So how do we like it? We all know Destiny is being released this year or at the very least on the beggining of 2018.

Destiny is bad and Bungie should ritually committed suicide for releasing it.

Sounds good. Believe it or not I still have some faith in Bungie. I loved Destiny but it had a lot of shortcomings, and Bungie has made it clear they know that. I'm optimistic.

Maybe they could flesh out the enemies like they did with the Covenant instead of having us fight generic evil guys.

Variks was a good first step

NuBungie is shit and I have no faith in them making Destiny 2 good, as they know they can make a shit ton of money with little effort. I just want my Marathon 4 I was promised with their contract with Activision

>will not allow character transfer
Thanks Bungie my years of play really meant something huh?
>tfw your character lorewise has done more than in a couple years then the vanguard has done in their lives and probably will never be referenced in Destiny 2.

>Bungie employee spotted.

I reckon Borderlands 3 will come out in time to compete it.

At the end of 2 it was heavily implied that it would be multi-world.

No fucking thanks.

Destiny is a shit game that's too scared to take the MMO plunge, so its just with this shitty 3 player mission style.

They already did when they went to Activision. They didnt stand a chance making their own game in this world.

Seeing how the new gun patch is gonna be. The PVP will be as busted as ever.

Skorris is cancer.

>>tfw your character lorewise has done more than in a couple years then the vanguard has done in their lives
That's actually a bad thing. Keep in mind in just a year of the game being out your character has
>Killed the black heart (whatever it was, never actually got an explanation and light 'never returned to the traveler')
>Killed Crota, one of the most powerful entities in the solar system
>Killed Oryx, the most powerful God of the Hive Pantheon, even stronger than the Worm Gods whom commute directly with 'the darkness'. Possibly most powerful entitiy in the Galaxy
This is a bad thing. When you kill off your most powerful opponent easily in a years time, what this says is basically nothing is actually a threat, and in order to create something that feels epic, you have to powercreep the enemies to hell. I know Oryx's sisters will return stronger than Oryx, again, this is power creep and isn't good. It's a sign of weak story telling when you have to keep introducing stronger opponents than previously established.

Unless they decide to make us play something other than guardians, or weaker, guardians.

I highly doubt it.

You forgot
>Restarted the Iron Lords
But yeah I get what you're saying. That is definitely weak story telling. My only problem is that our character will not get recognized for his exploits. I bet you The Slayer of Oryx is never mentioned again in the lore.

The fact that they don't have to make the game available on previous console generations, it's being released on pc, and if they focus on pve content then I am upgrading myself from cautious optimistic to slightly hype. The gunplay in Destiny is top tier, even with a controller, it'll feel like sex on a M+KB.

Also the Taken King was the best the game had ever been, if they use that as a jumping off point content wise, that's a good sign.

>Bungie plans to release content every one to two months like Overwatch “while also delivering new narrative paths and new game play mechanics.
>while also delivering new narrative paths and new game play mechanics
That is basically Warframe's "pile features upon features" philosophy to game design. Not that it is necessarily bad but it will generate concern about whether they can make these regular updates meaningful beyond just its own small slice of the game's content.

Still, if it is for PC and they can get their basic gameplay down I think I could enjoy it. Did not like having to miss out on the original game's progression because I don't own any consoles, so now even if I were to get a PS4 a lot of the older content would be out of date and largely ignored by the existing playerbase.

We killed the most powerful Hive God in existence within the first major expansion, at this point it's basically set in stone that nothing in the universe can fuck with Guardians because they're the good guys and they always win because power of friendship and love. It's lazy storytelling on par with Clifford the Big Red Dog. But it doesn't matter because in Destiny 2 it will just be
>Uh oh, there's an even stronger Hive/Vex entity that wants to fuck with us now!
>Oh nevermind, Guardians are OP and we can't lose lol

If Bungie is smart they'll probably restart the story, or do what Blizzard did with WoD and just pretend like it didnt happen.

There are still the worm gods though
Oryx was only able to kill one and that's only after he stole his sisters' power (which he later lost to resurrect them). And there are at least several others on the Fundament.

Besides, it was already established that the Traveler was the one thing Oryx feared, since it was the only entity that could fuck with his home world and the only entity that threatened his sword logic

Welll with the way Bungie has been going about their updates I'm sure they'll fuck it up. They're really good at that.

>Bungie made ANOTHER engine
That's probably another half a billion dollars down the drain. On the other hand, Activision really pays these people everything they need.

That's admirable and all but seriously, this publisher could release ten original games evefy year and even if they'd all flop it still wouldn't hurt their bottom line.

