lol if you think a game developer from seattle who has and maintains a job slipped this in deliberately.


Bruh I live in such town, and furthermore Bungie is in Bellevue where such things are normal and hell, seattle has it's fair share of "libertarian" tech douchbros

Bellevue is only accessible from seattle within a reasonable time by two connected bridges across a lake and that side of the lake has been dragging rear end on mass transit across the lake for years, because ooohhhh scary black and brown people might go to the fancy downtown Bellevue mall like they do to the other malls.

borderlands was cool because i got a jakobs shotgun that shot slugs or something or had some ridiculously tight cone (cone joke) so i could snipe people with it. it could oneshot people across the entire distance of the dueling area, it was awesome. the rest of the game sucked.

If Anthony Burch really wrote for Destiny 2 that explains Failsafe which is basically robot Tiny Tina.

That also explains why my gross rear end friend had to tell me how he bets the voice actress for Failsafe is so hot and needs to see what she looks like.

I would really like to see some story content on their pre-Whirlwind golden age - maybe via Vex timetwisting. It would also be cool to see what other races would express as as guardians (Ghaul was a bit of a edit: missed opportunity in that context), but I got the impression that this was something the traveller hadn't tried before.

I'm actually having a lot of fun in PvP when I'm not teamed up against an entire clan.

Seriously Bungie what the gently caress, you've been making games for decades now, figure out some basic poo poo. Dump clans into their own queue or ban them from quickjoin completely.

I'm kind of surprised at how barebones the PVP experience is in general. I guess they're saving extra modes for content updates and DLCs.

I agree though, the lack of a pure solo queue really kills any motivation to spend more time in the Crucible.

Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.
I would be fine with no solo queue if there were larger games. But 4v4 means that even going up against a pair who are coordinated is enough to make things chancy.

I thought it was more that the vex observed religion and decided to make their own in one specific sect or whatever to see if they could become more powerful and in turn used the shard as a set piece as well. I thought that was cool as gently caress the way the vex are written.

Things could be going better

I am becoming increasingly convinced that the only reason why pulse rifles exist is so that bads that don't know how to compensate for vertical recoil can still get at least three shots in. Otherwise they seem to be lovely auto rifles at best. But by god the game thinks I need ten of them.

I like the graviton lance. It isn't amazing but it's fun to break out, but then it's basically a scout rifle, so...

I don't know but the vegetation on Nessus really makes it feel like a variation on that theme and poo poo I want some substantial Vex backstory already, it's really jarring how little we know about them now that we're getting all the Cabal exposition we could ever want

Nameless Midnight is a pretty drat good. I prefer it over the MIDA. I just use the MIDA because it has higher light.

yea I just finished the story on my Titan and still trying to get a good feel for what kinda guns I like beyond 'can I shoot steady with this'. I'm liking my current go of a rifle with a hand cannon and a sick rear end sniper rifle for my power weapon (though I have two swords for other elemental coverage and because swords fuckin rule).

To be honest I'm just mainly loving my flaming hammer titan that throws hammers that explode into pools of HOLY FIRE that I can use. I didn't expect Destiny to have a Paladin class but here we are.

this ties into the other problem: even if there was a gun that looked cool, if there's not a quest to get it, what the gently caress am i supposed to do? the gunsmith only gives me lovely suros elemental scouts and hawthorne's shotgun. the fact there's no way to acquire a gun that you want is absolutely mind-boggling to me. what am i supposed to if i keep getting SMGs? accept the fact i'll never damage an enemy more than four feet away?

Don't forget that of all the enemies you fight in D1 and every one of it's expansions, the most powerful are still the Gorgons in VOG, who could simply redefine you as never having existed
