Something's definitely wrong with your setup. Do you hear the amazing metallic thunk when a cabal grenade falls near you? It sounds like it falls then solidly locks to whatever surface it lands on, it's a great effect.

Cool, thank you.
Loving the game play, but I cannot understand how some people claim the story is any better than D1's. Ghaul is laughable. The dialogue is once again full of dumb one liners that don't fit the situations at all... the chemistry between the hawk lady and the old guy made me facepalm.
Not that any of this is important since the story is over soon and the grinding shall begin.

Xbox One, didn't know that there was an issue so thanks for pointing that out.
Because D1 at launch hardly had a story. There were barely ant cutscenes, the missions felt disjointed, there wasn't really a "big bad" and you never built a relationship with any of the characters.
It is much improved here but I admit it's not perfect.
I think Cayde is overdone a bit, but he's there to make fun of the game's story. They messed the bed so badly in D1 there really is no way to take it extremely seriously, its always going to be under the microscope. I mean they had to just retcon the Darkness out of the game by pretending it doesn't exist.
It's comic book schlock, yes but at least it makes sense and has a logical narrative.
D1 vanilla is essentially: wake up, find fallen, find them fighting the hive - oh look, the Moon; wait, a strange robot lady wants us to go to Venus; time robots, some kind of portal on Mars with a giant black orb then yay! We won.... something.
The story is nothing special but it is clearly an improvement over D1 and that's not even up for debate really. It's pretty evident.
I enjoyed Cayde-6 in TTK. He wasn't overused, maintained a sense of gravitas, and mixed well within the expansion's overall dramatic tone. Instead of undercutting the seriousness of the plot, he gave it some additional soul.
Destiny 2's marketing material set off some serious alarm bells, though, and went a long way toward turning me off from the character. It sounds like I won't be pleasantly surprised when I dive into the game later today.

True. I guess just having a plot structure is an improvement over D1. The actual stuff inside the plot is just as hammy though.
The motion capture actors/directors needed some goddamn sense, why do these aliens, darth vaders and guardians all move the same. And why do they move like a soap opera diva during even the most simple cut-scene xD
I think it's more Hive. There's some dialog around Eris being missing at one point, and finishing business with the hive at another. Oryx had two equally powerful sisters if I remember the grimoire lore right. There's also the flag for Hive magic bringing back the dead from the side missions on Titan, so they may find a way to bring him back.
Although, by this point, I'm fucking sick of the hive and the bullet sponge waves of thrall.

No, it's the unnamed race from D1 concept art that was never put into the game. You see the triangles during the vision of the Collapse.
How long is the flashpoint and what is the quest called?
For me there is certainly a tonal disconnect throughout. With the tower being destroyed and losing light it seems they were going for a "darker" or more serious tone this time around. Yet the ingame dialogue is filled with humour and quippy one liners.
I have bad news for you.
Savathun, The Taken Queen is almost assuredly next year's Comet expansion.
Triangles will be Destiny 3.

So far I'm having a bit of fun, but it's already getting a bit samey. I didn't play much D1, but it seemed more "busy" with other players doing stuff along side you. This one just seems like a lot of small areas. I''ve already had an "adventure" recycle story content that has me taking the exact same path and nearly the exact same battle...
On a funny note, I saw a dude get squished by the spider tank when it dropped out of the sky lol

Honestly I was dead set on skipping but caves the day before release, i know D1 had a cobbled together story but this one has real substance, and the mods give you the ability to really customise weapon sets for specific use without having to grind for the right roll.
I know. It sucks that they're going back to that well so soon
but I guess Taken make good expansion enemies since they don't require as much work behavior wise.

Check your setup. I'm on a surround sound setup and the guns sound fantastic. They all have a solid thud behind shots, particularly hand cannons.
I've had a couple of pulse rifles and sniper rifles that sounded limp, but they're the exception.

This. In 4k it feels like it competes or exceeds the likes of Horizon ZD at times - particularly with all the effects going off.
cryptarch on the farm sells another to you for 10 legendary marks
The latter are almost assuredly the "ultimate" enemy. Also angles vs curves (sphere vs pyramids?). The ancient enemy of the traveler is acute angles.
Savathun will most likely be the face of *an* expansion. Dunno if it'd be the big one between games, though. Plenty of Taken and Hive stuff referring to Savathun coming. She's also one of Oryx's siblings from the Book of Sorrows grimiore stuff from Destiny 1.

And it won't be the Osiris expansion since that will have a destination on Mercury and Mercury is all in on Vex.
Hmm no sign of heroic strike strike or weekly :/
Cheers, haven't been back to the farm in a while, will have to check it out.
Savathun hints are all over Io. Ghost mentions that the Taken won't be without a leader for long, and that they're calling out to something. There's actually a strike called Song of Savathun which involves you fighting her heralds,like we did with Oryx in D1. Combined with the creepy Titan Hive worm tease... Yeah, she's next year's big bad.
Second expansion from the pass is

So it's just your speculation? I thought I missed some rumor or something. lol
Sure all that sounds nice, but it's hardly confirmation of any sense.
I did say almost assuredly. It would make no sense otherwise though with how thick the foreshadowing is laid on.

Man if triangles really are a cliffhanger until Destiny 3, I'm gonna be sad. I want my triangles explanation right now god dammit.

Oh I think that it will eventually payoff to something. I just don't know if that something would be the big Y1 expansion considering it would probably get a poor reaction because some would see it as a repeat idea of what they did with TTK. Like they'd have to do a whole lot of work to justify it and differentiate it to people.
