Do you really love them? Or are you just pointing out random objects and saying you love them?

I like things with scissors in them that don't cut. Like Scissor Lift or Scissor Sisters I can't really think of anything else right now but I'm sure the other things also rule

Body shaming is not accepted in the vex collective, is all about the hats.




I like all the Destiny artwork with tigers and wolves. They are shiny examples of some modern medieval where animals are totally in the right place next to you. They had wolves in iron lords expansion, but they where static, not too much love was put on them.

Theres a alternate dimension where Destiny 1 in venus had wild tigers that would sometimes attack the vex or attack guardians, or maybe be friendly to guardians and let them be pet.

so the takeaway from that interview is that Destiny 2 is a pizza that came out exactly how Bungie wanted it cooked, but Bungie is an org in total chaos and assembles pizza with a dough team and a cheese team that don't work together, and thus had no idea that cooking a pizza with just cheese and no tomato sauce isn't the right way to do things, especially when their goal is to make a tomato pie

also remember the interview with Lars where he was like “the crucible team kept saying that 4v4 would be bad but I really liked the idea so I pushed it through because you gotta break eggs to make an omelette”

what a disorganized mess of a studio, couldn’t even make none pizza with left beef

Heads really need to roll at bungie. So many of the horrible poo poo things about D2 are philosophical and built into its core that i don't even know if they can be changed.

I love Destiny but D2 is a bad Destiny game.

I generally try and keep an open mind and rise above the salt but that interviews confirms some really dumb suspicions that i had about the game.

Catering to casuals over your core base is a) greedy as gently caress and b) shortsighted as gently caress.

Ill still raid on the reg because its a social thing but theres little to no incentive to play outside of that because everything has been deemed worthless.

The best thing is they made the game centered around getting you to buy loot boxes for cosmetics but they made it so there was no incentive to play the endgame for more than 2 hours on one day of the week. Who the hell buys cosmetic items for a game they play less than 2 hours a week, if that

I’m not sure if I agree with this, games are expensive to develop and made to make money, not to cater to us nerds who play for thousands of hours.

Imo the problem isn’t that Bungie wanted to widen the player base, the problem is that they’re morons and their design philosophy to accomplish that is incompetent even for the stated purpose. Plenty of games more or less effectively appeal to casuals without losing their core identities, and honestly I like Destiny 2 - but Destiny 2 could’ve been a much better version of what it wants to be and isn’t because they aimed for and embraced mediocrity to avoid an embarrassing crash and burn like Destiny 1 on release.

See I don’t think it was primarily malicious, to me it seems like a combination of them playing it safe because of the PC launch and laughable incompetence.

Malice is obviously a part of it, looking at how Eververse panned out, but this screams stupidity to me, versus something like the Battlefront 2 debacle or how Call of Duty has been since AW.

Now, in the quantum moment

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.


The only malice I feel here at play was in the design sense, and only IF they had to quench our expectations following D1 to set the stage for something "better."

So far this does not really feel "better."

Or where "make landing shots less important"

Im fact why not just make a game where all you do is mash the game pad as fast as you can and the game does the rest.
