Yes #5 in a game no one plays and no one pays attention to anymore.

The only people that care about ranking are the spergs at the top of the ladder and the poor dumbasses that still play this stupid game and get dumped into a game against them.

So they got saves to work between PS4 and Windows, but not Xbox and Windows, the two platforms that can run the exact same binary if they put out a universal app?

Just Bungie things!

I'm still waiting for Xbox Live Videos to merge with OneDrive

You can do this, if you enjoy the feeling of pounding nails into your dick.

You have to trim and save the video in the editing app on the xbox itself, and when you export it has an option to save it to your onedrive. But it's not a default option so you have to click it every time. Also editing videos with a controller is complete poo poo. Also you're actually using two apps, one app to find the clip you want to save, and another to actually edit and publish it.

So if you're into excruciating pain you do it!!

Jesus Christ almighty. I'll just attach my USB drive overnight thanks.

Yeah, I click the download button in the Windows 10 xbox app. It's silly but at least it's effective.. once I got the file on my hard drive it's pretty easy to trim and get on imgur.

or you can use xboxdvr's imgur export, which is probably the gold standard of what microsoft should have done.

Unfortunately for them the "replace it every couple years model" that cell phones have gotten us used to comes with the unwritten agreement that the new phone you get is the most technologically advanced hardware available at that point in time.

So as long as console manufacturers are foisting systems with 5400 rpm laptop hard drives, why would anyone crack open their wallet for a few extra percentage points of processing power (to play games that still have to run properly on original hardware)?

gently caress 60 fps, give me a game that doesn't take 5 seconds to load my inventory or pull me out of the menus when loading a map.

And a higher tick rate so we can have better variety in effective weapon archetypes.

loving around with bros in sandbox worlds is some of the best fun you can have in a game. It doesn't last very long because it turns into a grind pretty quick but until you get to that point it's the best ever.

The problem with pure CBMM is that is that most games turn into an unfun stomp for the players that are merely average.

Certain people are just really good at games, while the majority are average or worse. and many matches end up being one shark or two in a pond full of sardines.

Yeah, it's fun for those really good players, but everyone else is hating it.

So the compromise is to make it unfun for everyone? That seems like poor decision making.

Only way I'd be okay with the current configuration is if red bars didn't top score every loving time. Neuter them and life would be tolerable.

Dedicated servers won't do poo poo to fix the lag. Glitchy fuckers playing on a 56k modem in Brazil will always be glitchy fuckers playing on a 56k modem in Brazil.

All dedicated servers might buy you is it's slightly easier to penalize laggy players so they aren't unstoppable murder machines. But this requires Bungie to actually admit it's even a problem.

All special weapons we had in D1 are now equipped in the heavy slot. It's how Bungie is "fixing" the shotgun warrior problem once and for all.

They seem to be adding "light" weapons to go in the old special slot, such as sidearms and an smg.

I heard the reason crucible is 4v4 only is because they were worried about matchmaking times on PC.. it'd take forever to find 12 players.

Frankly, I'd stick to playing PVP on PS4 anyways because I have little experience using KB+M and would likely get cleaned up trying to use a controller. Although I am thinking this would be the best time to switch to a XIM

Using a xim is nothing like kb&m in a PC shooter, especially for Destiny. The game has the slowest max turn rate of any FPS on any console and this naturally levels the playing field between controller and xim users.
