Its a bit of both. To execute the raid with people in the 260's you need to have flawless execution as its going to take multiple turns to take Calus out. Lower power also increases the chance of you dying and wasting a revive token when its not really needed.
The higher the power, the more damage you do and the less turns you need to be perfect.
Are they actually doing the raid? Surprised as I thought they were done with it, especially Jeff. A lot of people have been saying here that higher light will help and while yes it will, especially for Abby and Alex, they have a general inexperience with high level destiny content and it shows. From Jeff constantly trying to melee yellow bar enemies and Abby plinking away at the yellow bars with a sub machine gun instead of using a merciless which is constantly at full ammo.
It's not their fault though as the campaign of destiny 2 is ridiculously easy and does not prepare you at all for the raid so of course they've picked up bad habits and even the higher light people like Dan and Jeff are constantly surprised with how quickly they die.

Ugh....more destiny? WHYYY?!?!?! I thought we were done with that. That game doesn't deserve more time devoted to it.

I can agree about the pricing (ex: I want Sine Mora and would probably buy it if it were $10 or so, but for $30 or 40 or whatever it is there is no way) but it also has breathed new life into games like Isaac for me. I had played the original on steam forever ago but never kept up with expansions. Ended up playing the switch version more than 40 hours already and plan on playing more sooner or later.
Heh, I thought I would be like this, normally I am horrible about playing handheld games (basically never do) but I love the switch. I have probably played it more in handheld than I have in docked and very much enjoy it either way.
That said I would never get a game like Doom on the Switch... PC is definitely the way I want to experience games like that.

Good to see Squad Sight actually being used in ExCorps. Unfortunately, positioning is still very much a weak point for them.
Still waiting on Big Jeffrey, Scoops, A Striker, and Blinking White Guy to show up in the squad.
Was planning on running the rest of the raid with the same group later, but that might have to take a backseat to seeing GB take one final shot at it!

taswell is immortal and thus would be unfair to the aliens to have him on.

I would fucking shocked if Abby or Alex are part of the Raid tonight.
You could probably throw Ben in there as well.
It's going to be Jeff, Brad, Dan and three ringers (Kessler?)

giantbomb is now a dedicated destiny site.
I thought the Doom port was getting really good praise

It's a good day to skip Murder Island.
It's good considering everything and runs well, but you want to play iD games on the most powerful machine you can. And at 60 fps
You realize you're just projecting your personal preferences, though, right?
It's clear that the Switch's mobility is a significant point of difference for a lot of people. MK8 would have looked prettier being ported to the PS4, for example, but being ported to the Switch allowed it to be differentiated from the original in a unique, impactful way.
Considering the variety of games being released these days, and the variety of ways people like to play them, it's pretty cool that we have all these platforms with unique strengths doing well.
...you do you, but as someone who watches most media on their phone, hearing the screen called tiny is kinda funny to me.
I exclusively play handheld/split joycons with just the screen. The split joycons might actually be my favorite controller.
They'll succeed together or they'll fail together. Maybe they'll swap people out of it looks like they won't make it, but only as a last resort.

I'm excited for Doom on the go. Doom worked better for me as a distraction than as some deep, immersive experience. And the art style's appeal for me has never been the details. It's not that it's a bad game or anything, it's just I'd rather sink my dedicated time into something else.

Huh? Porting Mario kart to the switch was just a unique way for nintendo to rake in another few million sales for barely any effort.
RDR on PC would be a massive deal for tons of people, certainly isnt just due to my personal preferences. Its one of the most requested ports of all time.

I play Mario Kart against 4 other people on my lunch break across 3 Switches. It's pretty cool.
Hearing Jeff unload on Luke Smith after Alex hits a ramp, floats into the abyss, and causes a sixth consecutive wipe would be amazing. Have they even realized there are ramps yet, by the way?
Don't be silly, that's all glitches right there! There's nothing you can possibly have to look out for!
Cool, thanks guys! Now to decide if I want to spend the money. Too many good games lol
Good luck! Everything will be just fine.
good luck! I've had the pleasure of having two. Dont think i made it to 98 on the count backwards from 100 part
They've repeatedly talked about ramps, yes.

Good luck, hope everything goes well!
I was fine with the other Destiny 2 stuff. This raid business is just super boring and takes up whole days.

Dan's got his faults in how he played it, but like, holy shit does every shot of theirs miss and it's so bad.
this game's art style gives me life

If their talk after the last raid stream is anything to go by, they'll be doing it after work hours so it's not like it's going to take up any time for other content they could be doing.
And yeah also today might not be the best day to be streaming Murder Island with its hyper realistic weaponry.
Personally, I don't judge how people try to find comfort in trying times like today as long as it's not clearly self destructive. If you're not directly responsible in finding solutions to problems, you do whatever to help you cope with awful events. Self care is good. For Giant Bomb, they can entertain and lift up people's moods.
Just gotta be sensitive, really.

They wouldn't be doing any other content instead of the raid tonight guys, and sounds like its the final time they are gonna attempt it anyway. No reason to get upset about it.
