https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/d2_may_21_2026Next update is the last. Is it over for Bungie?
>>739313695TL; DR?
>>739313695>they are actually going all in on MarathonBungie will not exist by next year
Will they FINALLY allow Linux players to play with Proton?
>no more updates for destiny 2>marathon floppedbungie has nothing left lmao, congrats on wasting billions sony
>kill your franchise
>>739314248Only way forward now is to turn Destiny into a movie and TV franchise I guess.
>>739314109The setting is better than destiny, they can adjust the gameplay to users tastes
Maratroon sisters, we're next aren't we?
Come home white man.
>Many changes in this final update will aim to ensure that Destiny 2 is a welcoming place for players to return to.So they're un-vaulting all content, right?
This seems like layoffs for everyone who isn't on Marathon unless Sony is actually going balls deep on giving them another $500 and 5 years to make Destiny 3.
Will they bring back the planets and campaigns they vaulted? Will players ever be able to play Forsaken again?
>>739313695KWAB
>>739314130I am also curious about this.
>>739314404Lol
>>739314379hahahno
>>739313695ESCHARUM KEEPS WINNING
>>739313695They're giving up Destiny 2 for THIS?
>>739314404LMAO>>739314379LOL>>739314391They're going balls deep into marathon, these retard as gonna twist it until it fits destiny shoes(it wont)
The management after the release of the Beyond Light expansion was iffy with the content vaulting, but I stayed because the environment design is really nice, the exotic weapons and armor are fun to play as well as the superpowers. The guns also feel really nice to shoot.I hope they can use this time to focus on bringing everything back that was once lost to the content vault.
I can't believe they literally Destiny for Marathon of all things. They didn't even tease a D3.
>>739313695ive never played this game once in all those 12 years
Good bye old friend.
>>739313695I stopped playing this crap once they started deleting content to "save storage space"Good riddance.
>343 lasted longer than BungieLMAO
>>739313695the pedophiles in /dg/ must be seething lol
>>739314379ROFL
>Sparrow Racing League (SRL) returns as a permanent addition, reopening tracks from the original Destiny experience and adding a new space to race opponents on.>We've created a new, unique weapon set to earn by competing in races.Armor sets return with a new set bonus, and numerous cosmetics (including horns) will be available to earn.ACTUALLY BASED
>>739313695MaraGODS rule this companyDestinysisses KNEEL
>>739314862why would they seethe over the best news they've had in years?
>>739314004Latest major update literally sent the game into it's death throes and now bunghole is putting everything into Marathon. Star Wars killed Bungie
Killing D2 without even a teaser about D3 tells me shit must be fucking dire at Bungie after Marathon.
>>739314712>we will begin work incubating our next games>Once we have more news to share on Destiny, you'll be the first to knowif this ain't a tacit d3 confirmation idk what is
why you fucking retards want 3? did you forget how bad 2 at launch was? It's gonna be a fucking repeat of that
>>739314938because they are a bunch of pathetic pedos who can't move on from the game
You guys dumb or something?They're killing it because Marathon flopped so they need all hands on deck for Destiny 3 to actually salvage the studio.
>>739314985There is no D3. The Beyond Light expansion for D2 pretty much replaced what would have most likely been the base game release for D3.
>>739313695Now that they don't have the original excuse (it's too much work to make sure everything works with updates) they should unvault all the old stuff.
>>739314961>betting the house on Marathon>the game that's dipping a toe into falling beneath 10k CCU on Steam, where it's the lead platformWhat the fuck am I reading? Did someone ask an AI to make their business plan?
>>739313695Oh thank god this means they're going on Destiny 3.
>>739315208they're not making it to D3 dude
>>739315260Well that would be a similarly positive outcome.
>>739315136lolthey'll flounder with marathon for at least another yearthe only d3 leaks implied that it was nothing but a few paragraphs thrown togetherbungie won't be around to make it in a year's time
>>739315136Where would they even go for Destiny 3?The Witness, the central antagonist responsible for all the bad stuff in the Destiny universe is dead now. It seems like they've been trying to find a new direction after the end of The Final Shape, but it appears nothing was really working.
>hmm do we unvault all the content so players get to enjoy all the content we ever made for this EOS game?>Nah fuck em lmaoTotal Bungie Death. Shame Stop Killing games couldn't prevent this.
>>739315193based AI speedrunning bungie death
>>739315173LOLMAO
>>739315372the mobile game is already a different universe, just make a third one
>Destiny ends with Star Wars
Destiny 3 will be announced at the state of play
>>739314961ok i believe in the force now
they don't have a choicenow it's either D3 or death for the studio
>>739314841halo infinite ended content updates sooner than destiny 2 tho
>>739314961What did the star wars collab do that was so bad, outside of being a star wars collab
>>739315372Major timeskip. The end of D2 is the start of a second golden age and the start of D3 is the aftermath of its fall.
>>739313695I'll buy the version with all the content in it if I ever see it for $15~Still fucking unbelievable that they completely erased a chunk of the game. But really they should just port D1 to PC.
>>739315327I mean yes obviously they're not going to shut down Marathon either, but it's not like it can be salvaged so it's just going to be milked for what it's worth(my prediction is F2P half a year after launch)>>739315372just invent a new threat like all the other sci-fi franchies that have been running for too long, that's the least of their worriesor they can just reboot
>>739315574We just had Firefight: The Gauntlet come out of nowhere.
ACCELERATE
kek
>>739313695Sony bought them for FOUR (4) BILLION DOLLARS btw
>>739315582I am a fortnite player but I can answer that : Star Wars as a franchise has been so ruined that it is not a broadly appealing franchise that can get away with being the focus of a whole miniseason in fortnite, let alone A WHOLE SIX MONTH EXPANSION IN DESTINY 2.Plus in Fortnite it was largely just a month of star wars slop, in Destiny 2 if you're big on story stuff you basically got an advertisement for star wars instead of actual plot lmao
>>739315372The Witness wasn't the ultimate Big Bad in Destiny.We still have the Winnower and the Gardener.
don't get your hopes up for a Destiny 3
>>739315717I don't think I can hate and not play Marathon more than I already can. I wish I could.
>>739314248Technically they actually brought Bungie for their live service expertise, to advise them on other games within SonyBut that doesn't seem to have worked out very well either.
>>739313695ONE FINAL ACT OF ENTROPY.https://files.catbox.moe/lmsevr.mp4
>>739313695I still contend, all these years later, that Bungie leaving Microsoft was a massive mistake for both companies. MS lost their flagship and were never able to replace it. 343 was a failure. Bungie got their wish to make something new, and it ultimately destroyed them. As much as they like to think their culture created Halo, in reality, Halo created their culture. They needed MS to keep them on track. If they just went the Infinity ward route, they would be much more relevant today.
>>739315582When they announced it, this is how the playerbase reacted.1. Holy POG it's starwars and droids and lightsabers thats so sick i can use a frickin lightsaber in gameor, more commonly2. So clearly they have no plans or visions for the game if they're doing collab shit, especially with fucking star wars (this was when disney was at it's utter lowest a few years back)
>>739315840Pretty sure Winnower/Gardener are just different names for the Witness.
>>739315868The time to announce it would be in Sony's State of Play in June.If there's no D3 announcement there, it really is over.
>>739315040It's a lifeline. Now if Sony cuts them off because Marathon is in the red then they'll have social media backlash about cancelled projects.
>>739315920>few years backI thought the update came out in december? How long ago was it?
Genuinely why not just put a skeleton team on that can unvault all the deleted content?It's fucking retarded that the game has basically been deleted 3 times over
>>739313695OHNONONO SAVE ME PAUL TASSI
>>739313695>DESTINIY 2 EOS>FOR REALLMAOOOOOOOOOO
>>739313695>they really killed it for marathon, game already one foot in the gravethey HAVE to be working on destiny 3 by this point
>>739315986D3 doesn't exist and never will. Like idk how much clearer it needs to be made for you people
>>739315909>Bungie got their wish to make something new, and it ultimately destroyed them.Bit of a slow death considering the two Destiny games lasted them twelve years.
will the game be watchable now
I never understood the success of this franchise, you can post a name or an image of some character and is literal who.
>>739316061Because even skeleton crews have to be paid, and Sony have already wasted a considerable sum on Bungie.
uh oh
>>739316125That's odd to me because it fits in with Sony's live service push and the Destiny IP is known and could be revitalized.But then I saw this in /dg/ and I guess it really is over for Destiny.
>>739316061Didn't they LITERALLY delete that content? even from their own shit?
Sony bought this studio for 4 billion usd and they aren't even handing D2 to a backup studio?what a waste of fucking money
>>739316198>>739316241Who the hell is this guy?
>>739316241>because it fits in with Sony's live service pushThe live service push was the *last* regime. What's coming out now is the stuff with costs sunk far enough that they weren't prepared to cancel them before release. Marathon's among the last of them.
>>739316287Some anon on resetera
>>739313695I dropped it after completing TFS. Bungie should have ended it there.
>>739313695Yeah, and with Marathon flopping Bungie is next on the chopping block for Sony.Deserved for whoring themselves out to every big publisher ever
I won.
IT'S OVER TASSIBROS!!!!!!
>>739316287the guy
>>739314004its over
>>739316390Very satisfying to watch this guy go from shilling marathon to being pissed
>>739315582Zoom zooms dont like star wars.
>>739313695It was alive at some point??
>Pete Parsons actually somehow convinced Sony that Bungie was worth 3.6 billionHe wonHe fucking scammed those suckers and got away with it
>>739313695good, Marathon is the better franchise and marathon 2026 is the better game>>739314248Destiny 2 flopped much harder than Marathon actually
>>739314004Marathon flopped so hard sony cant afford to mass hire for d2 whilst developing d3.So in the end they chose to end D2 and move the entire team to work on D3.In contrast, D2 was developed in junction with D1, there was only a 1 year gap between the latest D1 expansion and D2 release. Since they are stuck supporting marathon they cant afford to do that and since sony has lost hundreds of millions on bungie already its not feasible to mass hire to support the development of d2 and d3.
>>739315840>just kill entropy, mass, and thoughtItd be fun concept wise but theres no chance they would be willing to get into esoteric bullshit like that.
Halo won.
>>739316492Destiny 2 literally has more players than Marathon RIGHT NOW
>>739316538D3 isn't in development broMaybe they started now, but it's gonna take 6 years
>>739316287What's more amazing is how he hasn't been banned for wrongthink for how much he dunks on Marathon.
MARATHON BROS HOW WE FEELING
>>739314004final live service update, updating old gear to make it fit with modern gear, adding some shit, some QOL, permanent price cut on all content and making a version of the game that will include all paid content, not bringing back deleted content.
Does this mean they will finally bring back The Red War, Curse of Osiris, Warmind and Forsaken?
>>739316378based, it really was final.
>marathroon failed so damn hard it killed the studio after sony wasted 3.6 billion dollars on itBASEDTOTAL WOKE DEATH
>>739316061>vaultIts gone. Gone gone. Its been deleted they lost the hard drives.
>>739316591the winner of a retard fight is still a retard
I got my money's worth. Maybe as a larf I'll delete all my old characters and start fresh just to see how bad it really is for a new character.
>>739316620Bungie will not exist 6 years from now
>>739316125Elder Scrolls 6 may as well doesn't exist now and certainly didn't exist in 2018, didn't stop Todd from announcing it
>>739313695holy shit. marathon actually killed bungie
So what you're telling me is that Destiny is going to enter... its Final Shape?
>>739316735Horrendous, and it's been so since they vaulted the Red War. I can't even imagine how lost a brand new player is at this point.
>>739316152Well, thats because you never interacted with it enough to see why people stuck around, it wasn't just this empty game where you ran around patrol zones or did the same strike missions on repeat. Destiny always had some great moments that rivaled Halo but ultimately it was all squandered because Bungie didn't learn a single thing about all their struggles with Destiny (2014) and went on to go make D2 which not only had way more fucked up problems but they spent years picking up the pieces instead of carrying what Destiny Age of Triump / Rise of Iron.
>>739314985nigger, Marathon is doing pretty well for an extraction shooter, all things considered. The whole reason Bungie is in the hole right now is because of D2. its an antiquated, unsustainable type of live service model. The entirety of the impairment loss is on D2. Not Marathon.
>>739316882>Marathon is doing pretty well for an extraction shooterIt cost 250million dollars
>>739315921No; the Gardener and Winnower exist outside the universe and are responsible for the para-causal forces of Light and Dark.The Witness was simply a race of people who was initially visited by the Traveler and then discover the Veil
>>739316675>He doesn't know its actually his tax money getting flushedThe woke will continue until you stop being a retard, renounce citizenship and move to mexico. Its gotta be pretty empty by now.
>>739316882>Marathon is doing pretty well for an extraction shooter, all things considered.
>>739316869Destiny 1 was sadly a case of Activision deciding they wanted a live service looter shooter and you can see the remnants of the next Halo Bungie actually wanted. In comparison Destiny 2 knew what it was from the get-go and is worse for it.
>>739314004>TL; DR?
They will probably make more money off of the game after this than they did in the last couple years. It's more appealing to get into a game like this when all the content is out and you don't have to worry about the devs fucking you over with paywalling even more shit.The gameplay itself is still great so I can see people playing it the same way people play diablo but not having seasons like diablo will hurt it a bit.
>>739316882Mate, Marathon would be doing fine if it was an indie game made by a 15-man. Budget that went into it is probably more than most extraction shooters combined.
>>739316882steamchart this nigga NOW
>>739316862vaulting content is such a crazy thing to do. Even when warframe "vaults" stuff, it is just items that you can still trade for and will come back at some point. They needed to hire someone to fix the filesize like helldivers did if that was their reason.
>>739316882>Marathon is doing pretty well>$250m to dev, another $50m at least to market>$4m a month on salaries>sold maybe 1.5m copies that made Bungie around $50-60m in pre tax revenue>the break even point was 8-9m copies before they could make a profit>Bungie put even MORE expensive devs on Marathon to try to save it, so now they probably need to sell a total of 10m copies to break even>has lower CCUs on Steam than Destiny 2>is barely keeping its head above 10k peaks>is dead during EU/Asia hoursThere is no universe in which Marathon is 'doing well.'
>>739316882>Marathon is doing pretty well for an extraction shooter
We exist together now, two corpses in one grave.
>>739313695Sony buying Bungalo will forever be the most expensive and funniest gift to gamers all around the world.
>>739316882Lol, yeah no anon. You can't just make such stupid fucking statement when the proof is just 2 clicks away.
>>739314342Destiny's setting was fantastic too until they shat on it
i guess you can say it met its destiny
Almost 10 years and we never got the original tower back. :(
>>739316882Both models are dog shit and the impairment loss is on Jason Jones' transition
>>7393172342
>>739313695more like DEADstiny
So Warframe officially won?
>>739317101helldivers wasn't bloated because it had a lot of assets, it was bloated because the devs were fucking morons. HD2 was like fucking 150GB with a fraction of the content D2 currently has
>>739317292Yep
destiny bros... what happened?
>>739315396It's being shut down BECAUSE of DKG though.Basically devs are emergency closing most dying online games before they are forced to produce offline versions by SKG.
>mfw Warframe outlived both Destinies(and is about to outlast Marathon)
>>739316462why are you saying that like it's a bad thing?
>>739317348>devs were fucking morons.Is that untrue of bungie?
>>739317393That's not it because SKG would not apply retroactively.
>>739317292Yes.Digital extremes:>We want to make another game>Let's make a b-team for Warframe so we don't go bankrupt>b-team does very well, new (internal) player recordsBungie:>We want to make a new game>Let's completely abandon Destiny to do this>???>Profit
Completely genuinely, as a tourist who didn't play it (the only thing I know about Destiny is Cayde and the Traveler): what did they fuck up so bad? D2 players don't act like WoW players where the game is some-ups-but-mostly-downs, they act like the game has been chain-raped every patch since launch.Was it too grindy? Were the raids bad? Was the story bad? WoW's worst expansion was Shadowlands and even that gets some devil's advocates (great raids). D2 doesn't even manage that, the only positive thing I've heard about D2 in years is that Final Shape wasn't as nightmarishly bad as Lightfall.
>>739317393>BasicallyBasically, youre retarded.
>>739317292Yeah, although Digital Extremes made some super questionable choices with trying to be a publisher over a brief stint of time.
>>739317391Is this The Final Shape of the Destiny fanbase's cope
>>739317076>seasonsNo one ever liked seasons. This cancerous fomo garbage disappearing would only bring more players back to whatever game its removed from. The sort of people that enjoy seasons are the same whales that buy all the stuff they want, then quit until there's more stuff to buy. Banking on them is a losing strategy because it'll feedback loop your game into a nightmare absolutely no one wants to play but whales. Well, that would be true if they didn't get losses covered by blackrock, tax credits and gubmint subsidies. What they do with these live service games looks suspiciously like what all these WEF Epsteinites are always saying the future will be like. Really makes you think.
>>739315469it's like pottery
>>739317418True but the helldivers devs were intentionally copy pasting files like crazy because they thought it was the key to keeping HDD load times low. They reduced the filesize by ONE HUNDRED THIRTY GIGABYTES by deleting the copied files.
>>739316882>Marathon is doing pretty well for an extraction shooter, all things consideredlollmao
>>739316620The decision to start development of d3 was made this week. Expect paul tassi and jason schreier to get news from bungie employees about it next week. When bungie execs will let the entire studio know what their next few steps are.
They're so fucking retarded jesusThey release a very good patch right before they die?D3 is like 5 years away AT BEST, and that's IF they decide to go for another Destiny game
>>739317124How is it possible that I'm NOT a businessman yet saw the Bungie purchase being a ripoff from a mile away? Sony got FLEECED.
>>739317535You should actually read posts before replying. I'm talking about DIABLO style seasons.
>>739317292Warframe is hilariousyou can shit on a game's lore, turn it into even more blatant goonbait (even gay goonbait), add microtransactions out the ass, continue powercreep, add features that spit in the face of the game's original genre and vision, and even add doses of goyslop and the game's CORE AUDIENCE will eat it up and BEG for more and it's entirely because it's clear that the people in charge of Warframe still love it the same way the core audience does.warframe didn't winRebecca won
Sony spent almost $4 billion on this.
>>739317520kek i remember this gold, was it from the vaulting?
>>739317617holy fucking grim
End of the road, no D3 ever
>>739315868If it's not at State of Play it's over
>>739317435Reteoactively as in already closed games, not currently running ones.
>>739317292
>>739317489Things that were never bad:>music>raids and dungeons>gunplayThings that went to shit as the years went by:>Story>Monetization>Balance>Vaulting content + seasons being dry>The portal (this one gets the official kill on the game)D2 had only a handful of objectively good expansions, and only two or three actually good seasons. The rest vary from serviceable to fucking shit. They take 6 months to patch/balance the smallest of things tooThere's just so many bad decisions one after another, and for over a decade, whenever they had their backs against a wall, they released one (1) good expansion that reeled everyone back inNot this time
>>739317623Thats bungie execs for you, they went all in on marathon lmao.
>>739317535The seasons were disappointing because the tranny writing team was garbage. If the writers were good and could make compelling stories week to week that keep you hooked like many streaming shows do the seasonal model could have worked but the seasons had some of the worst story lines ever made.
Wait hold the phone, so you're telling me that Bungie are abandoning Destiny which had 2x 3x the playercounts than Marathon does across all 3 platforms, and their plan is to siphon all that work flow from what would have been D2 Y9 into making Marathon more like Destiny?Are they legitimately retarded? I cant even begin to grasp at the mental gymnastics that they're doing in order to pump up their newest stillborn. This is legitimately some shit you cant even justify unless your some big company executive that has no soul, no idea what they're doing, and is ready to golden parachuate themselves out of the hurling plane.
>>739317709Love me space-momLove bullet-jumping around like a fucking spazSimple as
>>739317489It was literally just Marathon that killed them.They completely abandoned D2 1-2 years before Marathon released
>>739317623I could see Bungie do something incredibly stupid like in 2 years saying they are bringing Destiny 2 back instead of making a proper sequel
>>739315372An ancienter evil awakens.
>>739317798They honestly always needed the overbearing control of Microsoft. Without it, their success would never have occurred.
>>739317520lmaoooo
>>739317489Vaulting content was probably their biggest sin that made me hate them.Like imagine if you were to go back to play WoW, but you find you cannot access or do anything from Legion or Cata, the entire expansion content is just removed. Then you're told it MIGHT come back someday, but until then you have to play Shadowlands only.
the concordian timeline spares no one...
