Incorrect, it is an intergalactic simulation on how to eliminate the male sex of an entire alien species so that you can have that thicc waifu strange all to yourself. i think there's some sort of plot regarding a giant ben-wah ball in the sky being captured, but that hasn't been 100% confirmed, yet...

Yeah, I'm really wondering just how customizable everything is going to be, because I'm sort of in the same boat. Except I use a move nav controller instead of a keyboard, so as much as I'd like to think that I'm going to use the same exact inputs as my XIM, I'm still not sure that it's even going to be possible.

You can reassign any and every single keybind in the game, there's even a separate button to charge grenades somehow.

i mean grenade charging was in the console beta, nice that PC has it as a separate keybind tho. That's cool

gently caress they are doing the GTX1080 bundles again. I couldn't even get a proper refund on the copy I already bought even if I wanted to, since I bought Blizzard cards instead of paying cash. I guess I could get $60 worth of emotes? I saw Slow Clap in that patrol teaser.

We'll find out in a few days. The closest analog I can think of is The Division, since both games use an enormous amount of fancy graphical effects and particles in wide open areas. At 4k resolution my 6600k @ 4.6ghz only sees about 60-70% usage on all four cores but the 1080ti hovers around 80-90% in the middle of fights with shitloads of flamethrowers, grenades, debris flying everywhere, etc.

CPUs are so strong nowadays that bottlenecks in 90% of cases is down to the GPU. In any case Bungie has confirmed that resolution scaling exists in the PC version so any GPU bottlenecks can sorted by lowering it.

I think Destiny 2 will actually run even better than The Division PC, since the engine isn't as advanced or complex.

My educated guess would be that if you have a modern quad core (i5 and Ryzen 5 series) you'll be fine like such at high settings:
GTX 970 or 1060 = 1080p60
GTX 1070 = 1440p60
GTX 1080 = 3440*1440p60
GTX 1080 ti = 4K60

TLDR: if you can run The Division, that's your approximate equivalent performance/setting for D2

Bungie's official word, for what it's worth:

quote:

Recommended
CPU - Intel Core i5-7400
GPU - Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

Minimum
CPU - Intel Pentium G4560
GPU - Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 2GB

Bungie’s Event Machine
CPU – Intel i7-7700k
GPU – Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080Ti 11GB

That minimum CPU recommendation says it all really. Concentrate on GPU performance unless you're running an i3 from 3+ generations ago

Welp. That NPC animation looked straight out of a BioWare joint. I still think it's weird that they brought Gideon Emery in to voice a 2nd character rather than just expanding his existing role if they liked him so much, and cast someone new for the new role. My guess is we're not seeing Reef cryptarch at all in this game.

I like how the trauma of Andromeda has made everybody forget that "mouth moves vaguely in sync with words" has been standard and perfectly acceptable for like a decade and a half now. Not everybody is going to invent new tech for facial capture like CDPR did, especially when you probably talk to that guy twice in person.
