guess we'll just have to make due with a prettier game at 60 FPS and a control scheme that isn't a filthy abomination before God. Also no subscription fee.

Fuck the DH
Also the "PS4 Exclusive Content" trailer for Lake Of Shadows shows no enemies except Taken, so I'm lead to believe the exclusive strike is loaded with nothing but the most obnoxious enemies from the first game.

That warp/teleport "haha your magnetic bullets didn't hit me" poo poo would have been clowned on by mouse users anyhow.

The PS4 exclusive strike was pretty unique since it had that trio of bosses, but that just meant it was the hardest/worst strike.

That "trio of bosses" was just another huge HP pool sink before Bungie learned how to design strike bosses that aren't stupid.

The PS4 exclusive content in D1 was a wet fart that was designed to be easy to crank out and not something you'd die if you missed. I expect the same for D2 and so no big deal.

What do you mean 60? The frame rate is basically uncapped on PC. I think the max is something like 200fps which is plenty for a game like this.

Most people's monitors won't go over 60. Yes, some people (like me) have monitors that go higher, but its odd of you to be like "what do you mean, 60?!?"

If you're rendering 200fps on a 60Hz monitor you're only seeing 60 frames.

I have raided so many times with different "Krew" members and even LFG people and there are plenty of people out there that had trouble with jumping parts. I'm sure if he gave the example of the having trouble in the "phallus pleasure palace" room you guys wouldn't have batted an eye.

I'm glad he made it through and learned to time his jumps better. I'm all saying is that some players need more help than others. Instead of calling them dumb and moving on, help them. Guide them. In the future they could that asset fireteam member you always needed.

you still get less display lag if you're rendering faster than your display refresh rate, which feels noticeably nicer. same idea behind gsync.

You said it was 60 and it isn't. Whether or not most or all people on PC would experience only 60fps doesn't matter. What matter is whether or not they have a meaningful upper limit, and they don't.

Digital Foundry did a vid on what kind of CPU/GPU is necessary to hit 1080p/60. The tl;dr is a Pentium G4560 and a GTX 1050 will get you to 60fps on mid-settings. Even an old 750ti manages to get a somewhat stable 60fps with resolution scaling

I didn't say poo poo bro, the guy you replied to said it (1stGear) keep your poo poo straight. I'm just pointing out that you're being an odd stickler over words for no loving reason.

1stGear didn't even say "destiny 2 is locked at 60" which is what you're interpreting it as for some stupid loving reason, just so you can pretend to dunk on him and seem smart?

Obviously in context he was talking about on a 60hz monitor. Its obvious to anybody not trying to show off.

gsync reverses the direction of order. Normally your computer pushes frames at one rate and your monitor accepts them and displays them at another, and any sync problems causes tearing, and vsync requires limiting the computer to the rate of the monitor.

Gsync (and freesync) reverses this so the computer buffers frames and supplies them and the monitor runs at the rate it accepts frames at, constantly changing its frame rate to match, so there's never any sync issues at all in the first place, regardless of frame rate.

Gsync has nothing to do with rendering faster than your monitor displays. Its about keeping them in lock-step.

If you're at 40 fps on a 60 fps monitor with no vsync you get 40 fps with tearing.
If you're at 40 fps on a 60 fps monitor with vysnc you display 30 fps with no tearing.
If you're at 40 fps on a monitor with gsync you see 40 fps with no tearing.

Much better shooting than Borderlands and much much much better enemies and bosses.

Not quite as much gun randomness. Same gun brand concept.

Character classes are less diverse but have more abilities and are more fun. Lots of double jumping.

I have a 6500K and GTX970 and game was a silky smooth 60fps at 1080p with everything in high (default settings is 'custom' which seems to be a middle point between mid and high from what I saw in the beta).
