Re: Review: Destiny 2: Curse of Osiris (PS4)

@robertramsey Can I just ask why you still like playing Destiny 2? The game is painfully bad, and we all know that Bungie will eventually get around to giving everyone the game they originally wanted in a year or so (and another £60 later). This model sucks, and shouldn't be encouraged in any way, surely? You know, the pay for a game in instalments at a vastly inflated price model! 5/10 is very generous.

Re: PS5 Is Still At Least Two Years Away, Says Ubisoft

I have no idea, but will say 2020 because most others did
I like PS4, and won't be be rushing to get PS5 when it's released; I held out a year for PS4 before getting it. The idea of VR leaves me cold to be honest; I really don't want to be that immersed in a game. Also, how will I look up how to do everything on YT without taking the mask on and off all the time?

Re: God of War Director Speaks Out in Defence of Single Player Games

I still prefer single player games. They tend to have better stories and character development, and are replayable on harder difficulty levels, so you can get very good value from many of them. Also, purchasing them used can be a more cost effective way of gaming for many people. MMOs are ok, but the recent Destiny 2 debacle has taught me that sometimes I can get more playablity from a single player game

@themcnoisy I was expecting something better and more develpoed than Destiny 1, but we seem to have nothing but generic weapons and armour; yes, there are a lot of them, but they are all too similar. For example, the Iron Banner weapons are reskins of existing weaopns, whereas in D1, they weren't. Gear that you got from the raids had perks that helped you with the raid, now they are just cosmetic from what I can see. It's lazy game making from Bungie imo.

Re: Bungie Is Looking Into Improving Destiny 2's Endgame

I got bored with it already too. To add to what'a already been said, I think PVP is a mess, and that was always a big draw for me in D1. They need dedicated servers to stop the lag issues and it needs to go back to 6 v 6 imo. Also, if you take the example of Iron Banner, the guns and armour in D2 are low light level; the point of IB in D1 was that it got you a stack of high level gear, now its fairly pointless, also the weapons are reskins of existing weapons. There is no variety in the game. It feels like Bungie are bing lazy.

Re: Single Player Games Are Really Struggling Right Now

XurAgentofthe9

I like both types of game. The issue with games like Destiny, is that they struggle to keep up with the demand for content that the game engenders. With Destiny 2, players are expecting more than with Destiny 1, and i think Bungie will struggle to meet demand. These games don't keep a huge playerbase all througout their life cycle; it rises and falls in line with new content, events etc, which players are paying for.

Re: Destiny 2 Is Down for 6 Whole Hours Today

XurAgentofthe9

Yeah, gotta say it's a right royal pain. There's been a lot of down time in a fairly short period since relesase. Having said that, I agree with others who mentioned the amount of content; there's not a lot left to do until reset tomorrow. They seem to have learned very little from 3 years of D1, and are destined to make the same mistakes. Also, unless you are a streamer or YT video content provider with 100k plus subs, they don't give a monkeys about you or what you think of their game. Just saying!

Re: Destiny 2 Is Down for Another Few Hours Today

This is bad. Way too much of this in such a short time since release. Don't they realise we all have stuff to be getting on with? Also, they should switch the maintenance times around between US and EU every 2nd maintenance, so EU doesn't always get the short straw.
