Man I miss destiny but I can’t play it cause Bungie are paranoid blaming the wrong group (Linux users) as hackers so blocked us from using it, and even if I could I wouldn’t play it out of principle because of what they’ve done to it. It still has the best shooting out of any game I’ve played, but the stuff you shoot at isn’t interesting anymore
Looked at the store, man how much do you have to spend to get the content? $100 for light fall and the battle pass, then $30 for Gjallahorn, then another $30 for some other dungeon and new supers and then $100 more for the new expansion. That’s $260, it’s cheaper to pay for Final Fantasy XIV monthly and get a $60 expansion for a year. That’s not including all the past dlc either
I think you and I played different games… Destiny is a great game! One of the best looter shooter ever made. The gameplay and lore is freaking great. The only issue to me is that there are 2 much content and the amount of time you need to dedicate for this game is huge.but when I was younger and responsibilities free I had a blast
Yeah, lotsa downvotes but D2 is great. The issue is the amount of paid content - every tiny little new mission, gun or area is a new expansion or season pass. I get that they need to feed the people creating the new stuff but it’s still like >$100 a year for you to play all the newest content when it comes out.
I usually skip the seasons because they’re basically the same mission on repeat with a little cutscene at the start and end. If you’re patient, you can get the DLCs for 1/3rd of the price and still have lots of fun with it. I even get cool cosmetics (in-game currency) and play endgame content with my clanmates so it’s definitely not pay2win.
I quit it because of sunsetting content. I love to know what I have in a game and that if I wanna stop and play other things for a few months or something that I can return and still play through that content.
As soon as they sunset entire planets and disallowed you from being able to play the campaign on your own time, relegating the entire thing to randomized heroic missions on a daily rotation, I just couldn't do it anymore and left. It's absolutely the worst FOMO implementation I've ever seen in a game and it fucking disgusts me.
I couldn't believe what a breath of fresh air it was to play through Borderlands 3 this year and just be able to know what the whole game was, what all the content was, and that I could play that content any time I wanted, forever, without any chance that it would simply disappear on me, after I'd already paid for it.
I meant that those systems were removed. Sunsetting is not in the game anymore, and planets have been slowly trickling back in with seasonal content and whatnot.
That seems a little better, but seasonal content must be paid for, right? Does that mean the content I paid for that's sunsetted id have to pay for again seasonally? And what about the campaign?
Seasonal content is $12 a season, sadly (really dumb too since Silver only can be bought in $10 or $15 packs) but campaigns and their respective content stays in the game. They also have overhauled practically every game mode aside from Gambit, and occasionally have free weekends for DLC. Overall, it’s better in some ways and worse in others.
It has great bones. The game is incredibly smooth, and the gunplay is fantastic. Their monetization is absolute trash, though. I absolutely despise their seasonal system, and they keep vaulting shit I’ve paid for.
Plus they keep changing the fucking minimum light! Twice since release, I think, they’ve basically reset me so that I’m functionally a brand new player with some neat level 1 exotics I now have to farm shit to keep fusing to level up.
And apparently you were right, as reported by Polygon (archive.ph/KcdoZ)
Update: San Francisco police told Polygon that officers responded to Unity’s San Francisco office “regarding a threats incident.” A “reporting party” told police that “an employee made a threat towards his employer using social media.” The employee that made the threat works in an office outside of California, according to the police statement.
Unity is done for. Nobody is going to start a new project with their product. Devs are risk adverse. Making a game that is original is already a big enough risk for any studio. Why add an infinite amount of risk but building your game on an engine with unstable management. It is even worth retraining people to use a different engine.
Pleasantly surprised by the list. Should appeal to a wide variety of gamers. I don’t mean offense to any devs, but MS was truly scraping the bottom of the barrel to find games for Games w/ Gold for the past few years.
Some odd choices, like having the sequels Dishonored 2, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Doom Eternal and Psychonauts 2 but not Dishonored 1, Ori and the Blind Forest, Doom (2016) and Psychonauts 1.
They haven’t raised the prices for Core thankfully unlike PlayStatiton, but I’m still probably not signing up for it. Money’s tight right now and the last thing I want is to pay for access to online gaming.
Yeah it’s been great building up a GWG library, especially the 360 games, but you’re right that most of the time it’s been underwhelming. For me this change is good.
Just watched a video about FaZe Clan. Used to be a relatable gaming group mostly on Call of Duty during the early rise of online gaming content— some of the first to use capture cards to record gameplay and upload raw footage or cut compilations on YouTube. Far as I understand people liked them because they were relatable but as the money started flowing they became highly corporate and influencer-like, getting streamer houses and stuff like that, and so people started noting a disconnect and stopped caring. FaZe has been clawing to stay relevant for a years now so it’s kind of interesting to see where they’ll go from here.
Tbh the only reason I’ve got an ounce of care about FaZe is because their CSGO team is pretty cool. The “clan” itself is just this weird baggage that comes with the name.
