It's timed for right when the yellow bar charges you. I love it!

(they use the Aksis music way too goddamn much in RoI though. I think they only have like 3 pieces of music for it?)

RoI is an extended exercise in stretching out salvaged leftovers from prior development (ATTN Waffle Guy: maybe a coded reference to the fallen, the main villains of RoI???? Further research needed), so that's not a surprise.

can one of the like ten normal PS4 players tell me the name of the normal PS4 clan? the one that isn't ironically or otherwise obsessed with a children's cgi movie

I'm in a clan with some irl friends which conveniently lets me avoid all that, join up on me a few times when the game goes live to see if you like them maybe?

Someone recommended to me a good headset for PS4 so I can call you a dumb rear end in a top hat when I get killed.

The PS branded gold ones are good, platinum if you wanna drop $$$ on a more durable band.

PS Gold headset is great. Don't believe any fat heads who say it breaks. Works on PC too.

I loved my PS gold but it did snap. Best headset I've ever had though so I splurged on the platinum to replace it.

You should get one of the flawless emblems the first time you zone in. The amount of salt from guys who got there legitimately paid for a carry in D1 would be incredible.

With less than a week until launch, I figured now is a good time to hop in this thread. The hype train is real, read the OP, just wondering what the preferred way to play with goons is. Some of my best times in D1 were playing with goons.

I'm on PS4, so my options Rad Dad Raid Brigade or BIG DUM SPACE MANS? Is there a preferred clan to join?

Honestly, what worked great for me in D1 was just adding a shitload of people from the thread to PSN friends. I knew and played with cool people from five or six different clans that way, and it opens up more "hey we need one more" chances.

Or, brace yourself for this, there could simply be options for different play styles.

There are. Every feature in D1 beyond raids and nightfalls supported solo play. Try to imagine doing Oryx in matchmaking. Hell, imagine doing any fight in KF in matchmaking.

Ahamkara either use the worms or access the darkness gods directly, they aren't the worms and they aren't the darkness gods.

Knowing this for sure relies on Bungie knowing what the darkness definitively is, which they don't, so who fuckin knows

I feel like they do and are going to slowly reintroduce the the concept after some distance.

They directly said they didn't, which would mean efforts to tie the worms or whatever would be pure retcons (not to say they won't do that):

You can change any of this at any time so don't stress about it. Most players eventually make one of each class, which lets you play as anything in the game.

Last I heard WiFi on PS4 is broke as gently caress and to connect directly to your modem if at all possible.

Unsure if they unfucked it.

This is over a LAN (powerline adapter, but still). It's really loving annoying though, since this was really the only evening I was going to be able to play until the 18th.

Ghaul is basically the antagonist of The Incredibles. He was, surprisingly, the thing I liked least about D2 in going through the campaign. Everything else has been really fun though. I got a nice high impact scout rifle with explosive rounds from zavala and it carried me through the last third of the game.

I snapped up the Nightshade from Zavala as it was my favorite kinetic gun in the beta and it didn't disappoint. How are the other two guns he offered? I think the auto was called Origin Story but I can't remember the name of scout rifle.

The scout rifle is loving great.

I think that one refers to a region chest. There are also icons for lost sectors, which go dark after you recover the chest from the sector.

Do these chests and sector chests respawn?

I did the tutorial one in EDZ a second time right after I dinged 20 before I went to bed last night.

Long answer: they mention him a few times but he's not a major factor of any kind, my guess is they're saving focus for the warmind expansion

There's also multiple new types of cabal, it's not recycling just because it's the same setting and alien races. D2 has felt, at least initially, like D1 with most of the pain points removed and most of the fun bits beefed up.

I thought it was a nice touch to have the music seamlessly shift to the theme of whatever expansion you were looking at in the adventure summary cards for returning players.

Just completed the story.

So the big 'half a game' DLC that's going to be about a year from now and be $60 usd despite being a DLC is going to have us fight the tremendous Avatar of Jizz, Gahul. I'mma be honest, of all the possible Destiny 2 outcomes, I did not see that.

Seriously, the boss is going to be a Servitor of Spunk.

A Massive Mountain of Man-Gravy.

And the filler enemies are going to be spoogified bizzaro-taken enemies.

If the DLC reward isn't a Hand Cannon, Sword, or Grenade Rifle called 'The Moneyshot,' then gently caress video gaming in general - and not in the fun, consensual way.

Is anyone else using scathelocke? I haven't played in a couple days, but I keep going back to it. It's just a very satisfying, effective gun.