LMFAO THE BUNGTRANNIES HAVE BURNED THE BOATS ITS MARATROON OR BUST RAPEDBROS NOW WHAT TIME TO PLAY THE MULTIPLAYER GOTY 2026 MA NIGGAS S2 STARTS ON 2ND JUNE
That's good!
Damn. Thats kinda sad. I made some cool friends in destiny.Oh well. Over to the division 2 I guess.
>>739317798I think the logic is that Destiny 2 at best can stave the bleeding off, while Marathon can potentially grow since its a new franchise.
>>739317709Warframe is space runescape, that shit will never die.
>>739317798adios destibro
>>739317670All business people are nepo hires driven by bonuses. In their gut they know something is wrong but their brain tells them to shut up and go with it so they can cash out their stocks in 2 years
>>739317706Which are functionally the same thing as Destiny 2 seasons retard.
>>739317976They are not you fucking idiot
>>739317709'Becca love is overstated, without Steve's weird sensibilities for game dev there would be no warframe. but it is funny to think how a single community manager kept the game popular and fun throughout it's entire run by virtue of actually playing the game she portends to represent which SHOULD be the theoretical bare minimum.
>>739317798>Are they legitimately retarded?This is the company that misspends money so badly that Microsoft (dipshit extraordinaires who basically own the money printers) said "no thanks you burn through money too quickly" to buying them out. You tell me.
>>739313695this is actually pretty sad. Final Shape was a great ending to the game but they just couldn't let it go. They never should have tried to continue it. Now the entire Destiny saga ends with a Star Wars crossover that had very little to do with the overall story. Ended with a whimper instead of a bang.
>>739317937can’t believe they killed d2 for that shit, it still has less players than d2 WTF. do they think this will help marathon somehow? it’s about to get more vitriol than ever now
Is it still, even after the final update, impossible to play the entire campaign start-to-finish as a story game? Did they still sunset like the first half of the game's story?
>>739317520This display of devotion to any product should literally be used as a warning to people
>>739317942Is that game actually good
I never actually played Destiny 2 for more than a couple days, but I remembered really liking the new player experience with that bit when you follow the bird, it was really well done. I decided to give it a try again after a couple years but I somehow last my account so I was looking forward to seeing that scene again. When I realized they removed it and replaced the new player experience with basically nothing, I knew Bungie was cooked.
Reminder that it was Bungie's "live service consultation" that led to TLoU2 multiplayer being cancelled
Pathways Into the Light™
>>739314109>they are actually going all in on Marathon>>As our focus turns towards a new beginning for Bungie, we will begin work incubating our next games.they were "incubating" some 5 projects before slowly flopping out Marathon like a constipated turd. this is clearly coded corpo language for them being downscaled and dismantled by Sony going forward.its actually over.
>>739317998Warframe's biggest strength is the fucking devstream couch95% percent of the issues in the game industry right now could be fixed if devs just sat on a fucking couch during a livestream every month. That shit has prevented so much retarded shit from appearing in Warframe.
What the actual fuck were they thinking? They legitimately hit a home run despite massive issues with Destiny and they threw it all away for a fucking extraction shooter thats dead 2 months after release
>>739318006Yeah, for some reason they're paying the salaries of hundreds of employees who quite literally do nothing.Comittees of fat women, black women, troons, and then HR are probably bulking up the company by like 100 people. Useless individuals all around
>>739313695If bungie survives and D3 gets made, marathon will be the biggest catastrophe any dev studio has made and survived
>>739318069It's awright. I enjoy at least. Still getting updates. Crossplay is coming this year.
>>739317798>>739317937I can’t really understand what’s going on in Bungie’s minds. Sony has to be dropping bombs on them for this shit? Like how did they convince Sony for this direction? Well wait, Sony is stupid, they spent $3.6b to buy them and then took their advice to release Concord and scrap TLOU Factions…
>>739317796Looking for a good story in video games is just asking to be mindraped but if you liked the base game I can see why there would at least be an expectation of otherwise.
>>739313695>end of seasonal bullshitI see this as nothing but upgradeno more forced to grind gear every few monthsdestiny 2 might actually be fun to play now
>>739313695so now that they're officially announcing it's done can fans start a class action against them for sunsetting paid content with the promise or cycling it back in only to have to admit in court that all of that content is now lost because it doesn't work with the current builds?
>>739318069I didn't much care for it. Had the same problems the first game has, poor enemy variety and they all take way too long to kill.
>>739316634There's like a 3k reply thread on the downfall of Marathon over there. Pretty much everyone in the gaming world is watching it like a slow motion train wreck
>>739318178I'll be forever pissed they scrapped the co op spiderman game. Thats like my dream game.
>>739318069it's okay. If you've played Destiny 1 and/or 2 you know what you're getting into: "number go up" and "this dialogue is ass" ad infinitum
I wonder what they're working on next...
im sure the people who designed this will make marathon a great game
>>739317937Marathon is better than Destiny ever has been. Hopefully some of the Destinybros switch over and make S2 the huge success it deserves. It really is sublime.
>>739317520>devout fanI hope I never end up like this
the marafag and Destiny 3 cope being floated out there right now is insane. these homos could see a video of Bungie HQ emptied and abandoned and they would still be posting about how Destiny 3 will save the company
>>739316882It is baffling how people here just refuse to understand the concept of budgetThey'll think a small game is a failure if it sells 400,000 copies but Marathon is "doing well" by some metric of not having been shut down yet
>>739318178Bungie's then CEO basically bamboozled Sony and used the money to buy more cars. Not even joking.>invites employees to show off his fleet of cars>they have to compliment him>ends up firing them later that very dayPete Parsons was a piece of shit with a smile to match.
lol they never even put the original tower back into d2 despite teasing it for almost a decade
>>739318136Genuinely amazing idea, wish fucking someone did that with some other live service garbage dump. Watching devstream supercuts like eight years ago was sometimes as fun as playing the game
>>739318191They weren't just bad plot points sometimes there were no plot points like the season 2 gay characters talked about how they gay loved each other to own the chuds. I remember playing Resident Evil Revelations 2 on release that they released the game into 4 chapters, one chapter each week and it wasn't the most compelling plot but it always ended on a cliffhanger and trailer where you wanted to know more right away. It's not hard the issue is all story writers are woman and trannies now and there actually have been good woman scifi writers but they hire the worst.
>>739318323>Hopefully some of the Destinybros switch over and make S2 the huge success it deserves.yeah dude killing people's 10 year old comfort game is really going to get them to purchase the new game instead of just getting fucking angrydo you work at sony, perhaps?
>>739318323congrats for typing out the most retarded shit ive seen today marathon is dead and not a single d2 bro is going to switch to it, cuz literally everyone who plays d2 has tried it and bounced off. they won’t be able to revive this game and killed their one chance of being profitable. this is bungie signing their death warrant. i want to laugh but its sad to see them in a state this pathetic
Everyone is looking at this completely wrong. Bungie aren't dead, they're now free to make something completely new. Marathon was chasing a trend (extraction shooters) in attempt to create a cash cow to save the company. It failed and now they have nothing. Back to square one. Bungie may not be a AAA dev going forward but I think their next project will be much more creative and successful because of this.
WHAT HAPPENED BUNGIE!?THE TRAIN DIDN'T LEAVE THE STATION!?!?HUH!?!?!?FUCK YOU
It's a shame. There are things you can only find in D2. Those raids especially, during day 1Nothing quite like contest mode or finding a secret in real time with the whole community
>>739318323Cryo Archive isn't even as half as interesting as a Destiny raid. Get real.
>>739318136Bungie could never, they were obsessed with data and analytics which in my opinion was the downfall of their game design for marathon.
>>739318394Pete's probably laughing his ass off in a newly acquired vintage car as we speak. Not even driving anywhere, just sitting in it on his property.
>>739314109>going all in on MarathonI think the company as a whole is getting sunsetted. They'll have mass layoffs in July, keep a skeleton crew to fix D2 bugs and fulfill contractual obligations on Marathon for a year, before Bungie ceases to exist.
Are there any other games that play like Destiny 2? I like collecting exotic weapons, using cool superpowers and exploring beautiful worlds.
>>739318474sure just give them $500 Mil and 5-6 years!
>>739316198>>739316241
>>739317798No the decision makes sense at this point because the only way Bungie survives as a studio that isn’t on life support is to go all in on developing D3 and that means completely ending all development on 2 while being contractually obligated to finish the remaining content for Marathon that’s likely been spread across the next gearDestiny 2 is too old and has lost too much content to bring in new players, IF the Destiny IP continues they have no choice but to make a new game and they can’t develop 3 games at once. The mistake was made years ago when they decided to make Marathon and not to announce a D3 after the Final Shape. Everything is as it is because they made those two decisions, so the next hard decision to end D2, and then likely by this time next year end development on Marathon which will likely coincide with a new game being announced for somewhere around 2028/2029, whether that game is D3 or not remains to be seen but it’s the only relatively guaranteed success. That or Sony is gonna kill Bungie soon.
All they had to do was release Halo 4.
Years from now there's going to be an incredible book on the saga of Bungie.The company so radioactively incompetent that infinite money Microsoft refused to acquire them even as they developed their flagship Xbox IPThe company acquired in a landmark BILLION dollar deal by Sony...a deal made out of corporate panic because Microsoft's ABK acquisition scared SonyThe company that rode into the ground a reputation as one of the most well-known developers despite blank checks to make anything they wanted at any production valueThe company whose final embarrassment was having to delay their high-profile reboot by months because it was discovered their art team had wholesale ripped off their entire art style from a transsexual on tumblr down to copy-pasting the actual assets rather than just fucking hiring himHUMILIATION_WILL_MAKE_ME_GOD
>>739318225>with the promise or cycling it backI don't remember them ever promising that. They explicitly said they were vaulting it because it was taking too much time and money to make sure it worked with new updates. Presumably now that there are no more new updates they can finally do that work but don't hold your breath. Maybe they do it as part of one last "buy this one thing and get everything" package.
>>739318323brother the “destinybros” are going to bring the toxicity towards marathon to a level you’ve not seen before. It’s over for your s2
>>739318547reading comprehension skills of an ape
I dont even know what genre Destiny 1/2 was..is it FPS MMO or what?
