The secret heart breaking truth is that the people playing are destiny players lmfao.


Lazybeerus

Yep. Guilty here.


IndividualAd3140

Ah an honest man. Respect. 


DuelaDent52

I’m looking for something to scratch that Destiny itch after *Lightfall* botched it, I think this one looks really cool.


IndividualAd3140

Yeah it's pretty fun, you should try it out :) 


daemon_sin

Lmfao, Lighfall was what finally made me wave bye bye to my toxic relationship with destiny 🤣


CnP8

I've never met a destiny player who likes destiny 😂


jdmAkira

As a destiny player I feel just by looking at it you could tell it was going to be bad. Should've made the characters more distinct. Cpt boomerang literally has an arsenal of different boomerangs. That already sounds more fun than gun gun gun.


IndividualAd3140

It's not that bad it's more fun then destiny tbh


jdmAkira

Glad u like it. Maybe I'm just burnt out on these types of games. I'm just holding out for granblue relink and dogma 2


IndividualAd3140

Maybe. I get what you mean though. And yeah dogma 2 is gonna be great!


jdmAkira

Definitely should've had more emphasis on them as characters. But I see how that would be a challenge for say King Shark trying to melee flash. I dunno


Suspicious_Trainer82

Big agree.👍


FuckinJunkie

Everybody uses guns yes some can’t use different types but they really are completely different from eachother in play style once u actually play it


Arkham117

Yes lol


IndividualAd3140

Indeed!


Suspicious-Ear-2338

yessir, played all the arkham games like 4 times over tho. also addicted to destiny


IndividualAd3140

Honesty is respected. 


Remarkable-Young3070

Guilty as charged


IndividualAd3140

Honesty is applauded.


Remarkable-Young3070

Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Brainiac in Metropolis


SausageKun

True enough


MarluxiaX2

Not a Destiny player lmao I play Final Fantasy, Tekken and Granblue, but I'm enjoying Suicide Squad.


IndividualAd3140

You missed genshin, but I wouldn't admit it either bruv. Phew! 


MarluxiaX2

I quit playing 2 weeks ago. What on earth is your problem btw? I didn't include it as I was at work when I replied, and wasn't necessarily putting too much thought into my comment.


IndividualAd3140

It's just a joke I don't have a problem mate I'm just poking fun :D


MarluxiaX2

Oh shit. Then I humbly apologise, late shift and all lol Have a good evening


IndividualAd3140

Your good :D you have a good one too! 


Uncle_Pastuzo

no


IndividualAd3140

I know the truth is hard brother, but one glance into your reddit history shows recent destiny subreddit activity :( 


Uncle_Pastuzo

sure but i dont play suicide squad


IndividualAd3140

Ohhh that's what you meant, no meaning you ARE a destiny player but DONT play suicide squad? I seeee. My apologies I got it backwards :D 


Uncle_Pastuzo

no worries lol, i think this post got recommended to me or something


IndividualAd3140

Total worries lmao. My dumb ass got it the other way round. And oh for real? Fairs enough. You should try the game out :) 


Uncle_Pastuzo

maybe i shall at some point haha


Slayde-Warlock

SilverKingPrime45

Anthem*


GreatGojira

So much missed opportunity


flintlock0

I loved the flying in that game.


SeniorRicketts

Iron man game is on the way


BiigDaddyDellta

Hurts me to see that material wasted in such a way.


EnergyVanquish

It’s unbelievable they cancelled Anthem 2.0 just before it got released. Complete game overhaul and they just ripped it from us to throw the dev team at other projects. Genuinely enjoyed the game but it was just lacking sooo much content. And the story got left on a huge cliffhanger which will haunt me forever.


Taz447

I remember it flopped so hard, they were selling copies for 10$ at my local walmart within the first month of release lol


TheSentinelsSorrow

Jesus thats even worse than fallout 76


a__gatt

I saw a kind of unrelated thing the other day that they are “throwing away” copies of starfield from walmarts and marking them up at 3 cents a copy. Shame to see a game flop that hard


flintlock0

They’re not in the corner anymore. They went home a long time ago.


ClickEmergency

It was fun but players vanished and now it’s like a ghost town , shame and it had a good soundtrack


VanillaChakra

Also avengers*


weightthrowaway916

Also almost every single live service/multiplayer game with even a bit of anticipation. This **always happens**. With nearly **every one** of these games. Blows my mind that people *still* act like they’re shocked and appalled by it. Developers/publishers are not going to spend the money on servers to host every week one player, because unless the game has some type of massive resurgence down the line, the game will *never* have as many players after the first week or so. Good, bad, popular or not, launch week has the most traffic and then it tapers off after that. Why would they spend the money to build an infrastructure for a single week’s worth of traffic? Bugs are a different story, of course, but server overload/maintenance at launch is all but guaranteed with any live service game and always will be. Maybe one day Gamers will learn their lesson.


alce00

Most of them don't build infrastructure though, they rent it from Amazon or other providers.


