Why does literally every game have the fastest travel method be some convoluted process that involves a ton of extra button pressing?

Because the spergs that discover these tricks vastly outnumber the programmers that make the code and think they covered all the edge cases.

Revive game modes are dumb, show us some control or clash Bungie.

The map on display says to me Bungie has been playing a lot of Overwatch too, which I'm kind of meh on.

Titan fashion has always been pretty sketchy. If you want to look like a badass you typically end up using bits and pieces from different sources.. I think only the IB sets have looked good when "complete."

Bungie seems to struggle with their aesthetic. You keep seeing hints they want to go down the world of warcraft HUGE SHOULDERS road but never commit fully to it.

Not sure how they could gently caress it up as titans are basically spartans from Halo, and they had no problems making badass tanky armor for Reach.

Hunters look like poo poo, just a bunch of cunts stuck in gas masks and draped in retard curtains. IB Y2 and Snow Angel are their only true escape from being fashion victims.

you shut your drat mouth, hunters are rad.



though I do agree titans are the master race, in certain configurations.

Bungie going after esports again seems like a bad idea as it was a giant tire fire when they attempted it in Halo.. it basically chased off everyone who played the game for fun because there was no way to escape the competitive setup.

the halo franchise were like the first console shooters that was actually competitive so idek what you're talking about. tons of people played halo casually.

Because the Halo series turned into "battle rifle: the game" once MLG spergs decided it was the One True Gun(tm).

Either everyone who was recording game play is really bad at the game, or TTK is way up too.

Not sure how that will play out, I like the idea of more team shooting because solo heroes is a big issue with D1, but I also don't like the idea of people being able to run away and get health back too easily.


I do like the idea of adding some shield/damage matching to crucible though. Hopefully those guns help taking down other things, like the deployable cover toys.

xzzy
Mar 5, 2009

Bungie loves their RNG and I can't see them removing the damage type from RNG completely.

Unless maybe they tie it into the weapon modification feature that we know nothing about yet. Like a gun drops as solar, but with the right consumable you can convert it to arc or whatever.

I think the idea of tapping someone with a high impact and swapping to a sidearm or something spammy to finish them off is an interesting play mechanic to promote too. Every video I've seen of people trying to 1v1 with the pulse rifle ends in tragedy while tagging them at range then closing the gap to finish the kill is really effective.

Obviously you can't make too many conclusions about the state of pvp at this point as no one knew what they were doing, but until the beta is out this summer it's all we got.

SpaceGoku posted:

From a lot of the videos it looks like the time before you begin to recover health is pretty long but that could just be the specific loadouts/subclasses I've seen in recordings.

My interpretation is that Bungie wants the recovery stat to actually matter this time. But figuring that out will probably have to wait until September.

Everything that can OHK is in the power slot now.

Though I suppose a minigun doesn't technically one hit kill, but its TTK is still going to be pretty unbeatable.

I think they didn't make them a chatter box to cut down conversation times.

No, it's purely a cost/benefit decision. It means they don't have to pay voice actors for 6 variants of every piece of dialog, and force people to download more audio files every time a new story mission releases.

Obviously the disk requirements for 9 copies of wav files covering 2 minutes of audio isn't going to be that big a deal, but I'm sure it was part of Bungie's conversation.

That's pretty much it from what it looks like.

Two of the planets were already IN Destiny Vanilla too before everything was cut into pieces. European Dead Zone and Mercury (Which is now ios)

Bungie really doubling down on DLC, not only do they make you pay for content that's already on the disc, they make you buy a whole new game to get it!!!

Launchers are stupid because everyone feels obligated that they stay running in the background 24/7 just in case I need to start up a game RIGHT THIS SECOND.

Steam is the worst of the bunch because you can't go three days without the fucker prompting you to restart it for an update.

Why can't they use a download app to get the game on my computer, and if they need to phone home, do it when I launch a game? :iiam:
