Anything Rockstar and Sony related I’d assume would be shitty for Xbox people. The bonuses that PlayStation players could get for GTA Online was ridiculous, so this is nothing new unfortunately.

Happy to see legendary shards go but I will miss the 50k I’ve saved up. Also, I am very happy to see the Oversoul Essence changes so quickly

I have over 50k shards that I will never use so it’ll be sad to see the high number go away but other than that, I couldn’t imagine a soul being bothered by the legendary shard change. It’s honestly a great thing to help simplify parts of the games economy for new and returning players

I think it depends. I have too many hours in the game so I feel confident in saying that it is worthwhile. However, I believe there are a lot of factors to consider. Below are my thoughts, apologies as I typed a lot. If you also want me to elaborate more on certain issues/facets of the game, just let me know (:

1). The game is expensive. Knowing which expansions to get without any sort of help will likely be a headache. To remedy that, you’ll want to look for the Destiny 2: Legacy Collection. It gives you the major expansions of Shadowkeep, Beyond Light, and The Witch Queen. The order I have them listed is the canonical order in which they occurred in game. We’re in the expansion of Lightfall (this comes after The Witch Queen). I would suggest avoiding it until you’ve played the previous expansions.

2). The game heavily relies on veterans to teach New Lights. The new player experience has gotten better but it’s still far from good. A lot of info will be like mush to you without some sort of guide. Armor stats, ability cooldowns, build crafting, general gameplay.

3). Another person in this thread mentioned the process of “sunsetting”. This was a former action done by Bungie that has since been done away with. You won’t be affected by this in the same way veteran players were, however, the overarching story will be lost on you without looking at videos unfortunately. Bungie is working on ways to give newer/returning players more context that they’re currently missing. My Name is Byf or Myelin Games can give you the story run down plus extra lore.

I would certainly hope so as that is No Man’s Sky entire gameplay loop

After contest mode bug? What was that

Ah okay. Thank you for the actual answer

What game engine is 26 years old other than the Unreal engine?

Edit: stepped on some toes i guess lmfao

Agreed. I wonder if Bungie will tweak the Emberhale exotic as well. I don’t want them too but who knows

I am honestly very happy they’re doing the flashback stuff. I missed out on Undying, Dawn, and Worthy’s ornaments even though I bought the seasons and have kicked myself for it ever since as I love Destiny fashion. I do hope it isn’t for silver but I’m happy regardless that they’re doing this

Vault cleaning is very cathartic imo

Man, I really do not like the whole “pay more to play early” nonsense. I can wait the extra days but having to avoid the Internet will be annoying

Awesome. Appreciate the response!

Since you’ve played it, I do have a couple of questions.

1). I haven’t played really any JRPGs before so is this game friendly to newcomers or not really? It looks really beautiful and that caught my eye when I first saw it

2). Do I need to play the previous one to understand what’s going on?

Lightfall isn’t the worst expansion in the game’s lifetime which is kind of crazy to think about. Hell, for myself, and so many others, Shadowkeep destroyed interest and motivation to want to play.

Lightfall is similar to that feeling, which sucks as the game is still very fun to play, but the campaign was so boring and just a slog. I don’t foresee the game’s numbers breaching LF’s record but I do feel that a lot of players are going to quit after Final Shape once the Light and Dark saga has concluded. I’ve been consistently playing for 3 years since I got back from my post-Shadowkeep hiatus but I might take an extended break again. Either way, it’s still my favorite game, 4500+ hours and counting

I signed up for it almost immediately after I saw the pop up. My only real hope is that since this game won’t be on the Diesel Engine anymore that consoles will actually be updated consistently.

There is nothing worse than watching a game that you enjoy be permanently left behind due to the limitations of something completely out of your control

I think it’s worth it personally. The first game was a B list horror schlocky experience. The second embraces the stupid side of the first game and makes it better imo.

There is a fondness in my heart for Spec Ops: The Line, and there always will be. The twists and turns of the story and the many details it sprinkles in throughout your playthrough is great.

Kyovashad for me. Not sure why, I just really like going there tbh

Lemmitor?
