This is satire, right? Activision releases basically all their multiplats on PC.
They've released more PC games than console games.

My guess for the cursor based menu selection is for easier control(with analog sticks and all)not because it's tailored for PC integration but that's just my 2 cents.
Because you move that circle around (ya know, like a mouse cursor) to select options instead of the console familiar up and down to highlight and select the next option. It's the exact thought I had in my head when I first played it. In most pc games, that is how you navigate the menus, by clicking on shit.

Blizzard must have a lot of uncomfortable meetings.

Even the strongest sarcasm detector on the internet would have had trouble hearing it in what you wrote.
It was too short and simple to see any sarcasm purely in the words, and the opinion that console games on PC are ruined because of hackers and cheats is not uncommon enough on its own to be immediately seen as a joke.
Gamepads are objectively worse than KB&M for FPS. Two players of equal skill, one on KB&M one on pad, KB&M wins.
Destiny 2 on PC would be glorious.

Well, for starters you move the point-cursor around as if it was a mouse.
When I played, everytime I touched anything to do with a menu I wished I had a mouse to make it not feel so pointless and clunky. It just doesn't seem like someone would intentionally make navigating something that you are constantly interacting with so slow unless it was designed for a different system. It would make sense if you had a mouse to move that cursor. Makes zero sense with a controller.
IMO of course.
Well that's probably true. It just feels clunky though and I know it'd be a perfect fit for PC.
That's literally all of my reasoning to be honest, lol.
They were PC/Mac only until Halo.
Their last internal PC release (if you count Bungie West as internal) was Oni. Halo PC and Halo 2 PC were outsourced.

You know people have hacked in console games before right?
I hope this was a joke post.
That's what i think is going to happen.

Bungie has trouble building the game for 4 plataforms. Includibg pc isnt going to help.
Game is ace tho. If it doesnt come to pc, i hope you guys find another way to experience it.

I think there will be a Year One collection. Some gear uses that term in the perk menu....
Myth, Marathon a few others. They were entirely PC based before halo.

I don't know if Destiny 1 on PC is even worth it.
With the amount and quality of the content it has, coming to the PC base that is used to and expects higher quality in many of the concepts that Destiny introduced to console-players...
Especially after the critical reception of Destiny. Better off just trying to bring 2 to PC if/when it comes out.

If anything, I'd probably expect something like a DX12 version of MCC collection getting announced at E3 instead. But yeah, if they like money, they'd probably at least eventually release Destiny on PC, since they've probably already made a lot of the money they were going to make on consoles by now.

At this point I'd be surprised if it ever released on PC.

I did this for The Last of Us and Destiny to play with some friends. PS4 is a good console but it really doesn't offer much to anyone with a passable PC.
Think that's the Xcom 2 thread.

GOTY edition for PC revealed at E3...
Can't see why it wouldn't. Would probably sell very well and I'm not aware of any exclusive contract.

I really don't see why making a PC version would be a *bad* idea, in any way whatsoever.
Still, I don't see it. It makes me sad.

lol, what the hell is this? Why is everyone so sad? Why does that monkey with the mustache duck out of the frame?
I MUST KNOW THESE THINGS.

I'd be pretty stoked if it did. More then 30fps would make it a lot more fun for me.
The hatred against destiny is hilarious. Stay classy master race

Thought this would be a game that I double dip when I got it on ps4 "first", but I got bored with it after 2 weeks

I'm just imagining running Destiny at crazy resolution / DSR'd 1080p... that art design, at a locked 60fps...
But also, no. I hope they bring Des2ny to PC, however.

No. The leak is for dlc in sept. Will probably be a disc based expansion.

I've been skipping the DLC on PS4, but I could be convinced to double dip on a PC version. Your move, Bungie.

His post wasn't that unreasonable. Sure it had attitude, but when you're gaming on PC, you're bound to acquire some.

It will. Probably near the release of the second one.

Yeah, this is an interesting thought. No matter how quickly it dies it will sell reasonably well in the first month.certainly enough to be worth the effort. But could doing so hurt the brand? I think it could but I'm not sure I think Activision does.
I think Activision sees another 1-2 million in sales and pulls the trigger.

Do you think they'd even come close to that? I don't.
Given the whole gameplay DLC loop of Destiny I don't expect it to hit PC. They want you to max out, play the end game, come back for the DLC, loop. A delayed release which would already have a lot of that loop irrelevant doesn't make a lot of sense for their business model.
Maybe once they've moved onto full efforts for Destiny 2 and the DLC loop has ended. But I think they'll just start with Destiny 2.

im surprised it didn't in the first place tbh.
Well, the titles you just mentioned are 15+ years ago.

I don't see it mattering much until Destiny can release something that's actually worth even calling an "expansion" by PC conventions.
There's not enough there, there.

It's from the Donkey Kong Country animated series but, I have absolutely no idea what episode it's from.

Just because reasons.
That's the first thing that came to mind haha, Bungie's feelinsg are probably already super hurt by the console population's criticism, having the PC crowd with their higher standards have a go at it too would be brutal.

Are Bungie's feelings really more important than money though? Porting costs are really going to be minimal as most multiplat games are developed on a PC platform anyway.

What a wonderful addition to GAF you'll make.
I don't see them releasing on PC. And as much as I would love to play Destiny at 4K, 60fps, etc. at this point I and all my friends are so invested in either PS or MS ecosystems that it's hard to fathom starting over again on PC. Though it would be nice for gamers that don't own the console.