>>739313695Reminder this was not planned. This is all due to marathon flopping. Paul tassi said all future expansions for d2 got cancelled. Meaning until this announcement bungie had in store multiple expansions for the game. Which isnt financially feasible anymore.
>>739318136>95% percent of the issues in the game industry right now could be fixed if devs just sat on a fucking couch during a livestream every month. That shit has prevented so much retarded shit from appearing in Warframe.But that would mean bouncing ideas with your players rather than admitting only YOU know what's right.
>>739318007The entire Nine saga has been dogshit. The fact they're abandoning it halfway through and nobody cares is a testament to how bad it is.
>>739318625Maybe they could have pulled the plug on Marathon instead?
>>739318546warframe kinda but the weapons and worlds aren't as goodI've yet to play anything with guns that feel as good as they do in destiny
>>739318323Hopefully some of the Destinybros switch overyeah man I'm sure the destiny bros who watched maratroon cannibalize their game will love to jump into the get spawncamped and shot in the back simulator
>>739316390Tassi is such a fuckin loser. I genuinely hope all these content creators who spent years lying about how good and healthy the game is for access fail to find a new community leech off of. The whole lot of em should be cleaning toilets instead of getting paid to write fluff pieces and argue on twitter.
>>739317740who the fuck uses "incubating" in terms of game devthey've been completely taken over by shareholders
Sony loading up a new Bungie impairment for next quarter btw. They really think D2 boomers will switch to Marathon I actually can’t believe how stupid these retards are.
>>739317292In a roundabout way.
>>739318394did he really do that?
>>739313695I just want a Destiny Classic on PC so I can play the original instead of the bastardization that was D2.
It's over.
>>739313695Kind of crazy how badly they fucked up a guaranteed cash cow. What a bunch of retards.
>>739318685That wouldn't have saved D2 from being a rudderless mess post-TFS.
>>739317120Bungie, mind telling me what you're doing on that ship?
>>739318603FPS ARPG with light MMO elements
>>739318290>I wonder what they're working on next...updating their resumes
Destiny just shows how much shit and broken glass "gamers" will crawl through they fucked you over and over and over and made you buy more dripfed content while taking other things away and you just kept coming back
>>739317489Raids were fun.
>>739318685Or at least spin the Destiny team off to its own studio so there are people who can work full-time on Destiny?
>>739318587>They explicitly said they were vaulting it because it was taking too much time and money to make sure it worked with new updates.No, at the time, they said it was because of console disk space.
>>739313695End of an era, man. I played D2 on/off since launch. Its sad to see how much it fell off after TFS.Thank you for the memories, D2. The fun really was all the friends I made along the way.
>>739317780Thanks. I googled what the portal was. Is is just the fucking wretched live service fortnite UI hub-thing? I'm not surprised that was the killing blow, I hope every game that uses this shit dies.>StoryI almost wish I knew D2's story so I could laugh at it. The only things I know about D2's story is that they had Peter Dinklage voice a character then they recast him because Dinklage is an asshole who phoned in his videogame VA work, and that they killed their fan favorite Cayde only to resurrect him to try and squeeze out fan goodwill.
>>739318764this confirms they were expecting maratroon to be a cashcow to fund more destiny content but now the company is in a death spiral
>>739318693But don't you want to be a genderless transhuman drone? Isn't serving the Epsteinite cabal as a 3D printed golem hip and cool now?
>>739314375I REMEMBER A THOUSAND FUCKING POSTS ABOUT HOW DESTINY 2 WILL KILL WARFRAME!WHAT'S GOOD NOW NIGGERS!?
>>739318301what the fuck is that
>>739318585The books/Youtube essays on Jim Ryan-Hermen Hulst era Playstation in general will be a fucking doozy. I say multiple because there's no way in hell you could do it all justice in just one.
>>739318136>That shit has prevented so much retarded shit from appearing in Warframe.Like what? QRD?
Could Sony ask for a refund from Bungie?
Serves the D2 trannies right for trying to kill probably one of the greatest multiplayers of all time. Marathon is simply perfection. And this is coming from someone who played all the greats. Spies vs Mercs, MGO2, Gears 2, Halo 3, TLOU factions. Marathon is up there now.
800 people work on marathon now, multiplayer GOTY 2026 with a PvE mode coming btw. S2 is insanely hyped and starts 2nd June. We’ll all be there no matter what, right guys? On SteamDB charts, at least.
>>739318474If Sony thinks Bungie are through they're not giving them "something completely new", they're dissolving the studio and reallocating any remaining staff into other divisions.
>>739318006Still funny they basically just said give us the IPs we use and you can leave.
>>739318865I'm sure that was one of the reasons they gave but it wasn't the only one.
>>739313695>Be Bungie>Sony spends billions buying you cause they’re convinced you have mastered the games as a service model. >Actually have no clue what you’ve been doing the past decade. >All their live service projects besides Helldivers are complete failuresBased?
>>739314109More like Destiny is going down with Marathon, it literally killed them
>>739318909The game has good lore, but awful story delivery for most of the big expansions. Forsaken, Witch Queen and Final Shape were the good ones. Every other thing was mediocre or straight garbageThe portal removed all exploration or feeling of being in a planetary system. They streamlined all into a mobile tier UI where you pick the mission, modifiers and just go do it for a few minutes
Atleast you can still play D1.I've been replaying it and I have to say that its a lot more fun than playing D2, and it's so much more consistent, zero FOMO, and doesn't have a fucked up disjointed story to story moment in their expansions.
>>739318394He's a piece of shit and he deserves some hate. But I can't bring myself to dislike someone who finangled Sony out of that much money."H-Hey, don't worry about what those Microsoft guys said about us... We're totally up for it, we're the best in the business. Not only will we make you billions, but we'll also help ALL YOUR OTHER live service games make you billions! You'll be the next Microsoft!"And then he laughed all the way to the bank.
Time for a Destiny movie series then?
Marathon status?
>we will begin work incubating our next gamesI do think they’re gonna make a new Destiny game but it sounds like it won’t be that soon, so the IP is on ice for a while. Maybe some expected a short gap like between Rise of Iron and D2 but not in the current situation Bungie is in now. 2-3 years at least, announcement at least a year away if it’s real.I’m more confident in this because it’s the only way for them to eventually dig themselves out of the hole
>Marathon flopped so hard they canceled future destiny expansions LOL. Layoffs when?
>>739317489>was it too grindyyeah>were the raids badno but setting a team up is a pain in the fucking arse if you don't have a regular>was the story badthe worldbuilding is good, but the writing and dialogues of the main story is ass and often don't make sensebungie also often makes very questionable decisions and the game just breaks if someone sneezed within vicinity of the serversalso too much microtransactions
>>739319159instead you have peter dinklage telling you the story will be explained later, and it never does
>>739319159I wish I could play it normally on PC.
>>739315193>Did someone ask an AI to make their business plan?Unironically there is a strong possibility. CEO’s follow AI like the pied piper.
>>739318603Looter shooter. MMOFPS as a genre died long ago.
>>739313695>Buying a studio for billions of dollars when said studio has none of the talent or IPs that made them successful anymoreLol, how retarded are sony execs
>>739317489Another tourist here, the only thing I remember is them (((((vaulting))))) or deleting past content that people can't play anymore
Marathon is great. And Bungie has done some of their best work with their backs against the wall. Have faith.
>>739319228peter dinklage was removed from the game in like d1y1
>>739319242>PlanetMans 3 never;_;
>Be Microsoft>Go forward with buying Activision>Sony shits their pants and tries to get a new exclusive FPS dev of their own now that you might make CoD exclusive>Pick up Bungie because Bungie made Halo when it was good, surely they can make a good game>Didn't check what you were buying and spent 3.6billion on Halo Bungie and instead brought Destiny 2's worst updates Bungie.>Their next project Marathon flopped and now you're left with a 3.6billion hole in your pocket.Couldn't have happened to two more deserving companies desu.
>>739316648Wait so they're not bringing back the base campaign or the expansions they cut? What the fuck
>>739319279>Marathon is great.No it isn't lol
>>739319167>You'll be the next Microsoft!To be fair, he was telling the truth! DOHOHOHOHO
>>739319285yeah but I couldn't remember whoever was put instead. Was it Troy Baker? Nolan North?
This is like crazy. This is some retard high up at Bungie just assuming Destiny fans will migrate (legally) to Marathon and it's no surprise this was announced right before Marathon Season 2 when some vague PVE mode is added. This comes off as a last ditch desperation play and I hope it fails
>>739318984There are too many to count but alot of it boils down to "we heard you and killed the idea" before it ever got pushed live.
>>739317292Always has
>>739318625No need to look to that beggar, Bungie themselves had announced these 2 expansions for 2026 and 2027. They now either don't exist or become Destiny 3.
So I guess this is their "Destiny!"
>>739319159>stuck at 30fps>have to pay to play online
>>739313695why is the logo a vagina
>>739319114As someone owning four different Sony consoles, god it feels so good to see these fuckers actually suffer consequences of their actions.
should i finally start playing warframe?
>>739319404>>have to pay to play onlineWhat? PSN was free.
>>739315921>Pretty sure Winnower/Gardener are just different names for the Witness.The Witness was an agent of the Winnower. The Traveler is an agent of the Gardener.
>>739319446Stop playing live service slop.
>>739314109Nah they are probably going to start Destiny 3, or Destiny Subtitle, and have a full new foundation. D1 and D2 were both sand castles with the shakiest foundations.
>>739319454>PS3 versioneven worse
>>739318546Division 2 is the next logical drug for you to take
>>739318585>Everyone hates Bungie for how greedy and shitty they are, it's obviously Kotik and that fucking Activision's fault>Bungie leavs Activision>They get even worselmao>>739319047>>739318547>sure just give them $500 Mil and 5-6 years!Sony almost certainly will do exactly that. Shutting down Bungie would be a Biblical level Mea Culpa.If I was a betting man, I would imagine: Now that the studio has no active games, they'll trim the staff down to a skeleton crew and start fresh, keeping just the key staff (as well as far too many of the HR retards that ruined the company, those people are like cockroaches) and just focus all their development on Destiny 3.Everyone knows that Destiny 2 has been borderline impossible to get into for years and years now, the new player experience was ridiculous, and yet they kept the game going for all this time despite that. There's an enormous fortune still waiting to be made from the brand and the technology. Destiny 3 would bring back the Destiny crowd (they're like WoWDrones they can't keep away), it would bring back the lapsed D2 players and it would bring in the new people who haven't checked the series out.
