I agree
Yeah, definitely.
Wish developers would include options for it on console games as the narrow FoVs often make me nauseous

Drew's random appearance has been my favorite part so far.

i would much prefer it if this static camera shot with creepy background music was slowly zooming in on that portrait of jeff instead
I had to leave for about an hour (left when they were at the ship stuff still) and I joked "I'll laugh if they're only at the Basilica, but given that they have people who have beat it before, they're probably at Warpriest".
I was wrong. I was so wrong.
I was wrong. I was so wrong.
And it makes me happy.

I think the shooting is going to be a subjective thing, and there is a proper Raid now to call endgame. But that's fair. I just like it because it's free and I like the casting abilities.

How long do you think this is going to take them?
To be fair, I played it as avidly as I currently play Destiny (think I logged like 100 hours a week for a bit) and I've heard about the actual raids but the grind and farm couldn't win out over my apathy towards the combat. Then Destiny came out and I've never looked back.
Hoping for a staunch battle where Austin goes full Undertale and makes everyone else play it.
At this rate? 8+ hours. This isn't even the hyper complex and mechanically intense part.
edit: That's after this encounter

Ha, what they're describing right now sounds like the second part of the Warframe raid, that's hilarious.
In the Raid, there's a locked door with a giant screen above it that shines symbols. People have to go and stand on the appropriate pad with the corresponding symbol, and stay there or else anyone on the pads get zapped.
It's one of the most irritating parts of the Raid because one fuck up or an ad knocking you off the pad resets the entire progress.
I really think I would like Destiny. If I get a PS4 on sale during Thanksgiving or Christmas (or as a gift) I'll probably pick it up.

Is it like this throughout? Nothing but mechanics juggling challenges that must be repeated 6-7 times without fail?
At any point do they get into a jeep and drive along an obstacle course within a time limit?
Not 6-7 times, but every boss battle has very certain mechanics involved.
None of them would be as into it as Austin anyway.
I just rolled credits on Witcher 3, and maaaaaan that's a game that does it's ending right. Finishing that and MGSV within two weeks of each other is like when Dexter ended a week before Breaking Bad. One utterly failed and was actively a disservice to all the came before and the other served up a fitting, logical, if not entirely positive end for all characters and story arcs.

Ha, perfect analogy.

Breaking Bad's ending was anything other than logical or believable.
If everything goes as smoothly as this warpriest encounter, though, then it might be far less.
Golgoroth will still take them 2 hours.

Just got back from a meeting. They're shooting guys now!
Let me tell ya about a little show called Dexter...

you gotta see how most shows end though
coming from Lost, Breaking Bad not fucking it all up with nonsense and having closure was so refreshing

A better comparison would be MGSV being like Angel, which died a premature death because it was in limbo so they had to wrap it up, and Witcher 3 being like, Home Improvement. Which went on waaay too long.

I've seen stuff like Coils of Bahamut from FF14, but each "coil" was a boss/map with a gimmick to figure out. You set aside 1-2 hours with a group to take on each stage. It wasn't running a gambit that took 6-9 hours to complete.
This thing is patently insane. I'm impressed by the sheer boldness of it.

I see I missed a lot over the last hour
It's a maze, seriously?

"The people that made this are some real fuckers."
There are checkpoints after each part. You don't need to do it in one sitting.
You don't need to defend destiny's honor every time someone even slightly criticizes it. It's going to be ok
But it's just a fucking maze dude. At this point, I think people are only watching to try and find faults.

"At least it's not stealth."
at least the stealth section was kind of funny watching them die for an hour+
Fobwashed aka Steve Kim, (posts here, does some art stuff for GB), two community guys who have done the raid before.

You guys do the zig zag or the one bubble method? The question is who is the gaze hunter?

You get super defensive every time anything is brought up even slightly critical about Destiny though.
ah thanks, was thinking they'd found some other industry people like before

honestly this is probably the better solution, if we want them to ever finish it.
plus it's cool they're involving the gb community. like a mini-TNT
