Tell your friends they have bad taste and Destiny 2 is a bad game they will get bored with immediately, based on what I've read/heard.

What's the objectionable content? I'm just curious as the DR3 ending sounds hilarious so I'm wondering if fans are pissed because it's a "gently caress you" or just a general "gently caress off with that poo poo"/



what follows is a minigame where you have to bat away the hands trying to grope the girl, it's a metaphor for the character being sexually abused by an adult but is presented as fun fan service

well he tried that on dishonored 1 and prey but it turns out making incredibly good videogames that sell like garbage instead of mass market fpses doesn't pay the bills

it's the same as Destiny only now it's a dead IP that EA killed just to appeal to filthy casuals who only want to play the game an hour or two a day for the next 6 months or year, unlike the incredibly epic Destiny 1 where if you didn't play 8 hours a day you'd forever suck and look stupid

also the PvP is better, well, it's different, most people in the D2 thread seem to prefer D1's PvP, but i'm liking D2's way more, to the point where it's what i mostly play

it's got a pretty strong dressup game too, here's my space wizard (a couple weeks ago, i actually look even prettier now):

I think i'm just going to wait a month and pick it up for $20, because Bethesda loves doing insanely deep price cuts shortly after launch for no reason.

If the dressup game were truly strong you'd only have to unlock the colors once and then you'd be able to use them whenever you like, or just straight up have them from the start.

Guild Wars 2 at least does that, though they seem to have forgotten how to design armor and outfits that don't look like poo poo.

I enjoyed it but was done with it after like 2 weeks. It's generally an improvement from Destiny but it feels like it has much lower staying power, for whatever reason. Also loot boxes ruined shaders.

mostly it's because they market every game they publish outside their own in-house stuff like complete garbage

Even one person pissy about it is too many, obviously. Just saying that this is a smart marketing move for Bethesda and half the people mad about it will probably buy it anyways because they probably care more about video games than ideology anyways lol