>>739319504why? i like new content and updates
>>739319352I think it makes sense under the assumption that you’re gonna make a new Destiny gameThey can’t do both at once with the situation they’re in, and it’s not smart to pivot away from Marathon to D2’s dying corpse
>>739319301This is all because Fortnite made so much moneyRemember to say "thank you" to the anti-christ of the game industry, Tim Sweeney
POST WARFRAME ASS
>>739319446Warframe is in a similar position to Destiny 2 in a sense that new player begins knowing fuck all story-wise. Difference is STORY isn't that important in Warframe.
>Planetside 2 outlasted Destiny 2EMBARASSING
>>739313695Can somebody explain? What the fuck does SW have to do with Bungie?
Bungie would be making record profits if at the end of TFS a message saying "Destiny 3 coming in one year" with some cliffhanger leading to it happened
>>739319307They can't. They deleted that shit permanently to avoid one of the many lawsuits about stealing shit.
>>739313695>The division 2 outlived destiny 2l fucking mao
>>739319550I dismantle Bungie after taking their IP.Then I give it to the Killzone devs for shits and gigs.
Does this confirm that marathon is a worse failure than concord? Concord atleast wasn’t a foundation for future planned projects
>>739318594lmao thank you I lost this webm
>>739319606They released a whole Star Wars expansion with lightsabers and everything, it wasn't a small DLC it was literally the last expansion lmao
>>739319047like it or not the name Bungie is still worth a lot.
>>739318936I think the throughline will be that they put Hulst into a position he never should've been in. The dude is clearly playing favorites with Guerrila. He's responsible for the direction of exclusives under the PS4 and the PS5.If you look at Sony's output, the PS3/Vita/PSP had a ton of smaller budget releases. The PS4/PS5 have quite literally no signs of them. The only European studio alive for most of the generations he's been in charge is the one that he of course, co-founded, and going into the PS4, numerous studios suddenly had themselves shut down or moved to other projects while Guerilla were allowed to develop Horizon for a stupid amount of time, even though Killzone wasn't nearly doing what it should've been doing.The PlayStation umbrella has simply not recovered from the end of the PS3 and most of the PS4. Legacy IPs are dead due to their studios moving on or being let-go, a ton of older talent which made the success of the PlayStation 1 in Europe and the PlayStation 2 globally no longer work there, and some of these guys were very "on-the-ground", valued tenured employees. Employees that were let-go during the end of the PS3 or during the PS3 era. I don't think you can really claim PlayStation or Sony has been doing amazing for the past 2 generations. They've done arguably "just enough".
Destiny bros this is how we can still win. All we need to do is buy more copies of Destiny 2 content and DDOS the Marathon servers and we are back! I am ready to donate $100 to the cause and start phone banking!
>>739318865They led with the console space excuse because that's the one consumers have to deal with. In reality there were multiple problems on the dev side.The two key ones being;1. Testing every new piece of content and making sure it doesn't break older pieces of content. I'm sure it gets tiring having to run every single new gun and class ability through every older piece of content in case it causes issues in Escalation Protocool2. Having the game become so large meant recompiling it was literally starting to take over a day each time they did it.
>>739319606Latest expansion was Star Wars themed. It's kind of like how whenever Nintendo shows a gameplay clip of Smash Ultimate they're required to include an essay of all the companies which own guest characters.
>>739319602>Planetside 2I wonder if Reaper Actual is going to suck. John Smedley is, well, John Smedley.
marathon sisterswe won!
>>739319446Yes
Sony has got to be helmed by the most insanely retarded people in the industry>Acquire bungie while interest in d2 is trending down heavily at a 560 million dollar loss>Announce that story driven exclusives will no longer come to steam after a year>Spend 38 million on marketing for Saros a single player 3d bullet hell Holy shit are they going to buy ubisoft next?
>>739319678a whole lot of nothing. they've spent over a decade killing all goodwill they had.
>>739318585whats amazing about this chain of events is that every single analyst looking at the situation closely KNEW bungie was fucking Sony with that pricetag and Sony did it anyway.
>>739319446it's free just try it
Wow so you are telling me the out of touch elder millennial and gen x woman that thought Star Wars would save Destiny were wrong!!!???
>>739319731I hate it already based on it being modernslop and not something unique. Theres nothing making it stand out.
>>739319601Atleast they made the story going forward utilize you knowing jack shit since operator has amnesia and it’s not revealed until later on
>>739318546Warframe
DESTINY IS IN THE GRAVE TONIGHTEVERYBODY JUST HAVE A GOOD TIME
>>739319787the normies who know them for Halo are completely unaware of all that.
>>739314375Please no I don't want destiniggers on my squads
>>739319682And now they're the "winner" in the console war and every consumer on the market is worse for it. We all lose. Thanks sony. I wish the Horizon brand to lose more money than fucking Bungie lost.
>>739319785Don't forget they moved to California.
>Killed Destiny>Slowly killing Fartnite.>Led to the mess Ubisoft is currently in.How did Star Wars become such a toxic brand, that it's actively killing any game and company it touches?
>>739313695>Bungie is deadEat shit you fucking retards
>>739319343Nolan North. He also took over Nathan Fillion.
>>739319785It was a panic mood after Microsoft bought Activision.All the other studios are playstation only by default but bungie was looking for a buyer and if microsoft got them it could mean no more destiny (which at the time was a big deal)
>>739319832People suggesting Warframe for a game that "plays like" Destiny only reminds me how nobody can get "Roguelike" correct.
>>739317798you think like someone genueinly concerned for studio's future people leading bungie only care about marathon and how to make sure it doesn't sink their career
One good thing about this is that you no longer have to play 8 hours a day every day to keep up anymore. You can finally catch up at your own pace now.
>>739318984Creative director Rebecca was going to add a paid story skip to encourage new players getting to new content faster and saw no issue with the idea because she plays FF14 where that is a thing, but the moment she brought up that they'd be doing that the entire twitch chat lost their mind and they dropped the entire idea forever
>>739314560The fuck is kepler?
>>739319912You're right, Warframe plays BETTER THAN Destiny
>>739319663>Concord atleast wasn’t a foundation for future planned projectsIt literally was though, they had a tv show and several spinoffs already in the works
>>739319785Don't forget >cancelled live service games (TLoU2, GoW)>bought Bluepoint only to shutter it years later with nothing released>bought Firewalk (Concord)>keeps raising the price on their online service
>>739319159I hope hope to god that either Vanguard project or WinDurango results in a Destiny 1 on PC.If Bungie had no resources to make a proper EOS update for D2, there's no way they're not gonna shut down Destiny 1 soon.
This is a small look into Fortnite’s future is spiraling into by being so out of touch
>>739319446If you download it basically just stop playing when you reach the end of the current story content and take a break until the next story drop, which if you're a new player will take a while. You will drive yourself insane playing the non-story grind content cycles they put out. The grind shit they put in for the career players is for sickos only.
>>739319912WF is more of a musou, it's not a roguelike and hasn't been for like 95% of it's lifespan.
>>739319846what normies know Halo but not Destiny and are also prospective customers of their games? I don't think that's really a sizable amount.
>>739313695F for Paul Tassi IDGF about Destiny or Bungie
>>739319990They're not even comparable aside from "collect weapons" in which case Final Fantasy 14 is my favorite Warframelike.I dont even know why theres a destiny vs warframe mindset because of how differently you approach the game.>>739320070>WF is more of a musouYou know I never thought of it like that.
>>739319880because Disney made horrible new material that they doubled down on, ruined or ended their rare moments of accidentally decent new content, retroactively ruined old material, and holocausted the old Extended Universe.
>>739320024NTA but Bungie said to -Cancel co-op spiderman game-Cancel tlou2 multiplayer despite it being 75% or more done-Cancel god of war co-op game (ehh, maybe a right move)BUT-Keep developing Concord-Keep developing Fairgame$-Keep developing Marathonlmao
>>739319957Why would that be a problem? FF14 is a hugely story focused game and it's not an issue there. I'm sure it had been suggested it in a FF14 livestream Twitchchat would be super negative there too. But it didn't cause any problems. I love the FF14 story, I think skipping it is retarded, but if someone wants to, that's their money to burn. Why would that kill Warframe?
>>739320060>literally 5x the playerbase of CODIt had a long long long way to go
>>739319880>new trilogy is fucking awful>most of the shows are fucking awful>not advertised to kids that will watch anything regardless of quality>parents disappointed with it don't want to show their kids>anyone that loved star wars before looks at it with disdain and can't enjoy crossovers from cool factor alone
>>739315717Jesus, Paul you didn't have to kill him
>>739319601The difference is that new players are confused cause WF is confusing. Every single content ever released in all of WF's time alive is still there in the game.
>>739313695It's been over for Bungie, it's just like waiting for the noose to tighten around your neck as the executioner puts their hand on the lever. This feels really fucking stupid to me but I have no idea what D2's financials look like, though I struggle to think that they're any worse than Marathon's.
>>739320140The thing that stings about TLOU Factions 2 was that Bungie made Naughty Dog one of the most acclaimed studios in the entire industry skip an entire console generation for no reason whatsoever.
>>739320140Sure hope Sony didn't already put down the obscenely retarded licensing fee for Disney/Marvel for that cancelled Spiderman game lol
>>739317937>burned the boatsThat's a surprisingly heady analogy for /v/. I'm impressed, anon. Have some imp feet.
>>739319682The xbox one was the worst thing to happen to Sony. They got user base dominance without trying. Now the PS5 is reaching the end of its life cycle and it has jackshit to show for itself. They’re removing new exclusives from PC which is laughable because what exclusives.
>>739319957Pretty sure at least one of the expansions did have a paid skip option, presumably for your alts after doing the story on your main.
