Bought it when it first came out to continue playing with my friends who played from Destiny 1. It got old really quick. I didn’t really enjoy it as much as the first game and I was really confused by the lack of character building in game. It felt really directionless after finishing the main quest. And I learned pretty quick that I wasn’t attached to any of the in game characters the same way. So I quit playing after about a year. Never picked it back up.

Fiivemacs, do games w Sony Defends PS Plus Price Rises - IGN

I would like to welcome the many many many new PC players who will be abandoning consoles

almar_quigley,

lol, most ps owners don’t use ps plus and it’s not one of the highlights of the systems. Being able to play Spider-Man 2. Now that’s a highlight. They pump out amazing exclusives that far surpass anything from Xbox which keeps them very viable without ps plus being as competitive as gamepass is.

Brokkr,

The exclusives were how I used to justify a PS, but now that they are coming to PC after a year it makes that decision harder to justify. Particularly because they usually look better on PC and mods can be used, so as long as I can stand to wait I usually have a better experience on PC.

I’m not sure I’d buy another console.

just_change_it,

$2000 GPUs.

Cheesus,

Steam deck is a good reasonably priced alternative for people wanting to switch

BudgieMania, (edited )

The rough equivalent of the PS5 GPU (~40 CUs of RDNA2) is the RX6700 XT at ~300 dollars. Pricing has not been great but let's not exaggerate lol

Heratiki,

Wow my 5700 XT was $600 lol. God prices were garbage back in the day.

BudgieMania,

2019/2020 was a poor year from a price/longevity perspective, yeah. All of us who got a GPU around those days didn't necessarily get the best deal. I'm satisfied with what I got out of my 3060Ti but I feel that many wouldn't be.

I don't mention 2021 because, well, you know, it's not like you could even find one so

Heratiki,

Yup I still have that 5700XT and it’s perfectly capable for nearly every game I enjoy today. I haven’t seen a reason to upgrade just yet.

Rai,

I swiped a 3070ti for 400 and it wrecks the PS5 (not saying the PS5 is bad by any means!)

dan1101,

Yes you can pay that. But $300 gets you a very functional card. And you can upgrade your PC in increments.

Fiivemacs,

Or 1 year of ps plus max or whatever the hell bulkshit marketing terms they use.

I tried Destiny 2 when it went free to play with some friends and none of us had a clue what was going on. Just go do these missions with minimal story reasons or explanation.

We got through the first area and to the main hub but it just seemed boring. Played a bit more after that but saw no improvements in the second area when it came to missions or story. I’m not sure why someone new would ever play this game?

Callie,
@Callie@pawb.social avatar

Yeah it’s really weirdly paced for a new player. When I started playing, they threw me directly into a late story mission and I had no idea who people were or what was going on. To no one’s surprise, I experienced story events out of order and was spoiled by the game itself

Rai,

I got a free Destiny 2 preorder code with my video card. I played til max level. Then again for the first and second expansion. I thought “it feels like they’re holding anything actually substantive and QoL stuff back for the first big paid DLC not included in the expansion pass. If so, I quit.

so

never played again fuck that game.

Quick edit: IT LAUNCHED ON THE COMPUTER WITH NO TEXT OR VOICE CHAT

WHAT THE FUCK, YOU STUPID CUNTS

THEN ADDED IN, BUT OPT-IN INSTEAD OF OPT-OUT? DUMBASS FUCKING WANK SHITTERS I HATE YOU

If this ends up just being a Sea of Thieves ripoff, I’m gonna fucking lol

crawley,

I don’t know what else it could possibly be

slowjoe,

I couldn’t even get past the tutorial area during the beta, it was very tedious

Codilingus,

Having played in one of the first tests, it’s far from Sea of Thieves. 1 man controls the entire ship, opposed to a crew controlling 1 aspect of the ship at a time.

And it got boring very very fast.

@Zoboomafoo@lemmy.world avatar

I saw a little gameplay footage and it looked like just the sailing part of Black Flag, nothing else and no new features to make it more in depth.

How close am I?

Codilingus,

Actually really close, lol.

ArmoredThirteen,

Well you probably played before they had the “fun and engaging gameplay” dlc ready

Still doesn’t feel like Nintendo to make a direct successor to a console. But it wouldn’t be Nintendo if they don’t add some cool idea to it instead of a straight forward spec bump.

Nothing, the answer is nothing. Nothing has been solidly confirmed it’s all rumors

Porka_911,

Exactly, Nintendo are not Google and ‘unofficially’ feed leaks of their hardware.

