I don't personally agree with the model of the latest dlc making the rest of the game irrelevant, but again (using d1 as an example), they'd miss out on maybe the first raid and set of light levels, but would still experience the same story and continue onto the next batch.
I don't seriously think that doing the same raids/nightfalls for 5 months* is "missing out" (and I played destiny all through TTK).
*Arbitrary number, I don't actually remember the length between expacs
And arguably, vanilla was the weakest point of the game in my opinion, that is.

I'll take The Dark Below and House of Wolves expansions over what the live team created in both Spring updates the last two years and in general would much prefer paid content if it amounts to being more significant/new/additional game modes rather than rehashed/updated existing content.
Waiting for the Passionate Declaration emote based off this https://youtu.be/lgOdBeojH9U
If anything, Battle.net being rebranded as Blizzard should have put such theories to rest.

Destiny is a GaaS game, meaning it will have tons of content that will be developed and release after the base game's release
Not that hard to understand.

Bungie already has a pretty robust website and app, I wouldn't be surprised to see them use that as a platform on PC.
Quantum Break comes into mind. Some of its performance and technical issues came from how Windows Store runs programs, e.g. exclusive fullscreen isn't something that is allowed. That caused performance drops for some users and there was nothing they could do about it.
Didn't it also result in QB having locked down .ini's etc. to users couldn't even do under the hood tweaking?
Do we have any sales figures for PC ports of QB (windows store), GoW 4 and Horizon 3? Could be interesting to see how well they sold, I know Twitch exposure for PC versions hasn't been great.

That box art is atrocious.
I think Activision fucked up by renaming it.
Battle.net is a name they could've use for their own client to put all games under one umbrella.

Only one we have any estimate for is Horizon 3 which is somewhere in the 200k range last I saw
Early VoG days and Y1 crucible was the tits, so I definitely disagree. But do whatever works for you.

Yeah, had it stayed Battle.net and their relation with Activision I would have thought that might be an option as a game launcher but with the name change to Blizzard that would be a very awkward and unlikely solution.

For those interested in Destiny 2 your experience will differ greatly if you decide to pick up the game after the first year because you want to "wait for all of the content."
I think most people will agree the best thing about Destiny was being in the first year and exploring and finding all of the new stuff together. By waiting longer you will have a harder time finding people that will play with you in this very cooperative focused game. Though if money is tight, I get wanting to wait to catch the game on a sale, but I'm not sure if Destiny and the DLCs were discounted by year 2.

Keep in mind Bungie has also had plans of rebooting Marathon. Like, serious plans about it. If that's still happening maybe they want to roll it into their own launcher as well
Lmfao bad translation.
Solar mantle. Probably like the capes the hunters use.
Didn't it kill itself by protecting Last City from Darkness? I know humanity and Warminds had plans about attacking and crippling Traveler in case it tried leaving, but if my memory isn't failing me they never needed to execute those attacks.
I doubt you will ever get sales figures for Windows Store purchases for GoW4 and Horizon 3 - they will always be lumped in as "XPA purchases" with XBox to hide poor sales numbers.
I will grant you Quantum Break was a bit of a mess, but I also think they shipped it for Windows before they had a good footing on the whole idea of making games for both XBox and Windows simultaneously. It's another reason why they didn't set it up for XPA. There's also the question of just how much blame should lie at the feet of the developers (see also: Horizon 3), because Gears 4 is a stunning example of a well performing PC game with tons of options and tweaks.

Yes on pc..Knew it was sort of a given so really happy to see a sorta confirmation
This'll probably use the Blizzard launcher.

I totally want to see how they handle hackers before touching the PC version.
Would hate for another Division situation.

No Taken King confirmed Traveler tried to make a run for it when Earth was attacked and Rasputin attacked the Traveler so it couldn't run from us

They just changed the name from Battle.net to Blizzard... why would they start putting non-Blizzard games on it now?
So they're Metroiding you basically. Now you must go on a mysterious journey to grind for currency for Xur's arrival on Friday because he's not going to ever sell that stuff again after week 3.

If that were the case why not keep a more neutral and well known name like Battle.net? The name change, to me, signifies that launcher is only for Blizzard games.

Lmao @ all the people complaining about DLC in Destiny. Destiny, the game that is still relevant until this day and has a huge playerbase because they supported the game with barely enough content to satisfy even the player that didnt play the game that much. Rest assured, the people that like Destiny are craving for 100x the content Bungie can ever provide, a game like this having DLC is quite literally a necessity and people are gonna use it to complain about the industry "being greedy" lol.

This also is early promotional box art so it very well could be on Steam still.
That said Destiny will likely be moving millions of copies on PC and I don't see why Activision would want to give 30% of that money to Steam over their own launcher. So I lean towards a Bungie client personally

So I remembered it wrong. I remember learning about lore that Warminds had created scenarios and plans to attack Traveler if it tried to bolt, but them / it executing attack plan is what I remembered wrong. Rasputin has gone little craycray since those days, but it preventing Traveler from leaving makes some sense as Warminds were created to lead defense of humanity and solar system. Rasputin forced Traveler to stay and fight, if it didn't kill Travel out right.
Basically The Traveler is a dick and he was gonna bail on Humans just as it did on Fallen if it wasn't for Rasputin.
I dunno but if I were Activision, I totally would do this.
Besides, it wouldn't be the first time Bungie and Blizzard have hooked up.

Yep.
I'm kind of hoping we'll get a ViDoc to go with the trailer. Probably asking for too much hope but I can dream

Or the app is renamed so Acti-Blizz has a uniform naming scheme for their PC launchers. Blizzard App for Blizzard games, Bungie App for Bungie games.

Are you bitching that there is a woman and a black man on the box art? Is it sarcasm? I can't fucking tell anymore. The woman and black man are directly behind the dude in the center, maybe 15 percent smaller by distance. What am I reading. This is so much better than the traditional "white dude with a gun" box art we normally get; what could they do that wouldn't draw your ire?
Does anyone know if you can buy all D1 DLC for a single price digitally, the way you can get all of them in a hard copy for $60? I'm wondering if I'd be able to hold off on getting the expansions until they release new content for D2 just in case the game ends up disappointing
Hmm, interesting. This and paracord being included makes me think the game will have some sort of survival focus. Those are both really popular items among outdoor survival types.
Yeah I kinda agree. It just seems a bit too generic bald space marine-y to me

Are you going to point out every box art that has a woman on it and yell "cus diversity" ?
Wrong.
This is hilarious. The Destiny 2 boxart is straight up garbage.
If Destiny 2 is as content-starved as Destiny 1 was then it's a problem.

Buying the game late you miss out on all the starting areas being FULL of guardians and fresh exploration/secrets. It's the best part of the game for me. Plus missing out on the best raid of the game is a huge price to pay to me. Playing a fresh raid is a pure destiny experience.

Destiny handles everything server-side. That'll make it really hard to hack. Like near-impossible.
We never saw hacks on 360 or PS3, and those consoles have been broken into for quite some time.
