I'm excited for Destiny 2, but Forge of Hope is a crappy name.

Bungie please don't do this. The best raids are the ones that require real cooperation and coordination (VoG, KF). Not glorified strikes like Crota's End.
Definitely, especially with the achievement books they've got keeping track now.

I am fine with characters not crossing over to the sequel but there definitely needs to be some kind of reward for players who have 3 characters with max gear and level. You can't just scrap characters and not create some kind of incentive for people to start over.

The Destiny universe is too fucking confusing. I was hoping they would make it a bit simpler. Nothing ever really made sense or felt important.

no issue with starting a new character. 500+ hours between years 1 through 3 on the first game, I whole-heartedly welcome starting fresh in Destiny II.

If No Man's Sky didn't take the title, i see Destiny as this generation's biggest con job.
I desperately, desperately want to love the game though. So i'm going to wait to give Destiny II a shot.

I'll wait for him to comment. He's the definitive source on Destiny rumors IMO.
This also sounds like bullshit to me. It sounds like a mix of random stuff thrown together with the already confirmed leaks to make it seem more credible.

I disagree. All the raids were great. The only thing that made them 'difficult' were the bugs. The fucking bugs and glitches. They needed to fix those faster than they did.

It's also ended up this gens greatest success story.
Con in what way? Vanilla Destiny didn't underdeliver anywhere near to NMS level. Then they began to fix it all up with the expansions.
This too

kinda sucks you cant transfer your progress, at the very least the cosmetic items would have been cool

Reddit has been on point in the past though.

If bungie can keep the pvp separate and let me earn all the weapons cod style or something, then I'll be all in on a sequel. Otherwise, ill probably be steering clear of this.

What does that even mean? The post is from a new account with exactly 1 post.

I've had hundreds of hours of fun over 3 years with Destiny, so I guess I got conned really hard.

Again, I wouldn't be shocked if November is the only viable month for it to be finished in time to make it in 2017.

Do they even compete?

They compete to enough of a degree that it's probably a bad idea to release them a week or two apart from each other. But they may not have a choice if Destiny can't be finished until then.

I didn't raid often, but I agree with you. Crota was crazy basic. VOG is one of the better raids I've played and really requires your wits to be about you.
A con? That's rubbish. It was a bit barebones at first, but hardly a con.

In about 7 hours.
Agreed, That's the other thing I want transfered emblems and shaders to tranfer to destiny 2.

Honestly I might get Destiny 2 just because it's on PC. I stopped playing part 1 after the taking king DLC so it doesn't bother me much that characters can't transfer.

Did you ever play Halo 3?

Don´t draw too many conclusions from an unconfirmed (most likely BS) rumor.
If Crota assigned a random sword bearer every turn it would be a much different and arguably a far more interesting raid. That said, on hard it still requires coordination and timing.
He's right though, thats why Halo 3 had that name too
I don't think so. I think it's just shitty writing from the author of the rumor. We've seen no indication that Sony is going to do any Pro exclusive games and we don't know enough about Scorpio to make that claim either.
I really want them to de-link the PvE and PvP. I'll play the PvE, if only because every human I know buys the game, but the PvP is irredeemably bad. I don't want to be forced to spend another minute of my life forced to play it to grind for some exotic. Also, who wants to play a 30fps multiplayer shooter in the year of our Lord 2017?
perhaps it implies specific Pro/Scorpio boosts in graphic fidelity.
They are not splitting the userbase like that. The vast majority of users are on PS4 and X1.

Definitely. VoG is still the best overall raid they've done. I think the Oryx fight is the best single encounter in the game though. It just requires you to be so precise and on point for every second of it.
I feel the exact same way.

NMS and Destiny are quite far removed, but it's still the closest disappointment i can think of. The design of the game was just weak to me. Bullet sponges everywhere, ridiculous RNG, lazy campaign, all of the narrative is on a website datalog, ect ect. But it's coming from a company that i would never expect to have such pitfalls, judging from their previous FPS games until that point.
Con is strong word, but i guess i was just expecting something a bit more from Bungie.
I think where I really got pissed off at Destiny and just knew i'd never play again is when they started nerfing PvE weapons for the sake of them being broken in PVP. Like, why...how is this required? Final Fantasy XIV is a PvE centric game and even they manage to give PVP-specific abilities and skill rebalances during PvP modes, and that's a game with like 12 unique classes with dozens of skills. But Bungie earned their stripes off competitive PvP experiences, so i don't see how this distinction could have been overlooked.
The experience just felt like Bungie had never even looked at a modern MMO before. Hopefully Destiny II will remedy some of this though. The premise of the game was interesting and the gunplay was spot-on.
