Depends. What's your PC rig like?

Actually 30 million as of May of last year.
So yeah, the hate is a tiny tiny fraction of the actual amount of people interested in this game
Yep.
D1 gave Bungie/Activision close to 1 billion dollars. The hate is a very small minority and honestly it's smart to cater to the fans actually playing the game and making it a better overall product than changing it for the people who didn't keep up with Destiny previously.

Shit. My ps4 pro is nice though. Plays many other competetive 60fps shooters fairly well.
But seriously, what's the verdict?

There any PC footage up yet that shows Mouse/Keyboard controls instead of controller?

Destiny sure look good on the 1st mission only, just like what they did with The Taken King.
But I'm not gonna play this game ever again.

What does this even mean, really? Why is it okay that the best stuff might be tucked away into the final 10% of the experience? I still can't reconcile how the Bungie that created the Scarab boss and fun battle scenarios from the best Halo encounters is making bosses like the one in this strike. It's In The Raid™ is not a good argument.

Many of the people complaining about this reveal (I imagine at least half) in this thread have put hundreds and hundreds of hours into the first game. We're pissed because for 3 years we've watched Bungo try to patch up D1 to the best of their ability. We were hoping the patchwork phase was over and a totally revamped, retooled, redesigned sequel was coming to blow everyone away. Especially after last year's fairly barebones RoI expansion. Surely they were cooking up something good, something worth the wait.
...nope. More patching up the holes of D1. It looks like they've patched most of them now, but god damn it, those holes should have been gone years ago.
30fps on all consoles.

Yea it's ultimately comparing apples to oranges, but i mean, once you see how good apples can taste, oranges don't really satisfy you anymore.
Destiny strikes are more about plowing through waves of enemies and then chucking bullets at a boss (for loot especially) as opposed to creatively taking down the boss itself. I don't really see Bungie reinventing that formula anytime soon, but I'd be lying if I said what I saw didn't look too familiar.

Sorry bud
Looks like 30fps on all current consoles. I am a bit perplexed as well.like hell it is. it's more of the same thing.

I posted this in another thread and I'll put it here too.Sorry bud
Luke Smith said flat out in IGN interview consoles are locked at 30fps because of their CPU's!
Pro/Scorpio will be higher res but still 30 both of there CPU's are still to similar it's a limitation because of all their AI he says this point of fact.
There you go.
Nope - still looks exactly the same as Destiny 1
some people need glasses - too many years staring at neogaf screens
For me, the game DOES look like an expansion. I'm not exactly upset about that, though.
It's way too early to tell, but it looks about on par (possibly smaller? Depends on what they have up their sleeve) with something like Legion for WoW. New class stuff, new loot, new dungeons and raids, new zone to level in, and QoL improvements to the game including stat rebalances.
This is about what I expected, though. IMO the dlc for destiny 1 was comparable to the $15 a month I've payed for other MMOs, and I figured this would be a "big expansion."
I think people are underwhelmed because they didn't show anything that said "yup, here it is. This is Destiny 2." It's a lot of "here's what we took from Destiny 1 and here is how we made it better."
I think people expecting this to be something other than a big expansion is going to leave a lot of players sour.

Thanks for the breakdown. That makes sense in a MMO, actually. They tend to be more CPU-intensive than other games.
more of the same thing with new features, abilities, locales, enemies, art, graphics, campaign, etc. oh so you're saying it's a sequel? what are you guys even arguing for from bungie at this point a blow job?

lame...they could at least made crucible 60fps. lower players counts and all. no one's really paying attention to minute details on mp maps.
right?
the armor is the same.
the guns are the same.
the supers are the same.
the raid is the same.
all of the strikes are the same.
just like Destiny 1 there's no storyline.
there's still no way to match make. no clans, no lfg ingame tool.
pvp is still 3v3/6v6. same maps.
the NPCs still do nothing but wait at the tower and be useless.
prob just gonna pass. it's just the same game with a 2 slapped on it.

I think it looks great. Very similar, but I can see the improvements to the lighting and particle effects, and the environments are huge. Can't wait to dig in to it. I don't get the complaints about boss mechanics; as if the raids in Destiny don't deliver on mechanics in spades. Eh, you can't please everyone I guess. I'm in day one.
Their engine must still be a rancid piece of shit if 4v4 mp can't do 60fps.
no destruction, no environmental effects, heck even if it means taking the resolution down to achieve 60 ala UC4, te trade-off would be worth it.
Oh fuck off with this defense force bullshit. There's precious little in here that's actually new, a single fucking subclass are you fucking kidding me?
I mean WoW upgraded graphics over xpacs does that mean we're playing WoW 5 now?

Its too bad it doesn't contain all the content from the first game.

Hell. No.
Gears 4 gives me a fucking headache with its bullshit fps split between PvE and PvP.
I much prefer game-wide 30 than half 30 half 60.
Your opinion may have been able to make a case if you had watched more than a slideshow, judging by your knowledge of the game so far.
In no way do the classes play "exactly the same" as in Destiny 2, with the closest one being GunSlinger, it still acts drastically different compared to the first installment. There is gameplay out for both a Strike, and some PvP. I suggest if you were trying to make a proper aurgument, you may wish to watch those to make your case.
How are you switching between PvE and PvP so much that this is an issue?

Because I love Horde and I love multiplayer.
Playing Horde after multiplayer is genuinely painful on my eyes. It's horrendous.

Based on the strike and PVP videos in the last few pages, does it seem like the combat pace is a little faster than what it was in D1?
Well if you play Horde and Versus it can be a bit annoying. Maybe I'm different but I got used to the transition very easily.

From what I've seen the graphics look way better than the first. I don't know what people are missing when they say they look the same.
I'm eager to see some Scorpio footage so I know which version to preorder.

Looks like it's slowed down. especially Titan skating (RIP)

I play Destiny a ton on PS4 Pro and Xbox one on a nice big 4K tv and what I saw today was very very much a better looking game!

Looks great! I'm really excited to play it. Can't wait to join the inevitable PS4 GAF Clan!
This might be the most hyperbolic thing said in this thread yet.
Blade dancer is reskinned and functions almost exactly the same. GOlden gun you said it. The warlock ability gives them a sword to throw their sun grenades out of now. Titans get a Captain America shield which looked like the most distinguished ability. I haven't watched the PvP but the strike looked like destiny 1, through and through.
You're absolutely right. Most of Destiny's Strike bosses boil down to spamming attacks while you run around an arena evading it and killings mobs. Some of the better ones have additional mechanics to them like the TTK Venus Strike but those are few and far between. Unfortunately, they always reserve their creative boss and mission encounter for the raids.

Damn that was fun as hell looking. You had a couple puzzles, the blade section. Really like that the boss fight changed up the play space at times.
I mean, people are pointing out the (very clear) differences and improvements, and you're basically just going "nuh uh". Calm down

You must have missed the memo: Either you loved the shit out of that presentation, or you're a troll who's never played Destiny.

1. The guns have been altered slightly to improve on what was poor in D1, In vanilla destiny the gunplay was considered the better part of the game.
2. You'd be changing up the whole lore and shafting D1 if every super was new.
3. We haven't seen the raid.
Seriously?
I really want to see Control and Rift with the new 4v4 setup.
He's trolling.

I hope so :3
I could easily say "Either you hated the shit out of that presentation, or you're a sucker who's still being duped into buying this garbage" based on many of the responses in this thread, and they'd both be bullshit that served no purpose other than to provoke people so how about we just not do that
