There's an entire system in Destiny 2 designed to get solo players into raids with experienced groups.
you can preload D2 on PS4 already?
Nope.

Plenty of people here on GAF to raid with! Also, it's really easy to find beginner-friendly raid teams on Reddit and the100.io.

I won't.
I think this sequel is just uninspiring. I played more than 500 hours of Destiny 1, loved that broken game. Then I went away and came back to the Rise of Iron expansion. Had a good time.
Was excited to see what would they pull off with Destiny 2, but then it got internally delayed. Ok, that's fine, I'll wait.
With the final announcement that your original Destiny 1 character wouldn't be able to go into Destiny 2, I was like: "wow, they will really change a lot". My expectations? Sure, but they make it look like it would be something big.
So the reveal came out and dear lord, it's just the SAME THING. Sure, there are tweaks and supposedly some improvements, but I couldn't get away from feeling disappointed.
So no, there's nothing there that excites me. Gameplay changes weren't what I was looking for. And goddamn, it really looks like they're using cut content from D1 on D2. It sucks! And I really don't dig the art style of the EDZ, it looks like some old gen style, where everything was yellow-ish.
I dig this art style.
This is weird
Cut content from D1
D2
They're just trying to catch up. It's just sad for me. I can't really get excited, they tried to improve everything without changing it too much. For me, it's just an standalone expension.
D1 cut content vs D2
I know, I'm being way too negative. But i was hoping to get excited, see visible changes. And using the cut content from D1 really made it worse.

Does anyone know if I can buy a Destiny 2 PC code that came with someones GTX 1080, and redeem it for myself? I also have a GTX 1080 FTW that I bought last year.
I'm interested in playing on PC especially if I can get it for cheap. I liked The Taken King on PS4 when it came out a whole lot, my only complaint was 30fps and needing a PS+ sub.

That would be stupid. Better buy Destiny 2.

What did you want added that isn't there?
Curious, because these "1.5" posts rarely specify the actual elements they wanted from the sequel.

What system to you play on? If its ps4, id gladly play along side with you.
Wish I could go digital but my connection is so slow the download will take too long.
How many days prior is the pre load?

Brand new stuff, shake up the whole Destiny formular and not release a sequel that has mostly cut content from Destiny 1. They are playing it too safe to call it Destiny 2 imo
How about some new classes? only 1 new raid? GTFO
This could have easily been an expansion pack for Destiny 1.
In my eyes it's an easy cash grab from Activision, nothing more. But hey you guys be hyped for it and enjoy it.
Exactly.

Most people don't have any lists of features and thingies that needs to be in a sequel in order for them to be blown away. What matters is that for some people, what has been shown, is not enough to rouse interest because it looks like too much more of the same. That sentiment isn't invalidated if one doesn't have a specific list of things that the game needed. In turn, that sentiment doesn't invalidate someone feeling excited for the game. But take me for example, who only played the Destiny Alpha. If you showed me D2 and told me it's D1 I would believe you, 100%.

Not that I didn't already pre-order the Deluxe Edition on PSN right after E3, but oh well, see you guys there!

And now that has changed. Beta will still have to sell me on it for the purchase but I feel much more excited for it now.

The problem here is that Bungie showcased destiny 1 as one thing but it turned out to be something different from what they promised. Many gamers who bought the game felt somewhat cheated even though it was a good game(see Mass effect Andromeda). The excuse for bungie was development problems along with having to make the game for PS3 and xbox 360 which limited its potential.
So Destiny 2 was suppose to be the game that they originally promised and that means different things to different gamers (MMO, RPG, Action\shooter, MMO\shooter, etc.). Destiny 2 is not an RPG (bungie says its an action game. This has been mention a lot lately) so gamers looking for that will be disappointed. Some just wanted a better balanced game and some wanted PVE and PVP to be separated and so and so forth.
Also Bungie attitude toward destiny gamers has been bad especially sometime after it launched and bungie has been caught lying a number times. They would fix an exploit immediately but leave bugs that hurt the player in the game for months.
It has been a bumpy road for sure.

Too much of Bungie and Activision's handling of the series has been botched. It doesn't make any sense to buy it now. In a year I'll take a look at it if I don't have anything to play. I'm sure they'll have ironed out some of the issues and I can get the DLC for free in whatever they're calling the new edition of the game.

I enjoyed the hell out of the first Destiny, it was repetitive but I think it managed to bring players together very well. I'd play online with my former supervisor and a couple other friends, met some new friends too.
The problem being there is a tonne of good shooters up this fall Call of Duty WWII, Star Wars Battlefront 2. I may have to hold off on Destiny 2 for abit but yes eventually I will pick it up.

Probably not at launch, I did that with Destiny 1 and it wasn't a great experience.
Maybe 1-2 years down the line when there's more to do.

After paying 60 dollars to beta test Destiny 1 with the really short story mode, and the first 2 DLC's which had the same levels in reverse, i will wait until the reviews land and other Gaf users give their impressions.
Even though i enjoyed and played a lot of Destiny 1, and TTK was what all the DLC should have been like since day 1, no less true was the fact that Vanilla Destiny was a real disappointment and extremely light on content.

Anyone know if:
a) There is pre-loading for this game on Xbox One?
b) Is Best Buy opening at midnight?
I'd like to get this game buy I'd like to buy it form BB since I get 20% off. But Gamestop is starting sales at 10pm in Chicago so I may just do it there

Going to pick it up digitally on PS4. After 4 expansions my original Destiny disc felt so useless. Not going to bother with a disc this time around. Judging by how the PC beta goes, I may double dip. Not sure. I feel like every shooter I've tried to play on PC is filled with hackers. Maybe I just get unlucky or something. Definitely picking up on PS4 though.
Ugh don't remind me ):
Will be rough few months.
