this is easily one of the best shooters out there
why aren't you playing it /v/? explain yourselves

>this is easily one of the best shooters out there
that's not saying much
I'm not mentally retarded enough to play an FPS with a controller.
A good FPS does not have aim assist and runs at 60fps.
>>344253736
30fps cap, limited to consoles, full-priced expansions every few months. What a waste of potential
>>344256401
Wow I take it back now
>>344256416
There hasn't been a paid expansion since last September and there won't be another until this September.
>>344253736
because i have a shitty internet connection also my eyes are too shit for FPS games as much i want to play them
Destiny is a weird one.
>Comes out
>Gameplay is pretty satisfying for a console shooter
>Story is shit
>Missions are shit
>Dungeons are shit
>Progression is shit
>Raids are shit
>Continued being shit for 2 expansions
Then Taken King
>Fixed progression
>Fixed bosses and dungeon/raid content a lot
>The story actually has fucking something going on
In general Destiny is pretty good, it has had a big upswing. Wish it had a PC version because it's a shooter, but hey it's not awful.
>>344256492
A whole year between $60 expansions that add 4 hours of single player content. We sure are spoilt
Because it hasn't had any relevant content to enjoy since last September.
>it's a pc shitposting thread
yeah whatever
>>344256521
>The story actually has fucking something going on
Barely, that's being extremely generous. The story is laughably thin compared to the Halo series, which wasn't even that great to begin with. "You killed the taken king's son, now he's coming for all of us" Wow, what a compelling narrative.
But anon...I just bought a $777,777 shirt today

I game on console all the time, FPS games at 30fps give me motion sickness though. I mean the game doesn't look any better than BLOPS3, yet for some reason it only runs at 30fps.
I started playing day one and I still play. I know it's not perfect but it's special to me, there's nothing else out there that feels like Destiny.
>>344256841
I've been trying to get into it, what do you do at level cap?
>>344256707
It was more in character interaction, because the characters do slightly more than shit exposition.
Well, they didn't really shit exposition so much as "I could tell you exposition, but instead I will use this time to tell you why I don't have time to spout exposition."
>>344256965
Fair enough, I thought the voice work from Nathan Fillion was excellent. If only there were more of it.
>>344256912
Work on getting better gear.
At around Light Level 300 or so you can start raiding and high level PvP like the Iron Banner and Trials of Osiris.
>>344253736
The game is trash and bungie should never make another game.
>>344256521
I feel like destiny and diablo 3 have a lot in common. Most of the general populace waiting for this game reacted with "I waited all this time for this?" But with the new expansion that have come out the games really have some high points now and are quite enjoyable
>>344256795
>for some reason
Allegedly it was for parity with the previous generation consoles.I can't imagine that they couldn't have made this game run at 60fps with these visuals on PS4/XBO.
>>344256521
>>Fixed progression
>>Fixed bosses and dungeon/raid content a lot
Well, they got better at it with the new stuff. All the old stuff is still boring.
I really wish this last expansion included a pass on the previous strike bosses to make them more than just normal enemies with more health.
>>344253736
i do, unfortunately barely any time for vidya now that i'm getting roped into becoming a normie
just got the taken king after maybe 30 hours into the original game, fun game, campaign got boring so i mostly ended up playing MP, only a few hours in taken king so far
Bungie has actually been good so far when it come to making the content more fun and exciting with every DLC, the problem is that the amount of content released is always so little and so much of an RNG-Grind that it just gets boring as fuck after a couple days or weeks
>>344253736
>>>/vg/
Back to your containment board, faggot.
Been playing since the first or second week. Need four more moments for year two. The crucible one, 3 fragments, hard mode oryx and the challenge of the elders.
>>344257259
We're 3 years into the current gen, I feel like Bungie needs to step up. Apparently Destiny 2 (coming soon?) is going to be a lot better.
>>344257279
They sorta fixed em. They went back and lowered their health by a large amount making them less of bullet sponges.
Also a lot of old strikes have a chance of being Taken Variations if you do heroic strikes. Generally the boss at the end is different kind of like the House of Wolves Archon Priest boss becoming a pretty fucking tough Taken boss.
>>344253736
Really not much to say about destiny. Its pretty simple and straight forward. Story is non existant till taken king, but gameplay is pretty neat. Its a comfy game and if theres no games coming out or you just got done playing, destiny gives you that enjoyment when theres nothing else. Plus, better to play with friends sometimes.
>>344257345
TTK was good but that season pass stuff before it was terrible, which is why TTK was such a pleasant surprise.
