/v/ - Video Games

The game will about getting and checking dubs, or in my case, trips

>>16552766

>how would /v/ make this game "fun

Delete it entirely and replace it with a better game.

>>16552785

the story could be anything you want so long as the idea of the gameplay is still the same

>>the game will be single player with optional co-op

Does that mean throwing out the pseudo mmo stuff? Because the shit that requires other players is the only thing worth a damn.

>>16552799

i'd keep the kinda-mmo stuff but change them to suit a single player game (less grinding and more over the top abilities since its not a mmo now)

>>16552794

Except the gameplay is the main issue with it. Loot based FPSes always suck shit because the loot is the worst part "oh wow I found this cool gun too bad it doesn't have the right 2 out of 900 perks, isn't max level, and is an awful base roll"

>story

make the darkness a more involved force of evil instead of mystery bait.

Remove all lefty characters.

Make the story more chaotic and fun instead of somber and dull.

Give the guardians more personality.

>gameplay

Make the raid bosses actually challenging instead of just a gook with billions of hp.

Make the planets one giant world with quests you can complete at any order and once they are completed you'll unlock the raid(or strike) mission of the planet.

Make stats actually matter.

Make ghosts useful and give them the ability to assist you in fights.

It's sad seeing bungie make the mess that is destiny 2 after seeing what problems people had with the first one.

>>16552876

then what can we do to fix it then?

>>16552908

Don't use Diablo loot systems or similar.

>but then there's no point to the looting part

Exactly, and that's why the looter shooter genre is so deeply flawed.

>>16552908

I mean you really can't either you have to completely remove the loot aspect of it, or completely homogenize the loot. On that note, having raids in a rng loot based shooting game is incredibly dumb. The leviathan raids were alright because they forced out pre-genned gear, but the second raid was abysmal because it was mostly awful shit that has a chance to roll it's raid trait.

>>16552876

>>16552908

This can easily be fixed, by letting you change the skin of one weapon with another, so you find a cool looking gun, but with shit stats so you take the skin/3D model of that gun and slap it on you best gun. This could impact PvP a bit, as it might confuse your opponents on what gun you actually have, but i doubt they can recognize your gun from the thousands that already exist in the game and from a distance of at least 10 meters.

Might as well went here. First off, the classes, Starting with hunters

>Standard three weapon carry limit, gets an upgradeable drone (fallen shank, to be exact) in place of their fourth weapon slot, acts as a companion

>Keep the double jump as standard, can be upgraded to triple

>Throwing knife on gunslinger melee, increased to a standard of 3 knifes at a time, add elemental damage

>Melee stab is just a stab, not a lunge like in the base game

The goddamn gunslinger lunge had a longer range than fucking blink strike

>Mobility affects hunters to a greater degree. Even the slowest hunter will always be faster than fastest titan.

>Gunslinger will be more geared towards handcannons and sidearms, being in the thick of battle

>Blade Dancer is the designated assassin sub-class, lots of invisibility, high movement, favours hit-and-run tactics

>Nightstalker is about debuffing the enemies, laying traps and sniping

Titans

>All titans are tanky as fuck. Even the least armored titan can take more punishment than the most armored hunter (warlocks are mages, they don't get armor)

>Slow as shit, but thems the breakes.

>On the other hand, four weapons at all times. Double rockets? Feel free.

>Strikers have a melee combo consisting of three punches and a fourth explosion, requires four presses of the melee button. Also the fastest of titans. Can aggro enemies just by being there.

>Hammerbros get a lunge with their hammer. Is all about battlefield control and heavy artillery

>Shieldbros tank, deploys shields and masters of cqb

Warlocks

>Finally living up to their namesake as magicians, has no armor whatsoever, but in return, has a shit ton of abilites to choose from.

>Can only carry two weapons, but gets more active abilites as a result

>All warlock melees can be charged to increase power

>Ark melee has the longest range, can chain enemies

>Solar charges to a flamethrower that lingers

>Void charges to an aoe blast

>Faster than titans

>High recovery

>Solarlocks buffs and heals allies

>Voidlocks shoot black holes everywhere

>Arclocks can make allies shoot faster while also stunning enemies, downing shields faster than other sub-classes

Exotics

>Rarer, each one has a story quest tied to it. No more pvp bullshit

>If you find a full armor set or multiple exotic weapons, feel free to use them. No "just 1" limit anymore, it's fucking bullshit

>Exotic weapons are much stronger than standard weaponry.

>The pvp dude will react negatively to you carrying the Thorn

>Relics and artefacts will impact your abilities, such as granting you a second upgrade to your jump, or a second or third teleport

>If it's exotic, it has some actual effects

PVP

>Seperate gamemode, does not interfere with normal play in any way

>Everybody gets access to the same weapons, same classes and abilities

>Its all about skill and teamwork

>Nerfs to pvp will ONLY affect pvp

I fucking hate pvp with a goddamn passion, so I honestly can do without this mode.

>>16552962

Story

>Game can be played offline no problem. Lan compatability as well as private servers, should you so desire.

>Change Savala and Ikora into a pair of caucasians of their respective sci-fi race (awoken and human), give them both hair, actual personalities

I imagine Savala as being a fatherfigure to guardians, worries constantly about his pregnant wife at home.

Ikora is a typical white hot teacher type, enjoys lecturing guardians who have questions for her. Probably has the hots for Cayde.

>Cayde is Cayde

>You can gamble with Cayde down in the city during nighttimes.

>Speaker will actually tell you stories of the past.

>Can visit his library and read books and anything story related is recorded here.

