I once wished I could be one of the contributors to these kinds of sights, finding stuff to be found and having some sort of semi-permanent impact on the community. But then I realized there is some 40 year old fat college dropout hyped up on caffeine that can do that WHILE jerking off to hentai. So why bother, someone else will figure this poo poo out and I'll look it up later.

Not to mention that there are now people who do this as a full-time job. And it's impossible to read any significant community forum while avoiding all mention of basics like "there's a hidden thing in this location". It's hard enough to stay blind for raids, the era where game secrets could become personal discoveries weeks or months after release is over (unless they're time-gated :troll:).

Funny enough though pretty much all of the ghosts I've ever found have been me stumbling upon them or someone else stumbling on them and pointing it out to me. And I have 100/130 of the dead ghosts needed, which are pretty much all on the crucible maps.

Those just take time now that private matches are an option. And some of the story bits you get are fun, I think the one with Shaxx and the children is on a crucible map.

Also the problem with KZSF was that it felt the need to build in input delay for some gawdawful reason.

That and the boring SP campaign. It doesn't have any real value now that the wow factor of being a high-tech launch title is gone.

poo poo, it autocorrected. ATHEON. The Atheon fight. Why no trigger, just an immediate start?

It was the first raid they ever shipped, that was one of the (many) mistakes they made and avoided later. I'm surprised they didn't correct it for AoT too.

Nah the if materia was always recognized as one of the best wrath guns. For PVE at least, don't think it works well in crucible. You can mag dump into a boss for a very, very long time with it.

Aksis isn't the only boss in the game, and he does seem to be the only one with the quirk that lets other weapons do so much damage.

When you finish a match and go back to orbit where it resets the matchmaking and says "we're breaking up those teams to find a better match" or whatever, is that where it moves you into a higher/lower skill bracket?

That's when the spread in the game was too high (but not high enough to trigger mercy). Your skill gets changed after every match and Bungie doesn't seem to use brackets.

There's a much longer video on reddit that makes it look less staged. It may be a 5- or 6-man fireteam but I don't think sword guy was secretly working with them.

Near as I can tell, the grenades bounced off each other in midair. His went wide, mine went into his face.


vvvvvvvv Yeah, I didn't want them to get shared to facebook like my normal tweets (which I never make any more anyway). 95% of the value of that game is screenshots.

They aren't going to bother porting over all that data and converting it to any new system, it'll dial you in after a few matches anyway.

I played you in pvp a couple of days ago!!! First time I've noticed a goon that I wasn't already playing with

Are you sinaddr? That name looked familiar.

Just squeaked under the wire with all 6 remaining crucible quests done. Now if I can only kill that loving deathsinger in under 2 minutes next week I'll have every book node outside the trials page.

Yeah it's never been about technical issues, the platform owners didn't want it to happen.

I'd rather they go for visual upgrades than 60fps on PS4, especially after seeing Horizon.

This is the first place on the internet that a post-Pro PS4 has been mentioned at all, FWIW.

(The long-term plan is indeed to shift to a phone-like model where you buy a faster variant of the same platform rather than a brand new one, but it hasn't even been half a year since the Pro so the next one is probably not going to be introduced for a good long while.)
