I agree. I would have switched to a digital version years ago if there was a cheap way to do so. The vanilla disc doesnt even have any resale value so you're not even losing out on much.

I think we will see more later today.
Similar approach to RDR2 announcements. Also whent AoT drops there could be something.
Digital was pretty convenient for me, especially with how often I played the game. Definitely how I'm going this time around as well.
Going back to Destiny 1 for a moment, I was thinking it would be cool if the final step in the Age of Triumph quest -- the final quest for Destiny 1 -- was to replay the final mission from vanilla Destiny.
Albeit, with a few changes to surprise players like they do when they reintroduce a strike.
Would be a neat way to end the D1 journey.

I Dont think I want a teaser trailer, with just ghost saying a line and a number 2 showing up on screen, eh, if they release s trailer, let it be something we can discuss and pick apart for at least a month

When does Age of Triumph go live today?
They've already done that with the Khvostov quest in Rise of Iron though.
10AM their time, so 6PM GMT.
Update will be made available at 10 AM Pacific time.
Excellent, better than my gibberish.

If I was a die-hard Destiny player currently on Xbox, I would be scrambling now to get my friends/clanmates to switch to PSN. Only the most superficial things are carrying over, so it's as clean a break as you can get. We know there will be exclusive content as of this past Friday. There will probably be a Pro bundle (with a special edition console). I don't think there has been or will ever be a more ideal time to switch.

I think it would be great to go on a quest that ends with you being knocked out in an explosion and waking up at the beginning of the game again

Why? I would guess the folks who haven't switched yet still prefer the Xbox platform and also have their "Pro" console in Project Scorpio to look forward to later this year. Seems silly to switch due to some minor exclusive content for Destiny (unless it is going to be much more significant than what was offered for Destiny and it's expansions for Sony first time around) and pay $400+ for a bundle when Microsoft's next iteration on it's console is about to release near the release of the next version of Destiny.
Plus, the PC version will be an option for a lot of players if they have a capable machine without adding another online subscription fee.

Why would I want to change ecosystems for one game? Scorpio is coming, and I've got a great list of friends who I've played Destiny and other games with on Xbox for many years.

I hope this time Destiny 2 will support Arabic subtitle option at least

If any account movement does take place, I doubt that you would be allowed to go Xbox > PS4.
Then again, the stuff that carries over is mostly pointless (as far as we know right now).
Thanks, can't wait !

Hope it comes to PC on Xbox Play Anywhere with full crossplay. That will solve the community issue on PC.

I would triple-dip just to be able to play with all of DGAF.
No they didn't...?
The way I see it, Destiny on disc is deader than the dinosaurs as soon as they stop support and flip the switch on the servers. It's very much a game as a service, so digital is the best way to go since you won't be able to play this in 10-15-20 years without Activision re-releasing it.
MP only and games as a service games are where I go right to digital, besides super cheap sales for a license.
Ditto.

That is exactly what I did. I picked up Destiny on my PS4 because most people I talked with on twitter were getting it there. I made this choice despite my irl friends getting the game on Xbox. I have no regrets.

This would be great. Happily buy 2 copies if I could swap and change where I played whenever I wanted. Come on Bungie, get MS and Sony to agree to this!
I am talking about D2 itself. Something like GTA5 has but without the limitations on transfers.
I'd play at least on Xbox and PS4.

He means they made it very nostalgia heavy for when ghost first found you.

Nor should you have any regrets, same as I won't have by sticking with Xbox. Literally no bad decisions being made here. 👍
Just goes to show that there's excellent communities on both systems, and certainly will be one on PC as well.

Yep, Destiny feels more like a game client than anything else on console considering the amount of updates, iterations, and expansions hence why I originally would not have been shocked to not see a number in a major follow-up's title as I simply don't think it's needed especially with the Year 1, 2, 3 classification. This is in a different context though compared to saying the the number "2" is dumb or whatever as I couldn't care less what they call it I'm just happy a major release is around the corner as more Destiny is always a good thing.
That said, one final thing on the naming...it isn't like I referred to Destiny every time I spoke of it as whatever version we were currently playing like "Destiny: The Dark Below" or "Destiny: The Taken King" but rather simply spoke of it as the all-encompassing "Destiny" which I imagine a lot of us will continue to do. The only time the sub-titles would even come up would be when speaking of when they added/changed things, etc.
The ending would be you getting a yellow drop and Cryptarch decodes it into a blue.
Credits.

weren't the rumors telling us that destiny 2 is a new slate and progression will not move over from d1?

Bungie officially announced that exact thing a few weeks ago.
Destiny 2 is a clean slate.

He's talking about having two copies of Destiny 2 to switch between Xbox and PS4, but keeping all progress no matter which system he was playing on. Not carrying over progress from D1.

It really is absurd how long that part takes.
I mean progress on our new characters in D2. Silly G0SU.
