Destiny 2 is "coming soon" to PC, @Bungie not saying that means Sept 8.

Bungie is committed to doing the PC version right, more news down the road on release date.

Figured this is thread worthy. Hopefully we can get clarification.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Bungie better clarify the fuck outta this. Lots of people won't be happy.

 

[Primus]

Not good, not good at all.

EDIT: As in cancel my PC Limited Edition pre-order at Gamestop not good.

EDIT 2: Some folks saying just a couple weeks delay, that I can handle. If it's months, well, that pre-order's getting unconfirmed.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

They are probably not sure if they will hit that date or need a week or two more. Wouldn't panic over that.

 

[Nibel]

Pulling a Rockstar

 

[Flunkie]

Gotta wait til Christmas for 60fps

 

[Simply Sami]

They want people to double dip. How smart.

 

[LiK]

Of course.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Embarassing

 

[Alexious]

It's not like they can say that it's about piracy...Since it's an online-only game.

 

[Kud Dukan]

Here comes the overreaction.

 

[TVexperto]

Yeah this game is so unfinished and rushed to release I can feel it

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

It's May. Do they really know now whether the PC release will receive a delay?

 

[Tecnniqe]

Gotta wait til Christmas for 60fps

[J@hranimo]

Well this should be an interesting ride of a thread until we get an answer.

 

[Akronis]

As dumb as it is, if it means getting the game as best as it can be, then I can wait.

 

[Tagyhag]

If it's true hopefully it's not longer than a month or two.

It's obviously not ideal but I'm fine waiting if they achieve every bullet point that they promised for the PC version.

It'll also give people time to get rid of their pre-orders if the console releases have launch content problems like 1 did.

 

[franklyshankly]

This better just be a miscommunication. Such horseshit if true.

Sony strikes again?

 

[Pagusas]

If my wife and I adore and love Borderlands 2 (put in about 400 hours now together), will we like Destiny (2)? we'd both play on PC. Seems the only other game built from the ground up for Co-op from start to finish.

 

[Clarkus Darkus]

Even dates are exclusive to console.

 

[Grim Patron]

Arrogant Sony is back (((

 

[kuYuri]

If it's not releasing in September, I'm fine with it. I'm in no rush and I want this version done well, like GTAV.

 

[Nabbis]

As dumb as it is, if it means getting the game as best as it can be, then I can wait.

Id rather just play Battlefront.

 

[Toni]

If this is true, This will be hard to watch and leave you wondering how the heck a 1,000 dev team can't handle a September 8 PC release.

Its already disastrous enough with Destiny 2 looking like an expansion of Destiny 1.

 

[Plesiades]

I knew it. That's why this answer is so vague.

Where and when will Destiny 2 on PC be available?

We're excited to work with Bungie to bring the PC version of Destiny 2 to every region Blizzard currently operates in. Bungie is actively working through the global details. We look forward to sharing additional information later this year.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Worth the wait

 

[Nirolak]

I'm patient. That said, I'd expect a shorter delay than a longer delay given they seem unclear on whether it's not making launch.

 

[Ocelott]

This better just be a miscommunication. Such horseshit if true.

Sony strikes again?

What does Sony have to do with anything?

 

[Kud Dukan]

I'm patient. That said, I'd expect a shorter delay than a longer delay given they seem unclear on whether it's not making launch.

Yeah, if it was going to miss by months they would not be hedging so much.

 

[DMONKUMA]

Welp :/

Hopefully not to long after the console versions.

 

[Elfstruck]

Fuck me sideway. Don't know if I want to play Destiny on console again.

 

[franklyshankly]

What does Sony have to do with anything?

Delay PC release to secure more buyers up front? They put a lot of money into the marketing deal, I can see it happening.

Edit: this is why:

Welp, might have to go PS4 at launch.

 

[Loris146]

This better just be a miscommunication. Such horseshit if true.

Sony strikes again?

Arrogant Sony is back?

 

[Rodin]

Arrogant Sony is back?

"We sent a message, and the message was clear"

I wouldn't see why not. They're both similar loot grind experiences. The differences are mostly in the personalities / humor present in Borderlands. Your Destiny character has zero personality outside of physical appearance.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

What does Sony have to do with anything?

They already have timed content like they did in Destiny 1. Although I doubt Sony has anything to do with this per se, but they are big backers here.

 

[specdot]

Here comes the overGAFreaction.

FTFY

 

[Nonentity]

No pls

I don't want to double dip

 

[Bunta]

[Magwik]

Sounds like a miscommunication thing?

 

[Leafhopper]

Ain't even surprised.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

They better confirm a release date soon. Wasn't Destiny 1 suppose to come to PC as well?
I mean... since they said it's gonna release on Battle.net I doubt they won't release the game again. But still, they need to be more specific after what happened (or never happened) with the previous game.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

They best hope reviews are good or people will just cancel orders, lol.

Fine by me, I'm going to be playing other stuff anyway.

 

[Tecnniqe]

FTFY

Concerned trolling, game anxiety and the list goes on...

 

[SlipperyFishes]

Arrogant Sony is back?

Could be. They'd certainly not want their Pro footage to be immediately upstaged by full non-checkerboard 4K on PC.

 

[VincentMatts]

They already have timed content like they did in Destiny 1. Although I doubt Sony has anything to do with this per se, but they are big backers here.

proof of this? i heard literally nothing about this.

 

[grfunkulus]

Yeah this game is so unfinished and rushed to release I can feel it

Lol, did you WATCH the stream instead of just playing sideline commentator? Polished af

 

[funkystudent]

Take extra time and do it right.


Late releases on PC still do great. Rush shitty ports are damaged for life.

 

[Pagusas]

I wouldn't see why not. They're both similar loot grind experiences. The differences are mostly in the personalities / humor present in Borderlands. Your Destiny character has zero personality outside of physical appearance.

The lack of personality isn't a big issue after the first 100 hours. Do they have cool power ups like in Borderlands? the ability to call mech's to fight with you, throw out sentries and improve them over time (second guns, sheilds, fire missles, ext)? Like beyond loot what else keeps you moving your level up, what improvements do you see?