>>739320232For me they could have easily punted it off to a support studio, bluepoint studios was desperate for a game to work on for instance and sony wanted them to do a live service
Hey! So, I'll admit to not being the most well-read on the lore, but as somebody who's relatively well into it, and an LGBT person myself, and given one of the more recent characters on this list, who most likely isn't on any previous lists given their recentness, I figured I'd throw together a list of known or speculated LGBT characters in celebration of Pride month. So, without delay (and to break from that run-on sentence), I'll hop to it!Starting with the (as far as I know) confirmed ones:Homosexual CharactersMara Sov (Bisexual, dated Sjur Eido and had a fling with Shaxx)Sjur Eido (Lesbian, dated Mara)Chioma Esi (Lesbian, married Maya Sundaresh)Maya Sundaresh (see above)Devrim Kay (Gay, married Marc, adoptive father of Suraya Hawthorne)Marc (see above)Wei Ning (girlfriend of Eriana-3)Eriana-3 (see above)Osiris ( soon to be ex- boyfriend of Saint-14)Saint-14 (see above)Ana Bray (Lesbian, dated Camrin Dumuzi)Camrin DumuziEramis (Lesbian, dated Athrys)Athrys (see above)Hector Abram (Gay, married to Wesley Abram)Wesley Abram (see above)The unknown warlock who made the Karnstein Armlets, and her even more unknown wife.Transgender CharactersMicah-10 (MtF)Nokris (only male Wizard known, a Hive Form that afaik is supposed to be strictly female)An unnamed Wizard (uses male pronouns, in the Cold Denial Lore tab)Ignovun (is referred to as a male, but has tusks. Although some have stated that his tusks are purely decorative on his helmet, but the only source for them being ornamental is this tweet, from Robert Brookes, who didn't work on the strike)Morgan/Crown-6 (Implied to potentially be transgender through the pronoun dance, but it's tenuous)Amrita Vaie (Lesbian or Bi, may have been dating Kazia, hit on the Young Wolf)KaziaLord Shaxx (If one asumes Shaxx is being serious about marrying every guardian)Elsie Bray (implied to have been dating Ikora in her seventh loop)Ikora Rey
>>739319509tell me. Do you honestly believe that Bungie, in its current predicament, will live long enough to complete and ship out Destiny 3?
>>739315586Dogshit idea. Yeah man let's just re-run the original Destiny, that's sure to work. >But the Vex are blue this time! It's different!shut up
>this game
>>739320140holy shit, Sony's Bungie regret must be bigger than I realized
The fields are ripe for a similar game to be made to fill the power vacuum this is leaving behind.
>>739320249what's an anon gotta do for imp erotic featureless crotch?
The craizest part about all of this is is the fact that they're not even going to reintroduce old raids back in to the game.
>>739320360trve we mvst retvrn to ovr homeland, The Crown in Planetside 2
>>739320224D2 is probably financially better off due to the bigger playerbase but we all know D3 should’ve been announced 2 years ago, so it’s endlessly bleeding out due to that and Marathon. It is actually a better idea to end D2 if they plan to make a new one
>>739320283it likely wouldn't have happened without ND devoting resources to bluepoint because their proprietary engine is probably not super well documented, its a huge problem throughout the industry. All the knowledge lives within a handful of low level software engineers.
>>739319957>plays FF14You mean where barely literate retards go to cybersex? Explains quite a bit.
>>739313695>thought OP was kidding>it’s actually realDamn, Bungie is actually dying LMAO
Post playtime and last played.F to piss on Destiny 2 and Bungie's grave.
>>739313695>Spend hundreds of millions on a game that is already dying>kill your previous game after starving it for the now dying gameI'm dying laughing hahaha. What a fucking retarded dev studio
>>739319509probably this desu, there isn't yet any indication that Sony's pissed off enough to cut Bungie loose, and there is still the chance of turning a profit with a Destiny 3 that's probably been in pre-production for some time (surely they knew they couldn't milk D2 forever, would assume plans and prototypes for D3 have been ongoing alongside Marathon development). |>>739319601The story in Destiny 2 isn't even good, every single strike dialogue feels like a Marvel movie. Warframe succeeds by not trying to make the player give a fuck about its slop writing.
>>739316882>its an antiquated, unsustainable type of live service model.yeah, that's why, nothing to do with the quality of content being added, update themes, vaulting or PvP, it's just the model itself (pls ignore all other games using this model successfully)
>>739320430Reb's a notorious gooner. She had a old reddit account found browsing monster girl fetish subreddits and such iirc.She even hired the VA of her husbando in XIV just to make a Warframe version of her husbando she can fuck in Warframe.
>>739320284it's funny, people say that Warframe is the gay game (well the playerbase is) but damn
>>739320461Admitedly, I only played the game as a f2p and ONLY for the pvp.I had no interest in its "campaign" or "raids"t. >>739320112
>>739320284Oryx, The Taken King is FtM
>>739320461I thought 370 hours was an embarrassing amount of time for me to have wasted on this dogshit, but holy shit. You okay, man?
>>739317061I miss Titan and Io
If they just stop work on D2 without bringing back the vaulted content they took out years ago, then that's a real shame. If they're concerned about storage space, they could offer them as separate modules you can download in, say, the DLC menu in Steam.
>moving Destiny beyond Destiny 2Sure sounds like a new game is entering development
>>739320331Yeah, because D3 would likely be a big hit. There really isn't something like that on the market, games like Warframe are not remotely similar in design scope.
>>739319880Its only had two decent pieces of media in the last 15ish years and that's the ginger protag games
>>739314342>The setting is better than destinyNo.
>>739313695Bungie said Destiny would have a 10 year life cycle and it did no one should be surprised
>>739320145I think it's a bad idea because skipping content in warframe to catch up will overwhelm anyone and they will end up dropping the game plus the endgame isn't really comparable to the endgame of a typical MMO so there's no reason to want to chase that
>>739320461I started playing when it was on B.net, it is what it is.
>sony going bankrupt>bungie getting killed off>mfw marathon shills STILL want to convince me its a success
I guess we’re never getting D1 on PC huh
>>739316862Why did the game look better 8 years ago?
>>739320541Wait, who's her husbando? Emet-Selch?
>>739320646it's more like Bungo is throwing bodies at Marathon to fix its many problems, which always works great when your game is a lemon from the beginning
So Sony is done with PC and live service and Bungie is killing the only thing worth a damn. Can someone explain to me how this ends well for Bungie because this looks like a perfect setup to get dissolved since snoys don't care for crappathon.
>>739320646They took everyone off of Destiny 2 to salvage Marathon, its a meaningless announcement like when they "announced" Mass Effect 4 in 2021 and not a single peep since then
>>739313695Lmao, Sony is dead.
>>739320723Yes.
>>739320612The situation in bungie is that bad, it’s exactly as we thought which is that they can’t maintain Marathon, Destiny 2 and make a new game at the same time. All they can do is do what’s left that’s planned on Marathon and start work on their next gameIt’s so fucked that Destiny has lost media though
Literally fucking suffocatingly coddled by trannies since Lightfall even though the decline started in Witch Queen>The last time they made anything even remotely good was during the hell crunch of Forsaken that kept the game from dying>learn literally no fucking lessons because any dissent was shouted out by trannies and (now jobless) faggots like datto>underachieve and underdeliver >get gaped and rapedBehold, the consequences of unironic "toxic positivity"
>spend all of 2012 and 2013 hyping Destiny up>participate in Destiny ARG threads, ogle the concept art>Destiny comes out>generic dogshit without an interesting story in the slightest>hate Destiny for years>try Destiny 2, still hate it>try Marathon, it’s good in a way I didn’t think Bungie was capable of anymore>now want Marathon to succeed and Destiny to die>Destiny is dead>its fan base is going to pray on Marathon to be shot in the head and never let any form of positivity about the game have any oxygenI can simply never win
>>739318136Warframe players probably think of LAVO every time they see Lavos Prime and it's because of a stupid typo during the devstream couch
>>739320646nigga they can barely afford to exist and they just released a new game that was in the works for almost a decade to a milquetoast receptionyou might as well be expecting them to start building a new boat while drowning
>>739320571Also that chrome cyborg guy is a "non binary" or some shit.
>>739320461Hell yeah 3k brother lets go>>739320590There was a time when my 30+ online friend group played nothing but d2 8 hours a day for a year **and no im not ok not because destiny mostly just cause everything else**
>>739320850>get what you want but it backfiresPyrrhic victory.
>>739320567Raids were the best part of the game, if you weren't playing the game for the raids, your playtime is understandable.>>739320590I tend to get stuck on games where there is a lot of things to do and I work from home so I can play even when I'm technically working.>>739320681Me too. I bought D2 when it was on B.net but after finishing the campaign, there wasn't much to do by myself, so I dropped it. After it came to steam, bunch of my friends picked up the game and I came back to it. Playing with them was fun.
>>739320784Datto was literally crying on stream today over Destiny 2 like someone ran over his dog
>>739320702to be fair Marathon actually is a pretty good example, it just has the unfortunate burden of belonging to a degenerate genre dominated by Chinese aimbotters performing RMT services.
Did Bungie and Sony think Destinyfags are gonna migrate to Marathon? Totally different genre.
>>739314004Marathon siphoned all resources away from Destiny despite it being their most successful game.Bungie is so utterly incompetent not even with 800 people could they make one game work, let alone two at the same time.
>>739319608
Marathon has to die. At all cost.
>>739320739I’m sure the heads at the top will get a nice severance package when the studio gets dissolved by the end of the year.
>>739318069Div2 is great if you like:>tacticool stuff>bioweapons and bioweapon medical equipment like quarantine tarps over buildings>brainless but still engaging combat>playing PVE games solo>checklist simulators and collectathons>build customizationI rebought it back in March and put 200hrs in already. It's a great 'turn your brain off and relax' game.
>>739320850Luckily for you, Marathon has bigger problems than Destiny fans hating on it
>>739319865I think Horizon is very much a sign of the stupidity of how Hulst and Jim Ryan played favorites without a care about what the actual margins would be, but it applies to so many titles that they do end up developing anyway.>Marathon - 200mil+>Saros - 70-80mil>TLoU P2 - 220mil+>Horizon Forbidden West - 212mil+>Concord - 400mil~Genuinely, this is fucking insanity. This was their strategy too. Concord failed. Marathon will probably never make its money back, Saros is struggling to, TLoU P2 is played out, Horizon had a flop with the LEGO game and is likely to flop again with Hunters Gathering.What bankable IPs (which Sony actually own) do they have? Spiderman. Just Spiderman. And they don't really even fully own it either way anymore.All those dead IPs in Astro Bot? People are already starting to forget. The new generation has had fuck all in terms of Sony exclusives to latch onto, it might be fucked.>>739320273Yea, Xbox literally shooting themselves in the head did more damage than anyone could admit. Granted, Nintendo might also be to blame with the Wii U too. I think the length of time that Sony has fucked this is worse than SEGA's disasterous final consoles. The problems though really manifested in the late late PS3 era. Probably the Vita. Not shitting on the Vita though.
