Only had a quick blast on release but it actually seemed pretty solid. I used a pad though as i just can't play games with touch screen controls outside of stuff like Balatro. Mobile games just ain't my thing.

Company running it should make a pc version and bring the people home.

Really? If found the campaigns to be the least appealing part of Destiny, especially solo. Halo CE it is not.

You can play it via bluestacks should you be curious, it works flawlessly.

I mean for casual andies. Most of them without a natural client off steam won't ever mess with it.
Destiny players are retards.

Destiny fanbase are their own worst enemy. For 10 years with their over reactions they've painted their favourite developer like it's the Hitler of the industry.
Meanwhile they continue to play "the worst thing ever" on a daily basis but they act surprised when new players don't join them. For anyone who didn't already play the series and new how good it was they'd no motivation to give it a try because apparently it'd gone to shit.

It works nice as fuck with blustack or mumu, did all the raids but they are more of a bossrush. Its a mobilegame after all and in the end it shows, and now they are in the shitter to.

I actually think you are right and it's what I keep saying to people on the Destiny reddit. Like it or not, we had a hand in it.It was a double edged sword. I would say it was catering more to the no-lifers/streamer crowd more than they should. But that group also gave them more exposure. But that is what I was trying to say earlier, they chased their own assess around and round. I think everyone got a little bit of what they wanted.
But chasing the dreams of the fanbase / streamers/ etc is what got them where they did. Bungie didn't kill Destiny 2 completely, the fanbase had a large part in it. Destiny 2 in its Final Shapewas crafted in some part by everyone. Not just Bungie, we all fucked it up. No one knew what they wanted, there was no grand design, too many hands in the pot.

Oh yeah, the Destiny Reddit has been a cesspool for years.
What did they call them whenever they would make any type of update (good or bad)…Bungle? Bungo?

When it comes to simple little A to B first person shooter levels, I've got a low bar. I can have fun with just about anything. Destiny had that stuff in spades for me. They just drown it in menus and busy work.

Fair enough, whatever floats your boat.

I just think this is reductionist mentality because that could be said for litrelly any game.
Firstly there's a few things one the reason destiny 2 flat lined was because bungies poor management, destiny 2 took a major hit because years back they neutered a ton of the best talent and put it on Marathon so destiny 2 lost priority.
With better leadership if bungie was made to allocate 100% on destiny 3 you're running at full force, everything is all ideas... The idea that d2 is it is just silly because there's litrelly any story that could be told, new worlds a whole new saga, in gaming it can go anywhere.
D3 also would've brought new engine to make a good feeling game feel even that much better, a new game gets people excited again with new loot, new quests, new worlds, new possibilities, maybe they have a new mode that becomes fan favorites like iron banner, or trials etc..
To me, when someone says what exactly can d3 do that hasn't been done in d2, tells me they aren't and weren't invested in destiny. Because in that game the sky was the limit, d3 with a full on bungie is the difference. Destiny hasnt had priority and 100% attention in years and that's why it went on autopilot.
D3 would've absolutely been a hit.

From what ive read these past few days, D3 has never been on the table since sony took over. The layoffs made it basically impossible. Remember how many devs and support studios it took when it was firing on all cylinders? Sony obviously looked at the plan they put forwad and said fuck that.

Thats why I go back to losing Activision was imo the beginning of the end for them as I feel they would've kept bungie to stay on target, I mean they supplied them with 2 extra studios... How awesome was that know what I mean? Activision would've absolutely helped get d3 rolling. Sucks how it all played out.

If there is no more content for Destiny 2. They weren't working on a Destiny 3. So with a company the size of Bungie they made a game that launched with just three maps with a tenth the content of Destiny 1. Whether you like Marathon or not, there is a definite scam here.

The biggest travesty with D2 IMO is the fact that it's still nearly impossible for newcomers. Absolute horrendous onboarding, newcomers get welcomed by like 100 separate currencies and 1000 icons on the map, and you can't even experience the entire story.
I forgot it even existed. I played it for a couple hours the day it came out and never touched it ever again. It's not even on my phone anymore so at some point I either deleted it or didn't bother redownloading it when I reset my phone.

Yep, Vicarious visions were great in particular must have cost an absolute fortune keeping us happy lol.
I remember launch D2 and basically playing for 27 hours staight on launch day and I think bar the raid stuff I'd seen everything and got every exotic lol. What a let down the fixed rolls and double primaries was. Then ToO hit and i was sure the whole thing was done.
Then Warmind basically fixed most shit and lead into Forsaken perfectly. Good times.

The more I think on it I wish the destiny 1 remaster or whatever they want to call it would happen.. The content is there, it's good content, the pvp was always way better in d1, I feel that is an easy lay up gold mine for these guys. I'd be ready to buy skins you name it
D1 also imo didn't get to really cook, d2 swooped in so quick and I just think people would eat it up.
Damn I'd love to see it.

I was thinking on that as well. If they basically released a content complete fixed non live service game they'd make absolute bank. I'd kill to run Wrath of the Machine again.

Lmao nah. Don't waste it on me lol. I'm getting back into The Division 2. Might be able to convince a few clan mates to pick it up since it's cheap all the time.

Isnt it alot of balance issues for abilities and weapons, going from 30 to 60fps? I think there is alot of small problems that makes it not worthwhile going for it, atleast at this point in time. Well, forever as it is now is more correct i guess.

The heavier gunplay focus on D1 is so good, while also still making the space powers feel good too. D2 in is last couple years was basically "magic first, and guns if you're stuck recharging."
It was fun, but I missed that balance.

Loved the first one back in the day, and out the pc version of 2 down a long time ago cause I couldn't get it to stop crashing. I think they've fixed that now though, as I didn't have any problems yesterday.

Let me know if you change your mind we can hold hands and hug our way around Perimeter when season 2 kicks off.
Ill do anything to add a couple of CU's to the total CCU at this point lol.
I'd love a D1 remaster. I tried going back to it but it's unplayable with 30fps and the narrow fov.

Yeah i tried a while back. Awful especially on an oled.
Same. Although I'm always surprised at how many people are still playing it. Gives me hope that D2 will still be a fun place to hop on for many years if they nail this final update. At the very least they're getting rid of the portal and bringing back the director.
