Game good, game fun, that's my detailed review.

Hoping they start selling absurdly ostentatious auras, sparrows and ships on eververse so I can assert dominance in pvp with :20bux:

Frame rate feels a bit smoother to me than beta? Ps4pro here.

New scuf arrives tonight :neckbeard: hard mapping scoreboard to the fourth paddle so I can compare my score to Javes at all times.

You can also murderize the last boss if you stack triple arc supers and just pound his poo poo down when arc burn comes online. Skips basically the entire final portion of the fight.

That's an old pic from beta I think.

Anyway, Better Devils loving owns. It's the first hand cannon I've picked up that felt right, every other one has felt off in one way or another.

Sounds awesome, seems to actually shoot bullets where I point them, explosive rounds mean non crits in pve are worth a poo poo (leveraging the solid hipfire accuracy better than non explosive hcs).

Probably trash in pvp again, but I'll try it later :eng99:

I have another Suros HC that's also extremely stable and accurate, but my feeling so far is HCs are just badly outclassed due to the range band they operate in. Laser accurate 450rpm ARs at close-mid and Mida everywhere at long range, plus the handful of people running Lincoln Green or its equivalents.

Regardless, if you stumble across this, put down your Nameless Midnight for a few minutes and blast some aliens with it.

Hi I'm back playing this terrible game again.

Pubbies still real bad at pvp, came off a year long break and a break in my thumb and killed lots. If you aren't playing this game with a super scuf, bone elite or m/kb you doin it wrong.

Looking forward to random loot from Destiny 2: Bungie has Forsaken Destiny 2 for Destiny 1.

Or alternately, Destiny 2: Cayde-6 died for Bungie's sins.

Looking at Curse of Osiris from a first time experience like 'this is just a small destination planet with a few quests and some Vex to shoot', Curse is ok

Looking at it as the first 'expansion' after the D2 launch, man people must have been loving pissed :v:

Why is it stupid? I don't understand. Tokens were always dumb. Why am I finding Chuck E Cheese coins in the forgotten chest of an ancient space temple? Are they candy medallions the wascally Fallen stole from Devrim's fridge? They should have always been mats.

And making specific planet mats needed for upgrades gives people a reason to go to every planet once in a while and keeps them populated. Needing to go to certain places for certain mats is standard for every RPG/RPG-ish game and even if they're not making a full on crafting system, it's good the mats are actually needed for something other than just dumping into a talking slot machine.

Tokens were always dumb for anything but maybe events like IB or crucible and I'm glad they're being dumped

It's not the token part at all, don't care about those, it's exactly the forcing people to planets to farm spinmetal part that we were talking about

Fun Things in Destiny:

[X] Shooting Dudes
[X] Shootin More Dudes
[ ] Harvesting Spinmetal in an efficient loop to power up your gun so you can shoot dudes

Now if they're smart and give you bundles of planetary materials for doing other stuff on that planet (pvp/strikes set on that planet), or let you exchange some other resource for them (glitter etc), cool.

Bungie, being smart, will surely include some such method.

One of the most stylish and powerful weapons in the game for a brief time

It was ludicrously powerful in pvp before they nerfed it, look up some old vids on YouTube to witness the hilarity of a 3sk full auto weapon

Also magnificent was Pocket Infinity, a full auto fusion rifle that restored ammo on misses

D1 pvp veered from one broken gun to the next, it was grand

pvp is good and fun again

SBMM is poo poo, was poo poo, will always be poo poo, is eternally and forever the dumbest loving poo poo

Getting matched against players from Japan, good job Bungie.

CBMM only, ever

Some games you're a monster, some games you get poo poo on. Sometimes you're up against team stacks, sometimes you're up against lemmings with controllers. But your shots register. And you can have a good time while relaxing or tryharding.

I'm fine with SBMM in explicitly sweaty playlists, gently caress I'll even take it in IB, but keep it the gently caress out of my quickplay when I just want to dick off with stupid builds and play with my friends, not quaff a fine flagon of loving mountain redmonster spiked with adderall Every loving Match.

