Destiny: Rise of Iron Trailer leak.

Here's a better picture of the Gjallerhorn page so that you can see the bottom text. Apparently pre-ordering give you a quest which then rewards you with the Iron Gjallerhorn, and I'm not sure if that's better or worse. If they make the mission insanely difficult so that you feel like you earned the Iron Gjallerhorn and then just make the mission a timed exclusive (one month or less) then give it to everyone, I'm fine with it.
Edit: when I say a difficult quest, I think of the Thorn exotic bounty from year 1. A long, multi-part mission spanning PvE and Crucible, culminating in a super difficult version of a strike with an extra boss at the end.

Pretty sure it's going to be a semi-challenging questline that gives you the ghally. Just giving you a guaranteed direct path to it.
Definitely sure they're not going to hand it out to everyone for free after (otherwise what's the point?). It's just going to be in the rng loot pool/xur per usual.

Nothing is "insanely difficult" in Destiny, not with a good fireteam.
Wasn't there something about Bungie's engine that made it inflexible and difficult to develop new content with? I could be misremembering but I thought every little change required hours of compiling/loading to test. Then more hours to make adjustments again.

Digital pre-order FTW.
I'm a nut, gotta have the physical for my Destiny collection. PS4 - physical, Xbox One - digital.
Yup this is true. The engine is totally fucked. Maybe they alleviated some problems, but it's definitely not where it should be.
I'd rather have Destiny 2 honestly. But Bungo gotta fulfill that DLC forecast for Activision.

Does is mention 360/PS3 at the end of trailer?
I thought Horn was already nerfed to all hell ;-)
Correct, but I wanted the replica strange coin, steelbook and some of the other goodies in the box.

Hope we get a collectors edition announcement today.

That voiceover sounds so much like the goofy voice Chris Remo puts on when he's making fun of self-serious video game stories on Idle Thumbs.
I hate to say it but I'd throw money at the screen.

Than why didn't you ignore this thread?
After loving destiny since day 1 I think I'm done for now. Nothing in that trailer seemed really interesting to me. It seemed inconsequential and not really anything worth the significant time investment destiny always is. I'll be in for destiny 2 but for this I think I'll skip it.

Ehhh, idk... about this one. Didn't quite grab me other than the new Raid. Need to see more of it. What times the stream?

I wonder if there will be a physical copy like TTK. I definitely want to pre order for my boy Gjally
Destiny 2 according to Kotaku.

Seriously, glad you took the time to tell us how you're not going to play Destiny! Thanks kite!

Well Xur sold Gally the week right before TTK launched. It doesn't matter.
40 is the price for full games too...
Why didn't you ignore his post? People can't give negative opinions, everything has to be full of happy shining rainbows.

I haven't played Destiny since Christmas 2015. By that time I was pretty much done with TTK content and had long since burned out on the original stuff.
That being said, I really enjoyed TTK and thought it was totally worth the $40 asking price. If "Rise of Iron" is as good or better than the TTK, I would actually look forward to booting up Destiny again.

TTK was almost the size of vanilla Destiny. It kinda was a full game.

It's the epitome of shitposting and does NOTHING to contribute to the thread or further any kind of discussion.
Eh, I'll give you that.
Court of Oryx was a fucking bust though. After week 1 it was a ghost town. Relying on the dynamic world matching was not the choice.

Making it optional? Sure. But no way in hell do I want forced matchmaking in story missions, I like to go at my own pace.
Yup. Methinks this will be like the Red Bull codes were for TTK: you get early access to the questline and it becomes available to everyone later (Jan 1?) so everyone gets it regardless. At least the type at the bottom also says it's not an exclusive to anyone.
If there's one thing they could learn from The Division, it's got to be optional matchmaking.
Select activity from the Director, then press Triangle to begin matchmaking. Simples!
I mean it worked at launch, offered an excellent multiplayer experience, and Vault of Glass was legit one of the best things in any game that year. Better than a lot of games can say.
It just happened to also have a barebones campaign that felt massively underwhelming compared to everything else Bungie has ever done, because they scrapped it before launch and tried to reorganize what they had done.
Yea, the ability to MM into anything in Division was great.

That really depends, there have times when it was barren but trying to do Tier 3 fights with randoms is always a crap shoot. Other times I have gone to Court by myself and after a bit there were 6 people there.
But I have all the fragments so I don't go there anymore. Grinding for 335 artifacts isn't fun.