Opinions on the supposed Bungie employee that posted here a few days ago?
boards.fireden.net/v/thread/366268927/#366268927

People obviously start impersonating him towards the end of the thread but a lot of what he said seems credible.

I want to believe those leaks so bad. Only time will tell.

I had loads of fun playing this with my friends. I hope they at least let me transfer my shaders and emblems

Playing as a Fallen would be the ONLY thing that would revive my faith in Bungie, as i loved playing as Elite in Halo. Sadly, I don't trust this leak. Seems like they're trying too hard to do what we'd think Bungie would do.

>Protagonist from first game "disappeared" on a mission to Europa
So they're going the Bethesda route huh?
>"Oh the Nerevarine? Your character from the last game who is literally Jesus? Oh he's on a sick rooaaaddd trrriiippppp to Akavir! You'll never see him again!"
Why is this allowed?

Some of that seems so believable too.

>Restarted the Iron Lords
That pack of failures led by the biggest failure of them?

Well hey, we as the new Iron Lords fixed it all
Then put on paper masks of his dead fuckbuddy and made fun of it

Wait so it says there in one of his early posts that the original Destiny will be packaged along with the sequel in the PC release. I wonder how that is going to work for content because there would genuinely be droves of people who have never played the game that will be playing it from scratch.

It's great how that is canon.

I know it's annoying user, but the disappearance route is really the only way to deal with overpowered protags from previous games.

was it the Traveler or the Guardians themselves?
cause when the Vex queen fired up her sims, she could never find a way to beat him even tho the Vex are cannonically tied for strongest in the universe. So she left it up to the guardians to take care of him so she could come in and clean up the mess

All the funniest shit is canon

Blind Legion I Cohort/Century 3/Maniple 3
5 Squad [HEAVY INF]
TASK:
- defend Psion intelligence ops 071x146
OUTCOME:
- overwhelmed by Guardian fireteam/Vex pressure. few survivors. survivors reported Guardians foraging for equipment, dancing, and performing acrobatics with light vehicles.

>Guardians dancing on sparrows is canon
>this makes the enemies we fight even more terrified of us as we see death as a joke

All they have to do to make this game good is

>no poop level design like the first
>Some sort of advanced moment that speeds up the game
>you use weapons and armor provided in the PvP, no loadout shit
>no supers/dumb ass skills in PvP

I fix'd it for you Bungie, now do it

Dust Giant IV Cohort/Century 4/Maniple 1
Harvester Dropship [TAC AIR]
TASK:
- support IV/4/1/4 operations in 071x145
OUTCOME:
- dropship shot down. crew reported Guardians operating elaborate totem rocket weapons.

GJALLARHORN BABY

>The sequel will heavily focus on chronological events set after the Fall 2015 Expansion The Taken King

I HOPE YOU BOUGHT THE SUPER ULTRA MIX + MY GOOD GOY

Will PC ever get the first Destiny? Seems pretty dumb only to release its sequel on pc but not its prequel.

You didn't miss much.

There was a bungie employee the other day here on Sup Forums suggested that destiny 1 might come to pc as "the complete edition" it will be combined into one launcher with destiny 1 and 2. And it will be releasing at Christmas this year.

They couldn't put it on PC before cause of the Sony contract but apparently its expiring this year. So no more exclusive shit for PS4 all platforms will be on equal footing. Unless Microsoft tries to buy back bungies loyality.

It goes against my religion to play the second game in a series without ever playing the first.

With all these rumors recently. The bungie employee, now this. Could we get a pre-e3 reveal?

youtube.com/watch?v=N-TIrS7ukyk

Could be.CG trailer now gameplay at e3

I doubt it had anything to do with Sony exclusivity (surely Sony would be more concerned with keeping the game away from Xbox than PC)

The lack of a PC version was probably due to work load. Destiny came out on PS3, 360, PS4 and Xbox One. Prior to that Bungie had been used to only working on one platform exclusively.

Sounds decent I just hope the raid (maybe raids) is up to standard but I would like them to add more mechanics.

>343 employee spotted

Activision has an investors call today. The game will probably have to be officially acknowledged as it will obviously play a significant part in Activision's earnings.

I like the idea of a FPS MMOish game, something Borderlands should have done, but I just don't have any interest in using my controller to play such a game. I like the artstyle and all that but the controls really put me off from bothering with it.

If it is multiplat then maybe, we'll see if Borderlands does anything before then. The end of 2 implied the next one could be a MMO but that obviously hasn't happened yet.

Cabals never got enough love. I still want to see more of them.