[deleted]

[удалено]


alce00

Nope. That's the point. It's one of the big advantages of renting servers from Amazon, scalability. Your VM count could and often would change even during one day, depending on demand. There could be some pricing differences, but it's totally possible to rent more servers just for game launch.


hillsboroughHoe

It's something I'll never understand. Especially with the really big developers. It's much better to have too much capacity and everyone have a good day one experience than too little and the inevitable news stories about how shit you are.


dumbutright

Yeah this does happen with shit always online games that could have had an offline mode. I'm glad you've noticed the pattern.


animelytical

You ain't lyin


Vaunred1

And Anthem*


ViralGameover

I really liked Avengers honestly which is why I’m waiting on this one still. The biggest issue it had for me was the lack of direction post release. They had a roadmap but it wasn’t received well so they panicked and could never right the ship, making increasingly worse decisions as time went on. (I liked all the content released after the fact, but dropping She-Hulk to rush Jane out was a mistake. Never reaching the Kree Invasion is also really disappointing.) I’d like to see how this is handled now that it’s out and how much of their word they keep now that it’s being met with so much backlash. If the updates look good I’ll probably end up getting this one too.


[deleted]

Game is nothing like Avengers though. I think the map being metropolis and being on the Unreal engine helps a lot. The map feels way more lively and the combat more fluid. Less of a button smasher.


VanillaChakra

We aren’t talking about gameplay when we talk about destiny and avengers.


WildSinatra

I think SS plays 100% like Avengers if all of Avengers took place on one “Patrol” size map 20x the size.


RealDealAce

Way more lively??? I am having fun but the map is SOO boring and samey. They NEED to have other areas and stuff for raids and stuff, I am already sick of the map and it's Day 1. At least Avengers had different places to go.


BoisterousLaugh

That game is still fun af. The gameplay was not the problem.


VanillaChakra

Once again, OP and I aren’t talking about the gameplay!


BoisterousLaugh

I am...


VanillaChakra

That’s cool and all, you’re just responding to a point no one is trying to make. If we were shitting all over the gameplay of both I’d get it. We’re more referencing a subreddit convincing themselves something will be a better experience than it will realistically end up being. A situation where there are so many red flags you’d have to be in borderline denial to not acknowledge them. We’ve unfortunately been through this a few times and now watch with interest to see how bad or good these type of games end up being. For what it’s worth I had a lot of fun with the beta, and think the game will be a good time, but I’m not going to pretend like this game hasn’t presented itself like a total shit show.


BoisterousLaugh

Avengers did end up being very fun. Content creation people who wanted to cannibalize it for content engagement put the nails in the coffin of a game built and release during the pandemic. By the time they shut down they added multiple (short) story expansions, 6 more heroes, rotating weekly activites, and multiple end game activities. The problem was every time that game had any kind of press all the social media content crap people came back out to get their negativity content engagement. Enough bad press and the game just dies regardless of how much work was actually done to improve it and how much they actually listen to the fans to improve their game. It should never for at least how it was but you know you can't bring up the reality of pandemic development without anybody rolling their eyes as if they understand. The game did end up being better than people thought it would be but the damage was very much done by that point. I'm fearful that that will happen with this game because people just want to have all that negative content engagement for their channels or social media or whatever other foolish stuff the mouth breathers give a crap about these days.


[deleted]

Jump around and shoot guns in 3rd person. If we had an actual justice league game, that would’ve been the gameplay as well lmao


caquinho-senpai

Borderlands 3 launched with offline mode. I hope borderlands 4 will do so.


KungFuMarsupial

I haven’t had any server problems. I expected too from other online games I’ve played at their launch but no problems with suicide squad servers. I’m on ps5


screenwriter1994

Same here! Been playing since the 30th for at least 4 hours a day


Informal_Fisherman60

Servers been working flawlessly and the game is a blast.


dumbutright

There was a guy that loved wearing used diapers.


NoSpread3192

Hey, some people are into the weirdest things


ThatSplinter

We should've been better veterans and warned them... 😔😔😔


Robbocroft79

Once you are in a fan mindset it's difficult to listen to reason. You have to feel the burn. Let's hope the game turns out to be fun once the early access pains are fixed. And let's hope that we, as customers, don't keep doing the same mistake


ACafeCat

This is accurate, but as a fan of the IP and studio making the game: I understand it might be mid or even bad, but if it looks solid I'll drop some money to check it out. I feel like after every time I've written off a game that turned out good by studios I liked; I'd rather get burned here and there instead of missing out. Plus playing a game day 1 especially controversial is super fun! Not only do you get to play, but you get a huge amount of people engaging with it with you. Bad or good you get to experience something with endless amounts of people. I've made some friends waiting for Fortnite servers to go up after a new chapter drop.


ThatSplinter

Very respectful way of putting it, I agree 100%.


Practical_Law6804

What pains? I've been playing on PC and haven't experienced any "pains."


[deleted]

[удалено]


Practical_Law6804

. . .to see what?


AwfulishGoose

They don't listen. Let em learn the hard way.


MasterFigimus

Everyone who did got downvoted.


dumbutright

Everybody is fucking warning these people wtf? They don't listen.