>>739315884Which is retarded, because Bungie understood that there is only a limited supply of people that can put up with live service games and only so much time and money they will be willing to invest, which you need to develop sunk cost to mentally trap them. So when you go through a bunch of games that, while they may be from the same parent company, are ultimately your competitors anyway of course you are going to shoot them all down on shit on them to get them shitcanned. They paid almost a Star Wars to bring in Bungie to essentially sabotage Sony and their other studios, while also doing gamers a favor in making sure all that live service crap never sees the light of day.
>>739320850>spend years hating thing>undoubtedly shit on that thing in all spaces (fostering doom tranny behavior and normality)>finally get to experience the other side of that sword Get raped
>>739320702this bitch still doent stream LMAO
Blasthavers….its Bungover…..
>>739320850The problem may very well be you. I can hear the smoke detector chirp already.
>>739320893The article says they’re incubating their next game right now, so it seems Sony is likely going to continue funding them
>>739320284holy fucking shit
>>739321002>Did Bungie and Sony think Destinyfags are gonna migrate to Marathon?They unironically probably did because how they ran Destiny 2 demonstrates they think exactly like this. They fancy themselves whale cattle drivers and ranchers, their hubris has always been insane.
This is the studio that used to have "Don't Make Us Kick Your Ass" in (broken) Latin plastered above their studio front door.
>>739313695And nothing of value was lost. Destiny isnt played by anyone resembling a human.
>>739320145storyquests in warframe often have aids gear requirements that are a hell to grind out, by offering a paid 20 bucks skip or whatever there would be a financial incentive for the devs to never actually improve the onboarding experience for non-paying players. With the skip being cancelled their only choice was to actually improve that shit step by step, and they have and still areThis isn't entire comparable, but FF14 culled ARR MSQ filler quests like 1 time 5 years ago or whatever and haven't done shit since to make playing through 7 expansions in a row less awful
I guess you could say... It was their Destiny!
This is just more distractions from the Epstein files
>>739321092>undoubtedly shit on that thing in all spacesThis is a reasonable thing to accuse me of considering the kinds of people on this board and elsewhere but honestly I think I averaged maybe one or two posts a year about how badly Bungie burned me on Destiny. Its greatest sin was being so uninteresting I couldn’t even scrounge up the anger to try and TORtanic post about it.
I’d say I hope Bungie are working on Destiny 3, but I don’t want a D3 made by modern Bungie>All these Warframe shillsI really don’t understand how a game with so little to offer and zero difficulty can have such a loyal fanbase. Seriously, 200 hours is all you need to complete every bit of content in Warframe that’s even remotely interesting and the rest is just grinding for random shit you don’t need.
>>739321216It is gonna be this nigger-core MOBA game. Bungie has been sitting on project for a while now.
QUESTION. About 400 people are on the Destiny team. Do they>Move them to marathon>Make a new game>MASSSIVE LAYOFFS.Make your predictions!>>739318732LOL. Tassi pretty much told the truth, rather than the marketing line.
>>739314130Why would they, tho?Everyone in the AAA sphere is purposefully blocking Linux from running the games, plus, they have a rather massive hacker problem in both marathon and destiny, if they allowed Linux players to play the game, the average tech illiterate retard will start shitting on them because those damn penguin lovers are ruining their game, despite linux players usually being less than 1% of the total playerbase.
>>739321454Yeah I doubt this shit is ever seeing the light of day
>>739321436>I’d say I hope Bungie are working on Destiny 3, but I don’t want a D3 made by modern BungieThey are making Project Gummy Bear >>739321454
>>739316882But you said the same when it had “stable” 50k, and now it’s almost sub 10k, how can it be the same?
>>739321454kek, lmao. they still think it's 2013.
If only they added black hair to the game this would have never happened
>>739320602That's fucking insane they vaulted full on planets from their game. As a D1 player for years I find it revolting. I played D2 when it was free for a few months and those planets were rad, just needed a bit more to do.
>>739321436See I'm the opposite, I don't understand why anyone would play Destiny when Warframe exists
>>739315884The 750 million they lost accounts for said expertise being nonexistent, they actually accounted for every dollar they could help generate and didn't actually generate.I think they might give bungie another chance, but their future is pretty grim if they don't manage to turn marathon around.
>>739317942We have a division general in /vm/ if anyone's interested.
>>739315372Unironically what they did with Renegades, just without it being Star Wars. Just sent me to hunt down some monster of the week with Eris and Drifter and i'll play the game until the end of time. Big, overarching plots and villains are severely overrated.
>>739321294This is true. The last minimally respectable videogame Bungie released was Halo: Reach in 2010
>>739321341>onboarding experienceThis sort of retarded shit is why everything is failing so miserably. If someone wants to play a game they'll fucking play it there is no such thing as onboarding or the new player experience. Its so preddit an idea detached from reality I can't even. You ever think maybe its not the 'new player' experience and your friend just doesn't want to play your retarded skinnerbox with you but is too polite to say so, so he's looking for excuses to dip without hurting your feelings?
>>739320284chat is this real?
>>739318748Incubation is a tech industry term, anon. It just means you have a separate team who's off on their own working on something different from everyone else.
>>739316882Bitch, please. Marathon is the UNDISPUTED financial bomb of the year. It's already lost more money than Highguard, Prime 4 and new POP, the one that was just an indian scam and never released's ENTIRE fucking budgets. It is on the top 10 of all time in financial losers, and its losing more every month. >The entirety of the impairment loss is on D2. Not Marathon.You're hilariously full of shit, but wait for the next imparement loss.
>>739321717I kept looking hoping for one there when BOB released last year.I'm not playing at the moment, so Godspeed and all that.
>>739318585You forgot>The company so greedy that even ActiBlizz wanted out of the partnership because the planned monetization was over the line.
>>739319184Probably this summer, desu.>Bungie has 800 people>Marathon had 300 originally>Bungie moved 100 people from Destiny 2 to Marathon>400 people still on Destiny 2 right now>Destiny 2 deadUnless there's a totally new game being developed in secret, layoffs are probably coming.
>>739320284Hey, you forgot the enby.>>739321781If you only knew how bad it is.
Marathon is the future multiplayer GOTY 2026 while Destiny 2 is dead, so no, the entire impairment is because of Destiny 2. Sony saw their amazing retention (as said by their actual CFO in the investor call) and playerbase and thought this was the direction to go. Destiny was a rotting corpse that deserved to go out like this. Marathon is the future and is fucking great. At least give it a chance.
>>739321937>Marathon is the future multiplayer GOTY 2026lol, lmao even
>>739320284"Marathon is bad and woke, they should go back to making Destiny games."Destiny literally doesn't feature any straight relationships between named characters.
>>739321937Nope.
>>739321937Warframe is literally underperforming Destiny 2's worst season>GOTY 2026I look forward to your public rape
>>739321610Shrigga will SAVE Marathon
>>739321743It’s crazy how I was so disappointed by Destiny that I retroactively started to see all the flaws Halo Reach had.
>>739313695bungie is going to be shuttered by the end of 2027 fuck yes finally something good is happening in the future. i knew not everything could be shit all the time
So what happens next? I assume the remaining people working on D2 will be laid off
>>739320961Holy shit you're not even exaggerating
>>739322121Bungie will soon be the Hell Divers 2 support team
>>739321983They lost me at the gay butthole surfer city. If it wasn't so bad as to be a caricature of itself I might've been mad.
>>739322018Warframe has about 50k people playing it right now while Destiny 2 has less than 10k players
>>739319880>>Slowly killing Fartnite.Friendly reminder Disney invested $1.5 billion into Epic and all they got in return were some Star Wars UEFN maps that get fewer players than a successful indie game on Steam.
>>739322018Did you mean to say Marathon? Warframe is overperforming both games during a content drought.
Warframe won.
>>739322154I mean, his entire career was built around the game, so it’s understandable. And now he’s going to have to start job hunting
>>739322154
>>739321341>and haven't done shit since to make playing through 7 expansions in a row less awfulThat's the game though. That's what makes FF14 so fun. Playing through those 7 expansions took me months but I had an incredible time doing it.It was like playing through a full RPG series with a consistent ongoing narrative between the games.
>>739321937I knew the replies to this would be retarded as usual, but here you go. It’s multiplayer GOTY 2026 regardless of how much you try to deny it, and Destiny 2 is dead. Marathon got chosen over it, by both Sony AND Bungie, and they have all the numbers and everything.https://www.polygon.com/marathon-goty-the-game-awards-best-multiplayer-game/https://frvr.com/blog/bungies-marathon-game-of-the-year-best-multiplayer-shooter-since-halo-3/https://www.gamesradar.com/games/fps/marathon-is-gonna-be-game-of-the-year-actor-ben-starr-says-because-it-has-elden-ring-baldurs-gate-3-and-clair-obscur-expedition-33-award-magnet-jennifer-english/Mind you, most of these people ARE the ones part of the jury at TGA.
>>739322279Didn't he make a big point of saying he was going to leave after The Final Shape and then never fucked off?
>>739313695For one, the game will be playable now, knowing they just won't reset my progress every 3 months and remove content I paid anymore for is making me consider doing a playthrough.If Bungie needs some quick cash, they should remaster D1 and put it on Steam, then we would have a looter shooter that doesn't suck ass for the first time since Borderlands 2.
Needed more gay scenes between the bara robot and the tsundere geriatric. That would have saved the franchise for sure.
>Sony paid 3.7 billion dollars for thisAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>739322236I can tell you very confidently that Warframe is fucking awful and no one cares. They're probably bots. This is an unbiased opinion from an indiscriminate hater of life service micro transactionslop. Christ that fucking gook gacha game was more fun than Warframe. I'd put Warframe players in the same shoebox of foot fetish tier weirdos as Fallout 76.
>>739322304worst post and poster itt
>>739322317he is nothing without destiny, it makes sense to cry, nobody would know who the fuck he is without it and he will be irrelevant when its gone. he also probably can see the writing on the wall. there will be no d3, its completely unprofitable to keep bungie running for the ~10 years it would take after the marathon gigaflop
>Datto having a mental breakdown and crying on stream >Aztecross just laughs Kek
>>739322154I love it when streamers suffer, especially little faggots like this guy. paints his nails, wife pegs him and orders his happy meal for him
>>739313695Man these are actually expansion tier changes. These are coming so late to the game, god damn.
