129.99 for the digital deluxe edition in Canada, damn games are too expensive here.

UHC ain't cheap.

Spoiler

I know it has nothing to do with that

 

[Kyoufu]

Played the first one on PS4 but not sure whether to get this one on PC or PS4 Pro. I have a decent PC with a 1070 in it, but AHHHHHHH!

What say you? PC or PS4?

Wherever your friends are.

 

[everyday math]

Cross Xur out, the point remains. There's a lot they crammed into that CGI trailer. I'm not a big fan of CGI trailers myself but I'm also not going to whine about it because that CGI trailer is not the only thing they're showing for the next 6 months.

CGI trailer gives story outlines and Gaf complains. At this point Bungie should just make a PowerPoint with a listing of bullet points for this place.

Zavala was for the new people joining

Cayde was for those returning. While Zavala has a sexy voice I'm here for the loot and to kill aliens. No need for fluff words.

Those two have a rivalry going. It's not a coincidence that there's two separate groups of Guardians.

None of my friends will buy Destiny 2 on PC, they're against the game because of how cool it is to hate for whatever reason. I'll just buy it on PS4 due to the playerbase and maybe get the PC version during the winter sale.

I wonder if they're going to set up a faction divide. There are already neutral or enemy Guradian groups to the Tower. I wonder how the Iron Lords are holding up, and what the Concordat is up to. Destiny might be fun with the old Alliance Horde competition.

Would be nice if they actually gave weight to factions. Destiny 1 was supposed to do that..before..well we all know what went down.

What Rahool has to do with this?

Please tell me Rahool died during the attack on the tower.

 

[pantsmith]

So so so so hyped, but its such a bummer that we know it exists and *nothing* else about it. I really want to see gameplay, or any kind of in-game footage.

 

[Subtervotion]

(Moved this to the next page to get some opinions since it'll get lost at the bottom of the last one.)





Exactly. My biggest issue (as I've stated 3523523 times) is the lack of matchmaking on non-Raid activities due to the lack of reasoning behind it. Come on, Bungie, you literally designed story missions to be played with two other people but won't let me use matchmaking on a playlist of story missions? wat?

My solution for matchmaking is as follows:

In-Game LFG: There would be a simple menu system not unlike the Private Matches menus that you can access from orbit or whatever Destiny 2's version of that is. Obviously most people will likely use it for Raids but you can set up your "lobby" to simply find a group and jump in to the activity you want.

Raids: Once you have completed the Raid from start to finish on one character, a matchmaking option would unlock for that Raid on your entire account. However, it would still have caveats: you would need to be a specific light level and the game needs to detect a mic. This would assure that those using matchmaking know what they're doing, meaning if the game throws someone into the middle of a Raid, they're not lost.

If you get a Fireteam together through the LFG tool and you're down a player or two, you can of course jump into matchmaking as long as everyone on your team has beaten the Raid once.

Trials of Osiris: It would have two separate playlists. One would be for pre-made Fireteams of three players. It would obviously only put pre-made Fireteams against other pre-made Fireteams.

The other would be a matchmaking playlist and it would only put matchmade teams against other matchmade teams. However, the game will keep your team together until someone leaves or needs a new Trials Passage in case you find some people you click with. As with Raids, you would need to be a certain light level and the game would need to detect a mic.

The rewards would be identical in both playlists and you can still go to the Lighthouse as well. Might it be harder with matchmaking? Sure but as many teams will end up sticking together if they go on a roll, I believe it will even out.

(No, I don't know if a 2-person Fireteam could use the matchmaking option. I can't decide if that would be too uneven or not. But hey, test it out, listen to feedback, change it if needed.)

Everything Else: Optional blind matchmaking you can toggle on/off for every single other activity. Nightfall, Strikes, arenas like Prison of Elders, Heroic Story Playlist and even normal story missions. It would be on by default and you simply need to hit a button to turn it off.

It comes down to options. The more options Bungie gives us, the better the game will be.

I'm 100% on your side on this. NF and everything else that is stupidly easy, there is no reason not to just have simple MM.

And raids, I agree. I think another way to do it could just be a server browser. This isn't rocket science but people who are anti raid mm act like there is no possible way to make it work.

Ha! Fat chance. The guy is probably safe somewhere and being protected by all the Legendary engrams he hoarded Y1 when we would get Blue items from Purple Engrams.

Great summary. I'd also like to point out that it's a friendly rivalry, both Zavala and Cayde have opened up in the past about how much they respect each other, even if they don't always agree.

Hopefully when we see Guardian's clashing outside of the crucible, we'll have some real faction wars.

Oh yeah.

