. There is a shit load of side quests, adventures, lost sectors, and public events I have not even touched. I have not even done a strike, a heroic strike, or a nightfall.

You, don't seem to understand, Destiny 1 veterans are beyond "bored".

So is the Hive basically just the Burning Legion?

>>389528209
Which would you say has more content - D2 or D1+TTK?
Because I've ran out of things to do after I've leveled 2 characters to 40 and one to ~25 because it's fucking boring and tedious. Cleared KFHM and fucked around in shitty pvp. It took me slightly more than 2 weeks to do and I felt very disappointed in the game.

>>389528683
.... No

Is Nightstalker still in the game? I didn't see it in the beta and am worried.

>>389528706
D2.

D2, to me, has about the same content as the entirety of D1 and all its DLC story wise, and has a metric fuckton to do on the patrols. Seriously, there is so much to do on the EDZ alone.

>>389528741
Yes, you have to earn it back though.

>>389528791
So spending 20$ on it won't leave aftertaste as sour as D1+dlc did, huh. Well if there really is more content like you say, then it might just be worth it to wait for 3rd dlc and buy a bundle with 50% discount.

The ONLY way you could view the delayed release date as a bad thing is if you're a sucker who falls for hype and has to play on release. Of course, all of this is meaningless if the game really is shit from beginning to end.

>>389528979

The only part where I'd disagree with you. If you didn't start playing on PC yesterday, Destiny will feel like any other generic fps game, but with loot grinding. Other than that yeah - pc wins again baby.

>>389529386
Your right that the main downside is the dialog, but your wrong about shax.

There is a lore reason why he is the way he is and he is serious when he needs to be. He is the few places it works.

I should've worded it differently. By "fresh experience" I meant that it doesn't matter how similar 2 is to 1 if you've never played 1.

>>389529408

you do realize many shaders in the first game were super rare in the first place, right?

>>389529510
Fair enough. I've played D1 and I fully understand why it got so much praise then, just because it's a shooter with decent mechanics, that plays exceptionally well with controller. Must've been a marvel to a console players.

Yeah if you haven't played the first game this might be just that fresh experience. Although I didn't really like how some mechancis transferred from console to pc, particularly:
>forced lock-on instagib melee
>super floaty mid-air movement
Doesn't feel good at all on m+kb, but that's only an issue in pvp really, so whatever

Can I please get some fucking clarification on how bad the purchasable mods and armor is? I feel like that would be the COMPLETE death of any game that wasnt shilled so hard by console plebs.

>>389496927
It's supposed to sound more ebin. Legendart dev Bungie's magnum opus after decades of experience making "HALO".

Atleast that's what the 140+ mil advertising budget wants you to believe.

>>389529802
It's an oversensationalised misinterpretation being pushed by morons who hear the term "microtransaction" and trigger so hard they bomb Hiroshima again.
When you hit level 20, every level afterwards grants you a "Bright Engram" which can be decrypted for a pool of boosters, mods, shaders and other misc stuff. You can also buy these from Eververse, the microtransaction kiosk. People who don't understand how the game works are just looking at the fact that you can buy them and crying about how you can pay for a supposed advantage, which is bullshit, you'll drop Bright Engrams like candy from general grinding.

>>389501980
Maybe I'm being biased but I can usually tell the difference between one cod and another. I genuinely have a hard time seeing the difference between D1 and D2.

What did he mean by this?

>>389524410
What the hell. Why is everyone talking about it? Who buys playstation?

>>389530080
That's because every CoD is developed by a different studio from the last, in varying settings. That and CoD has been advancing graphically in leaps and bounds since CoD4.

Destiny and Destiny 2 retain the same aesthetic, the same core gameplay and are being released on the same platforms. Of course they look the same, it's like pointing out the Star Wars movies look the same.

>>389530075
How relevant are the items you get? First I heard that they were negligible upgrades. Now I am hearing that they are noticeable upgrades that are just gated by time if you dont want to rev up the credit cards. So if you pay 50 bucks do you get good shit or do you get "low level" gear from the loot boxes? Is paying for gear in a game with real money NOT a huge problem?

>>389529802
Everything you can buy with real money you can earn in game, just at a slower rate.

So, which class is more fun: Melee Hunter for spamming dodge rolls and melee, or Warlock for flying around buffing buddies?

>>389495738
Just got done with the main campaign, all things considered I thought it was pretty good. As short as the main campaign is it was fun, in-game story was interesting it isn't deep by all means but it's something that makes me theorize, and the characters although they have little to say in the main campaign you do get a good idea who they are and I like most of them. The game looks stunning (even though I'm on a ps4 - can't wait to see it maxed out on PC), the music is phenomenal - seriously the music that plays after you lose your powers and have to wonder the ruined city was fucking awesome. The gameplay is similar to Destiny which isn't a bad thing because Destiny had a very fun gameplay (everything else sucked though). That's my first impression at least, I'm going to play the mini missions or "adventures" those do expand upon the world and characters. So far Destiny 2 seems like what Destiny was suppose to be. Can't wait to play the raid.