>>739322453
>>739316287it's MA'AM
>>739322434>They're probably bots.COPEOPE
>>739322250>>739316862What happened here? Why does the original 2014 game look so much better? Even the launch version of D2 looked better than D2 now, it's so flat and ugly in every area ported from D1
haven't played since april 2025 after finishing the heresy chore list for the titleit's a weird feeling, finally hearing it's overthis was my main game for 6 and a half yearsguess it's time for one last hurrah before finally pissing on bungie's decomposing corpse
>>739322536It's irresponsible to ignore that both the game and the company were on a downwards trajectory, especially if your livelihood depends on itESPECIALLY after Marathon
>>739316648>not bringing back deleted content.>>739319608>deleted that shit permanentlyCan someone QRD me on this.I know they had "content lock" locking out shit.So they are NOT bringing that shit back?I assumed this last update would mean its a complete game. I was thinking maybe to try it but if they locked all that shit out, what is the fucking point.FYI, I actually played this game, looking at my PSN trophies but cannot even remember playing it. Must have been that bad.
>>739321937>Marathon is the future multiplayer GOTY 2026lol not in a year that will have From’s own extraction shooter
>>739322453Aztecross actually has charisma and is likable so this isn't the end for him like Datto who only has this because he was one of the first not because he was the best or had charisma
>>739322710yeah but there's nothing he can do, righthes not good at other gameshave you seen "good at one game" guys try to pivot to other competitive games? its painful how quickly they fail. hes fucked and he knows it
>>739322642I've got no dog in this race but your mother. Games are not your identity anon. You are more than a buttskin you bought.
>>739322676Destiny 2 had a lighting change when Beyond Light hit the game. Beyond Light was basically retrofitting Destiny 2 because they couldn't/didn't want to launch Destiny 3 (which was the original plan). The lighting basically destroyed the existing visual design of the game.
>>739322742>Switch 2 exclusive>Fromshit online/netcodeThe sad part is it unironically probably will peak at more players than Maraflop, but still.
>>739322726Maybe those trophies are from when the base game went F2P in 2020, you gave it a shot.I know I did for maybe 2 or 3 hours, then never touched it again.
>be retarded D2 trannies>campaign hard against Marathon>observe steam charts every day>hoping it shuts down>your game gets shut down insteadKEK, and the saddest part is… had the D2 community not acted like psychotic ex girlfriends, and actually helped Marathon perform better, they would still be getting expansions today.
>>739313695nice
>>739317670It wasn't just bungie, concord (firewalk) was also pitched and sold to them as a future gem made by other ex bungie devs studio.
>>739322726It's not locked, it's fucking removed, forever.No refunds btw
>>739314961the weirdest shit to me is that they went through all the motions of creating a Star Wars-branded tie-in expansion but then cut all of the Star Wars branding out at the last minute, yet this didn't help the narrative or worldbuilding at all so all we got was a shitty themed expansion where you could get a not-saber and overall accomplish nothing that means much of fucking anything. Please tell me Bungie didn't have to pay Disney to use the IP.
>>739322828There's zero fucking chance The Duskbloods doesn't review better, sell better and have a 6x the player count that Marathon had. Cope PC cuck.
TASSI LOSTTROONSIRIS LOSTWITNESS LOSTSTREAMERS LOSTGUARDIANS WONMARATHON WONPETE WONLMAOOOOOOOOO
>>739322953>have a 6x the player count that Marathon hadThat’s not a high bar tho
>>739316648>>739322726old raid bosses are returning but not the old stories
>>739322953I wouldn’t complain if it did, on the contrary that would be fucking hilarious.Still not buying it.
They're not even bringing back full raids for Pantheon lol. You're only getting final boss encounters
>>739322434>unbiased and indiscriminatelol lmao
>>739320284HAHAHAHAHA
>>739320371That's the domain of a Midna thread, anon.
>>739322914thinking about all those Destiny 2 physical discs that are nothing but useless waste at this point. I have 2 of them for fucks sake
>>739320331bungie is a sony owned studio, they have the backing to make a game
>>739322867? This is literally happening because marathon is a massive flop
>>739322536maybe don't base your entire career off of a single live service game
>>739322903>Japan trying to financially navigate the american judeobolshevik civil war and stepping on every single IED
>>739322953The random angry tendie really is the cherry on top of this thread kek
>>739323034>Still not buying it.We know PC Cuck. You'll be here seething everyone else plays a new Fromsoft game.
>>739320284Is there a single straight character?
>>739319970new planet from edge of fate
>>739322279Time to switch to warframe like a normal human being. All his coworkers already did
>>739322434Having played Warframe a lot, I kind of agree.It'd tedious and restrictive at low level, then feels great at mid-level when you can start building and shit, but then it turns into a snoozefest when you have all the optimal mods and loadouts and you can kill an entire map by sneezingThere's 0 (zero) feedback, gun game is trash, it's just boring
>>739323176You, the main characte- lmao no you are a fucking faggot
>>739323131and D2 had been on a downward trajectory and finally started hemorhagging players like a gunshot victim since 2024.
>>739315582Everything from Edge of Fate was 80 9/11s after Final Shape, the Lawless Frontier update (star wars themed one) was way better received than Edge of Fate and it's first update, but it's still under the umbrella of design they moved into with EoF. Imagine Curse of Osiris with no Forsaken on the horizon, that's what happened.
>>739319321
>>739323167Based Fromsoft is gonna dab on the western online multiplayer extraction slop genre with their first attempt. What the fuck is wrong with PC/Snoy devs and the west?
>>739313695
>>739316006it was december anon doesnt know what hes talking about
>>739323176you used to be able to hear an unnamed background character in the Tower talking about her boyfriend joining the fleets. That's it.Drifter had several potential love interests but nothing happened every single time by the time I had checked out of the game. But it's Drifter so no one fucking cares.
>>739322867brown hands typed this
>>739318984>Like what?nta, but I distinctly remember that one time when Rebecca and Megan were showing off a feature where players could make their other frames beside Umbra act independently when player was in operator mode. Which was a horrible idea because people hate that part of playing Umbra, so chat got angry. Girls actually stopped showing off this feature and started discussing it with chat.Ultimatly the idea was scrapped, and the reward was instead replaced with Lua lenses (the fourth tier of focus lens)
>>739316061They ran into the same issue Microsoft has with Halo: Infinite. No one knows how the fuck it works because the people that did are long gone. In Microsoft's case it was hiring batches of brown skinned developers on 6-12 month contracts and continually cycling through 'permanent' staff positions. They had to drop co-op from the game at 90% complete and tried to bury it but couldn't because A) no one at the time was competent or tenured enough to either notice or deal with the fact that they left a near-feature complete multiplayer system in the game at launch and B) they're brown, quality isn't a thing, deadlines areIn Bungie's case they just bled staff like crazy and their CFO/CEO was a fucking dickhead.. they didn't (for the most part) self-sabotage.
>>739313695>only played the first 15 minutes of Destiny 1 back in 2014How was it anons?
>>739322867Bungie dying is a good thing regardless and Destiny was already unsalvageable years ago.
pretty fun.
>>739323504That sounds like a good example.
>>739322795What the fuck are you saying
>>739323571Kind of fun if you had friends to raid with.Otherwise I don’t think you missed out on anything special.
>>739323243It was a self inflicted wound that was easily treatable but they decided to bury their heads in the sand while getting buttfucked.
>>739316061Because Bungie, like the retards they are, didn't update all the vaulted content along with the game so it's literally not compatible with the current version of the game. They also don't keep old builds of the game so it's even harder for them to update shit. Plus the people working on Destiny 2 are notoriously terrible at coding. Knowing them, it'd take years to even get the vaulted content to be compatible assuming they didn't accidentally break some shit in the process
>>739323587the studio should never have been forgiven for massively and disengenuously overhyping its product on a level that dwarfed even Hello Games/;No Man's Sky. Fucked up part is that Sean is closer to delivering the vision he promised for NMS than Bungie is for Destiny, after 12 years.
>>739322676Warm color grading, higher contrast and direct sunlight. The sunlight is more diffused in the second as is usual for a mostly cloudy day.
>>739314109>they are actually going all in on MarathonBungie employee here.You're fucking stupid.Destiny 3 is coming out soon. Just wait you stupid fags. Yeah, I said it. I am woke IRL but you will never find out who I am. FUCK YOU. Also, Asmongold is a fucking slimeball, fuck him.
>>739321454This isn't Bungie's anymore. Sony took it for themselves when they bought the studio.
>>739323951>my uncle works for woke
>>739321492I'd expect Sony will keep as many of them as they can if they're hard to hire jobs like good programmers or UI people, some will get sent to the Marathon mines, and probably most get laid off.
>>739324042You're fucking retarded. Just wait until Destiny 3 drops and everyone on here will look like fucking dumbasses.
>>739323176Drifter (gf is hive thing/dead)Blue man(wife is dead)Crow(gf is dead)There are straight people but all their relationships are dead lol
>>739324135There isn't going to be a Destiny 3 you retard
>>739322785>yeah but there's nothing he can do, rightIt's called getting a real job.
>>739324135>Just wait until Destiny 3 dropsTwo more weeks.
>>739324135Dont worry if you arent larping youll be fired before that
>>739323378Why do they call it 'reproductive rights' instead of killing unborn babies? That is what it is.
>>739322726>QRD on content vaultingI saw an anon explain it once like this>Destiny 2 engine is really inefficient>problems get worse the more content you have in a single build of the game>installation size gets too large, too>Bungie need to keep making Destiny expansions to keep getting money>game gets too big to the point of almost breaking>have to take content out to add new content in>old unused content like the D2 campaign get 'vaulted' (deleted)Then Bungie got sued over it but couldn't put the content back in the game because it would require them to remove current content, and the judge buckbroke them for it.
>>739323723sadly, pretty much this. Bungie leadership marginally more competent than fucking Chris Roberts at this point, but not by much. At least they still manage to ship games out.They mismanage comparably-sized staffs however.
>>739324217>There isn't going to be a Destiny 3 you retardIt's in production.
>>739324408And when Bungie is shuttered, then what?
>>739324408wow, see you in 2030 I guess
>>739324475Sony is still valuing them at $2.6 billion per the recent report which is hilarious but it shows they’re still backing them
