What part of the raid is the pachinko level?

 

[Kaibutsu]

Ben is the first to crack

 

[PushTheButtonMax]

(I have the stream on still but also doing other stuff)

I don't know what happened either, I walked out of the shower to them having mental breakdowns.

They managed to complete the cycle and then had the realisation you have to do it multiple times.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Spoiler

I would never do this bullshit lol

Of course there will be a Friday show this week....

Spoiler

lmao oh shit

 

[JakOfTheShadows]

In the words of Jeff everyone just needs to "play their role/class" and all will go well.

So I'm guessing we aren't getting a sunshine episode this week.

That's my favorite feature

 

[Wunder]

this looks like a good time

When Dan said is this fun, all I can think about is this

I dunno, this seems pretty simple compared to mechanics in something like WoW or FFXIV. Though it's still pretty neat to see MMO raid mechanics in a FPS.

 

[funkystudent]

Hey guys.

At least the shooting is good!

 

[Demption]

Yeah this raid was fun when they were figuring stuff out, now even they aren't enjoying this

[Jakoo]

Abby giving a pep talk to an absent team with some solid punches to the nuts is A+

 

[MadLaughter]

I like ben a lot, but he might not have the temperament for raiding

 

[shiftplusone]

very happy to see that destiny2 has earned its way out of GOTY discussion

 

[oti]

Come GOTY time I want them to ask "Is this fun" for every game they consider putting on the list.

 

[slightconfuse]

What happened?

 

[Salarians]

I want a sandwich

 

[robotrock]

goddamn giant bomb always makes me hungry

 

[Xater]

As someone who didn't enjoy the first Raid in Destiny 1 much this somehow looks like even less fun.

 

[dcassell]

I cannot wait for the last part of this section. I'm also doing this next weekend, so this helps get rid of the intimidation factor of doing into this blind.

I'm going to make a sandwich.

 

[OdysseusVA]

If you have to ask if a game is fun then you already have your answer

 

[funkystudent]

As someone who didn't enjoy the first Raid in Destiny 1 much this somehow looks like even less fun.

Most people think this raid is a dud.

 

[Tagyhag]

Man this is just bullshit, and the crazy thing is that it's not even as annoying as other MMO raids. I'm so glad I never got into this scene.

Come GOTY time I want them to ask "Is this fun" for every game they consider putting on the list.

Games don't have to be fun to be a good experience.

 

[robotrock]

no sandwich meat in my home

 

[shiftplusone]

Ben said not shooting what is called out is fucking him up

Brad said he was worried that the runner switch would fuck them up but they're doing ok with that

(Ben fucked up because of the runner switch too lol)


Not trying to dunk on Ben, coordinating this shit is tough. when a 40 man raid in wow wasn't just a dps/add fight it was a lot of bullshit. was really happy when they went to 25 and 10 for everything

I'd switch to the runner calling out what exactly the others need to shoot but I'm not raiding so I dunno if that would actually work

 

[Jakoo]

So let me get this straight--they need to do this 4 more times without dying to pass on from this? Punishing design if so, wow haha

 

[Death Metalist]

What happened?

They found out that the thing they spent hours on doing needs to be done multiple times

 

[robotrock]

So let me get this straight--they need to do this 4 more times without dying to pass on from this? Punishing design if so, wow haha

Destiny is a seriously crazy insane game

 

[Piston Hyundai]

I thought you wanted BotW to win

 

[zsynqx]

Alex NOOOO

 

[Teddified]

You know what would make this better?

MORE PLATFORMING

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

"Are you holding up a convenience store??"

I love this web zone!

 

[Death Metalist]

Abby fuckin owns

 

[NightOnyx]

5 times seems unnecessary. It seems like 2 runs should be enough. Like there seems to be a theme of four in the room anyways, so 2 runs with 4 dunks would a good number.

 

[oti]

I thought you wanted BotW to win

Nah, seriously. If they seriously pose that question and they think Zelda is more tedious than fun, it shouldn't be on the list, let alone win. I'd love them to challenge their love for grind and collecting loot for once.

 

[ryseing]

Abby fuckin owns

TBF platforming as a titan is easiest.

 

[dcassell]

Heart skipped a beat when Alex miscalled haha this is intense

 

[benicillin]

I ran it last night and it's really not that bad. Once you get any semblance of coordination down it's easier than most raid encounters have been.

 

[Havok]

It's not 5 times - your success in these initial runs determines how much leeway you have later.

 

[Salarians]

dunk that ball dunk it dunk it dunk it good

 

[Human Trashcan]

Yeah I see Destiny hasn't gotten past its obsession with carrying balls and dunking them and doing all kinds of shit that has nothing to do with playing Destiny normally. That's always been my problem with the raids, it barely even resembles Destiny sometimes, and the encounters turn into exact simon says exercises, rather than showcases of dynamic and fun encounters. It's just so damn rigid. You either do everything right, or you die. The shooting is like, tertiary at best. The Oryx encounter especially was ridiculous.

 

[chogidogs]

Spoiler

It's only 3 times.

It's a little nice surprise.

 

[Fevaweva]

This is why games should always adhere to Rule Of Three.

Yeah, this one isn't that bad compared to the Gardens.
