You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

It doesn't really translate. Turn speed in Destiny 1 was slower than most titles and it has a REALLY narrow FoV. The high AA is what made the transition easier.

Yeah, it's indistinguishable from a controller. From the consoles perspective you are just moving the analog sticks with great speed and precision.

It would not take much work to detect that a XIM is in use. For example: the player can only ever enters their movement along 8 perfectly spaced axes (due to WASD limitations). "All movement input is spaced exactly 45° apart...."

Sure, but then the xim driver is updated to smoothly transition the stick over the intervening angles when the pressed keys change and now you can't tell the difference any more. Sony doesn't want to get into this sort of cat and mouse game, the number of xim users is too small to be really disruptive and games can keep them away from the general population with SBMM.

Wrong. I use a Move Navigation controller in my XIM setup. Not to mention there are some keyboards available with analog sticks.

1) It's not just Sony, the XIM works on Xbox too.

2) It's not about whether or not it's worth the time, it's about whether it's possible. I am saying that I bet a couple of software engineers at Sony/MS/whoever could heuristically detect a XIM with high accuracy and not a lot of work.

Not to mention most the people using XIM are loving poo poo. I get a lot of messages about my setup and play style from people who bought XIMS. I watch their gameplay. They are more often than not bad.

Not to sound like a smug rear end in a top hat but you shouldn't be using me as a yardstick of what a XIM user is like. There aren't many people who have been using a XIM for 7 years.

"Man is the animal that thinks something is wrong."
All a XIM can potentially enhance is gun skill, and even that is still up to the player. If you suck at everything else gun skill won't matter because you'll be hunted down, out maneuvered, and dead before you can get a shot off.

I don't think about my hands too much. Just trying to hit the ball in the air. Hit the ball in the air!
It depends on the game, but I think for Destiny, the xim is good for people who are much more comfortable with mouse and keyboard. If you were already a good controller player, you probably wouldn't benefit unless you played with it for a long time. This is how I feel, anyway. But I also switched to a monitor at the same time as I started using a xim and it's hard to understate how helpful it is to play on a monitor vs a TV.

I let me friends who've been playing destiny for a while try my setup and it doesn't really help them.

I've watched you play.

My observation has always been that you have an ability to make split second decisions that are very difficult to implement but you do so anyway. And that your overall movement/placement and situational awareness are leagues above most.

And you just have a certain je ne sais quois that can't be explained away by a controller choice.

Never stop posting these. That grenade game, on point as always. :allears: In fact, I hope you'll do some during beta week of you stunting on fools with new weapons. It was cool to see that you're just as lethal with a different loadout.

Thinking of the core gameplay feeling like D1, good stuff. But nearly everything they've shown has utterly failed to rouse me at all, some repulsing me away. Haven't preordered. Hopefully something in all the reveals in the coming weeks will decide for me so I don't have to rely on the beta.

Never thought I'd not want D2 but it does look very bad, and not in a dead gay retard way.

I am not going to do this, but I recognize a good advice. Everybody get burned of playing videogames and need to be refreshed playing something else. Even if you are not there, taking it in advance is a good idea.

I like the bungie have left their retard crew to run destiny1 into the ground.

The only thing left to do is play pvp so they make it the lamest game mode for iron banner, have two versions of rumble and the worst possible iteration of sixes outside of mayhem as the only 6 man play list.

To top it off their servers have gotten worse in the last week causing massive issues in the one game mode people still play weekly.