>Jaxx no longer has anything to do with the Crucible, as the crucible is a stupid idea and he is better off actually fighting. Not always in the tower, but when he is, is willing to trade various loot he found. Dislikes the Thorn exotic handcannon.

>Ghosts aren't just glorified dooropeners, now actually serves as a navigation system, a battlefield companion (stun gun shots, miniature shields, emergency first aid, etc)

>Players can now visit the city and wander among the populace down there. Activities include, but not limited to, streetracing, dancing, gambling, conversation, trading, minor quests, entertaining children, shopping.

>The ketch (fallen ship) on Venus is taken back to earth, now serves as a player house (and maybe a second gathering hub with some party games thrown into the mix)

>Can recruit certain fallen to work aboard your ship. They refer to the pc as Captain, and keeps the place visually clean.

>These friendly fallen will protect your ship and can be rewarded with cosmetic items.

>Add Palestine as a mission area. The jewish occupation force was decimated by guardians during the beginning of the Golden Age, not a single jewish guardian ever existed. Massmurdered, what few jews were left have mutated into a hideous chimera mixed of pig, spider and vermin. Guardians must exterminate these creatures, is rewarded with Nazi-style regalia and armor (ties directly into the transmog system)

Weapons

>More ammo overall for all weapons.

>Better upgrades

>Hand cannons live up to their name

Armor

>A fucking transmogrification system.

>More important overall, no longer any light system

>Has more effects

Enemies

>Better AI overall to signify various factions

>Fallen use hit-and-run tactics, will scatter if their captain is killed

>Cabal use military tactics, roman formations

>Hive are swarmers, makes more use of darkness effects and tunnels

>Vex are systematic and forward thinking, shooting their "heads" makes them shoot in random directions and wander

In the base game, if you destroyed a vex's "head" it got more accurate, stronger, and shot faster. Fucking stupid is what it was.

Add a companion system. Make yourself a waifu or husbando, romances limited by the player character's sex (male pcs can only romance female companions, and vice versa. none of that gay shit. It doesn't make sense within the story anyway). Your companion, once created, joins you in single player and fights next to you. Can pick their class and sub-class.

Not a complete list, but I think it would massively improve the "game".

>>16552954

The skin isn't even the issue. The problem is you may like how a gun plays, but it's just garbage because of how the game decided for it to roll, or the weapon type is just shitty see scout rifles

>game goes f2p partially

>this thread comes up

SURELY A COINCIDENCE!

What I hate about Destiny is that as a huge Halofag growing up (excited as fuck for MCC on PC), I find the actual combat to be fun as fuck. But the story and grind are just fucking garbage. It wasn't even close to the Halo MMOFPS I was hoping for. Thankfully I only burned money on Destiny 2 and its expansion passes and I played for a few dozen hours so I guess I got my moneys worth.

>>16552766

Actually make it a full game and don't cut it up and sell it to people piece-meal for full price.

>>16552785

/thread

I think the generic gameplay is just fine outside of some balance issues titans being braindead easy to play compared to the other classes, but everything around it needs changing.

>either remove RPG bullshit and make it a traditional shooter, or go all in on it, because it's currently in this extremely boring middle ground where it matters, but it isn't interesting in any way

>make the story into an actual story instead of the "i'll tell you later/read the internet book" from D1, or the bootleg marvel film D2 was

>get Nolan North to stop being a whiny faggot when he voices the ghost

>make the raids into actual tests of skill and not gimmick bullshit you have to watch 35 minute guides to figure out

>make a free for all competitive mode, instead of forcing people to play with 3 randoms against stacked teams

>jew your players much less overall

>>16553099 (checked)

what is that? please

>>16553178

If someone actually manages to get some devs to make a sandbox MMO that isn't shit from the start, I'll be fine if more companies show up to ask for advice.

yes devs, you should makes a 1 Year War multi-player Gundam simulator for the pc

Make the game third person because then I actually get to see that cool armor I collected all the time instead of just a few times per mission and marred with lasers and super particle effects

>>16552766

>Stop with the Memelands loot n shoot bullshit

>Have more powers on use not just some single super gauge crap

>Make talent trees more varied not just traversal shit or which element type your fucking grenade is

>Have the game world mean something not just an empty space, have some exploration, environmental story telling, let the world tell a story not just some daily mission bullshit for purple or orange jpeg loot

>Write a goddamn coherent story without cop-outs or memer reddit npcs that are stand-ins for YOU the player

>For fuck's sake, have customizable vehicles along with DOG-FIGHTING GAMEPLAY WITH YOUR GODDAMN UNIQUE SHIP

I just wanted a Halo-STALKER-Myth open world game with sci-fi mystery

>>16552766

>you are a magical space immortal resurrected by a mysterious ball of light that grants you literal reality warping powers

>You fight your enemies with…a gun

Doomed from the start, fpses are boring, you can't DO anything interesting with the gameplay, you can write all the crazy lore you want but it all boils down to shooting things.

If they had just made destiny a full on fantasy game like it was originally going to be instead of cod in space it might have had a chance

>>16553183

Urotsukidoji.

You want to make the game fun? Hire people who actually play video games and are not untalented cucks with shit opinions. "Fun is toxic" has probably been said within the studio walls because you pay Anita "Fucking Nigger" Sarkeesian to speak there, yet you fired Marty O'fucking' Donnell and then were so assblasted about it that you played yourselves by not releasing MotS out of spite and losing all of that revenue until the paywalled cashgrab vinyl edition was released, and now nobody has legitimate access anymore. What a shit studio.

Fuck you, Bungie. You are dead to the gaming world.

So why was this video games thread bumplocked without reason again?

>>16553636

There is like 10 video games threads that are bumplocked right now for no reason.
