I don't know if it's because I've never been big on the idea, but I still find it odd how beholden Jeff is to the idea that Destiny was going to be a 10 year singular game with the same character keeping its progression. Again maybe I just interpreted it differently from the beginning because that's not enticing to me.

 

[BTA]

After beating Sonic Mania I was left with the urge to try and beat the first 3 sonic games (which I never could as a kid)

I sorta did the opposite where Mania coming out made me want to go back and beat the originals (that I also couldn't beat as a kid) before I played that,

I have not yet started 2 but I probably will soon.

I mean if you go back to pre destiny 1 bungie was saying all of that. Granted even if they did that it would probably work like any other mmo (your gear will quickly be worthless in the new game) but yea.

Feels more like punishment for us though

I agree with this. While I wish Dan was forced to play Kiwami, I also don't want to listen to Dan groan for 40+ hours.

I mean Jeff still thinks NES Metroid is better than Super Metroid.

The impression that Destiny marketing gave me was that they wanted a game they could continually update, like an MMO. Which they've gone so far back on now that we have a numbered sequel.

Then again, maybe we won't see Destiny 3 for a while.

 

[Tubobutts]

He should keep being in charge of controlling Kiwami as punishment.

That would be great because all the problems Dan had with the combat in 0 are actually problems in Kiwami.

I mean, that's just the MMO model

Not sure what's weird about it, since bringing a MMO-style shooter to consoles would have the potential to be as popular as WoW. I mean it's exactly what Blizzard was attempting to do with Titan, but it didn't really pan out.

Binary Domain's story > Metal Gear

I'd still say that MGS2 is one of the best games ever.

But yes, generally agreed.

As long as it is not the SOLID series then, I agree.

He was thinking of MMO expansions.

Destiny has a similar structure to games like PSO or the first Guild wars.

 

[swimbuff]

I played the MGS games for the story which is why I think the first one is the best.

Where did Dan say Binary Domain sucked?

It's a better fucking Gears of War than all three Gears of War themselves.

BINARY DOMAIN DOES NOT SUCK, DAN. YOU SUCK.

Nah. Can't touch Gears. Big Bomain is great, but Gears 3...

not a good day to be a swede

 

[Data West]

Always cracks me up when they say Killzone is old and stale but then Jeff was like 'yeah I could go for another Gears' when Gears 4 got announced

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

Eh, as much as I enjoyed it, Killzone was Gears V .05

It aspired beyond itself.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Destiny 2 is essentially a MMO expansion with hardly any new enemies, no new classes, and most reused abilities.

True, just you don't carry your character over (unless you count the opening hand drawn stuff/appearance)

 

[Meneses]

Man, was looking forward to finally starting Destiny on my last day before going back to work but there's fucking maintenance all afternoon.

Also, it seems the Xcom expansion has no performance improvements on consoles either, so the other thing I was looking forward to will be a hard pass.

It's the worst time to not be playing videogames.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

I want to pick up War of the Chosen but it is a 30GB download which would take 3 or more days to download here.

Maybe I will just play Jagged Alliance 2 or Silent Storm fresh.

I am still super bummed that the latest Jagged Alliance game ran out of funds and got released half finished. JA2 is one of the best games of all time but relatively few talk about it. Even if it got a good reboot I worry it wouldn't get the attention XCOM does. And I love XCOM too.

Dan tosses out "it sucked!" about a lot of good games and movies. New Dan is not a real thing - he's just Dan.

2.5 hours left.

So this is what I'm saying by maybe it's on me and what I wanted out of Destiny, but I always interpreted the 10 year plan as this is how much we are investing in the franchise, not a game with a 10 year long lifespan. I even thought Bungie came out and said that was not their intention after that quote was said.

 

[Antiwhippy]

From what I've seen of 2 I think it's safe to say that it's part of the 10 year continuation of destiny 1.

But what year of that 10 year plan for Destiny?

Spoiler

I look forward to 10 more years of Destiny and I'm sure Activision does too

 

[Ashby]

Oh cool, JJ Abrams has actually made a movie or two I've enjoyed unlike the guy doing The Last Jedi.

 

[Zaph]

I had to pull myself away from Destiny 2 on Sunday after about 8 hours - I wish this maintenance was permanent.

The game is so blatant with its hooks but I just can't help myself.

 

[KingKong]

who's up for Giant Bomb plays Divinity Original Sin 2 (4 player co-op)

 

[Harpuia]

Since Friday I've erupted into random giggle fits over Vinny saying the phrase "yuck your yum".

 

[Catvoca]

Wha? I might say that any movie Rian Johnson's made is better than every JJ movie.

It's definitely an austinism though.

Ashby keeps on posting that he doesn't like Rian Johnson movies for some reason

Are they actually doing this? That would be amazing.

 

[wenis]

I'll cosign that. easily he has. JJ hasn't made much worth watching.

Are there rules for which region a game has released in?

Can a game that isn't released in NA be eligible?