That's my Reddit post for the day. Bring on Forsaken, new perks on weapons and guns are awesome, hunting perfect guns is awesome, building broken pvp setups is awesome.

As someone that really had to talk myself into getting forsaken mainly because of the bow... I now totally regret my purchase. Infusing into my favorite costume was literally my favorite part of destiny 2 and one of the primary reasons I was playing. I can't believe I just blew 70 dollars on forsaken and the year 2 annual pass just for them to !@#$ something like this up again. Its like they don't know how to leave well enough alone! They fix a handful of things and then break or mess up 20 things that were working fine and didn't need to be touched! The amount of shards and planetary resource requirements were ditched when d2 launched for a reason! No one liked the way it worked in d1 with going around and getting planetary resources, thats why it was removed. Also, the amount of shards to infuse is straight up crazy now. Seriously devs, at least release a freaking costume system if you are going to jack up the cost of infusions this much! (I haven't played forsaken yet by the way in case they patched this I am going off of the pre release inventory adjustment patch)

Let's discuss how there's no discount on Forsaken or the Annual Pass for people that own D2 plus the first two expansions. I'd like to play Forsaken, but I'm not paying full price after already paying full price for all year one content, and year one was largely a disappointment and Bungie knows that. poo poo, I don't think it's too much to ask for a $10-$20 discount for players that supported D2 for what was mostly a miserable year one. Sorry but I'm just not doing it. Hope you all enjoy Forsaken. I'll jump in when it's on sale.

I suppose i'm the only one whose less than thrilled (to put it mildly) about suddenly having my guns shifted around and having to completely alter my play-style. I'm pretty salty at having my game randomly move backwards. Bounties that have to be picked up rather than be always available, grinding for planetary materials, and not being able to use the guns I'd used for the entire 1st year of destiny 2. speaking as someone who actually liked D2 for what it was, i'm really disappointed.

My rush melee in pvp REAL FUKKEN BAD

I have no idea why. It's not lag (much, rare teleporting duder on the other team, nbd). I'm just loving whiffing hard with shoulder charges and sentinel/striker bashes.

Normal melee seems ok, but jesus gently caress, I shoulder charged through multiple people over the last several nights.

Wonder how IB will be. Wonder if 540-550 light will let you two tap people with a 110 HC.

Been sitting on a stable of extremely well rolled fusions for them to fix fusion scavenger - they did, 3 bolts per brick is heaven.

If you're a veteran fusion user from D1, dig out those scavenger mods and give them a try again, the casual shotgun apes have absolutely no idea how to handle a weapon that can kill them if they blindly rush you, special ammo is basically endless, and you can kill any primary at short-medium range (conveniently where all the luna/trust users are sitting).

Only took a few games for people to start pulling out fusions to... counter? annoy? revenge? me (I don't get this, and they were real bad with them :shrug:)

Ignoring Telesto (which is probably still what I'll use most of the time in comp), a very well rolled Erentil or Main Ingredient can do some work. Backup Plan is the primo perk but there are several others that are really nice - under pressure, high impact reserves, tap the trigger, moving target, and quickdraw if you don't have backup plan.

You want Liquid Coils and/or high impact reserves to get consistent 4/5 bolt kills (Erentil/MI respectively). Interestingly Charge Time masterwork does not seem to affect damage, but I'm not certain that's true if you pass certain CT thresholds, I haven't fully masterworked the one I have CT on.

I favor Icarus Grip for aerial zaps, but I can see the argument for targeting adjuster or counterbalance, the impact of those is probably pretty minor, I have a hard time noticing more than icarus anyway. I did put a Freehand on a ridiculous hipfire Proelium, but that's mostly a gimmick, even with every accuracy/stability hipfire mod it's too many bolts to kill with no aim assist if you hipfire it. Not bad with a quickdraw primary though.

One last thing I want to try is Merciless with the catalyst, but I haven't unlocked it fully yet. I doubt it'll compete with Telesto, but may as well test it.



TLDR: Use a good sidearm or shotgun, they're easier to use, sidearms won't leave green bricks and counter shotguns fine, chaperone is amazing and you can use it with your luna/NF.
