Ohhh God!!
Please no!
Thats the last thing we need. We just got away from ps3/360, now we are bringing in the switch?
No compromises hopefully.
If switch wants Destiny 1 though, thats cool.
I must say that, as someone whose never played Destiny past the demo, I had no idea what half the terms in that reveal meant. I doubt I'll buy Destiny 2 not because I think it'll be a bad game but because I never feel right getting into such massive MMO-like series far after their community's been established; whilst everyone will be rejoining whoever they played D1 with I'll be some low-level 'noob' still figuring out what a Strike is.

I think it looks like a reboot of Destiny 1, down to the UI, weapons and armor being more or less exactly the same. This is what the first game should have been - and it'll most likely be good - but it looks like a step in the right direction instead of a leap forward.
Wow, all those rumors were true. Destiny 2 looks great. Really glad to see the focus on a cinematic story. The opening level was awesome, and I like that it actually looks a bit different graphically.
My one concern is that the playspaces won't be that open. EDZ on Earth looks great, but how much of that is just skyboxes versus actual playable spaces? I want less tight, dark corridors, and more big, open explorable spaces.
Yeah, for sure. It speaks volumes that some basic features (like a map and a story) are some of the best improvements to the game.

My thoughts exactly - it seems really 'safe'.
QOL changes are nice, but lets be honest, most of them could of / should of been in D1 at least from the point of gen 7 switch off, if not before.
they never said it's separate , just 4v4 for all is the biggest change

To reiterate for the fast moving thread, content concerns were kind of alleviated by the leaker.
He said the story is around 10-15 hours and there's a ton more post game content than D1.

Pretty good presentation.
The game seems okay. A pretty safe sequel but with some very welcome changes.
Didn't really see anything mind-blowing and aside from PC only gamers I saw little to get those that haven't played so far interested in it.
But as someone who enjoyed the original except for some major flaws (lackluster campaign and not being able to play some content because I didn't have a big team), this seems to fix most of what I disliked about the original. So I'll be picking this up for sure.
Still, I think this could have worked as a $60 expansion or something like that. Feels kinda dissapointing to leave everything behind since it doesn't seem to bring major changes to the formula or style.

Acticision dirsnt wanna give Valve that %30 cut. And that's fine, since they hardly deserve it.

I think my biggest problem is this looks like a natural extension of the first game almost worryingly so. Maybe I expected too much but no 60fps, end game stuff is basically the same from what we know and even the UI is barely altered. I'm still gonna get it day one, I'm excited for the weapon system and FINALLY having European Dead zone out of PVP but man... I just don't get why they refuse to target 60 frames for a game like this on console.

Could someone explain me how matchmaking will work this time?
I've struggled to finish Destiny 1 cause there was no matchamaking. People used to tell me "just pop in a thread and ask for a help, you will find someone pretty fast" and I used to stand in the game hub (that city I forgot the name) for hours trying to find someone.
The game plays good. But playing alone is shitty and I don't want to struggle to find people to play with again.

I missed the later half of the reveal, did they talk about anything regarding a "overworld" or whatever? Larger areas, more stuff to explore/discover? It was one of my bigger disappointments when I first tried Destiny 1, the open worlds was quite small and corridory, only consisted of going from point A to B and shoot dudes along the way. Really wanted to walk around and discover the history of the world.
that is what Guided Games are for

I can do it in two sentences:
Bungie has created a marginally better version of Destiny.
It's clearly a cash-grab that will make millions of dollars.

Bright side is graphics wise this may run native 4k on pro. Because it doesn't look that impressive....
Expected more than the same number of planets as last time.
Expected a true open world with quest givers scattered about...
Expected a more dramatic difference in visuals (either 60 fps or a big improvement at 30 fps)
One raid?
Here's hoping Destiny 2 doesn't have the content issues the first game had at launch.
Hey now, we can't have too much content in the full game. Gotta sell those "expansions".

They were saying that the EDZ is twice as big as any playspace they ever designed for D1, so the new areas seem pretty sizeable.
There's nothing to defend. D1 has 400k-500k log on's a week still. On a 3 year old base game with no PC installation base.
Destiny 2 is going to be huge, haters or not. The only thing one can hope is that it does enough to bring in new fans.

Safe is the right word.
yeah, I just completely forgot that Activison-Blizzard is a thing for a minute, makes sense.

Damn
My thoughts exactly. RDR2, Mario, Battlefront 2, etc. Hell, this year's COD will be the first one I've bought in a long time too.

Upscaling is a word that gets thrown around too much. I bet it's like 1800p checkboarded and locked 30 which would be a lot better than D1, taking into account the improved FX and environments
Yup. It sucks. I haven't played a 30 fps shooter since Destiny 1, and it's been nice...
I said this earlier, but it really doesn't look good enough to be sub-60.

I liked that part where they show a location that looks like it would be in a RPG with people and everything and where they then explained there would be extra/optional quests and things to do. That did look good.
If they bring that and on top of that new stuff with updates it's probably going to be what the first one should have been like. Probably going to be worth it for me.

Say what you will about the game not being on Steam. But if they were to use any client. I'm glad that it's Battle.net. Blizzard has a very good client. I can't think of a bad time that I've had while playing Overwatch on PC. The only issue with B.net is that you get charged taxes on purchases.

CoD sales like shit on PC, Destiny WILL do phenomenal. So putting it on Battle.net will not only allow them to make 100% of the prophet, but allow all the players of other Blizzard games to see Destiny's icon right there with their other games. Its an exposure/profit thing.
That's what they're intended to be for.
That most assuredly will not be what their use is. It'll be to fill out a final spot in a raid just so they have another body.
