I had one of these back when they were still under the Nostromo name.
I always felt if they had an actual analog on the thumb and decent mechanical keys it'd be neato, but never really convenient enough to leave within arms reach.

I think you're making a couple of flawed assumptions.
First,you don't need a killer rig to play Destiny 2 on high settings. I tried it on my HTPC (950 GTX with 2gb vram) as well my laptop (1050 GTX) - both of those video cards are low end ones. Dialed down the settings a bit and the game still pumped up at 60+fps / 1080p. You easily put together a $500 rig and have a 10x better experience than a PS4. I did try out the PS4 Destiny 2 beta and the difference is night and day.
Second, PC gaming really isn't a niche anymore. If it were, we wouldn't be seeing games like LoL, PUBG, etc. and their astronomic growth. We wouldn't be seeing Nvidia and AMD going all out to capture more market share. PC gaming is $36b out of the total $91b gaming industry. That is hardly niche. The PC gaming hardware industry is worth $30b. That isn't niche either. You mentioned sales trends - I'd recommend that you actually look at sales trends and then revisit your statement.
I'd also like to state that this isn't a p*ssing match. I own a PS4 and it has its place for exclusives. For multi-plats, I've saved enough money on the cost of games to easily justify my PC's expenses.

Yeah I mean with a solitary game like Destiny, why even bother with where friends play?
I'm going to regret niche market aren't I.
I have a good online friend of 15 years from lives beta, he went full pc two years ago. I wish you could hear the conversations we have, actually screaming at each other in group chats.
it's honestly just jealousy, you guys got bigger dicks then me

The way the levels are designed, from what I've played it feels like people are never that far away that you need to take the time to switch to ADS. I've only played like three rounds so far though. It feels like it makes more sense to keep my mobility and awareness at most ranges.
Then again on the map I played there didn't seem to be any areas that were far enough away to need a scope, any distance that far was generally obscured by objects to keep sniping to a bare minimum.
It could just be the map though.

If you're too lazy to dig up numbers yourself, you have no right to challenge the numbers that others provide.

It's not hard or even that expensive to get into PC gaming. Nothing at all to be jealous of. I think you seem to be of the belief that you need the most high end rig possible that plays everything at 4k 60fps. I mean, you can go for that if you want, but it's not at all necessary. It's an option. And that's what PC gaming is all about. Options.I'm going to regret niche market aren't I.

I just want to play destiny in 4k hdr 60fps too.
Just let me sulk.
Most of us aren't doing that either. 1080p60 is still a huge step up from consoles and can be achieved for a very reasonable cost.
It's true though? At least I'm honest. I'll argue till the cows come home that console gaming > pc , but in reality it's envy.

So standard PC game features?
Is this really thread worthy?
I should make one for Forza Horizon 3.
Uncapped Framerates, 4K support, M/KB support, custom soundtracks from my media player of choice, Alt-Tab to Game of Thrones.
Such a game changer!
Bruv PC is the game changer
But I can understand that the impact in D2 must be huge and apparent, moreso than in other games, especially if you logged many hours in D1 on consoles. It was for me.
Another game to try on PC is Dark Souls 3. I'm used to 100+ FPS gaming, but never played the souls games outside of consoles. Going from Bloodborne PS4 to DS3 PC, after having spent sooooo many hours in the souls verse at 30~ FPS was jaw dropping.

Here's my biggest question.
I've been a console gamer my whole life right, how hard would it be for me to get used to fps on pc with a m and kb? Or would I be better off using a controller?
Would those using m//kb have an advantage over me.
I play fps competitively, so it bugs me out to be at a disadvantage.
I could afford the best rig money can buy, but the whole things scares the shit out of me.

I know this is a matter of opinion, but personally M+KB is the most intuitive control scheme possible for a FPS game. You move the mouse, your view moves accordingly. You use WASD like arrow keys to run and strafe.
You will almost always be at a disadvantage using a controller against others using KBM.
Some people prefer console, and that's totally fine. I would never say PC gaming is for everyone. Just strikes me weird that you made such bizarre and bold claims about the PC gaming market which you admit are based on zero knowledge.
Okay first. Was not a huge fan of destiny 1 (I bought the white ps4 with high expectations of destiny). Played the beta on x1 and ps4. Was going to skip it. None of my friends where to high on it. Read some of this thread and decided to go anway. So far in this beta Bungie really has done a good job. Really hope the rest of the game has continued interaction with the characters and storyline as you go thru 'dungeons'. They actually made me want to progress thru the story.
I have a 1080 ti which kept the Acer 1440p to 144hz . I am not a graphics guy but the difference from pc to console in this one is kind of bigger than usual. The pro and scorpio will probably help. Wish I could have tried the demo on that before this. I am worried about cheating and how many people end up playing on the PC. I must admit I had more fun because of mouse and keyboard. I suck at controller shooters. Went from playing defensively to offensively.
Question...The vsync setting was odd to me. I guess it makes sense in a way but you either shut it off or set it. With gsync your supposed to shut it off but you usually can set the rate separately. So guessing I shut it off and let it go uncapped?00

You're looking at this from an incredibly narrow view point. PC games can be incredibly popular, rivalling or beating any console game in player counts (e.g. League of Legends).
Yeah, the AAA console games often don't do as well on PC as they do on consoles (shock), but the top PC games often rival best console games. PC gaming is far from just about the high end stuff, in fact it's largely NOT about the high end stuff.
Yea setting it off uncaps it and turns off vsync

Does ADS affect damage?
Otherwise I don't think I'll even use it on PC.

People call you out on your low-effort trolling, you answer equating PC gaming to penis size issues.
As I said, embarrassing.

It feels like a different game. I played the Strike on PS4 once because I thought it was shitty and I didn't want to have to play through it again. I played like 5 PvP matches and called it quits because it wasn't fun.
I can see myself playing the Destiny 2 beta on PC until it's over. The Strike's fun, and PvP feels great.
This one's funny, solely because Destiny's menu navigation on consoles has always been with a cursor. Menu navigation was made from the ground up with a mouse in mind.

i played destiny 1 over 1000 Hours on PS4, just played the destiny 2 beta on pc and i was just blown away, everything feels sooo much better can't go back to console now

Same here. Been playing the beta with a pad and it's been great. Granted, I don't plan on joining any of the PvP modes, but as far as PvE is concerned, the pad isn't a problem at all.

Destiny at 55 fov (is this the console fov? I haven't played Destiny 2 beta on console) which is the lowest.
Same exact position and angle, at 105 fov (the maximum)

This should be enough for people to make the jump. The console FoV is trash.
Goddamn, it's like Borderlands 1 all over again.

I doubt the console FOV is 55, that's stupidly low.
Yeah, we need confirmation of this.

Hacking won't be too bad with destiny no matter what since the meat of the game is in the co-op.
(I like the pvp don't get me wrong)
It's not like the division where the best stuff was only in the pvp dark zone.
Is pad on PC the same as pad on console - with the same aim assist?
I think it's Overwatch where you can use a pad on PC but it's got none of the console pad tweaks.
Xbox one controller here. It feels the same to me.
Yeah. Bungie's lowest-ever 16:9 FoV was 70, in Halo 3. Destiny 1's FoV is 72. 55 would be a bizarrely huge reduction.
