So this game is officially dead on PC right? lots of options, games with mods, steam sales, full backwards compatability and so on. I'm no mustard but with no D1 sunk cost loyalty PC players have been burnt out the gate and at 4,801 pc players left -so bad east coast americans are getting grouped with australians in a group by connection system- theres no way this isn't going full Battleborne on PC.

I played Destiny, a mate got me into it and besides being Grundy as all fuck it was fun to play with the three of us- but I can wholeheartedly say that if it weren't for the fact I was playing with friends I wouldn't have enjoyed any of it- I went on I think 3 times without them and had a muck around and tried to team up with random people to do missions and shit and they are the single most cancerous community I've ever seen in gaming: if you didn't have the correct "Light" level they wouldn't even speak to you, if you didn't have the "right" armour and weapons they wouldn't play with you etc.
It was like everyone was the most elitist pieces of shit over a game that was meant to be played with people.
I'm glad I never paid for it, and after having the limited time and fun with it I did I never even considered buying the sequel.

Should've switched from whatever forum you were hitting, even if it was Bungie's. Though I will admit getting a good team together is pulling teeth for an entirely different reason: ADD-laden kids and ragequitting faggots.
D1 in its final form is a gem with a cancerous-but-tolerable RNG grinding mechanic. Raids are interesting whether you're out to beat them or break them via exploits & cracking. PvP was its own mixed bag, and Trials was just shitty all around since there were only two viable strategies to win and both revolved around a gun with regen ammo (fucking Icebreakers).
But let's get to the cancer, and I don't mean the various yesmen on Reddit. The kids and the ragequitters. The game encourages some hours be put down to obtain anything of personal value–guns, armor, perks, filling out the class skill trees. And if you're not soloing anything, then you'll meet plenty of no goods who quit before trying to actually put down work and figure out the mechanics to a strike, or how to be a cohesive part of what's basically a 6-man puzzle. The kids are worse, hyped up on sugar and not being able to focus even if you held them at gunpoint.
That aside, you could do just fine rotating on the various Strike Wheels. It's raiding, arguably the funnest part of the game, that goes haywire thanks again to short attention span kids and faggoty drama queens ragequitting because they weren't watching for ads like they were supposed to. Guns were fun, some of the more stylized skills were fun, the good loot was genuinely good.
And then bungie took all that shit away in D2 and watered down even the PvP to a retards-are-people-too level. These results are not surprising.

I got the first game with the taken king expansion on my ps4 because I had nothing else to play at the time and I got really into it. The shooting felt good and the hand cannon was life, but everything after the taken king sucked ass. The raid on the moon was so fucking cool, man. The development team should have focused the entire game around 6 man raids like Crota, with unique drop tables and no leveling. Basically FPS monster hunter. The raids were super fun, the rest of the game was meh, to decent. Never even played 2 and Rise of Niggers looked like absolute cancer. The most important member of the iron banner is an Orc.

Sales-wise, the game exceed expectations made tons of dosh. Problem is, it was built with a 'play it for a while, put it down, come back' intent and people aren't coming back like we hoped they would. And some dumbass decisions were made in dev, but that's Bungie's part of it, not ours. The honeymoon is over and now it's time to fix the broken shit if we want the players to come back.

I've never left, OP. Although I think there are a few people who post pretending to be me. I don't post in all of these threads, and when I do it's just to correct claims of other anons who think the game is the next tortanic or something, which it isn't by any measurable metric. /v/ just likes to see high profile games crash and burn, and I'm sorry, but Destiny isn't going to be one of them. Not unless the expansion this fall is a total flop.
Gaming's in a weird as fuck spot right now, anons. The 'battle royale' genre is blowing up, but it's also leveling off way sooner than the ASSFAGGOTS did when they took off. Overwatch is close to going on life support, Star Wars games aren't selling, and the normalfags are content to drop huge amounts of cash in gachi shit mobile games. Strange days ahead.
