reminder: sony paid 4 billion dollars for this game
remember bungie made sony shut down Factions 2 because they were jealous of how good it was
It's STILL not dead? Geez.
>>722731468This game and Marathon: Plagiarism Panic!
>>722731468farming for random rolls marked the decline of creativity in the game. they should have stuck with low drop rate curated rolls and activity-themed weapons and armors with unique effects. homogenizing everything turned the game into pure dogshit. arguing about anything else that came afterwards is grasping at straws
>>722731468too bad we'll never find out how much they paid for the Concord devs at Firewalk studios
OOOOOOOOOOOF
>>722731468destiny?more like dedstinkyhahaha
>>722731468>reset player power why?
>>722731468Starting to believe that theory that Bungie is trying to kill itself on purpose.
>>722738234So that the grind would continue endlessly.
>>722738234I guess like all LIVE SERVICE GAMES, there is huge power creep created as a result from endless Skinner box grind. This happens to all games like that. This is why I avoid this redundant genre altogether.
I think they should delete more content off their game, as is the staple.
Bungie actually pulling off using their "live service expertise" as a solid selling point for a multibillion deal must be one of the most successful corporate scams ever.
>>722731468Is there any way to replay older campaigns?Really liked that ocean platform planet and some later ones, but I presume they got deleted forever.The super computer on Mars one was cool too.What a bizarre development model desu
>>722738895I really wonder what Bungie's long term plan about that even was. Vaulting content forever makes onboarding new players really tough.
>>722738895>Really liked that ocean platform planetYeah, same. I would go back just to chill in that zone, but since it's deleted forever there's no point.
>>722738895no, they are for all intents and purposes lost media
>>722731468weren't they already doing that regularly with the sunsetting thing?
i am pretty sure sony only bought it to spite phil for buying call of duty
>>722731468They made so much from Helldivers 2 this year they can have another 10 years of constant flops.
>>722738895Destiny was one of the only true live service where the plot didn't wait for no one.
>>722738234They'd have to constantly balance old items for new content. Resetting player power makes it so the only actually valid loot is the one within the current expansion, the rest becomes cosmetic. Basically how WoW works now.
>>722739004I wish I understood why they'd do such a thing. WoW did it once with Cataclysm making the old Azeroth unplayable for a decade until they launched Classic but haven't really done it since so every expansion from TBC to WW are playable.
>>722734125I don't even know what all this means. Didn't we get tokens from the crucible to get stuff. I remember there used to be orbs falling from bosses with different colours. Last played during Forsaken. Got really cool bow from the Saint Valentine event.
>>722739739Cata is what caused me to quit WoW, I cannot imagine how a MMO would purposefully do something like that and it boggles my mind that Destiny 2 does it so freely.
>>722739595They absolutely did not earn 4bn let alone even 1bn off HD2.
>>722739880My dude go check the Sony financial reports for this quarter. Helldivers 2 boosted their income for the year by 40%.
>>722739931>>722739880>>722739595i wouldnt be surprised if HD2 is in the same boat next year, the game was going great but Sony really killed all momentum with the PSN account fiasco
>>722740015>killed all momentum with the PSN account fiascoOnly in your empty brain retard. HD2 makes 10x after the supposed "fiasco" lol. Sony invested a ton of money into HD2 it was developed for over 8 years that's how much sony knew it will be big.
>>722740273>Only in your empty brain retard. HD2 makes 10x after the supposed "fiascoyour next cope will be>b-b-but everyone is playing on console!
>>72274038948k 24 hour peak for a non f2p game is good numbers especially when its over a year old
>>722740389Holy cope.
>>722736804It's over
>>722736804>Pay more than Disney paid for Star Wars>11,000 playersoof size: BLACK HOLE
the second they started thinking about sunsetting they should have just made 3and then just like with destiny 1 you can go back and play the old shit if you want and go play the new shit with no consequence
>Microsoft and Bungie working together >both flourishing and flooded with success>Microsoft and bungie going on their separate ways>both struggling with no light at the end of the tunnel in sight
>>722741060please, bungie was entirely carried by people like marty back thenmicrosoft had little impact outside of marketing
>have giga nerds on dev team doing their best to make sexiest guns in gayminghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXFLu8cityA>meanwhile, greedy management thinks that game development stands in their way of making big $$$ making Product as fast as possiblehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLbvMWEAoyY
>>722731468yeah well the mobile game is making money though
>>722741907>sexiest guns in gaming
>>722731468Sony will just die just like Xbox did, they're retarded as well.
