Having much better luck in PVP after getting a pulse rifle I enjoy, and not rushing around like an idiot. The game looks far faster paced than you should be playing it, I think.

I mean hey, I'm getting a positive kill ratio now so that's something. :v:

If you played D1 AT ALL you need to beat TTK and RoI to unlock D2 on your account. Otherwise just create a brand new account and you can play D2 immediately.

TTK was the best Destiny had to offer. You are setting a high mark here.


Nothing in the game is hard, except the raid. Everything in the game can feel hard if you approach it when you are underleveled, so you are one shotted by the first mobs that melee you.

TTK was enjoyable but I just got kinda bored with the naked attempts at recycling content to save money. The Taken are just a glorified asset recycle. It's tough for me not to compare Destiny to what it was originally supposed to be. Then the next expansion is just recycled Fallen w/ red stuff on them.

Continually paying cash for basically the same content is not that fun. I was expecting new aliens and new planets with every DLC, and especially with a sequel, but now we have recycled Cabal in Destiny 2.

If the game is fun then I might pick it up, since I like loot shooters. It just sucks that they're recycling enemies and dressing it up with a bunch of bullshit when it's really just Activision being cheap.

I am actually glad the main villain is a race we are familiar with and not another goddamned alien type I have to remember.

I like the public events a lot. I didn't play a lot of D1 so maybe it's the same but I enjoy having a big boss to fight with a little ad-hoc team when I'm not sure what I want to do next.

Sure but in Destiny 2 as it is I just assume anyone aerial's a free kill and so far I've been right. I especially like it when someone using the Fist of Havoc didn't learn their lesson about doing it without Superman in Destiny 1.

I feel like it's kind of a tradeoff between keeping old enemies and introducing new ones.

The newer entries in both the Gears and Halo franchises have removed classic enemies that were fun to fight and replaced them with new ones that are either boring as gently caress (DBs in Gears) or insanely unfun/frustrating (Prometheans in Halo).

It makes sense to poo poo exotics at us because they're all kind of garbage this time around.

Gone are the days when exotics were game changing funtimes gimmicks. Now they get one extremely limited perk. I assume this is another pvp decision to MAKE THE GAME COMPETITIVE!!! :byodood:

There's also multiple new types of cabal, it's not recycling just because it's the same setting and alien races. D2 has felt, at least initially, like D1 with most of the pain points removed and most of the fun bits beefed up.

Yeah but each Halo game had some actually new enemies with new models, etc. In Halo 4 there was a whole new faction.

Destiny was originally pitched as something that would expand and grow a lot - new planets, new races, etc. The scope and scale shrunk dramatically. I was hoping it'd expand with a sequel.

Uh you go to two new planets in like the first hour of play.

Who gives a poo poo about new enemies, they're all meaningless bullet sponges anyways. The last time they tried to make something new we ended up with the taken and their bullshit lag glitching.

Hey when I see "Increase reputation" and there is, a token I can use, say, with Failsafe. Is it safe to expend those there, or do they have other uses I may want to hold onto them for? (If anyone even knows, it's early...)
