Loved the way Destiny 1 evolved based on community feedback, so I definitely don't mind buying the PS4 and PC versions to play with friends on both sides of the spectrum.
No cross-save, no double-dip. I've managed to sway enough people to go PC for the game not to feel like I'm missing anyone from my friends, especially when PC performance is so far ahead of consoles.
People other than the license-holder can play downloaded digital titles on the console designated as "primary", but only the license-holder can play the game on other consoles. Only one console can be designated as primary.

Who needs more than one copy? Especially when saves aren't cross compatible. Gifting a copy isn't double dipping, it's when you buy more than one for yourself.
May get it on PC. I don't know... was worn out on Destiny 1 before the expansions even came out. Tried the beta for 2 and seems more like of the same.

Same here, having two sets of gaming buddies, one of which played and loved the PC beta, I've already preordered on both..
Part of me is extremely tempted to punch in an amazon preorder for ps4 then just sell it off when the PC version lands. The two-month gap fuckin sucks. But I don't want to lose all my stuff when I change platforms. The smart move is to just wait and enjoy it fresh on PC.
oof. At least there's the Dragonball beta to look forward to
this month.

Why on earth would you post ITT about how you're not getting the game at all
Don't halfass that kind of shitposting please
Go into every OT and every thread about every game you're not buying and let us know, okay?

I'm in the exact same boat...
A little over a month and a half is a long time, and I know I'll miss out on that initial excitement phase. Then you know, what if PC has issues, my group falls apart/quits/bails. What if the sky falls.
Tempted because most friends are on Xbox (I'm getting the PS4 version) but I'm planning on Shadow of War and South Park.
I'll keep it in the back of my mind in case D2 gets content drought along they way.
Definitely double dipping if the Xbox1x ends up looking exactly like the PC version minus the 60fps.

My only question is do I want to play it on XBOX at release or wait until the X? Idk
I might do.
I played the PC beta and really liked the feel of the game running at a higher frame rate.
However none of my friends play on PC and now I've gone from having the majority of my friends on PS4 to it being close to 50/50 with the Xbox One (or will be close to 50/50 when the Xbox One X is out) so I am not sure what platform to get it on.
It was much easier last gen as I never had a PC and all my friends had 360s.

Between Divinity Original Sin 2 and the Warframe open world expansion speculated to be dropping right before Destiny 2, I don't even know if I'll be picking up Destiny 2 on PC at release date. Not to mention everything surrounding Destiny 2 in October/November.
I'm not supporting "double dipping" practices either. Stop encouraging this nonsense.

No need to double dip. Ill patiently wait for the PC version.
Imagine buying the PS4 version plus paying for ps plus just to play a Game Ill be restarting in a months time? Lool no thanks.

Well, you can trade/sell the PS4 version and you'll get a few "free" PSPlus games to boot.
Not a no brainer, but also not bad value for many.

Thats a serious waste of money an ps plus games are crappy for one and also you lose access to them once you end your subscription. And Im certainly not interested in starting a character building him up only to have to start again lol pointless endeavour.

It could be a waste of money but if you're excited for the game it may be worth it.
Not really the thread for PS plus debates, but the games are pretty good value, particulalry recently.
Can't disagree with starting a new character. The only way to justify it would be to stick with 1 class on
PS4 - and then create the others on PC to prevent too much progression loss. But a loss regardless.
Yes I would because I get to:
1) Play the game almost 2 months early
2) Play the raid when absolutely nothing is known about it, not even a chance of bumping into a random spoiler. This is an experience you simply won't get if you dont play it immediately when it launches. Even if you try to avoid spoilers until PC launch, you WILL end up finding something about it if you are even a bit involved with the Destiny community.
3) Play with several of my friends from Destiny 1, a majority of whom are not switching over to PC for Destiny 2. And the few who are...are double dipping meaning until PC launch they'll be playing with me as well.

I'd wait for the reviews before even dipping.

Me and a buddy of mine were waiting for PC. Then today rolls in and hype gets the best of him... I'm getting weak hands now. Damn it.

nah, games enough of a slog raising 3 characters, let alone 6.
I'll stick to single dip PC

Got the white PS4 Pro coming Wednesday and had MS credit so will probably play on the X too once it's out.

I bought the physical edition on XBOX, in case I want to play and fully commit on PC.

I totally would if it was possible to play the same characters on both machines, but I'm just going for the PC version. Its going to be tough waiting for it to release once the console versions are out though.
They've had it figured out - platform holders are the problem.

Yep. But not like you think.
I'm getting on Xbox One and PS4. Friends play on the former, exclusive content on the latter.
Oh and if you know me, you'll know I'm a Destiny addict. There's that too.

Well, I just went and bought it for PS4.
I'm thinking I'll pick Warlock class for PS4 since in Destiny 1 I played both Titan/Hunter. This'll help me decide what to do when the PC version comes out. I don't hate Titan class but just never really planned on going for it. I was always going to go Hunter but maybe if I enjoy the Warlock I'll go with that. Hey, I might even dip my toes into Titan too and see exactly what's changed.
Now I'll also get to play the exclusive strike. It's not exactly worth double dipping for on it's own but whatever. I will be able to play it while it's new. Now I don't need to worry about waiting 7 weeks for PC version and can experience the game at the same as everyone else. It sucks about lack of cross save and having to start over again but eh I guess I'm just using the PS4 version as a warm up. I'll settle into the game and figure everything out so that when PC comes out I'll hit the ground running. Come October 24th I'll ditch PS4 version and play mainly on PC.
