Will buy the digital version this time. No CE edition digital content as far as I can see.

 

[Shikoba]

Didn't care much for the trailer, but still excited to see more of what 2 has to offer.

 

[wesleyshark]

Sounds like Lance Reddick.

It is. Same as Destiny Year One...

 

[thoseAREmySHOES]

I mean when I went to the preorder page it had only Gamestop and then on Gamestop it said "Gamestop Exclusive".

I think people might be confusing the Limited Edition and Collectors Edition. Only the LE is GameStop exclusive

 

[eggandI]

lol big time, no way in hell im buying that at launch

Lolol

 

[Sou Da]

"Our shit got blown up" Is seriously the best in-universe explanation they can come up with for having to start from scratch?? I don't know why I was expecting something more than that considering it's Destiny but.. jeez.

Well it works if your character skills don't reset, right?

 

[MikeBison]

The better be some new races because I'll die in my sleep if it's all Cabal themed. Worst race. So dull.

So we got confirmation on PC version and September 8th release date today which is all I was looking for.

 

[ViciousDS]

exclusive confirmed........they trying so hard to stay relevant



assholes.

 

[Lyonaz]

Man, maybe double dip on PS4 and PC..

Choices, choices..

 

[MaKTaiL]

It's an MMO, if you want the full experiences day one you're pretty much guaranteed to spend more than $60.

That's not what I said. I'm fine paying for expansions. I'm not fine with OVER paying for them.

 

[somecrazymember]

Lol that was fun

 

[R0ckman]

Huge fan of Destiny here: I won't pick Destiny 2 at all. The franchise is basically dead for me now. Had fun while it lasted these past 3 years. Good luck for anyone staying. I hope you guys don't need to spend over $250 for the full experience like I had to.

Curious about your opinion. Wasnt worth it to elaborate?

 

[Drencrom]

That attempt at Deadpool type of comedy. My spine cringed into my asshole.

Still a huge upgrade from the generic and self-indulgent tone of Destiny 1.

 

[MrS]

The trailer will do nothing to attract new players. The lack of info is a bit amatuerish tbh.

 

[psynergylover]

Trying to pre-order on Amazon but only the standard and CE, no LE?

 

[RoboPlato]

The LE is Gamestop exclusive? Fuck that

 

[AlexFlame116]

Never played Destiny. Maybe it's time to give it a shot!

 

[molnizzle]

They literally just renamed Battle.net to Blizzard App. If Activision were making a push, they wouldn't have gone for specific Blizzard branding but something more general (or kept battle.net).

I'm saying Bungie could do their own client. They already run their own semi-social network.

No there separate entities, Activision Blizzard is the publisher.

Activision Blizzard is what's Activision renamed itself to after they bought Blizzard. They're not separate, Blizzard is a subsidiary.

 

[psyfi]

I'm excited, but there's no way I'm going in on the deluxe version this time. The year one expansions were just way too terrible for me to do that. And honestly, with so many other games offering free DLC these days, it's hard for me to want to pay for "expansions" at all.

We'll see. Hopefully they'll be good enough to convince me.

 

[Hagi]

Cool trailer but waiting another month and a half to show anything actually from the game is kind of shitty.

 

[Rexatality]

Cayde's comedy is just generic blockbuster dude bro hero comedy style. My spine cringed into my asshole.

Holy hyperbole batman. Relax, will ya?

 

[drsoup]

 

[Fahzgoolin]

I think that's fine. Destiny was way too heavy handed with it's tone and up it's own ass. It's supposed to be a fun coop shooter. They should have fun with it.

Sure I guess.

They pulled it off with Halo. Sergeant Johnson was a good example of effectively using humor amidst dire circumstances. It worked for me, but this Destiny writing doesn't.

 

[ManUnkindH]

That was one of the most cringe worthy things I've ever seen. Holy shit that is bad.

 

[AzureFlame]

white ps4? is it pro??

 

[Tagyhag]

That's not what I said. I'm fine paying for expansions. I'm not fine with OVER paying for them.

What do you mean?

 

[Jest Chillin]

Did they always plan to make Cayde like this or did they take that one obscure line where he whispers and pleads "take me with you..." in the vanilla and ran with it?

Cayde was always this way. That's why they got Nathan Fillion to voice him as that type of character is pretty much what Nathan is known for. Both Malcolm Reynolds (Firefly) and Richard Castle (Castle) are similar. Though Cayde is much more Malcolm Reynolds in archetype.

