It'a not he who start the war. Someone in the post earlier really made a shit post and he is one of your "blizzard fans"
And that's why I think Destiny on battle.net is a good thing. This guy should really raise his taste of game.

Im still excited for it. Have been on a blackout and not paying attention to PS4 version.
Overwhelmingly Negative - Gae sits at 85 on MC
WoW's Warlord of Draenor expansion sits at an 87 on Metacritic and is widely hated by players. Most reviewers don't stick around to factor in the end-game.
I've never played Destiny other than the D2 beta, so i am still exited. Some of the cynicism here and on GAF in general is off putting, but as a noobie I look forward to the 60 FPS/1080p greatness. Even if I play it casually which is what will most likely happen, I think the overall package looks well worth the price I can get it for on GMG.
The gunplay in destiny is awful though...

I don't think the gunplay will keep the core PC playerbase interested. I always found the gunplay to feel really good on controller and while I think it still feels great on M+KB, I don't think it stands out as much as it does on consoles.

Stark example of subjectivity then, because for me and numerous others it's some of the best.

Everyone is obviously entitled to their own opinion but the vast majority wouldn't agree with you.
I'm still excited about D2 on PC because I didn't pick it up for PS4 - I enjoy Destiny but not enough to double dip. I picked up 2 digital deluxe editions (myself & significant other) on greenmangaming for $160 a few weeks back & still waiting for the codes.
What games have good gunplay to you then? Im really curious now.
Halo and Destiny are always praised for their great gunplay.

I am extremely hyped for it:
-I am a huge Blizzard fan.
-Also a huge Halo/Destiny/Bungie fan.
-Been into PC gaming my whole life. I have a very capable rig.
-The beta was hot sex.
-Double-dipped on X1, leveled my guardian to 20 and completed the story. I enjoy the game itself.
-IRL friends play on X1 but we are rarely able to be online at the same time.
-My life has been busy during these launch weeks and everyone has surpassed me in power and I'll have a second chance to keep up with the community in terms of power at PC launch.
-Going to lean on GAF to make new friends and find people to play with on a regular basis

Those are the reasons I cant wait for destiny 2. While some people don't like the current end game content, I was having a blast playing just the PVP alone on the PC beta (reminds me of halo). While there are flaws with the game, I have faith in Bungie to fix some of them. I also have a group of friends getting it, so every activity will be a blast

it's not awful, but on PC it has to compete with the best gunplays that exists. So the gunplay is just good in a ocean of good gunplays
This is what you call an extremely unpopular opinion

I'm going to have a gaming PC again (last time I put one together was 2000), and I'm going to play Destiny with friends who have never played Destiny before. I'm pretty stoked.
You're correct in the sense that a lot of the appeal of Bungie's games since Halo: Combat Evolved has been owed to their excellent design around aiming and console controls. That doesn't really provide an edge on the PC unless you're playing with a controller. However, I think when people say that Destiny has excellent gunplay, they also mean that it feels good to shoot shit, which is also due to the game's readability, feedback, and the sounds and sights of defeating combatants in spectacular ways. There is a lot of competition in the action shooter genre, but Bungie still makes games that look, sound, and feel special, and I think, at worst, some portion of that will carry over to PC.it's not awful, but on PC it has to compete with the best gunplays that exists.

I'm not really hyped but I do look forward to it. I found the beta super solid and looking forward to putting some time into retail. Already bought and paid for but now realizing it will contend with Mario for my playtime... The delayed length of time just seems kind of crazy for a game that seemed completely done on PC back during the beta.

I have got my worth already to be fair, Was gonna double dip and go through it with a couple of friends on PC, But done the content already, Got the armour, Shaders, Exotics i desired. Don't now see the point to do it all again, But we'll see closer too the time.
They aren't connected. You will have to start a new character on PC.

I was thinking about saying, "screw it I'll get it and if I'm really disappointed like I was with the first one then I'll just wait for the eventual changes they make to the game" but I started playing Warframe again and I've gone from day one to getting it eventually.
Warframe seems to be wanting to copy some things from Destiny but it's free-ish (I paid five bucks for platinum) and I can play it when I feel like it. I played for an hour or two and got crafting materials and started crafting a new gun. Then I stopped playing and went back to the game when it was done crafting or when I felt like it again.

Kind of agreed. I always went for headshots and after awhile, the overly generous auto aim felt like the game was on training wheels, I was playing a game tuned for 5yr olds who are just learning how to use a controller. Not challenging.

Yeah but on the other hand seeing its current state and what I can hear from my friends who stayed on PS4.... Destiny 2 in general need more work. If we're lucky we'll get those improvements day one on PC.
23 more days! Still pumped for this even though there has been negative responses on the end game for console.
Heres some PC info from some tweets from the PC Lead:
DLC comes out the same time on all platforms
Console patches that have come out already will come out with PC launch as long as they seem right for PC
Raid info, trials, etc... will be announced closer to release date

I'm excited for it. I didn't double-dip, so I'll be going in fresh on PC.

I really enjoyed Destiny 1. Easily my most played game of the generation so far. It just hits the spot for me. Ive got a good buddy of mine who I get together with and we play this game. We chat and just have a good time while shooting aliens. Im gonna pick up Destiny 2, because Ill play it the same way, and hopefully for the same amount of time. Its a blast.

I really wish they'd implement cross-save. Not cross-play, just cross-save. I'd pay for it even.
Expect similar if not tad tighter timings on that stuff that consoles got. They need ram PC crowd through Vanilla content before 1st DLC hits in early December.

I goddamn hope so. If they keep staggering the PC behind every release then there's gonna be a lot of unhappiness.
I dunno. Games like WoW kind of helps you get used to shitty, unreasonable raid mechanics. I think the PC MMO crowd is all hardened and shit.

I have a lot of friends who are getting it on pc but after playing on xbone i dont think i want to buy it again lol
How so? Raid in D2 is basically Vault from Borderlands this time around. Which while disappointing serves its purpose and I doubt it will be huge issue for PC crowd.
I doubt anyone is expecting WoW raids here.
Well lead has at least established that all content releases going forward will be synced across all three platforms. That is why I expect PC to get Vanilla content with tad tighter schedule so they get it all out there before December.
Beginning from PC release date that is.

Didn't seem like getting through most content and getting max gear took people that much time though. Plenty of people seems to have hit that point in 2-3 weeks?
If you are HC grinder and have time to dedicate to it you will hit current max PL (305) in few days. You don't need raid or ToN for it.
Question if there is enough content at release is up for you to decide for yourself. If you have concerns fire up some D2 streams and watch.
Because many PC gamers actually have experienced raids proper. I doubt they'll be thrilled about the three mediocre puzzle rooms that classifies as Destiny 'endgame'.
As D1 vet I was disappointed to see D2 raid. VoG and KF were excellent raids and what I expect from Destiny raids.
Still D2's raid does it job and like I said I imagine PC people will approach this more as Borderlands than WoW when it comes to end game grind.

Anyone know what time the Blizzard app will let us launch Destiny 2 on the 24th?
Will it be the middle of the day? Or early morning?
