And now for something completely different
Well I'll be, the game actually runs pretty dang good on my piece of poo poo rig (i5-2400 + GTX 950 OC) @ 1080p high settings with renderer at 90% :stare: . It's not a buttery smooth 60fps, more like 40-60fps but I can deffo live with that.

This game runs crazy smooth, looks beautiful and the gunplay is really solid. Not much to the beta but it certainly sold me. Titan berserk mode is fun as gently caress.

This is a really, really pretty game. The beta is definitely more a demo then a beta, but it looks like all the fears about a terrible PC port are unfounded.

So let's say I have a up-to-date rig but a lovely monitor with like 60hz refresh... there's a lot of jaggedy edges that antialiasing isn't helping, any advice wrt the settings to try fiddling with?

This is from pages back but we're basically the same person, I've turned off AA and cranked my render resolution as high as I can without my framerate dropping below 60fps and it's giving me better visuals than MSAA was

Since I don't have a console I've barely seen anything of Destiny 1, so I jumped into Destiny 2 beta not really sure what I was expecting.

Barring the pretty lackluster tutorial (Was that even the tutorial? It didn't explain anything and I had to look up the key for the "SUPER CHARGED" skill), I had a bit of fun with a friend on the strike mission. I do feel though that Destiny 2 for me suffers the same problem as The Division did - I don't mind shooting guns, but I really like using abilities and skills.
Give me an option to lower the cooldown on all the skills and I would have so so much more fun with the game. The thing I like with Borderlands is that each character "skill" has usually a short and nice cooldown and you could specialize into that skill making guns still useful, but not your primary way of dealing damage.
In comparison the Templar I played had a extremely fun ultimate, but once it ended I had to wait for the slooooow meter to recharge shooting with a generic assault rifle for what felt a ridiculously long time. That's no fun at all.

It is a very pretty game though!

Shawn:
Well it starts with a holla! and ends with a Creamsicle.
There are traits to lower cooldowns on armor pieces but the way supers work is that when you use yours and get kills (or with the shield, block damage) it produces orbs. You can't see the orbs but your teammates can and when they pick them up in fills up part of their super meter. So you basically try to chain supers that way.

I think the grenade cool down could be lowered a bit more but I don't know what the armor perks are going to be like.

Hand Cannons are so ridiculously good with a mouse.

Game runs great on PC for the most part, had one crash but otherwise smooth. Good frame rate, manual FOV setting, separate sensitivity settings for normal and ADS, very nice to see.

Guess I'm gonna get this after all. At least I have a bit before the PC release. gently caress consoles if PC is an option.

I wonder how many Destiny fans are gonna get it on console and then again on pc?

there's basically no gear poo poo in the beta. Like there is but you're so limited and nothing does anything.

I considered that for a bit but after playing the pc beta, no way. I'm kinda glad i didn't bother with the ps4 beta at all because doing the (admittedly very limited) beta content for the first time on pc was very fun. got a golden gun triple kill in my first crucible match, without even plugging in my controller!

it's not even just the way way way better graphics, the game loads everything so fast and all the menus/inventories/etc are insanely snappy. if you've played destiny 1 you know the menu jank I'm talking about. gently caress that poo poo forever.

Yeah the UI feels like it was always designed for a mouse. That cursor interface was kinda laggy on a controller thumbstick but on a mouse hooo boy its slick.

Its cool they have keyboard chat in Destiny now but you press enter to send a message and then you have to press enter AGAIN to close the chat window and go back to playing. That's dumb. No game does that.

"Oh man this boss is cool" Enter. Enter.

"Hey check out this new gun" Enter. Enter.

Hello, I have never played a Destiny

The little Ghost fucker and :smuggo: mask man are seriously annoying and really distracting. Why is bad voice acting and Reddit humor in a AAA space mans future guns game. I went to look for a voice slider half way through the co-op mission and there was none to be found. Major deal breaker

I find the game modestly entertaining and will maybe buy it on sale. OK, have fun!

If its anything like Destiny 1 then after a few story missions all the NPCs will basically disappear from the game entirely. They only have limited dialogue on a few missions and then turn into vendors who never do anything or say anything.

This is probably the main thing that will kill the game for me. What I definitely want out of my space opera shoot-mans is a constant stream of sub-Whedon "jokes" and one-liners.

So what's missing from the demo mechanics-wise? I was a little underwhelmed, thought there would be more abilities and movement. I like the secondary/tertiary guns for the hunter (the revolver and sniper), but the primary felt really plinky and lame on all 3. The boss was ok, but was basically a statue with too much health, and I didn't like using any of the ultimates. In the full game are there more abilities? How dependent are the guns on your class? Can you choose other ultimates that aren't pure melee? IS there a primary gun that rewards good aim?

I'll try the pvp next but I'm already pretty full up with csgo/pubg/overwatch for that