They've shifted from having a sci-fi fantasy mystical feel to a much more generic, quirky action sci-fi feel. I don't have really as much hype for this.

The primary enemy for Destiny 2's launch is a Roman-esque military faction in The Cabal. We already know a lot about the mystical side of things. They're focusing on the underdog war style stuff for launch. Mystical stuff will still be there as we gain our power back and as we move forward. The Darkness is still the greater force pushing all these factions against us. For now at least.

 

[Pattycakes]

where's that from?

 

[tedrotheredro]

If they're going with a less serious tone, I hope they work on those jokes.

 

[robotrock]

exclusive confirmed........they trying so hard to stay relevant



assholes.

fuck that, i only buy LEs now if i can use my amazon discount

 

[sym30l1c]

I think the trailer is trash. It tries to be serious and funny at the same time but it fails miserably (especially with the stupid jokes). I really hope the game is good though!

 

[wesleyshark]

They are nailing the tone so far.

Agreed

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

Man, Destiny might be the most tonally confused franchise I've ever seen. We've gone from Noble Space Knights, to Game of Thrones Lite, to bro-five shoot and loot time. Going from the original ViDoc of Destiny 1 to this is jarring.

Yeah. I plead ignorance and am not taking away from anyone's hype - but the tone of that trailer for me was completely unexpected. Didn't do anything for me at all.

I remember Destiny being sold as an "epic space saga" not unlike Halo 1-3 and Reach.

EDIT:

Agreed

Glad you guys are pumped! I'm excited it's coming to PC for sure. I own the original game and TTK, but never put more than a few hours into it. Hated how it controlled with a controller; which surprised me, since I loved Halo.

 

[Obliterator]

Wait is the CE really fucking sold out on Amazon that fast? I never even so a live pre-order button. What in the fuck

GameStop has it up but they charge as soon a you pre-order and fuck that

Gonna have to revoke your "Huge fan of Destiny" license if you're not picking up Destiny 2. Sorry chief.

 

[ornery]

 

[thebigmachine]

The limited edition is exclusive to Gamestop.

COME THE FUCK ON, BUNGIE.

gamestop's stock might go up again!

That trailer sucked :/

 

[Ridley327]

So, you're saying it's a collector's edition? CEs are always just low quality, high priced junk shoveled onto whales/easy marks.

While true, if the promo photo looks that ugly, god help us when the real thing gets in hands.

 

[Nokterian]

They literally just renamed Battle.net to Blizzard App. If Activision were making a push, they wouldn't have gone for specific Blizzard branding but something more general (or kept battle.net).

It was the decision of Blizzard not Activision, they retired battle.net after 20+ years for a new direction.

 

[TyrantII]

Man, that console cover is gonna piss off the racists and MRAs

 

[Strangelove77]

Great trailer.

I loved Destiny enough to preorder the game and the expansions. Whenever I get the money for it.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Now we know why Bungie didn't add more vault space, no more Vaults due to 2

Bring on the Space Lockers!
First 50 slots free, 10 extra slots 300 Silver each
Max of 150 per character!

Wait is the CE really fucking sold out on Amazon that fast? I never even so a live pre-order button. What in the fuck

GameStop has it up but they charge as soon a you pre-order and fuck that

So I was right
Why did you not believe in me ;_;

 

[robotrock]

where's that from?

It's from this https://youtu.be/H6Q4s_ZdvAQ

 

[SneakersSO]

That was so cheesy lol, since when did they have humorous characters ala Borderlands?

2015 - The Taken King.

 

[MaKTaiL]

What do you mean?

The DLCs/Expansions for Destiny 1 were way too expensive for what little they had to offer IMO. I got more content out of a $15 dlc for Elder Scrolls Online then the $40 I paid for on Destiny. I still got them all and got 100% of the trophies for it but I just won't be able to handle this business practice anymore.

 

[RecRoulette]

Never went live, but after the bashed up state my Ghost edition for Destiny 1 came in, I wouldn't trust them with something like that again.

 

[Snkfanatic]

.

Ok?

Anyways, trailer was just ok...at best. I enjoyed Destiny and will probably grab it on PC but definitely not day 1.

 

[Blam]

Are you serious. 220~ for a bag?

 

[Pineapple]

Absolutely this. Destiny had elements of magic and mysticism rolled into the space themes.

So far, Destiny 2 feels like it's visually and thematically closer to Gears of War or something.