TWeaK,

Yes but information can still get out. One of the XBox versions had people building dev kits for it before it was even released.

TWeaK, do games w Nintendo Switch 2: Everything We Know - IGN

This is like one of those websites where you look for the date of the new season of that show you like, and instead of actually giving you any useful information it waffles on and says a whole load of nothing with a line somewhere in the body of the text saying “we don’t actually know anything yet”.

Ah gaming journalism in the 2020s.

Everything we know so far about “product”

unfortunately we know nothing about “product” yet, but here’s an unfounded rumor and a fuzzy picture! Thanks for clicking on our garbage article and giving us as revenue!

variants,

Or when you look up on how to do something real quick there’s an article with like three paragraphs “In this game you can do this and you are here because you want to know how to do this, here in this article we are going to show you how to do this now watch this video because it might explain how to do this in this game that you want to know how to do”

Oh my god I hate those. Those are the real articles and places terrified for AI. they’re excited because they can write more bullshit with it. They should be terrified because AI is great at summarizing and I expect extensions that will summarize it down to a sentence

variants,

Oh yeah I love the little summarize bot for articles here on some lemmy instances to save a click

NocturnalMorning, do games w Skull and Bones Has Yet Another New Release Window

Is this bcz they found out nobody wants to play a black flag game without the black flag part? Trailer got a really poor reception so they tried to address the criticism?

Never was.

Xariphon, do games w Is Destiny 2 Still Worth Playing in 2023? - IGN

I'm torn, even now.

I was super hyped for Lightfall. And then it sucked. A lot. The writing was awful, the gameplay changes were worse, you've all heard it all before.

I want to like it. I used to, during Beyond Light. Witch Queen was kind of awesome.

I'll probably play Final Shape just to see how this storyline ends, but I'm more skeptical than hyped now.

After the SteamDeck debacle, hell no.

kftX,

And remember, at any moment can delete any content you paid for and it’ll be gone forever. These two things (the one you mentioned and mine) are why I always say: “Fuck Bungie”.

wccrawford, do games w Is Destiny 2 Still Worth Playing in 2023? - IGN

I’m a casual who put a lot of hours into the game, enjoying it over a few seasons. Then they decided that what the community wanted was more difficulty, even at the lowest levels, and it has ruined the game for me. I used to just fire it up and shoot my way through a bunch of stuff, having fun.

Now everything is a slog. I find myself having to get serious about getting through the most basic levels, instead of just running through it like a madman.

As a consequence, I now play no more than a couple hours a week, and I’ve even skipped weeks entirely lately.

You’d think this would resonate with someone, but I’ve heard nothing but complaints about this change. High-level, serious players aren’t in favor of it because it makes low-level content slow and boring, but doesn’t actually engage them any better than before. New players find it difficult when it should be teaching them the game. Mid-level players like myself get nothing from the increased difficulty, either.

And yet they persist, adding even more modes that strip the point of levels from the game, and homogenize all the content.

I’m hoping they smarten up next season, but I’m not real optimistic.

This is why I can’t play multiplayer games anymore, all of them have just focused on difficulty and grinding.

I was looking forward to Halo infinite for quite a while, but the multiplayer just is terrible for me. Halo 4 is probably the last one that I kind of enjoyed. And of course the first three were amazing. All I want is to start up multiplayer and and play against people roughly my skill level. I don’t want to grind, I don’t want to be work for everything, I’m a guy who got off work and has a few hours to unwind after the day.

The last thing I want to do after getting off work is have to be extremely frustrated because I’m struggling on an online game and I should be just relaxing. Kudos to everybody who does want the challenge, but games need modes that allow me just to slack off and have fun

I agree with the stuff the article says, from my knowledge. I quit when they sunset some of the expansions and planets, and even then the whole difficult to catch up meta was a thing, and the incredible levels of monetization were everywhere.

It's still the best feeling shooter I've ever played, but even that wasn't enough for me to wade through everything else. I couldn't just play and enjoy the game without being ripped out of my immersion by content I hadn't bought begging for it and FOMO based design decisions that kept me uncomfortable and rushing.

@bridge_too_close@kbin.social avatar

The sunsetting of some of the content pissed me the hell off. I bought Forsaken, and took a break before finishing it, so I paid for content that I won't be able to play. On top of that, the FOMO and pressure to buy the battle passes to play the new content just put me off.
