Why are they bringing back bounties? Aren't challenges that except without the step of talking to a robot?

bad news, no improvements to inventory/collection until september, which is the bare minimum to make me come back



for real, not having a giant inventory in an item collection game is the biggest crime this game commited

in vermintide 2 news, they just released a huge balance patch and there's DLC, mod support and dedicated servers coming this month

and it's half the asking price. and it was released last month. and it has zero in-game purchases.

I'm guessing he meant Collections, which hopefully means I can just pull a Nameless Midnight from the Blueprints or whatever when I need one.

Storage of nonrandom weapons is silly to begin with imho

that would be amazing but i'm really just pointing out that some tiny rear end studio in sweden is much, much better at making video games than bungie

like in the verge article they're quoted as saying "we're all hands on deck to bring this game back from the dead". this roadmap is literally bungie trying their hardest.

i mean, they could have just read the loving book to begin with. their basic system architecture is clearly so fundamentally broken that they need to scrap the whole thing and start over, but that would probably kill the studio at this point.

Alternatively, they call it the Go Fast update because when you play it you do a 360 and go fast in the other direction.

So if I'm reading right what they're saying is that the game will almost be where people expected it to be at launch one calendar year after it actually launched

Out of curiosity I went to check out the warframe thread and things have changed a lot since last I played


Last I checked it was basically dynasty warriors with guns and parkour, and now you can also jetpack around an open world zone and blow up giant monsters? Core gameplay is probably as floaty as it ever was but that's never bothered me when I'm running around at 80mph like Star Wars Kid on meth with a chainsaw.

However I've also put in an absurd amount of hours into that game so I'm okay with leaving it be.

Fuck the DH
Every single thing in the original January 31st roadmap that they marked in yellow as potentially being delayed was actually delayed, so I see no reason to expect exotic armor before September. I look forward to bringing back bounties; in a world where clans didn't exist, people without friends made progress by completing them for tokens for more gear. And it gave you incentive to do things like run Crucible events even if you weren't very good at them.

More relevant to this thread, however, I think it's really obvious that the PC client is forever a secondary priority now. The numbers that we've seen and all the usual places of community engagement that let you filter posts and requests by platform suggest this is a console game first and foremost, with a PC client that will continue to receive updates thanks to lobbying by Amnesty International. Throw in that Bungie isn't natively making the client but hiring another firm to port their assets, and I suspect any wish that is a hallmark of PC gaming multiplayer over Xbox Live style infrastructure (like dedicated servers) and any desire for something too elaborate to be done with eight face buttons and six triggers (like inventory loadout hotkeys) don't have a ghost of a chance of ever happening.
