Destiny may require co-op play for end-game activities (Story can be completed solo)
- Thread starter statham
- Start date
I'm cool with that, never planned on playing alone anyway.This game has been billed from the start as a shooter with MMO aspects.
Would you expect games like WoW to make SP versions of every dungeon and raid too?

I figured id try and save them the trouble
Yeah, how fucking dare those assholes want to play solo. Bungie said you can solo it, play it like a single player game and now it may require coop? Tough fucking cookie dough, better not whine!
I hope you never declined to purchase a game because there was no co-op or multiplayer aspect.
I know that it stresses the limits of your cognitive abilities, but people do have healthy social lives and prefer to play singleplayer games.
Says 5 in the quote.
But its always going recommend the max number of players.
2 manning some of the bosses when they recommend 5 would mean needing the top gear and specced properly etc. maybe even specific classes or gimmicks would be needed.

Since you asked so nicely...
Wait what? Why do you think I'm against coop?
Nope. Don't like MP? You are anti-social, you don't have friends and you hate fun.
Seriously, i just have absolutely 0 interest in MP in 99% of games of this is one of them. I would rather play it solo.
Well you can play it like a solo game. Still this is primarily a Co-op/MP game so it will have content exclusive to that is that so hard to understand? I don't go in to threads about SP games and demand MP or co-op.

Did you even read the first post? It's optional end game content. The core experience can still be done solo. So yeah, stop whining!'
Yeah,kinda like the my Story missions in GW2,where you could do all of them solo but the last one you needed 5 players and was ridiculously hard...pissed me off so much,I stopped playing.
Sorry, I'm confused.
What do you mean by the seamless transition between MP and SP being available for "raid" type content too?
That's not what's happening here. The co-op content is end game, which means it'll be post story and optional.

Doesn't seem like a big deal to me. There will be solo missions and there will be co-op missions. Why is that a bad thing? If you don't want to do one, just do the other.

Lol glad this post came 3 posts in. There will definitely be a shit storm now as well as when the game comes out regardeless of what we do though. There will probably be a couple reviewers who complain about end game being too hard too. Whiners gonna whine unfortunately.
While the game has been asvertised as a co op experience first and foremost, the main chunk of the "campaign" has already been confirmed to be soloable and easy. If you just want to experience the story you should be fine.

How is this even relevant? Destiny isn't multiplayer only. The game has a full solo campaign and people are still whining. Either way yeah. If a game doesn't appeal to me I don't buy it. I don't complain about madden cause it doesn't have enough dragons in it.
Peace Walker did this shit hard. The penultimate boss had an insta-death move that, no matter what I used, I could not stop. Right at the very end.
No Online CO-OP, so I ended up buying another copy for my brother's PSP just so I could get past it.
As a side note, this is all originally from GameInformer's interview with Jason Jones that spawned a short-lived thread. They've got new Destiny coverage going up every few days.
There wasn't a thread about it that I can find, but there was also recently an interview with Bungie's Tyson Green on designing the RPG elements of Destiny, including how they were influenced by Monster Hunter and Dark Souls.

I don't see why he would need to avoid it, considering that's what they're called in Destiny.

Some people don't want to play escort missions either, doesn't mean they won't.
If they implement a system for seamless matchmaking (essentially drop in and drop out) then i dont see why they wouldn't implement the same system for raids, except with a level requirement.
(Im not going to say ilvl or anything like that as they haven't said anything on the subject yet)
Obviously if you want to have a better chance at completing the content you could play as a pre formed group, in which hopefully the content will be harder.
As long as I can solo the campaign. Fine.
I wasn't going to cancel my pre-order or anything. It's just that sometimes its hard to find people to co-op with.

Will buy at discount, or if it reviews well, possibly around launch.
Most random games online for shooters have shitty people with shitty attitudes. Case in point;

Thats why they are trying to implement the seamless matchmaking.

What? Why?

Because the developers have told us that it has it? My reasoning for expecting it.
This isn't a deal-breaker for me though. Just pushes it somewhat back in the list of games I'm probably going to buy if at some point I NEED to group up with others. I was picturing more like Halo 3 co-op. Where you 'could' tackle the entire game with 3 others, but at no point did you 'have to'.

You could play with random players too. You won't have the same coordination as a pre made group though.
Right, gotcha.
I'm pretty sure they'll add a matchmaking system for this, I doubt you'll be forced to add friends and build pre-mades or rely on statics.

Given how stupid Halo has always been with co-op matchmaking, I hope they figured this out for Destiny.

Halo 1 through Reach are great sp games though, especially on higher difficulty.
Bungie for some idiotic reason locked online co-op to friends only (no matchmaking).

They never made secret the fact that this is going to be a team-focused game.
I believe you can have fireteams of up to six people. The game may also stream in other fireteams, cause, ya know, they can do that now.
