6 person stealth is a pretty shitty mechanic.

 

[mobius006]

There's a trophy/achievement for it so I'm sure it's easy to find out.

Bungie posted an article about it as well.

 

[ratcliffja]

Who all is in the raid besides Brad? I see GiantBombing, but I'm not sure who's using that account.

 

[chogidogs]

Are the gorgons explained in fiction somewhere or are these one of those "will take care of it later" kind of deals?

That's Jeff's tag. And the others are posted on the last page.

 

[ratcliffja]

I did. There's no need to be a jerk about it.

Edit: Thanks. I assumed it was Jeff, but I didn't hear his voice.

 

[darkressurection]

for those who haven't played it, this section is so stupid. seriously where you need to go is about a 10 second sprint from that first gorgon, but it's impossible to see. this is going to take forever.

Yep, I understand Brad wanting to go in to this without knowing anything but this area in particular is just dumb. Hopefully they won't stretch it out too long.

 

[Rainmaker]

"The Gorgon has found it's prey"
"bradx0r dances"

 

[Wunder]

has jeff said anything for a while?

 

[The Dear Leader]

Someone needs to give these fools Solid Scanlon's codec frequency, he would know what to do.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

I would really like to know the percentage of players who finished the raid, probably very low.

Hard to know the percentage, but they have put out some numbers this week:

• Destiny averages 3.2 million players each and every day
• Average playtime is still right around 3 hours a day, even on weekdays, one month after launch.
• 1,970,807 players have attempted the Raid on Normal
• 472,082 players have defeated the Raid on Normal
• 202,729 players have attempted the Raid on Hard
• 36,181 players have defeated the Raid on Hard

They wouldn't hear him over the karaoke.

 

[Alucrid]

why are people taking this gorgon part and saying "wow this game is terrible"


i mean, it would help if they didn't start running off in four directions

Are the gorgons explained in fiction somewhere or are these one of those "will take care of it later" kind of deals?

in so much as everything else is explained in the fiction somewhere, aka grimoire cards

Incidentally someone in chat posted this stealth music from MGS to listen to with third part of the raid. It actually goes quite well haha

From this Kotaku article with numbers from bungie

Since the Vault of Glass launched in mid-September:

1,970,807 players have attempted the raid on normal difficulty.
Of those nearly two million players, 472,082 have defeated the final boss and finished the raid

 

[DJ88]

Hope Jeff will drop some truthbombs about this nonsense on the next Bombcast (and the GOTYcast, for that matter).

About how awesome it is? Me too.

They were right next to the cave they needed to duck in to and be home free but they walked right past it. : (

 

[ratcliffja]

Thanks, that helps. I've only heard of Jeff and Brad, though.

 

[Backfoggen]

Prior to this stealth part I was getting interested in this but now I'm just like nay. Give me a raid light Bungie. Just a long-ass strike that is more of an endurance test would be cool.

 

[SteveWinwood]

someone needs to gif it peeking over the rock

that was hilarious

 

[Keyser Soze]

The Goron Found It's Prey

 

[Alucrid]

Prior to this stealth part I was getting interested in this but now I'm just like nay. Give me a raid light Bungie. Just a long-ass strike that is more of an endurance test would be cool.

so you want a boring drawn out encounter without any mechanics? why not try the raid first

It really isn't that bad provided someone knows where you are supposed to go. Then this part can be finished in a few seconds.

 

[Ohwiseone]

This is why Bungie needs a map, or a waypoint system better than what they have.

its this shit that sucks..

It's this shit that makes me not want to run this raid.

 

[daydream]

Was there even in-game music for the combat section?

About how awesome it is? Me too.

Yeah, you wish. Try "degenerate, mind-numbing game design".

 

[Zabant]

A stealth section, with auto-death on detection, in a 6 man group where 1 guy can ruin it for all, in a first person game not designed with stealth in mind.

This part sure looks fun.

 

[JonCha]

Yeah, I couldn't hear any.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

SLICE THE PIE.

 

[sixghost]

This looks like the worst shit in the world.

The waypoint system is fine through the whole game, this part deliberately doesn't have one since it's a labyrinth.

This is a 10 second section of the raid if someone knows where to go.

 

[Backfoggen]

Without stealth mechanics yes

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

If is so minimal, maybe it shouldn't be there....

 

[stump sock]

This looks like the worst shit in the world.

it's pretty poor. they really just need to look up the exit so they can move forward.

 

[darkressurection]

If is so minimal, maybe it shouldn't be there....

I like the Raid, but I 100% agree that it shouldn't be there.

 

[Alucrid]

I like the Raid, but I 100% agree that it shouldn't be there.

i guess the platforming section shouldn't be there either. who likes first person platforming


the first time through it's was a fun novelty, it might take a little bit but eventually you get through. now it doesn't even matter because it can be completed in seconds anyways

 

[daydream]

Someone needs to wake up Greg.

Yeah, I couldn't hear any.

Truly half-arsed, lol.

 

[Basileus777]

All the weird mouth noises are getting to me, I'm not sure I can listen to this with headphones anymore.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Wake me up greg

I don't mind the platforming section because it is pretty easy, at least for a Titan.

 

[Ohwiseone]

Oh, I assumed this sequence went on much longer than just the short amount of time.

I still hate the waypoint system, but I guess I can understand the removal of it for this sequence.

 

[Alucrid]

it's easy for all classes. so is this. of course neither would be like that the first time through

Oh, I assumed this sequence went on much longer than just the short amount of time.

they've walked by the exit like twice now

 

[Keyser Soze]

Jeff is going to remove a star from the Destiny review after this

 

[Fevaweva]

Man these stealth mechanics...Christ. AWFUL.

 

[NumberThree]

Well this section's just dumb.

 

[stump sock]

they seem to be oblivious to the fact they're going in circles.

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

I found funny that people are complaining about how are they playing the raid when they advanced a lot without a lot of information.