>>389530351
Whenever a Weapon or Armour piece drops, it comes with one or so mods. Those same mods can drop from Bright Engrams, as far as I know it's anything from the overall pool.

So theoretically you could get an early advantage, but with how Destiny works, you'd be wasting your money completely. Basically, once you hit level 20, you're in endgame, your time is now spent grinding for various loot drops.

All gear dropped from the Engrams is intended to be used by level 20's, I can't remember if armour drops from Bright Engrams, but I know weapons don't, if gear does drop, they drop at a low light level, and must be infused with an item of a higher light level to be usable.

So I guess to answer your question, no, it's not a huge problem, because you'll drop Bright Engrams so often the advantage from paying for them is always going to be negligible.

>>389530380
So its pay to win? Yeah? Yeah. That is the definition of pay to win. So was I lied to when I was told that the loot box gear you get is low quality and you can acquire better stuff quicker through gameplay?

>>389530689
Oh calm down that's not pay2 win at all, the weapons aren't exclusive to paid players.

>>389530672
K that definitely sounds like damage control but at the same time reasonable to say that it truly isnt THAT bad. Either way this sounds like the kind of thing people on principle would normally bash so I get why people are shitting on it.

>>389530830
Well then its just shitty business practice that should be called out for being scummy bullshit.

It's because it's something that SOUNDS bad, but only because you CAN pay for it. In Destiny 1 they had a similiar system, you could drop up to three crates a week at one point, and they could contain shaders, ghosts, ships, sparrows, boosters or specific armour sets, and said sets could roll just as good or as bad as any other set in the game, but you still had to infuse them.

Destiny 2 is pretty much just continuing on from this, but integrating said boxes into the core gameplay. Previously you would drop some motes of light when you levelled up post 40, now you drop a Bright Engram, which will either have something useful, or something fun in it. I much prefer this.

Still 2 months op deployement. Can't wait to go home and play this all day long

Should I be an awoken warlock or titan?
Should I be an exo warlock or titan?
Should I be a human hunter or titan?
All girls

So I bought Destiny 2 because I thought I liked Destiny. I forgot the reason I didn't finish it, but it didn't matter because this would be better. It's a sequel after all.

Nope, it's boring as hell. After I put a good 5hrs into it, I realized "oh yeah this is why I never finished Destiny." I got bored of the first one just like I did this one.
Definitely going on my list of buyers remorse games of 2017. All of you fags having a blast must have friends to play with. Can't imagine having fun running solo everywhere.

After playing for 10 ish hours my light level is 220 something and I've already got 4 bright engrams for free. Not only did I get shit items and a couple modifiers, but I feel like it would take me longer to increase my light level by buying engrams than just playing the game.

>>389530689
This game is a great vale you entitled dumb fuck. I bought the $250 special edition and I still bought $60 in silver. You and your toxic attitude can go fuck itself.

I'd like to play it more first

So I was playing this game on my brother's PS4 earlier and I have to ask; Why do people even like this game? It's combat is just so boring. It's like a shitty mixture of Generic shooter game mixed with all the worst parts of Cool down MMO combat. The cool down timers for abilities are far too long. There's almost no difference between any of the classes except their super special abilities you get to use once every 5 minutes and when I do get to use them they look sorta cool but they end so abruptly. I just don't get it /v/.

>>389532047
In endgame you get mods, armor, and weapons that dramatically decrease cooldown timers.

I rented it at Redbox and played for an hour.. I can't get into it

>>389532047
Because I like the overall formula. Just like people like all those fighters that all play pretty much the same except for some different combos and parry timings.

>>389532224
>Just like people like all those fighters that all play pretty much the same except for some different combos and parry timings.
>this is what /v/asuals actually believe

>>389532120
Not him but it barely does shit.

You only get 1 super per match 2 if you're really good. Aside from that, cooldowns and abilities are weak and take too long to recharge. I'm level 20 BTW.

I hate that they catered to esportsfags for pvp

>>389532224
Good on you for having fun with it but I dunno, I feel like you could get a better action RPG experience from like Diablo 3 or path of exile. Granted they aren't FPS games so that might be a turn off for you if you don't like top down view.

>>389532120
I suppose that's nice but what do you do in the end game that makes the slog to get there worth it? Raid to get more gear so you can raid some more? Or is the PVP in the game where it's at?

>>389531885

Achievement for getting rooftops

>>389532497
Yeah but I was glowing too. It said I had commander's praise or something like that.

I played through all the main story content in D1 plus all expansions again just before D2 released and my opinion is very mixed on D1. Vanilla is straight up mediocre as hell, with content ranging from subpar to only slightly above average at best. TDB was a 3/10 garbage expansion, and HoW was overall a 5/10 as well for just being mediocre. Both TTK and RoI are 7/10 and overall I think Destiny, in its current, final state, is a straight up 6/10. It's slightly above average due to the strengths of its gameplay, art, sound, and final expansions.

