Bungie seem to be working on a PC game

If it's Destiny and despite loving Borderlands, I think I won't jump in
I don't want to be skinned alive for an empty game
By the time the PC version releases, it should nearly be a full game.
That is incorrect. The 2010 contract specifically listed 360 for Destiny 2.
Contract said:
Obviously things can and do change over a 5 year period including the 2013 release date.
But yeah PC was listed as a possibility for Destiny 2.
I believe that this will be a Destiny 1 + 2 PC combo or a Destiny 2 with most of Destiny 1 included.
Not really. There is an exotic handgun that this is somewhat possible with (The Last Word) due to its benefits to hipfire accuracy, but it is being nerfed as part of patch 2.0 (Taken King).

Oh, that's delightful... truly. We can all feel fortunate you took the time to visit the thread and deliver this wonderfully thoughtful insight. Thanks for sharing.

This. So much this. Particularly if I can import my PS4 guardians along with console exclusives.
My Hawkmoons come along... or I don't.

FUCK YEA
Yeah but the PC name needs to sound cooler
Luke Smith, creative director of TTK, says that we won't (WILL NOT) be able to play Destiny TTK on PC in this interview that just came out:

Party chat is a console feature, not a part of the game. The game is literally devoid of ways to form group relationships/parties in game was more the point I was trying to make.
And yes, the game being an overpriced piece of shit probably won't help it much either.

Destiny the defenitive but not yet finished edition.
What was the exact question and answer?
Keep in mind Activision doesn't want to canabalize console sales of TTK. Maximize revenue, then release the definitive PC version is a common tactic.
He asks if he will be able to play Taken King on PC.
Guy answers with "On Personal Computer? No"
Seemed like a slightly weird answer, given it would be obvious what PC means.
Luke is constantly always being a little bit of a comedian. The "On Personal Computer?" question is typical tounge in cheek Luke Smith.

Destiny PC would please me greatly.
It is around 3:10 in the interview.
GI: Will I be able to play Taken King on PC?
LS: Personal Computer? No.
The format of the interview was quick questions and quick answers and quick moving on to the next question.
I take it to mean that they have nothing to announce about a PC version at this time. I also don't expect a PC version to release on Sept. 15 with the consoles TTK release. However I would not be surprised at all to see a PC release sometime later on.

Either you played a different destiny than I am playing or this is a master troll post.

What makes you think they don't already have a good portion of the team building out a story, assets etc. for Destiny 2? I bet Destiny 2 has been under development since Destiny's launch.
Did I say they weren't? I just dont think we'll see Destiny 1 on PC - in response to the discussion above my comment. I guarantee you the sequel will make it.
My question is why? We are basing our assumption on some arbitrary, outdated contract.
Destiny represents a massive, almost ludicrous, investment on Activision's part. How can they skip a platform that, at least going by the quarterly reports from many top publishers, represents a massive portion of their income. In many cases matching the income from each console, if not exceeding those levels.
What would be the point of starting with Destiny 2? Where is the logic in skipping the first game?
This best theory I can come up with is Activision is basing their decisions off of the laughable Call of Duty sales on the platform, which could be seen as a similar product.

I would love for them to actually get Destiny right this time.
Honestly. All I want is a sequel to Destiny that does almost everything different. Outside of a few crucial successful elements.

I mentioned this earlier as well, and think it would be rather unfortunate, considering most CoD PC ports are legitimately terrible compared to the alternative. We've already got competitive FPS games much better than the CoD series.
They don't give us optimized ports. They don't give us dedicated servers. They delay DLC by like a month because of the dumbass deals they strike up with Microsoft and/or Sony. I honestly have no idea what they expect to happen.
Of course I don't expect dedicated servers for a PC version of the Crucible. But I think Destiny would do fine without them, considering it has much more to offer besides PvP.
Most likely the sequel. Luke Smith said directly in the 104 quick fire questions posted earlier that TTK won't be on PC.

Actually I have played it on ps4. And a majority of the guns have little to no real recoil. One sniper rifle that has a high cool down between shots and that partially autolevels (aka, most of the recoil is just a screen movement which does not effect its performance due to the cool down) does not make a pattern.
Well http://www.gameinformer.com/b/featu...and-answers-about-destiny-the-taken-king.aspx pretty much confirmed TTK isn't coming to PC.
Unless they have time to explain.

IceBreaker can fire up to six shots in a row. It doesn't have a high cool down in between shots. It slowly regenerates ammo up to six shots so if you are at zero in the clip then you have to wait five seconds until the next bullet generates.
Lots of other weapons have recoil too. The Last Word comes to mind as one. Not sure what game you are comparing to so its hard to say more.

Rockstar/Take-Two.
Sorry I meant to respond to this point yesterday.
I think the fact that Destiny is not yet on PC has more to do with Bungie as a studio than with Activision. Bungie has been making console only games since Halo 1, and Xbox only games until Destiny.
And Bungie has said that they have their hands full already releasing on four consoles. They have also said that they would like to also release also on PC at some point in the future but for now they are already at the limits of what they are capable of pushing out with developing on the four consoles at the moment. Judging by the awful endgame bugs in the Raids that took them a long time for them to fix I would tend to agree.
I would guess that they don't want to outsource a PC port either.

Remember this from an NVIDIA conference in 2013?
I actually don't remember that.
