I can't wait for this game. I played the poo poo out of Destiny on Xbox 360 and One. Is the Serious Overchill clan the one you all are joining? I'd like to get into some goon games and I plan on streaming.


I play in 16:10 and my vertical FoV is loving PHAT. It's actually op in fps games.

I think some of us are playing with SRS OC and some are playing with the old clan from D1, I'm not sure

Pretty much everyone in srsoc will be newbies to the series and it's going to be extra kawaii

Destiny 1: story sucked rear end but it was the funnest game to blow poo poo up in because you had rad powers, sold 5 billion copies

Destiny 2: they spent a lot of time on the story now, but your powers are bad, will sell [xxxxxxx] copies

thats a gross oversimplification of what has been stated numerous times but also a convenient narrative

to the other guy: you don't need to play D1 but reading some of the stuff from the first game might give you some helpful context

It has basis in some truth, the darkness which was a major plot point in the original is taking a back seat for now, and a major plot figure in the year 1 story won't be appearing again in Destiny 2 according to the lead dev.

Destiny 2 has a brand new story where you don't have to know the backstory from the original. Destiny 1 is still worth playing though, it's never too late to get into it and will still have tons of players long after Destiny 2 has come out.

The darkness still exists, a bunch of rear end in a top hat cabal are coming from far away to put the traveler in a ziplock bag so we can't have any light.

The darkness is just a void outside the solar system bungie summons bad guys from when we need a new boss to kill.

some info coming out of Gamescom today:

- SLI is also supported
- Battle.net chat features will be supported in game (like cross game whisper, party chat, etc)

The PC version supports HDR, that's a pretty huge deal. HDR looks amazing. I've been playing RE7 PC with it on and it's unreal. 4k resolution, uncapped frame rate and now HDR support. PC D2 is going to be something pretty special.

Bungie's senior technical artist has just directly answered a question I asked him on Reddit, the PC game has support for resolution scaling, a feature not yet mentioned until now.

I'm concerned that they haven't fired their lead writer yet. It'll be really hard to remove the story from the game with him around. Don't they care at all for consistency?

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.


I think you could have gone heavier on the Drum'n'Bass but overall a solid playlist

Click interact, then join clan. You may need to set it as active or primary once you are accepted.

the discord that goes with it is really active and has a lot of people who have played more destiny than they have sense

first game was really good after a few expansions and they learned what makes a game fun, so hopefully they get it right early on this time but it could be garbage at launch again

The first game was really fun, as he mentioned, after they fine tuned poo poo over the course of three years. The thing that always made it good, no matter how hosed up the meta or progression was, is the gun feel on console. Not sure how that will translate to PC.

They've also made some pretty dramatic changes to the overall level of your super, grenades and melee. I think it sucks major rear end but some people love it.

Play the beta.