So when I see faggots on here saying D2 is literally just more of the same I get the impression they've not played it or are just blatant shitposting. D2 is a pretty substantial improvement on everything D2 did wrong. The gameplay hasn't changed much on a minute to minute level, but the quality and quantity of content both skyrocketed. Campaign was pretty good, it had some fun dialogue and good characters, though also some exceptionally cringey shit lines too. Solid set pieces, and an actual story that I felt actually engaged with for fucking once.

Level design is great, environments are ridiculously gorgeous and the art direction is phenomenal. The music without Marty is surprisingly pretty damn good too. Patrol has a ton of content and even the weakest shit in D2 is better than almost anything in D1. And there is some pretty pitiful, weak shit in D2 don't get me wrong.

With only a day or two I'm still under first impressions but in all honesty I think it's a pretty huge improvement and it seems like the game vanilla D1 should have been. I feel like it's at least a strong 7/10 at the moment, maybe a light 8. I wasn't even intended on getting it since I didn't care for D1 much at all, but a friend gave me a copy so I figured I'd try it out and I'm rather glad I did. /v/ needs to lighten the fuck up sometimes and have some fun.

Playing alone, pretty chill. You can interact with other players too so I'm sure you can find some friends. Just shut off your brain when playing it, it's an effective mindless time waster for me so far.

arent the micotrans just about buying things like changing weapon elemental types? doesnt seem too much of a problem, seems good for pve sakes. wont do much in pvp lol.

also, ive already seen coverage of these microtrans my boy, people ARE talking about it

>>389530672
But that's not the full story.

It's the mods that come from said bright engrams. No one gives a shit about cool looking random level 1 armor that you can bump up with other armor. Mods however, aren't guaranteed from anything, but the fact that rather than just farm the shit out of them and wasting time, you can get what you want by throwing enough money at the silver trader. That's where the issue is. It wasn't a thing in the first game, but it's here right off the bat in 2. Sure you can't access it until level 20, but who the fuck cares about non max level weapons and armor.

The real issue will be what happens when the level cap is raised.

>>389527852
were talking about it right now, the DTG subreddit is in flames because of it

>>389535103
They're all crying about shaders and literally saying "bravo bungie".

Completely ignorant to the fact that by spending money you can get the perfect loadout for whatever you want.

WHY DOES THIS GAME HAVE SO MANY QUIPS REEEEEE

cool. Is M + KB compatible with this game on PS4? If not it's gonna be a little shitty.

>But it's not like, say, half-life linear. Or even borderlands unironically does level design better. It's literally corridors with no imagination. You just run through them, shooting everything. Make sure to follow the super obvious waypoint marker on your screen, you can't miss it!
>
>The point of not doing open world, and doing a closed, control experience, is to make that closed experience extremely tight and good. Which Destiny 1 & 2 fail to do.

The linearity can also refer to the overall design of how players are allowed to acquire power. In games like this and WoW the devs have carefully made sure you can't do anything outlandish which doesn't allow anyone to ever invest in the game.

You can't do anything that personally feels like you created it because they're trying to keep everything balanced.

Do you like shallow shooters with loot? Then this is for you. Its not very good, but its a time killer.

Did they remove the quests/progression tab? How do you track your quests now?

Press L2 on the Director's screen. Also look through your quest items to find out what you're supposed to do with them

Who Nightfall here?

I think it's a reference to Crystal Chamber. To defeat Atheon, who controls time and space, we need to turn the technology of the area against him, gaining the buff Time Vengeance, there comes the phrase "Guardians make their own destiny".

>>389542006
its "Guardians make their own fate."

>>389542059
Oh, thank you.
It's been a while since I've played.
Well, at least that's what I think.

>>389506793
I'm sorry that you are retarded.

I kinda want to buy it. Am I nuts for even considering this?

>>389542715
If you like Destiny 1 but wanted more of it then yes you will enjoy it, it's the next step after TTK/Rise of Iron improvements.
If you didn't like Destiny 1 and want a different game out of it then no you won't enjoy it.
I beat campaign and my Titan is level 20.

What is so bad about 30fps game have been 30fps since Atari coin-ops in the 1970's, it is traditional and better like vinyl records which everybody buys today. In ten years standard definition CRTs and old consoles will be back in fashion with the college teens.

I enjoyed D1 to the point it got repetitive as fuck and it also started to feel like if you really wanted to play the game the way it was meant, you should always have a party of friends to go with you and as an adult, gathering a party of people you know to play every day is not easy.

I believe D2 is the same, below average shooter when solo, decent with friends. 30 fps on PS4 makes any game almost unbearable for me so I probably wont be buying it. I just canceled my Limited edition order that was waiting for me at store and I probably wont be picking up the game at all. The beta didn't surprise me in any way and crucible felt as shit as always.
