Games Destiny 2

[Yeti_Hunter]

I played it for a couple of hours at launch last night, really enjoying it so far and suffering a bit in work today for it.

 

[X Knight]

I was tempted to pick it up, but I think I'll hold off for a sale later in the year.

though I did have a question about the subclasses.

from what I've read and understand, you are given access to only 1 subclass and it's the new subclass for each class. To get the other subclasses later on, you have to get some random drop item to trigger an event/quest to unlock the subclass.

My question is. with that initial subclass, are you forced to actually take that subclass or can you choose to not use it and wait till you unlock the other subclasses?

For example, if you're a Titan, the initial subclass is the new Sentinel subclass. So, at the beginning of the game, are you then forced to play as a Sentinel, since that's the only subclass you have access to? even if you may not want to be a Sentinel for role playing purposes or if you have no interest in that subclass?

 

[Iceman]

I'm very interested but I should finish the first game first!

 

[X Knight]

^ that may help, lol.

but it does sound like this new game is perfect for brand new players like myself.

and from everything that I've read, it does sound like it's the game Destiny should have been in the 1st place.

I'm just hesitant because I'm iffy on FPS and I prefer single player experiences.

 

[Iceman]

The visuals are great and I kind of like the comedy lol. Hope they've properly improved on the issues with the first game which had so much potential. I though it was gonna be THE big gaming franchise of this gen.

I thought Destiny would be the game that would keep me occupied for years. It took roughly a month until I developed actual hatred for it. Probably my fault for hyping it up in my mind so much. I still played it off an on, with months of breaks between each play session. With no other game do I have such a hate/love relationship. It has smooth gameplay and is a great co-op shooter, but so much potential was wasted.

 

[X Knight]

^ to both Iceman and Nathan.

I agree that Destiny had so much potential based on the original concept presented. but the actual execution frittered that potential away.

hopefully Destiny 2 can right the ship.

I know I'd be more interested in the whole series if it were developed by Bioware and if it were a full on story driven, 3rd person RPG with FULL class development. Seems like Bioware will be doing something similar with Anthem, which is why I'm more interested in that.

Massively wasted potential and I reckon a lot of people who were disappointed won't be coming back even if they fix everything. Getting it right first time (especially after the way they marketed it) was very important. But I'll certainly be giving it a go.

As long as it's not the ME:A Bioware team!

hah. true!!

So how is this thing playing so far, fools?

 

[X Knight]

speaking of Destiny 1, I am curious as to how your Destiny 1 character carries over?

Is there extra dialogue to acknowledge your accomplishments in Destiny 1?

is your Ghost in Destiny 2 the same Ghost you had in Destiny 1?

for someone who hasn't played Destiny 1, is it worth it at this point to play through the whole Destiny 1 before getting into Destiny 2?

I see the Destiny 1 Complete Collection on sale for like $30. so I was wondering if I should pick that up and play through it first before Destiny 2.

Characters are stored on Bungie's servers, so they just appear automatically but you also have the option to create a new one.

You get a little montage at the start showing your Destiny 1 accomplishments and there is tweaks to the dialogue depending if you are a new player or veteran.

The Ghost is the same but it's voiced by Nolan North this time round.

Imo I don't think it a necessity to have played Destiny 1 before playing the sequel. Unless you are into the lore side of things but there are youtube videos etc which can bring you up to speed.

thanks for the info.

who voiced the Ghost in the 1st game?

I know Peter Dinklage was the original actor, but he was replaced by someone else. Was that Nolan North, too?

Destiny 2’s Curse of Osiris DLC confirmed, Bungie responds to shader controversy

september 8,2017 24 comments






Yesterday, we touched on the controversy brewing in Destiny 2, where Bungie has begun selling one-use consumables dubbed shaders (akin to dyes) – items that were free in the original game. Now the studio’s responded to the criticism.
“Shaders are earned through gameplay: leveling, chests, engrams, vendors. We expect you’ll be flush w/ Shaders as you continue to play,” Bungie’s Luke Smith tweeted.


“When you reach level 20, Shaders will drop more often: vendor rewards, destination play and endgame activities. Shaders are now an ongoing reward for playing. Customization will inspire gameplay. Read more

Has a single article pointed out that the micro-transactions in Destiny are only for cosmetic items that don't actually have an impact on gameplay?

I'm not saying Activision would never do this. However, matchmaking in Destiny or Destiny 2 can't really operate like this because the micro-transactions that are available only allow you to get cosmetic items. IE, items like shaders, ships, cosmetic things. They don't change how you play the game. They don't alter your stats, just physical appearance of your skin.
