GOTY TALKS ARE OVER

Destiny 2 is the clear winner.

 

[Basileus777]

The sequel to Mario Party Party that they deserved.

 

[Catvoca]

Giant Bomb |OT33| Dog Bottom

 

[OdysseusVA]

They could just cancel the raid

 

[BreezyLimbo]

People do MMO raids "fast", too. Execution is as much a part of it here as it is in typical MMO raids.

Even then thats after youve geared up, then you can just speed run raids. Not after 2 a raid has been out.

[Death Metalist]

no amount of loot is worth that unholy demonic dog shit filled bottom

 

[Zocano]

I think brad knows the underbelly shortcuts and failing that the standards should be a palate cleanser especially given their horrid experience with gauntlet.

Ya the shortcuts are super fast given that you know the routes. Like kind of absurdly fast.

 

[MadLaughter]

Still not watching- what happened? The game glitched once they finally did the thing?

After five hours, they had a few runs that were SUPER SUPER close, including basically dying at the last second.

The very last run, they died AS they finished, and so the game spawned a chest and the event completed, but every single player started dying and reviving over and over and over again.

 

[Salarians]

tell me about your exotic legs

 

[chogidogs]

Fashion Destiny. The best part.

 

[strafer]

so how was the raid?

 

[Zocano]

so how was the raid?

A proper blind raiding experience.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

so how was the raid?

Went smooth at butter.

[AaronMT86]

so how was the raid?

The first encounter went well.

 

[def sim]

I’ve only seen short of two hours of this, but Dog Bottom is burned into my brain.

 

[Salarians]

goblet top

 

[robotrock]

so how was the raid?

I thought it'd be fun to watch GB suffer. But now, not only are they suffering, but I am too.

 

[Basileus777]

They could just cancel the raid

Why? The value of this feature increases exponentially the more they suffer. No one is watching this for hot Destiny action.

 

[Zaph]

At the very least, this stream probably saved us a couple hours of Destiny debate during goty, right?

Right?

 

[slightconfuse]

What part did they get stuck on?

 

[Zocano]

Even then thats after youve geared up, then you can just speed run raids. Not after 2 a raid has been out.

I mean yes there's that (which happens in Destiny as well) but I'm talking about the groups that have a raid down to a science and can just beat an MMO raid in one night no sweat and just have it down to farming it. Which happens with every raid.

 

[robotrock]

At the very least, this stream probably saved us a couple hours of Destiny debate during goty, right?

Right?

Lol, it just doubled it. You know Brad is still gonna go hard as hell, while Jeff is gonna be 2014 levels of mad about Destiny.

 

[daveo42]

Dan's reconsidering his position on Destiny 2 according to those exasperated sighs.

 

[Keyser Soze]

What part did they get stuck on?

They got stuck on the dog bottom

Dan putting his dedicated Destiny 2 co-op TV on Craigslist after that stream

 

[Basileus777]

Lol, it just doubled it. You know Brad is still gonna go hard as hell, while Jeff is gonna be 2014 levels of mad about Destiny.

So Jeff is going to put Destiny 2 on the top 10?

 

[petethepanda]

Oh man, I haven't seen this The Floor is Lava thing! (Still haven't done the last couple campaign missions.) I hope they keep adding more stuff like that and the Commander stuff at the Farm.

 

[chogidogs]

Hey Brad, I got 3 kinetic +5s today by dusting my armor mods and trying my luck with random weapon mods from the gunsmith.

 

[robotrock]

So Jeff is going to put Destiny 2 on the top 10?

Maybe should have said "2014 levels of mad and then some"

 

[FlammableD]

so hang on, have they been doing the same quest all day?

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

To reiterate and bring up a WoW raid

Just because you know what to do, doesnt mean the raid cant be challenging. Knowing about it and doing it are two separate things. Thats where the challenge comes in. The example being used a group already beat the raid in 30 minutes. That means the challenge of the raid is dependent on a players knowledge, not on the fact that the raid is actually challenging.

In WoW for example you and your group can know the fight, despite that there is still a challenge to it that depends on either your gear or how youre tackling the fight.

In Destiny, that challenge comes from a lack of knowledge and having to jump through hoops correctly. Once you do that, all the challenge is gone, because the raid has no inherent challenge that isnt based on the players failure.

I'm kinda not seeing your point? Destiny's exactly the same in that people can be geared and still struggle with execution e.g. jumping through hoops is part of the execution. In other stages there are parts tired to execution. The only section of this raid that's not tied to execution is during the worst part of this raid but 3 players still need to perform. I'd argue due to the fps mechanics there's more execution required in base combat, you need to aim, dodge, improvise when people need cover or screw up. It's not just a matter of going through your dps rotation.

 

[daveo42]

LOL

The banner fight again

 

[BiggNife]

so hang on, have they been doing the same quest all day?

It's a raid that's designed to take like 8 hours on your first playthrough.

 

[robotrock]

Oh fucking hell are we back?

lol got to the winning run on the stream... This is the most GB way of winning a boss fight haha

Im having a hard time to explain my thoughts coherently, so thats on me. Im trying to find the right way to word this argument @_@ rip

 

[hamchan]

Guys. They’re gonna skip Sunshine again next week to play this raid.

 

[oti]

This is a good spot to go to sleep.

When I wake up I want to see then still playing this raid.

 

[OdysseusVA]

stream dead?

nvm
that was weird

 

[KillerDark]

Guys. They’re gonna skip Sunshine again next week to play this raid.

I highly doubt that. The raid will have reset and they aren't going to want to do this again on stream

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Wow they really are going back for more. I thought for sure they'd pick it up another day.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

They need to raid tomorrow, Friday, and Monday or they're not going to finish.

 

[daveo42]

This totally means no GBeast Playdate either. Not sure I like that seeing as we've already lost SMS. 8 more hours of Destiny 2 on Friday seems like a poor replacement.

They could stream Monday since they've essentially finished Murder Monday.

nah, I'd easily take an episode of Steal My Sunshine over this, especially considering what they have left to do

the lily pad awaits
