Having finished the singleplayer stuff, yep, it's Destiny. I'm still probably getting the pc version but I might wait a bit because the classes don't feel as good to me, at least as a Titan.

quote:

My only problem with Shoulder Charge is that I'm gay (in the bad, idiot trash way) and sometimes either whiff it or wing them in the shoulder and I somehow can't turn around fast enough with my garbage sensitivity to get the follow-up punch and get punched to death.

Just about all I did in the Crucible in 1 was shoulder charge everywhere and occasionally take a potshot with a shotgun. :v:

I mean I know it's a beta and all but pvp just feels bad. I feel like I barely use my powers or abilities at all, shoulder charge feels weak as gently caress, the fist is pretty blah, and the barricades are okay I guess. SBMM is awful though. The gunplay's still good at least. The pve was fun so I'll get it just for that again but half the fun was the pvp and pve interconnectivity.

Astoundingly Ugly Baby posted:

One time in D1 I killed the whole opposing team with a single Fist of Havoc after they huddled inside a Defender's bubble. I don't think that it will feel like such an accomplishment with 4v4 matches with shittier supers.

I bounced off a defender's bubble with it once, somehow. :v:

I still like the implication that the Cabal had to get past all of Rasputin's reactivated defenses that the Cabal spent a game bitching about to go own the Last City, so either Rasputin got turbofucked again or Rasputin decided it wasn't worth the effort.

My brother's buying a ps4 so I'm back on consoles. :toot:


quote:

I think that if they're going to move so many weapons to the power weapon slot and allow only one person to benefit from collecting ammo, they need to put way more of them around maps on different cooldown timers so there's more diversity to engagements and interesting stuff happening. They need to do something to compensate for less abilities/supers etc. going off, and even Halo had power weapons spread out everywhere to keep things exciting. That recent survival mode reveal with one power weapon pack in the middle looked so boring, everyone was doing exactly what you described.

I get that shotguns dominated a lot in pvp on Destiny 1 but boy it sure sucks having them as a power weapon and shoulder charge being a lame cooldown because half the fun of being a striker was just bullrushing everywhere and punching aliens in the dinkles.

Who the gently caress designed the map that has one team spawn in a trench and the other team spawn above the trench and had that be a Supremacy map. The team in the trench never even changes.

Javelin-4's good though.

I stopped after four crucible games (2 for 4 at level 3 against level 10s and 1.5 k/d avg isn't bad after all :v:), how many games do you need to play for Shaxx's weekly challenge thing?

pvp ignores light level (except for some modes like trials) and just goes off the base stats.

Does armor level or resilience level actually matter now? At my low level I could barely do damage with my punches, and my magnetic grenade couldn't even kill when stuck.
