Not many first person shooters thrive outside Steam.

There is one FPS game that is not on Steam, but is breaking all kinds of records right now. It is called Overwatch, and it is on the same platform Destiny 2 is going to be on.

I don't necessarily like the decision, but it is a brilliant decision for Activision to do so.

 

[DVPredator85]

It's not 60 FPS. They would've said if it was.

Yeah.

So fucking bummed. Ugh.

 

[Compsiox]

Im fine with using battlenet I just wonder why? Does this save Activision money for PC servers or something?

Valve takes 30% of every sale.

 

[Nielm]

Seems like Destiny: Rehashed, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I had a lot of fun with the PvE in Destiny, especially the raids. A lot of new content and a ton of improvements means I will probably get it.

 

[Trace]

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.

Yea they said there's going to be side-quest style adventures in the world and dungeons to explore within patrol.

 

[cakely]

Ugh, battle.net is the worst!

Honestly, I think it's the best launcher on PC. Simple, rock-solid, bug-free and it includes party voice chat.

 

[BasedKiliK]

Where's the Switch version?!?

Dude, no. I love the Switch just as much as the next guy but this is a game that does not need to be on that system. No compromises.

 

[Gurrry]

Mmm not really feeling the Destiny "2" vibe... it looked more like an expansion to me... but we will have to wait and see, still going to play this.

Im really not sure what expansions youre getting that give you huge new land masses to discover, raids, abilities, a shit ton of new weapons and gear, story modes, adventures, LFG components, new strikes, open world exploration, dungeons, bosses, new game modes for pvp, new pvp maps, and more. Not to mention stuff they havent revealed yet.

If that sounds like a 15 dollar DLC to you... Im really not sure what to say.

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

The beta is only for those who pre-order the game?

 

[Gav47]

Pretty disappointing considering they've had so long to work on it with ROI only being a small expansion. All their megabombs were things I expected as a baseline for Destiny 2. What really hurts the most for me was Noseworthy saying the new patrol maps where twice as big as the old one when the rumor was that they were going to be bigger than all of the D1 patrol maps combined.

 

[Magwik]

It is weird they launch COD WW2 on Steam but not Destiny 2.

CoD on PC is sent to die
B.net guarantees more exposure and more control over the game itself. Less hoping Valve doesn't sit on their hands if a user does something shitty.

 

[Gator86]

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.

Because all criticism = haterz

 

[PooBone]

Hey now, we can't have too much content in the full game. Gotta sell those "expansions".

LOL right!? Buying a $60 game ensures you're either in for another $60+ or you'll be left in the cold.

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

Im really not sure what expansions youre getting that give you huge new land masses to discover, raids, abilities, a shit ton of new weapons and gear, story modes, adventures, LFG components, new strikes, open world exploration, dungeons, bosses, new game modes for pvp, new pvp maps, and more. Not to mention stuff they havent revealed yet.

I mean, that literally sounds like an MMO expansion. lol

 

[LTWood12]

I'm somewhat baffled by the response of people being surprised by this looking like a sequel to Destiny (it's a sequel to Destiny.)

 

[Quonny]

Literally all WoW expansions?

 

[Izuna]

This game is gunna be baller on PC

 

[madquills]

Massive 'meh' from me so far.

Like really? No vehicles, no crazy mp game modes, no proper flying, no sparrow updates, didn't look like any reeeeally authored mission stuff, no new races, no nothing.

And launching with one raid?

If the best thing from the reveal was a map and a decent fast travel system, that's not saying much.

The expansions of every mmo?

 

[Gurrry]

The expansions of every mmo?

I mean, that literally sounds like an MMO expansion. lol

You literally pay 15 dollars a MONTH for that. Not to mention, wow expansions are 60 bucks on TOP of your sub.

 

[cordy]

You know...

People upset at this just want the artist to sell out a bit and not completely appeal to their core who helped them reach their current level. Their core fanbase (25 million registered users), helped them nearly 1 billion dollars to the company. Those fans however had issues with the game. This however? It fixes those issues, to those core fans. No reason to not stick to their core fans and appeal to those who don't like the series. I mean it's only right since those fans stuck with them.

 

[Flying Toaster]

I feel like it is a more polished version of D1. I am cool with that because I absolutely love Destiny.

I am ready.

 

[Boke1879]

Biggest game of the year.

 

[Quonny]

You literally pay 15 dollars a MONTH for that. Not to mention, wow expansions are 60 bucks on TOP of your sub.

Okay, so rephrase your statement.

Gotta say, being disappointed because you saw an untrue rumor or leak that wasn't delivered on is kind of silly, no? Cause it wasn't something that was actually going to exist in the first place

 

[franklyshankly]

I can't believe that Reddit leak was actually real.

