Destiny 2, unlike the first game which is trash, is actually good, except for the raid apparently, which is bad

Mmos are at least slightly better than mobas because you get to play pretty princess and also people are usually slightly less assholes.

Nah dude. They added a campaign with a coherent story and fun level design, along with making strikes really fun and worth playing. It's good imo.

Dota 2 makes literally all its money from people buying cosmetics that do nothing in gameplay but make you look nice/stupid.

Don't agree with the rear end in a top hat part though. Randoms in MMOs can be pretty loving toxic. Back when I played GW1 I was a healer and pretty much anytime a group wiped I got tons of poo poo from people in it.

Heat Signature is... good.

The lower-difficulty missions are basically just a better, more tactical Hotline Miami but then later on you have to start using cool gadgets to overcome obstacles and it's megatons of fun

it's great because it's completely designed for filthy casuals and it's amazing seeing people say that it's a mark against the game that you don't have to play it for 10 hours a day just to stay relevant

nah not really, for one raids are balanced around equipment cause if you don't come in with at least a certain level of gear you just get blown the gently caress up. so before they spent 20 hours streaming this thing they spent 2 weeks of their life grinding other poo poo to be "raid ready"


this is disingenuous af my dude, i've only had the game 2 weeks and play 1-2 hours a day, several days i haven't played at all, and i'm "raid ready"

destiny 1 was an insane grind for broke brains but d2 really is not

Like holy poo poo it took me 20 tries to beat the blimp boss but the feeling of accomplishment you get is great. It's a "oh poo poo I hosed up" and not a "this game is loving cheating" kind of difficulty.

This is coming from someone who hates difficult poo poo, the whole thing is just charming as hell, granted I'm still on the first island.

So what’ll you do in the game now? PvP? Raid more? What’s fun about the game for you now that you’re reaching the end game?