>>344257378
Absolutely, even when the game launched it felt like bullshit.
>>344257370
Anyone who is still CURRENTLY playing Destiny is a fucking moron. There hasn't been anything worth doing in that game for months, and there are much more rewarding games to grind in.
>>344256521
>friends want me to get into the game
>one in particular plays it religiously
>finally cave and buy it when I see Taken King at it's cheapest
>he tries to walk me through it
>start off game with intro mission
>from there there's almost no story behind what's going on
>no clue why I'm doing anything or why I should care about any of it
>find the PvE to be pretty boring but it's an integral part of the game
>friend wanted me to do the competitive modes with him even though I had no experience or the proper weapons
>get slaughtered for a good reason
>still haven't touched the game since
>he's been begging for me to play it again just so he can finish the mission for helping out a rookie player
I just can't do it. I'd love to, because the PvP looked interesting from what I saw him play. But I just can't. Not even some of the friends who used to be crazy about it care anymore, just this one.
>>344257138
And that's the problem with modern games.
They should be able to hold up on their own without the need for 2-3 expansions to be good.
>>344257054
Butthurt crucibaby detected
I never spent my own money on the game or its expansions. I always had gift cards for Christmas and shit. Overall, I just wanted a multi-player shooter that has tight controls, feels nice to play, and that I can mindlessly shoot aliens while I discuss tits with my buddies. Reading the Glassdoor reviews online, it seems like Activision and Bungie HR are responsible for almost 90% of the issues that plague this game. They give shoddy, proprietary tools that bug out and break which causes an extra 2 or 3 days of extra work on something that should take 6 hours for the engineers to work with Upper management wastes time to hold pointless meetings when that time could be better spent on development. Hardly any of the $500 million that Activision spent on them actual went towards development. Weapon buffs and nerds keep fucking shit up (muh jellyhorn), stealth implementing matchmaking changes that the community hates, and lying about it, changing it back, then stealth implementing the same matchmaking the community hates AGAIN.
Considering the decline in players, the poor player retention for those in the community that are still there, and the fact that they are probably pooling most of their resources towards the sequel, I'll give Destiny 2 a shot, but I'll keep my receipt just in case. Despite the issues that plague it now, it still FEELS good to play in short doses.
How can it be a shooter, that man is clearly carrying a giant axe that's on fire.
>shooter
>console
pick 1
>>344257783
I feel like this happened with me and my friend trying to get me to play LOL 3 years ago. Lack of experience and rediness and takes a while to actually be decent do to lack of setups in the beginning.
>game came out
>play it day and night
>get literally every legendary guns before the first expansion hit
>haven't touch it since
I guess this is what they call burn out
>>344253736
It's not even remotely one of the best shooters
It's not even a good shooter
Raiding is fun. The PvP is absolutely abysmal, though, and I wished they stopped focusing so much on it.
>>344257939
I read similar things from ex-employees about their tooling being disastrous, the artists have to position the art, compile (which takes minutes), check if it looks good, repeat. Compared to something like UE4 where you can view in-engine in realtime. It's a wonder they get anything done.
Y'all just jelly of my Soulstealer's Claw
I maxed out all three characters, there's literally nothing to do.
>>344253736
Co-op is God tier.
Versus is beyond trash.
>>344258358
And considering they never do any big crunches like 16 to 24 hour marathon shifts, I'd say what they manage to get done is kind of impressive. Sounds to me like upper management just needs to get their heads out of their asses. But ever since they got their new CEO, you can't deny there as been quite an upswing in quality compared to vanilla/TDB/HoW. If Bungie could have gotten in bed with a better developer than Activision that would actually invest in the gamemore with more than just advertising, we could have had such an AMAZING game. But Activision likes to milk the consumers so they water down everything a studio tries to put out. Part of that blame should go towards the COD fuckwads.
>>344253736
>Not on PC for some unfathomable reason
>Setting that looks like a shittier version of Warhammer 40k
>30FPS
will we get capes for our titans?
>>344253736
I am playing it. quite a lot actually
>>344253736
A base game that didn't have enough content to be worthy of ANY expansion was carried forward by the troglodytes that bought the season pass.. how does it feel knowing you'd have to be gullible retard to fall for such a Tactic? Lmao!
>>344260717
But anon, they're just followingthe current model for AAA games. See Battlefront, Overwatch, and CoD.
Is there like a gallery of high-definition weapon screenshots anywhere?
There are some sexy space-guns in this game.
>>344253736
Its not even mediocre
>>344258954
They need to give us the crucible guys helmet, lord shaxx, his helmet is one of the best looking in the entire game