 

[Siege.exe]

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.

Can this please not be the standard level of discourse for three years. Again.

 

[serenewarfare]

Yeah, they talked about multiple different new overworld things. Like dungeons to find, treasure maps leading to valuable chests, side quests from characters you find in the world.

 

[geordiemp]

Trust me. The ones defending it are even funnier.

Btw I wasn't trolling I'm just disappointed. I guess it's my fault though, I expected something else, something closer to what they showed the very first time. To me this still feels gutted to the original "you can actually go there" concept.

If you want to wander around an empty open world and walk to a mountain, go play zelda.

Destiny is a shooter, fans want epic action and lots of enemies, new raids, new powers. We got that. Looks great.

 

[DNAbro]

Gaf is the same place that has a problem with Splatoon 2 being a sequel so I shouldn't be surprised.

 

[Rarius]

Destiny 2 really, really fucking needs the vehicle fun of Halo, and I'm really disappointed that they seem to have completely ignored that the game only has like, 3 of them, and all of them feel the same

 

[DeadlyVirus]

You literally pay 15 dollars a MONTH for that. Not to mention, wow expansions are 60 bucks on TOP of your sub.

Not a single WOW expansion was ever $60

 

[LiK]

I'm somewhat baffled by the response of people being surprised by this looking like a sequel to Destiny (it's a sequel to Destiny.)

No Vita support.

Spoiler

I have no idea

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Was anything regarding character creation mentioned? I better get my beards time xD

 

[Weebos]

Hope they reveal at least one new class at a later date.

I know they're just cosmetic in Destiny, but new playable races would also be welcome.

 

[ExVicis]

Gotta say, being disappointed because you saw an untrue rumor or leak that wasn't delivered on is kind of silly, no? Cause it wasn't something that was actually going to exist in the first place

Doesn't change actually wanting that sort of feature.

No Vita support.

I've totally played Destiny with Remote Play before, it totally has Vita support /s

 

[Complicated]

I'm somewhat baffled by the response of people being surprised by this looking like a sequel to Destiny (it's a sequel to Destiny.)

It looks like an expansion to Destiny. Maybe a sequel by Call of Duty standards.

 

[Nerd_Incognito]

Still seems like fireteams for non raids / pvp are limited to groups of 3. That SUCKS.

 

[Wanderer5]

*shrug* At least it seems like they are nicely improving on the foundation Destiny put forth. More of the same can be pretty nice in some regards. I glad the PC version exists, but I'll probably still pass, having possibly more than enough interests elsewhere heh.

 

[darkwing]

Biggest game of the year.

yup, there is no other , D1 was a beast and it didn't have the PC platform

 

[Gurrry]

Okay, so rephrase your statement.

Oh ok so they should charge a monthly fee and make you pay 60 bucks each time theres a new expansion out?

Alright!

 

[Velocity:Design:Comfort]

Massive 'meh' from me so far.

Like really? No vehicles, no crazy mp game modes, no proper flying, no sparrow updates, didn't look like any reeeeally authored mission stuff, no new races, no nothing.

And launching with one raid?

If the best thing from the reveal was a map and a decent fast travel system, that's not saying much.

There was a new tank

 

[Jest Chillin]

Literally all WoW expansions?

The MMORPG that has multiple dedicated server clusters and charges a monthly fee to the largest MMO playerbase in the world and has been for over 10 years?

Yup. Completely reasonable to expect the same amount of content to be produced.

 

[Plum]

that is what Guided Games are for

I missed that part, but saw that it was like a "digital Sherpa" or something? That doesn't seem like it'll allow those who literally had no experience with Destiny 1 to start joining the long-running clans of those who spent 1000s of hours in it. I mean, they talked big about "letting new players in" then proceeded to spout off line after line without any context for said new players, I just felt confused.

 

[Nestunt]

I did not play Destiny 1 because its structuring never felt like my type of game. Lots of buzzwords around world building but they looked like compartmentalized arenas.

Destiny 2 is not showing anything to get me on board.

 

[Nabbis]

You literally pay 15 dollars a MONTH for that. Not to mention, wow expansions are 60 bucks on TOP of your sub.

Yeah, well, WoW does a shitload more content than Destiny.

 

[Noisepurge]

4v4 seems weird. All pve play seemed 3 or 6 players. Now we gotta find a random fourth player in our Trials gang? :E

 

[Trey]

Now I need the technical details on the PC version. Hopefully an outlet has the news soon.

you'll probably get those details in the summer if the beta shows up on the PC version.

 

[GreyWind]

Did I miss the Hive, I haven't really seen them.

Here's the shot from the ViDoc

 

[LiK]

Was anything regarding character creation mentioned? I better get my beards time xD

Nothing.
