Kotaku Sources: Destiny 2 coming to PC [UPDATE: Loads of extra info]

Holy shit. My mom came into my room to bring me a plate of chicken nuggets and I literally screamed at her and hit the plate of chicken nuggets out of her hand. She started yelling and swearing at me and I slammed the door on her. I'm so distressed right now I don't know what to do. I didn't mean to do that to my mom but I'm literally in shock from the news tonight. I feel like I'm going to explode. Why the fucking fuck is it a PC exclusive? This can't be happening. I'm having a fucking breakdown. I don't want to believe the world is so corrupt. I want a future to believe in. I want Destiny 2 on consoles. I cannot fucking deal with this right now. It wasn't supposed to be like this, I thought Luke Smith had it under control???? This is so fucked.

Trying to recall where this copypasta was from, I swear I've seen this before. Was it from the XCOM 2 reveal? Or Street Fighter V?

If none of the above, congratulations on forging a new GAF meme.

you're saying it like Bungie wouldn't add controller support considering most modern games, particularly shooters, already do?

In fact I'd welcome being able to play this with my 360 gamepad.
Yeah, I tend to use controllers half the time with PC games. I was also thinking about PVP as I play a lot of crucible. Titanfall felt great with a 360 pad on my PC. But, I eventually switched to keyboard and mouse as everyone else used them. I like Destiny crucible with everyone using the same input device.

Why is this a thing though? What was the original context?

It got me the first time I saw it from a Bernie thread.
 
Should've went with meatloaf. Everyone believes in meatloaf



Why is that?

Sony doesn't want to encourage PC as a platform at all. If they're throwing tons of money at Destiny exclusivity again supporting what is now essentially a larger part of Microsoft isn't happening. I mean I wish they would do some of their own PC support and storefront but they're going to fight it until the bitter end.

Would personally prefer if they just kept dropping good sized content packages. Destiny is the epitome of comfort food right now. Please don't treat it like a mom bringing chicken nuggets into your room Activision.

I have a feeling PC destiny would need crossplay or suffer a small community. PC players I doubt would really take to Destiny's dlc model.

Expansion packs and microtransactions were invented on PC and used by the most successful games on the platform, even today.

Destiny is an mmo (or lite), a very PC centric genre. Also, isn't Destiny dlc model basically expansions for an mmo that have been around in PC gaming scene for more than a decade?

There have been crossplay games between the ps4 and PC. Shooters included so...

Paragon
SFV

Paragon is a MOBA, you don't need precision aiming in that game. SFV is a fighting game and is 60fps on both platforms.

PC players aren't going to be happy with what Bungie considers an expansion pack.

I feel like it would be huge. The real question is if the port would be any good and if it'll be consistent with the console versions.

I'd definitely be up for D2 if it's cross play between PC and PS4. I'd probably shift to PC though at that point just cause i only play my ps4 for destiny now.

I'm curious to see how they will make a connection between D1 and D2 progress wise. It'd be nice to get some stuff that can mark you as a legacy player/carry over old exotics.

This almost got me, haven't seen this copypasta/meme before LOL
 
I still have a pre-owned copy of Destiny lying around, but without PS+ I can't play it right now and I'm low on cash. I was basically planning to smash through the base content and be done with the game, since I don't normally play console shooters if I can help it. Destiny 2 on PC will hopefully be way more up my alley, though.

You can play some of Destiny without PS+. None of the singleplayer stuff requires it.

This news is bittersweet. I'm still hoping and praying for a April-May release. I know it's unlikely but... there's a small army working on D2. Who knows..

edit. Got me!
Bravo!
 
This all sounds great to me! As long as characters transfer over, it should be brilliant, and the more people that get to enjoy this game the better!

As for the controller vs KB/Mouse and 30fps vs 60fps+ problems, I think if they just limited cross platform play to PvE and private crucible matches that would solve any issues with unfair advantages PC players could have. Would be a shame to introduce all those new players and not let them interact with the series veterans.

Ignoring the potential problems that would be caused by PC players having an advantage, Rocket League, FFXIV, and I'm sure a few others have PS4/PC crossplay.

You can't group up with PS4 players in Rocket League though, only play them in custom matches.

Awesome news if true. I played D1 for 2 weeks on a borrowed console and fell in love with it, but I'm not really interested in buying my own console right now, even for D2. Fingers crossed for PVE crossplay.

In most cases, players in Destiny are matched up randomly anyways, whether it's with the group finder or phasing random people into the same instance in a zone. I'm guessing you can't group up with players in Rocket League because the game uses either your Steam or your PSN friends lists, and there's no way to pull the info from one on the opposite platform.

Also, not sure how FFXIV does it, but it has it's own separate account system, so I'm assuming it has its own in-game friends list based on your FFXIV account, and not exclusively your PSN. I could be wrong though.
 
What about the first one? Unless Destiny 2 has it's own story set in a different universe or something like the Final Fantasy franchise does, a lot of PC players are going to have no clue what's going on starting the sequel.

Nothing notable happened in the first game though.

I'm one of those people so I'll keep that in mind. I do own the game on PS4, but I just never got around to playing it at all since I played FFXIV. I only own the base game, as well, but I heard Destiny's story was "eh" anyway.

EDIT: If I ever do get around to it before Destiny 2, I'll go through the base game and see what I think before thinking about The Taken King.... Maybe.

Don't worry PC gamers, we don't have a clue either