>>722742235This one is sex, yes, like an art deco space narwhal.
>>722731468>nooooo the engine can't handle content, we need to delete it (F2P shit have zero trouble with this, even on consoles)>waaaah stop getting too strong we need to reset your power level (it's literally just a number in this stupid game, there is no real difference between "level 1 enemy vs level 1 player" and "level 9999 enemy vs level 9999 player")Activision was right, if they just released a "new" game with same garbage bin engine (or a new garbage bin engine like UE5) and the same old ass assets every few years, none of their retarded fans would complain about it.
>>722742235Why does the mag have a way to the barrel.
>>722740778They didn't pay for Destiny 2, they paid for Bungie to help their first party multiplayer games, Bungie then proceeded to get them all cancelled.
Did they really delete content permanently?
>>722731468Sony made just about every mistake it could have in since the launch of the PS5. Release it when there wasn't enough of it.Hyped downed down.No First Parties titles.All the first party titles are narative movie games that take 200 million dollar to develop.Go all in on the wokest game in history. Spending 500 million to develop it.Buy Bungie a developer so cucked they're copy pasting art from devianart.After the dust has settled they still somehow come on top the PS5 is the best selling console ever, Xbox is about to leave the buisness once and for all because the Jeets don't see any point in having an American console they all grew up with Sony or PCs or worse Mobile Phones, Sony has the most profits ever and they're done literally nothing to deserve it.I am in awe if this was any other moment in history Sony would have left the console business with it's gigantic ugly box, stupid ass payment format, literally no games to speak of and subpar PSN features.
>>722742743They literally dont know how to re-implement some old things since it was made by another studio Activision brought in
>>722742795That and just about every talened person left the studio ages ago and it's now a drifting ship of theseus with almost none of the originals onboard except the money hungry jews.
>>72274274387% of content people have purchased is either outright deleted -they claimed "vaulted" as though it could come back but a recent court case had them admit that shit is not even archived at Bungie and they had to look up youtube videos of the content because they dont have it anymore- the rest had its rewards tiered out like adding an expansion to WoW with a 10 level increase so lvl.60 weapons are so outclassed by lvl.70 they are redundant.The vast majority of the games setting has no reason to exist or outright got deleted.
>>722731468since when has there ever been any "player power" in destiny. Shit power scales everything once you exceed the relative light level of any given content. It's always keeping up with the Joneses. One of the most unrewarding "loot" games I have ever played.
You know its bad when the "buh-b-uh-but the gamefeel!" sunk cost assholes are all quiet and playing Warframe instead. Like the game had higher numbers in Curse of Osiris when the game was '3 weeks from closing doors'.
>>722740778How is this even possible? Was Lucas cheap or is sony just insane?
>>722743683Sony panicked because Microsoft hadn't lost a shit ton of money building data centers for the AI bubble thats now bursting and was buying up anyone and everyone.
>>722741253honestly it seems like Bungie and MS tard wrangled each other
>>722742743"Vaulted" and "Sunset" is a doublespeak, they are rightfully afraid people get mad. At least back when it was introducedLast tech excuse I've heard is that with any miniscule patch they needed to recompile and repackage the whole game file. Even if it's just a couple of numbers changed. While that could be somewhat true, it's still an excuse to not do any work, or try hard with new content being as interesting as old one. Maybe they bled too much technical specialists and just couldn't fix it or make a new dev pipeline.Destiny is honestly almost at the level of Star Citizen of retardation and greed, it's impressive how it still exists.
>>722742649Well to be fair sony cancelled it themselves. After they realized they spent all that money on a studio with no relevant expertise that has just been coasting off past success
>>722731468won't be missed
>>722741060When will you retards get it. There is no microsoft, there is no bungie. There was a group of people that was good at making halo games that existed for about a decade. Some of them worked for ms, some for bungie, but the group is disbanded now, not only have the people left, they are all gone as they went to become different people. Corporations and brands don't do anything.This is like thinking you and your dead wife can be back together if you date a different girl with the same name. That's not how it works
I still can't understand the appeal of Destiny
>>722746079Agreed, so act like it!
>>722740389>SteamLast major update hit 300k players, consoles make u pthe majority
>>722743736The thing about data centers is that you can use them for other shit
>>722740778>>722742649>>722745743The Bungie purchase is perhaps the single worst buyout in finance history.Bungie owns no IPs worth anything, has nobody working it is that is worth keep hiring, and their cashcow is on its deathbed. They've brought nothing but shame and bad press.It's quite literally>money stolenat this point.
