I don't think about my hands too much. Just trying to hit the ball in the air. Hit the ball in the air!

i still dont know what this means. it's an FPS, what did you want them to do. i mean they already:

they made wholesale changes to the equipment loadout paradigm
they outright scrapped two pillars of the previous game's encounter design
they added a bunch of poo poo to the open world PVE stuff (even if it's bargain bin MMO poo poo)
they made PVP super sweaty tryhard poo poo
supposedly more coherent, better told story content
game looks better

i mean i guess i just don't quite get what else you would have wanted out of a sequel to Destiny: It's Kind of An MMO but Not Really

can you help me out here and make some suggestions

I wanted a puzzle based fighter, imo

It's so awesome seeing the Cabal and Vex in such high resolution. I cannot wait to see how the Fallen and the Hive look. gently caress!!!

I hope down the road they do throwback strikes - just to see this poo poo in HD!

Did they add Minotaur weak points? I don't remember their bellies having the white stuff.

That's not the only gently caress up. If you use the ingame text chat it will use your real name that you registered on battle.net with. It's set to that by default which is the most mind-boggling thing ever.

Yeah, that's the only trouble I had with the beta today. I got totally doxxed while streaming. Who the hell would ever think this is a good idea...

But besides that, it's great to play destiny at a decent fps and more important, being able to play the game without experiencing motion sickness!

The Jumpoff
May 4, 2011
Your dad's in the Russian Mafia, that's the jumpoff!
This loving game is gonna win every visual design award for 2017 I swear. I think the last time I was this floored by how good a game looked was when I played Doom 2016 after upgrading my 960 to a 1070. The settings defaulted to a mix of Medium with mostly High settings, and I turned off Motion Blur and DoF because who actually plays a game with those? The intro mission is a great tutorial, and the strike is one that I had fun replaying (can't wait to get some friends together tomorrow for it).

I'm also glad that PvP had a variety of weapons. On my Hunter I settled into a groove with the Nightshade Pulse Rifle and the Sunfire or whatever the exotic handcannon you get is. Speaking of which, Handcannons are the most satisfying thing holy fuuuuuuuuuuck I just want to headshot everything with them. :gizz:

Game has some console jumping puzzle bull poo poo. I loving hate games where you have to jump around and then you fall to your death. dumb dumb dumb.

Also the situational cues are bad. If you're getting shot at from some direction the sound is useless to localize and there are some dumb danger triangles or whatever on your screen but it's pretty hard to identify the source, especially when you're being shot at from multiple angles.

what the gently caress games do you normally play? solitaire?

I told y'all the beta sucks dick and hopefully the game is nothing like it, Bungie screwed the pooch on it big time. The console beta was this but 30fps and supers charged way slower and there was way less power ammo, so at least y'all are getting a slightly better iteration.

I'm glad it looks good on PC and the scuttlebutt is the game mechanics and activities are much better than the beta suggests (at least for PvE, pvp is going to be butt), so *fingers crossed inside a dude's anus*

One thing that might be a little disappointing is how much Bungie blew their load in making the opening mission look fantastic. EDZ looks okay, Titan is the loving poo poo, but Io and the other place are pretty unremarkable and it remains to be seen if the visual design will continue to wow throughout the rest of the game.

how bnet works is that people not on your realid friends list won't see your real name even though it shows up on your screen. so the only way this could, uh, doxx yourself is if you're streaming i guess?

I am so happy with the Destiny 2 PC beta. I get 60fps on high settings, completely smooth. Cannot overstate how amazing it feels to play the game at this frame rate. I love Destiny 1 and am so hyped for Destiny 2, but i'm no longer going to pre-order the PS4 version and will wait the extra time for the PC version now. It will be worth the wait for the better experience.

It's not that i'm aware of, it's not in Overwatch and Diablo III. You can change this in the settings anyways.

you probably don't have any realid friends then, because i distinctly recall this happening in d3 and sc2

see http://us.battle.net/en/realid/faq

quote:

By default, your real first and last name are visible to the Real ID friends of your Real ID friends

quote:

Real ID friends will automatically also be considered BattleTag friends. In Diablo III, Real ID friends will see both a friend’s BattleTag and real name in their friends list, along with information about what character their friend is currently playing. Players who become BattleTag friends are not automatically considered Real ID friends.

For example, a Real ID friend in Diablo® III would show up as “FallenSlayer (John Smith), Playing Barbabos, Level 6 Barbarian, in a Public Game” in your friends list, while a BattleTag friend would show up as “FallenSlayer, Playing Barbaros, Level 6 Barbarian, in a Public Game”.

It almost feels like a different game at 60 fps and above. I pre-ordered the game on PS4 digitally and will play it for that 6 week span just to get my fix and play with the PS4 buddies but I am 100% going to main PC. Really curious if they balance console and PC separately, Handcannons are extremely powerful on PC.

An updated engine, new enemies, a different feel, just something to justify a sequel instead of what is closer to an expansion. This game is feeling old for those of us who have played from the start but aren't addicted (took a few six month+ breaks).

they said they will balance separately, though to what extent we don't know. given all the work they've clearly put into the pc version I'm waaaay more optimistic than i was yesterday

all my d1 friends are gonna wait for the pc release so that none of us are tempted to get the bad version. which I'm glad of because it's pretty tempting.

The shoulder charge? It doesn't kill people anymore though. Every time I hit someone dead center with it, it took down their shields but left them with full HP. It also has an absurdly long cooldown.

The only reason to play Striker is because they got better grenades. The Defender Shield is better in every way over Fist aside from pure aoe damage.

Oh, I'll have to try that then. Because the shield is lame and I hate it. I'll probably play a few more times then take a break since we still have like two months before release :negative: so long. It looks like our ships now have a slot that lets us change our spawning and revive animations too. I'm hoping for some great poses to come out of that.