Did you read the recent grimiore from AoT? Cayde made Zavala train kids in the ways of dodgeball 😂

This is a trailer that comes across like a week-before-the-release tv ad. It is a big letdown of a reveal.

Not disagreeing with your comment about rivalry but Zavala's group is outside the wall and Cayde and Ikora's group appears to be in the Last City itself. So it's likely they got seperated and had to push two different directions in the fight.

The funniest thing about this, is that for all the criticism Cayde's getting for being cavalier about what just happened, HE is the one leading the group saving the Civilians while Zavala's safely outside the walls.

You're not a vanguard leader for nothing. Cayde is a guy who acts aloof, but really does care. Also has a really interesting search engine history.

Your right about them most likely getting separated. cause Cayde in the first teaser was already separated from them and getting yelled at.

 

[OfficerCrunk]

Has anyone picked which system they'll be playing on? As far as I can tell none of my old friends have any intention of playing D2 whether it's PC or PS4. I originally played on PS4 but the idea of 1440p/100hz+ Destiny with mouse/keyboard makes me moist.

The only issue I'm seeing with my decision is the player base; its absolutely huge on PS4 and I'm not sure if it'll be as popular on PC. There's also the issue of maybe D2 won't even be unlocked frames on PC.

Should I wait till Beta and see for myself before making a decision?

The trailer was a success.

It told people what the story is, it let people know when the game is coming out, the LE sold out in an hour and the game is all over social media with the trailer being shared positively.

Listen, I get it, you personally didn't like it. It wasn't the reveal you wanted. You've been very clear and you've been negative towards Destiny in multiple threads now. It's fine. But what is your argument at this point? I just don't get why a couple of you continue to push this argument against the reveal.

We get it man.

He's being held captive in Ghaul's torture dungeon. Optional side mission to go and rescue him.

If you do, he awards you with some blue engrams he hid up his....well, maybe too edgy for Destiny.

Yes

 

[SmackAttack]

I've said it before but even after being very disappointed with Destiny, I've been holding out hope for the sequel. A CGI trailer, no gameplay until friggin' MAY, and already pushing pre-orders and special editions is not a good start. Hoping the game is better than the first but it sucks seeing it revealed like this.

 

[everyday math]

No, it did not.

Ok tell me what you need to know then, because it listed the story pretty damn clearly. If you want gameplay that's coming out in a month and half.

The trailer has over 2million+ views on YouTube and sold out everywhere. While it may have been a personal disappointment for you it was a worldwide success as a trailer.

I have a nice gaming PC and plan on playing D2 on PS4 pro because of the larger community, exclusive content, and Bungies lack of experience in the PC market preventing exploits. I will bargain bin destiny on PC or maybe even double dip but primary will be PS4.

 

[Jest Chillin]

Oh of course. These are not unique character archetypes at all. Zavala is a strong Macro leader but if my ass is in a sling, I'm sending an SoS to Cayde because he's the one that's going to do something really, really stupid to help me out while Zavala is busy cross checking scouts reports and attending a dozen debriefings before making a decision which would probably be that I'm an acceptable loss due to the focus of the BIG mission.

Throughout Destiny, it always bothered me that the Daily Story didn't have matchmaking. I would have done it every day but instead I absolutely never did it more than a handful of times. It's just so much more fun with other people.

 

[molnizzle]

Do you understand what a teaser trailer is?

To be fair, the teaser trailer was "Last Call." They released that and said that the reveal trailer was coming two days later. People expect more from a reveal trailer. I know I did, and I'm a huge Destiny fan.

They basically released two teasers. They really shouldn't have called the second one a "reveal" and made us wait 48 hours for it.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Please tell me Rahool died during the attack on the tower.

If so, I hope it's confirmed when we return to the Tower at the end of the game when we see nothing but Rahool's legs sticking out from under a pile of bloody blue engrams.

I don't think really anyone should disagree on MM for the easier stuff. It's when raids come in is where you'll find barriers. If it were up to me I would have built in LFG.

Randoms have a hard enough time doing the simple raid mechanics in strikes. Not sure I trust MM for raids. Or at least they need to add in restrictions.

In-game LFG would be enough for raids and Trials. I think matchmaking would be a disaster, but we shouldn't have to use external tools to put groups together. Put that functionality in the game.

Matchmaking for everything else. Story missions, nightfalls, all that shit.

Exactly. Seems like if the trailer is hinting at anything it's that there will be a division between the guardians. The grimoire is constantly hinting that the 3 classes do not get along.

Lmao no it doesn't. Reveal implies stating it exists and it's coming out which they did? It doesn't specify whether it's gameplay or cgi. Gameplay trailer implies showing off gameplay.
