I hate that they make it sound, as if it’s an impossible issue to solve. It’s underperforming because new people can’t figure out what to do in the game, and veterans cannot find enough things to do. You can only play crucible for so long.
They clearly have the artists and the engineers to do this, but they put all of that effort into new cash shop skins, rather than game content
a lot of the end game content isn’t playable unless you have a guild that constantly grinds for it. And by guilds: these are guilds that are like 5 yrs old and you’re expecting these players to still want to hang around be content with grinding to bring in the newbies to the fold. Good luck with trying to find someone who is willing to teach as their interest wanes. Bungie tried enticing older guilds to teach new players with player banners to do guided runs. But that was a fail. No one has that kind of time on their hands.
Those dungeons are some of the most complicated ridiculous things I’ve ever had the displeasure of researching. Like just watching the YouTube tutorials on kings fall and how they had to speed it up and get nausea while they try to tell you all the keyhole attempts just to open the dungeon was enough for me to nope the fuck off from ever doing raids or dungeons.
And just doing companion apps to try to learn the dungeons was a fail.
games are supposed to be what you do for fun. It’s nothing but stress if one player, just one: fucks up, your whole team is wiped and you just lost the last hour or even two of play. Down the drain. You are just left with despair and hatred for your entire fireteam.
That is how it’s designed without apology.
They actually have players SAVING dungeon points on the companion app. That should tell you all you need to know about how unplayable that EGC actually is.
Does anyone else have a fuckton of raid banners because EGC is so overly fucking complicated and super costly to have your team wiped after an hour of play to the point that you cannot scrape together enough players that KWTD or want to grind to make it worthwhile?
Yeah. That’s why.
There’s only so much crucible a person can take. And trials oozes with player toxicity. Gambit was kinda fun at first but now it’s rife with balancing issues which the devs seem to have lost all interest in addressing… And for whatever reason the most recent clothing styles are hideous so even the aesthetics are not exactly grabbing attention.
It’s fucking ridiculous that CEO’s make decisions that make players dislike a game or product yet the workers are the ones getting laid off. I doubt any of the regular employees had a say in the shitty DLC decisions.
I always found it kinda sad that Destiny has a lot of lore, but if you are a new player / returning player you can’t experience the lore that you have missed because it’s just removed from the game.
In their defense, Destiny 2 did morph into a vast turd over its lifetime. Terrible story, terrible characters, repetitive gameplay, zero innovation. Gog is full of 15$ games with much more to offer than Destiny 2 ever had. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Now I will say that a game company maybe doesn’t need 1100 employees. That’s just intuitively oversized, at least to me.
That being said, I cannot imagine a substantial amount of money, that could trivially uphold those jobs, is being wasted on middle management positions which will not be part of these layoffs (of course, they never are), bonuses and C-suite yachts. Plus, the company had no game release sind 2017, maybe not performing too well financially is, well, expected? That is, certainly the wise CEO put significant sums of money from the highly successful early years of Destiny 2 aside to easily cushion the leaner years later instead of blowing it all on cocaine and hookers, right? Otherwise, why would someone keep that management around that cannot even do something as simple as cushioning money? Right? 😑
I hate how this never affects the people who are actually responsible for the losses. You never get the C’s sued to take the bonuses back they got blown up their arses. You never get all the excessive layers of middle management removed. No, they always let go of the actual workers, who could do fuck all to prevent it to begin with.
Slowly just buying games on pc so I can cut my dependence on the Playstation. Paying twice for internet is so dumb. The ps5 and switch will likely be my last consoles.
I refuse to accept $70 as the new norm as companies boast about record profits, while indulging in layoffs. All while the average consumer has less money than ever before to even buy them.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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
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
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.
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.
