Be honest, you kind of like Destiny 2.
>>724249158It just never quite reached its full potential and with all the layoffs and Sony buyout it probably never will.
>>724249158I want to like it. I've wanted to like it ever since I played it. When I played the Foresaken Campaign, and during certain parts of Beyond Light and Witch Queen I did like it. Taking the Forerunner into Crucible and slapping cheeks with a bunch of sidearm mods was some of the most fun I've had in a PVP game.Right now I don't like Destiny 2.
>>724249158It feels more like Halo and Infinite. Its a shame Bungie mismanaged it to hell and vaulted a ton of the content. A Destiny 3 could have done very well but they decided to make looter shooter slop instead.
No trade no buy
I only play Rising.
>>724250093WOULD both
>>724249158Gameplay HARD carries.
>>724250301it's not even that good
All PvE content is shit outside of Raids, Raids+ prep for Raids is to much of a time commitment. PvP is full of sweaty tryhard meta chasing players. No thanks, I'm good.
>>724249158I like the idea of Destiny 2
>>724250664I don't know about shit. Maybe I'm starved for proper enemy AI and design, but there are few games out there I know of that have five or six different enemy factions that ACTUALLY fight differently. Even the Taken, the literal fucking copy-paste faction, remix enemy strategies enough to make clicking them fun enough.They're not always difficult and instanced content can be really repetitive depending on what it is, but so far as stuff to shoot in a game about shooting stuff goes, I think Destiny PVE was pretty good.At least every time I go back to Warframe I miss the variety; where I'm prioritizing targets and swapping weapons based on what I'm up against instead of mashing my abilities and holding down LMB in the direction of the damage numbers.
>>724250553It is though.
>>724250553It really is one of the best feeling FPS games ever made in terms of shooting and movement and combat loop, I don't know how they did itToo bad it's in service to a mediocre content at this point
>>724249158I did, right up until they couldn't afford Nathan Fillion anymore. And they pushed an entire expansion of tranny shit. And went full girlboss.
>>724249158I did before, and I still liked the gameplay. It's just a shame about the literally everything else.
>>724251849Lightfall will always be a huge shit stain on Destiny that will never be fully cleansed.But this is what you get from a dev team based in Seattle, I'm amazed Final Shape was as good and unpozzed as it was.
>>724249158I got bored at beyond light and dropped it mid way through witch queen making your progress reset every season was retarded desu, but it's way easier to get to whatever number we're at now than 315 or 400. This game also broke friendships so I never want to touch this tripe again
>Marathon test is up>bungie shills making destiny 2 threadYOU'RE GETTING LAID OFF NEXT YEAR
The art for this game is kino.
Borderlands mogs.
>>724249158d1 was betterd2 felt like an arbitrary move to sell more units and then they just gave up on ever doing 3
>>724250301It's not even as good as d1 but granted I dropped it shortly after trials came out because it was 4 player teamshot meta and not 3
>>724253720It really never misses. I was obsessed with Destiny as it originally released from beta to vanilla, and the first expac. Crazy to think that was over 10 years ago.
>>724253720It really is a peak mythic sci-fi setting and I'm not sure why this genre isn't explored more when it has so much potential.Usually we either get fantasy in space or hard sci-fi but it can be blended really well
>>724250301>gameplayGameplay was shit since shadowkeep newfag
>7 million users across all platforms at its height>Down to 30,000 with a 10,000 daily login average and droppingEven WoW has never been THIS over.
>>724254354I just wished they focused more on the high-fantasy old-world meets high tech vibe instead they made the story gay af and grounded and about a bunch of gay tranny robots with wacky personalitiessuch a generational fumble
>>724254506they actually sabotaged their own game, they could have literally done nothing and it probably be better than where it is now
>>724254319>>724254354I could stare at Destiny skyboxes forever.
>>724254698That was one expansion which everyone agrees is the worst in the series, Final Shape leaned heavily on the more fantastical side of Destiny and I think they nailed it
>>724249158>liked the gameplay>liked the art direction>liked how they did (some of) the secrets>game is structured like a torture gauntlet that never ends>lore went from vague to bland to fucking retarded>the existence of pvp negatively affects everything you want to do if you don't play it, makes you want to kill others/yourself if you do play it>"hey want some cosmetics without pulling out your credit card? too bad! have this terrible emote/shader!">seasonal shit ranges from kinda fun (the first few runs) to barely functional slop designed by interns>somehow keeps getting worseaint touching any GaaS garbage ever again

>>724249158Loved it but after TFS I was done with it. Shame we'll probably never get another game like it since it was probably expensive as hell to make and maintain.
>>724249158I did until they deleted most of it. Quit the day they announced content vaulting and never looked back. I do miss it sometimes, but you'd have to be a fucking retard to give money to a company who's already stolen money from you.I can still quote a lot of the D1 lore entries from memory. The setting and aesthetic deserved better than Bungie.
>>724253720it’s not when you look at the armor
The only neat thing in the entire current expansion is a flashback to Ikora in the 1960's as low level employee of no import at a bootleg version of Remedy's FBC and getting hit by a train on the way home. That was it and its not as good as some seasonal story beats it just makes her setting up her not-fbi glowie order both sad and ironic. I think the aim was "look what a black woman does when not held down by the patriarchy" but it doesn't really work that way when the original person was a meek wet blanket nerd and not a violent skinhead.
>>724250093this, it's unironically the better game right nowit's not even that good, d2 is just that bad
I wonder what the player base for Destiny 1 is these days because somehow that's still online.
>Introduce friendly hive wizard guardian called Luzaku in TFS>Big win with fanbase>Never mention her again>New director who is a big fan of streamer Lobosjr hires his brother as a self insert oc because he looks like the streamer and becomes the new mary sure of the franchise>nobody likes himtypical bungo
>>724256332I look like this and do this.
>>724257247Wasn't she a buddy in one of the seasonal activities?
>>724257247I actually like Lodi, I mean compare him to fucking Nimbus and it's not even closeAt least the new writers aren't as big of hacks as whoever wrote Lightfall
>>724249158yeah, not gonna play it ever again though
>>724249158I played it twice, once all the way back in the open beta before launch and once when it went "free to play" (with 3 areas to explore, 1 mission and levelcap you reach before you exhaust this miniscule content). Both times I didn't like the gameplay and have no idea what the fuck people praise in it, it just felt like HALO but you can throw a knife or punch super hard once every 5 minutes
>>724249158I liked it back when I could ignore Bungie's terrible decisions because of good enough content and excellent raids/dungeons/campaigns. Clearly that isn't the case anymore and the stakes feel even more artificial than the witness saga>>724249342Arguably it never could have under Parson and the retard that talked about trains
>Once again, he found himself wishing the 2013 reboot of Destiny never happened
>>724258917On the other hand, Lightfall was literal filler whereas this has been in purposeful development
>>724249158I tried Destiny 1 and really didn't like the gameplay>sprint>ADS>you either one-shot enemies or spend 10 minutes shooting at them because of gear score I could tell it had potential but, fuck, gameplay is so fucking dogshit bad
