Destiny 2 | Curse of Osiris DLC

Grats me.

That's actually really cool. More MP games should have this.

 

[Commander Clueless]

Well 1) at least you get it on PC, 2) better than releasing a half assed version on PC which a lot of games do.

Very, very true. I'd rather it be delayed than come out half assed.


That said, it still makes you wonder...how friggin' hard would it be to release at the same time?

Especially when the gameplay they showed today was on the PC? Hell, there's a picture already of the PC options menu.

4v4 crucible and you're letting gunslingers run around with 6 golden gun shots.

 

[Smoke]

It's a shame, but if it isn't ready it isn't ready.

It's not like they have a ton of experience creating a PC game.

Way too early to be complaining about balance issues, those are things that will hopefully be fixed in the next few months plus the beta.

Although I'm still bummed about 4v4..just have a 4v4 play list..I can already see how dumb 3 flag control is going to be.

Who says three flag control is even in the game?

 

[syz]

TBH the slower pace of the game and all these roaming supers all seem better suited to 6v6 anyways. Long + universal grenade cooldowns, nerfed movement speed, near absence of 1-hit kill weapons. The things that make 6v6 a cluster**** don't exist anymore.

4v4 would be better in Destiny 1... this doesn't seem like Destiny 1.

Well unless they got rid of their most popular game mode other than maybe clash.

All this early crucible footage makes me glad that this litre of rum was on sale. Running in a straight line is the fastest way to get around now. Firing a sniper bullet in a crucible match will be about as rare as getting a hand job from a unicorn.

And now there's literally no point in using a fusion rifle either.

Yea but they listened to the community or something

Seriously, it's 2017 and they couldn't hit 60fps on a 4v4 MP mode..

 

[JaegerDice]

Frankly, I'd be interested to see how Destiny 2's shooting 'feels' at 60fps.

Bungie shooting mechanics always have a great 'feel' to them, something intangible that's hard to describe. But ALL the shooters they've made to date that have provided that great feel have been 30fps.

I wonder just how tied that framerate is to the specific, particular 'feel' of the shooting Bungie provides.

It's like just a bit floating, just a bit weighty... it's very, very different from the incredibly snappy, almost twitchy feel of most 60fps shooters. In the newest Halo feels different at 60fps. Not BAD, at all, but definitely not like any Bungie shooter ever has.

 

[Slapshot_11]

gotta say im pretty disappointed in the class abilities ive seen.. pretty much the same as D1..

Well they basically changed one sub class per class, and changed a lot of the old things about the other 2 per class.

Supposedly PvP doesn't have dedicated servers though, if I was planning on buying this on PC I might be thinking about changing platforms tbh.

I thought D2 was supposed to be a big leap forward? Looks like the same game. I don't really understand the appeal to begin with but was hoping Bungie would show me something as a PC player.

 

[Commander Clueless]

To me, the biggest leap forward D2 needs to take is in the campaign. Maybe I'm in the minority who really thought the campaign had potential but just fell short.

I thought the shooting, visuals, music, etc. were all top notch in Destiny....the shortcomings were mostly in a lack of content (unique content, as in not doing the same thing over and over again) and a story that made absolutely no sense.

Some tweaks to multiplayer (both PvP and interactions in PvE) would also be welcomed, but I don't know if 4v4 was the way to go. We'll see.

Mind you, I stopped playing before the Taken King so.....

 

[Morbo]

yeah the problem for me was micro-sized maps and a lack of stuff to do. from first glance, it looks like they've addressed that.

 

[Carlzner]

Well... it looks really good. I like the visual style a lot. The weapons especially.

I'm definitely leaning towards buy. I got annoyed by Destiny and it's lack of things to do but I also put in a lot of hours where i was loving it.

 

[syz]

It's the morning after and I still can't believe they killed Destiny.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

So apparently there are no dedicated servers for PVP. Funny how they think it's a better network experience to do P2P instead of a fully fledged dedicated server. A multi-billion dollar company in Activision can't spend a little extra to run dedicated servers for a mode pretty much everyone is going to play. **** you.

Starts around 1:10:50

IGN: "Crucible tech, specifically Trials of Osiris, you guys know that is one of your premier multiplayer modes. Are we getting dedicated servers?"

Mark Noseworthy: "We are not getting dedicated servers."

IGN: "RIP the dream. Why?"

*long pause of silence*

Luke Smith: "It's just not an investment that we made for Destiny 2, like the uh... I understand there's certainly a desire for it. You know, the smaller team format, although it's one person bigger in the Trials case for sure here, in the smaller team format in general it's easier for us to find tighter matches. And we're also going to rechange the parameters for matchmaking, to refocus on connection quality instead of like Trials win matching. WE're gonna like change the, we're going to change a bunch of parameters to focus on giving people a better network experience."

Basically, straight up ******** and excuses.

The PvE universe was always the portion of Destiny that had much higher potential. If they come closer to realizing that potential in D2, I couldn't care less about the Crucible. The Crucible was basically a time filler because the PvE universe lacked depth and meaningful replay value.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

And who's to say that the world in Destiny 2 will be more fulfilling and have a greater depth than the first game? Also, the Crucible is clearly something they put a lot of effort into but the P2P connection killed it for me.

Nah. If I'm going to play a PvP game competitively, I want it to have a meaningful ladder system and not be gear based. Destiny failed in both of those requirements. I'll stick to games with better executed PvP systems. The crucible was a fun time waster, but didn't offer anything particularly enthralling.
