It's gonna be a Rockstar, they'll just let you launch through steam or whatever and then launch through their own thing.

Not bad at all. Hopefully it looks that good in-game.

oh dear another launcher.
game changer, goty confirmed.
Reading your post and seeing your avatar just made me think box art of Kojima games. Generic dude with gun or without gun in basically all of them.

Either an Activision Launcher or the Blizzard Launcher will update to Activision Blizzard launcher.
Or that.
D1 is the game that led me to swear off preorders altogether. The fact that they're releasing it with the same launch game, DLC1, and DLC2 package makes me cringe. Definitely doing the Amazon purchase and cancel for the beta invite.
Still my favorite Destiny boxart
Staying away from Destiny 2, however. I'm going to wait until their year 1 stuff is complete, and then buy the collection/whatever they release.
You say until stuff is "complete" but the first year of content will become obsolete when you do jump in.
I don't understand tbh.

Didn't like 1 but liked the original ideas they had for it so cautiously watching. This news tells me im not getting it till at least a year after launch though. I figured they would have tons of expansions but eh was hoping for some better dlc practices.
Why pay $60+$30 when you can pay $40 for both a year later (is the general sentiment), which I agree with personally, but I'm reserving my comments until I see more of it.

Not going to happen on consoles.
Crucible wouldn't be that hard to have 60fps. PvE I understand because of the scope of it.
Because the first year of stuff is obsolete. Imagine buying Destiny when ROI or TTK came out. Anything from the first two raids are useless. Destiny is the type of game you want to get from the start and play it right through with each piece of new content to get its full potential.

Shinkawa's art stands out way more than just CG rendering though and always looks fantastic. I won't defend MGSV's boxart, that's arguably worse than Destiny 2 in its own way.
Like I said, you'll still be paying for the Year 1 content but that content will be obsolete, meaning you're paying for almost nothing as players have moved on to current and relevant content.
Therefore I don't see the logic in thinking you've saved money.

I felt so robbed for buying that, the expansions ended be bigger. Hopefully they've learned their lesson with this go around.

I would rather have to launch the game through steam that launches a activision launcher that then launches a destiny launcher.
Blizzard has it's own ecosystem and doesn't need to be cluttered with more bullshit and the backlash would be fucking insane.
I'm aware, but even to this day, if people buy Destiny: The Collection, they're likely to play through the story regardless of obsolescence.

I suppose that's true, but the story is such a small part of Destiny in terms of content. Maybe that will change in D2.

Everyone knows when games go gold its because the publisher is pulling their homework from them as they're scribbling their name on the top of the page, hoping they answered enough right to make up for the fact that theres no end.
Nothing's finished these days!

I'm such a sucker I'm......getting both
This game will sell millions of copies on PC...no way Activision allows Valve to take 30% of every sale.
The investment cost of building their own launcher will be well worth it.
Eh, destiny 1's content is just story, strikes and raids for PVE, plus PVP. There really isn't that much they'd miss out on. Crota? VoG? Meh. Plus, they're getting reworked anyway so you'll see them again once even if the content was obsolete whenever you started playing.

Activision allows every COD game on Steam, I don't know why Destiny would be different.
Because COD is dead on PC. Destiny may be not.
Issue being game also being on OG boxes along with Pro and Scorpio. Sony doesn't allow Pro players to get advantage over PS4OG players and I'm very surprised if MS allows that.
60FPS is big advantage over 30FPS in PvP environment.

Different service model. One can simply be a standalone game. This seems to follow more of a blizzard model. We will have to wait and see

Going digital for sure. Played D1 off and on for so long that there's no way I want to be discovered swapping lol. Sticking with PS4 version despite owning a beefy PC because the PC community will likely be dead AF shortly after release.

Yeah it's just I have the CEs for Vanilla and The Taken King so this will look awfully nice next to them. But I want a digital copy for instant access as well.
And there's a chance I may get the PC version too. Dear God Activision gonna bleed me dry

Oh yeah forgot about that situation. Will be curious to see if they dial down the res on the OG ones to try hit that.

If I had more than one platform, I'd likely be doing the same thing
We still haven't been to Saturn, Neptune etc.
Exactly. Where did people expect to go?

Yep. Looks like off-brand WH40k. The bland ass giant "2" doesn't help.

Barely announced and already filled with DLC and expansion stuff, leaving vanilla out in the cold immediately. I may have given it the benefit of doubt but the original vanilla was an incredibly lacking and empty experience.The Original Source is universodestiny.com but it got translated by someone on reddit.

Cayde-6 figure and collector's edition are exclusive to GAME in Spain.
At least there's a chance they will make it somehow interesting this time. It's not like Mars or Venus were not some generic earth setting. I don't think it matters if the planet is really outside our solar system if they are going to copy/paste mundane earth environments on them.
Windows Store exclusive.

They want to sell copies, friend. Smh. Not happening
Needs a hole to feed it through lol.
