Destiny 2 won't be on Steam but Blizzard launcher instead.
Destiny 2 PC Launching Oct 24 / BETA: July 21-23 on consoles, late August PC
- Thread starter Strakt
- Start date
Probably to move the launch farther away from the weekend and the inevitable server meltdown.

that's been known for a while
It kinda sucks that console players will probably have the raid on farm by the time PC players are even able to make characters.
I don't mind PC delays usually, but I think Destiny shares a lot of similarities with MMOs that make me feel differently about this, esp. in the contex of the community discovering content together.
Still, October is more than reasonable if the port holds up.

Where is my mini Cayde WoW pet and free Cayde-6 Heroes of the Storm unlock? LOL I mean I'm slightly disappointed that they didn't take advantage of it being in the bliz launcher more. Maybe they will toss those up on the preorder page later. Aw hell now I want a Cayde-6 announcer pack for HotS!

I imagine Blizzard is trying to keep Destiny fairly separate from everything else. It's not a Blizzard game, it's just piggybacking on the Blizzard launcher so they can utilize Blizzard's online store and infrastructure.

Preordered on PC! Don't mind the wait at all the PC version. Luke Smith even said they will do their "best" to keep everyone together as a community by the time the PC version launches too (was in that Geoff interview).
Also, will be worth it for that 60+ frames alone.
Really interested in his Blizzcon comment, however. Pretty sure it means nothing, but I wonder also if Destiny will have some sort of presence at it this year?

Isn't PC bug testing harder because of all the potential hardware configurations they have to account for?
And they're probably adding stuff like mousekeyboard optimization and manual graphical tweaks that they'll need to test for to make sure they don't break the textures or cause Vsync issues or stuff like that.
And at the end of he day, it's a 1.5 month delay. I was expecting WAY worse when they announced the pc version would be delayed, like next year.
If it's only 5 weeks, why would they not do a simultaneous launch?
Am I supposed to ask my console-owning friends to wait before they start playing?
I was already put off by this being an "MMO" with raids and the like, instead of a single player/co-op FPS, but everyone I know that played the original on consoles insists that it's really good.

What are they waiting for?
I know right? Nearly two months...
Plus, the beta is console exclusive which is fucking bullshit.

There will be a PC beta in late August, Luke Smith did confirm that on the live stream.
Passing on Destiny 2 entirely. A 1.6 month delay is bogus, everything will have been spoiled by then and everyone double dipping after playing it for more than a month will have a huge advantage. Also, the poor release date is about the time all the big releases are coming this fall/winter. Not too many games are scheduled for September (well I can hardly wait for Cuphead but still)...
Okay cool. Still not feeling the delayed release because of spoilers from the community.
Interview with PC gamer

With the PC version coming after the console version, theres the risk of other players on other formats spilling all the raid secrets before we have a chance to go in blind. Is that something youre thinking about?
That is something that is a non-trivial amount of pain to me as a player. But its also, in this case, sort of a necessary pain. We want the PC build and the PC version of the game to get all the time it needs to be a thing that we are, as Bungie, excited to ship. And that means taking the time to get it right and, unfortunately, to take the hit onyou lose some of the zeitgeist and that sort of emotional momentum. I will say we will be working tirelessly to unify those two communities as quickly as possible.

How does Destiny 2 releasing 7 weeks later mean you're going to play a game that doesn't come out for a whole year instead?

Was it just me or does the graphic style look a bit different?
Rofl wat a shit post. A game that has 3 minutes (It looks amazing btw) of scripted gameplay that will most likely be delayed until late 2018/2019 that we know VERY little about vs a game that actually comes out in sept and oct

Uhhhhh.... so you're gonna wait for a game to release not this year over the game that is? Have fun waiting for that over a game with a simple later release to get the port right with a release date we know I guess.
Baited, rip.

They better not delay the raid for this shit. We should be on the hard mode by the time pc comes out.
So everything spoiled raids included before PC gets going...
You got to be fucking kidding right?
The figuring out is half the fucking fun
im just gonna double dip with ps4 if the beta is super fun, then sell ps4 copy once pc is out
