Destiny 2 |OT| Here We Go Again

Quick question: are there any larger scale, Halo-esque battles in the campaign or are they more along the lines of the first Destiny? I loved the gameplay of Destiny but sorely missed the epic scale.

Nothing Halo-like there if you're expecting vehicles and/or factions war around big environment.

There are two sections with non hovering vehicles, and those are quite boring for Bungie standards and what they achieved with vehicule gameplay during their Halo era

It's really in the line with Destiny 1. If you're looking for a new Halo in term of campaign/gameplay, you may be really disappointed. The biggest area I've been is still a large corridor, and firefight scenario where you have to defend a place from surrounding ennemies.
 
Dang, feeling weak...😭
As Oscar Wilde once wrote "The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself".

I think he was actually referring to destiny 2 when he wrote that
 
I never really played D1, not sure what class to play.

I'm thinking Hunter or Warlock, how should I really choose though? I would prefer to just make one character first and stick with it for a while.

I expected as much, thanks for letting me know!
 
So I'm at the part
where I've reached the City after finding that salvaging group and got the shotgun.

When do I get my DLC for pre-ordering?
 
For some reason I always choose exo as my race , they just look the coolest imo .

Played until I got to the EDZ , controls definitely feel better hen the beta and I'm loving the little story missions I have played so far .

I should probably go try kill the bad guy at some point but damn those skyboxes are too pretty .
 
I got D1 and D2 (Divinity OS!!) to tide me over until October, but the urge to dip was extreme.
This is looking mighty fine!
No cross-save is a bummer, I want to import my Warlock into my PC account. :(
 
The Wings one looks incredibly awesome.

Yeah I went with those. The helmet is arguably better sounding on paper but, it's all about the fashion :P

When do you get to do this? Haven't started yet but I'm about to here soon. Do you get your choice per character/class or is it a one time thing?

I'm not far in either. Mission is on Titan, class specific with a choice of 3. I'm only level 8 so it's quite early on.

I'm really not rushing my way through this time, taking it nice and slow to enjoy the ride. Plus my two brothers are using my PS4 too so we are taking hour turns each with each of us a different class.

Now that I think of it, I should probably get them to level my other 2 classes rather than using their own accounts :D
 
I'm just walking around scanning the odd object, doing the odd adventure, loving the odd story mission, crushing my opponents in the odd crucible match...this game has it all: GOTY for me so far if this all continues as it should (15 hours played since NZ launch here downunder).

I saw a guy in a public event wearing Wings last night and it stopped me in my tracks. That's how awesome it looks.
 
Ahhh.... I decrypted an exotic on a lvl 4 character lol.

Oops.

Is that thing wasted now? I have uncommons that hit harder.
 
Man, I'm lvl 8 on Warlock and the only reason I chose it is because the class seems under represented. Missing playing hunter lol.
 
Got in the game controlling my character for about 10 seconds. Dropped me from their servers twice. Took a bit to log back in. Launch day woes!

In again, maybe I'll stay in now.
 
Level 15. Go to patrol and do stuff (public events, loot chests etc.) until artifact drops. Then just grind a lot XP to it and do quest.

Good looks. Thanks.
 
It's confirmed that engrams roll to your level when you receive them right? So no point in holding till 20?
 
Loving everything about this game except the Crucible. I don't know how to explain it. It's not bad, it just doesn't have that same spark as Destiny 1. Only played like a dozen games so far though.
 
Concerning subclasses...

found gunslinger after public event chest, and just got nightstalker after opening a random chest is the world... guess this is how it works for all classes? Randol chest drops?

No.

It's not random. You get your Gunslinger class quest open when you hit level 9 and open the first chest. Then you gotta do 4-5 public events to fill the bar and do the final mission to get the subclass. I assume it's the same for Nightstalker after you hit a certain level.
 
Oh man... I'm loving it so far! It's freakin awesome.

Everything is so damn pretty (especially in 4k) too! The comments people made about it looking like Destiny 1 are so wrong.
 
I cant remember what destiny 1 looked like, seems forever since i played that.

Started out as a hunter just 10 minutes ago. Hopefully enjoy it :)
 
Got on PC but extremely tempted to dive on PS4 version from reading feedback.

Any PS4 Pro improvements?

Anyone else double dipped? Will this have longevity enough to replay on pc?


Shall I yield to my temptation!
 
Anyone been able to successfully redeem their virgin media sparrow?

It says my code has already been sent, I contact virgin and they it's an error their end and will be resolved soon.

Also, where are the pre order and deluxe edition content?

Thanks.