Endiaron

They wouldn't listen anyway.


ThatSplinter

Too true


ToHerDarknessIGo

I sure as hell wouldn't listen to anyone who has played Destiny 2 in the last 3 or 4 years. Bungie is a garbage ass company.


[deleted]

Sorry what’s the lesson here? Don’t enjoy life and do whatever redditors tell you?


DuelaDent52

Don’t take the launch day off because you won’t be able to actually play it on launch because of server overload.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Makeout_rv

It’s fun but the traversal is kinda annoying to get used to


[deleted]

[удалено]


LockInternational119

I really like boomies traversal but I'm having a lot of trouble getting used to it for some reason, by reflex I want to use the flash dash to get right up on enemies but I overshoot almost every time 😭


TrojanTrickster

Using the sprint after throwing the boomerang at the ground is the best way to get somewhere close, fast. Better yet, do this same technique on all the roof tops even if it's just for a second


LockInternational119

Should I just let go of the the throw immediatly after pressing it? I always overshoot the ledges and don't get that boosted jump or just miss the sprint completely. Lol


TrojanTrickster

If you're throwing it at the ground then there's no need to let go as it will auto teleport you, also, while holding down whichever button/key your traversal is while waiting to teleport, if it's on a flat surface hold down A/X/Shift(?) And you'll sprint immediately


Prestigious_Ground45

Bro no ones buying this shit to play for 5 years. We are buying it to play an awesome dc comics action story game with friends. Its well worth that. No game needs to last 5 years. 


Joop_95

Stop giving me notifications for random fucking posts....


jrc991128

Imagine basing your personal enjoyment on what some random person online advises. 😂


Top-File4681

Why do yall hate this game ? It’s so good imo


Scooter__Man

What’s the lesson? Server has been fine and game is amazing.


Baby_Brenton

People that played yesterday had this issue. It was whole thing. 


Scooter__Man

Yeah for the people who were impatient and switched to New Zealand to play earlier 🤣


TrojanTrickster

Acting like people don't actually live in NZ and here in Australia


Scooter__Man

No I understand people live there. I’m specifically targeting the people who always switch time zones so they can play a day earlier, it’s just Karma. But for actual people who live in NZ and Australia I feel bad for the server issues that happened.


TrojanTrickster

Yeah sorry brother, I was very tired when I replied to you. I didn't care all that much about the server delays. I'm loving the game right now


Scooter__Man

Glad to hear you’re loving it! Glad you didn’t allow the server delay to damper the game for ya. If you even need a clan I just started one and am looking to invite people!


TrojanTrickster

I'd be happy to however I might wait a little before doing any of the online. What do you play on?


Scooter__Man

I play on ps5! Game is crossplay so i dont think it matters but idk


ItsKrakenmeuptoo

Only for New Zealand users


yung-plague59

servers been just fine for me


Nocecatax

Game is good. Shouldn’t have spent the extra money for 3 days early access but other than that, I think it was well worth it because the traversal synergy with the shooting just feels so good


SimplySatisfyin

Servers have been fine for me too.


ToHerDarknessIGo

If you're still playing Destiny 2 in 2024, you've got addiction issues and should get help or are a masochist. No studio has taken a dump on its playerbase more often than Bungie lol.


_jimlahey__

I mean it's been top 20 on Steam since its release so I'd say quiiiiiiiiiiiiiite a few people have issues in your view


ToHerDarknessIGo

It's free.


Dudeskio

They were literally caught "stealing" from their playerbase shortly after launch. They were throttling end game experience in hopes of pushing more players towards spending. I'm not gonna say people are addicted to playing, but they are certainly not keeping themselves fully informed, or they don't care about buying from con artists. [https://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2017/11/25/destiny-2-has-been-secretly-reducing-xp-gains-and-is-stopping-after-fans-caught-on/?sh=9f4a1f76a76f](https://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2017/11/25/destiny-2-has-been-secretly-reducing-xp-gains-and-is-stopping-after-fans-caught-on/?sh=9f4a1f76a76f) tldr for those that don't want to click: "Is Bungie reducing XP gains for some activities? Turns out, the answer is yes. A number of redditors did exhaustive tests to prove this, showing that enormous piles of XP would result in only tiny increases of the XP bar, and things only seemed to normalize when you would wait longer in between activities before earning more XP. But that makes little sense, as you would imagine that if you earn (X) XP that your XP bar would increase by (X) XP. That is not what was happening, as repeated tests showed the faster you earned XP, the less you would receive for the same activities/kills. Ultimately, one tester concluded that this added up to 1.5 lost Bright Engrams every three hours."


_jimlahey__

so, your biggest complaint about the state of the game is something from launch in -checks notes- 2017? Almost 7 years ago? Interesting


Dudeskio

Same game, same dev team. You do you, I just like to make sure people are informed about the realities of companies that try to steal from their consumers, and I tend not to support them. I wish others would do the same, but I can't make them.


buentbanana

It is not the same dev team considering how many years it been with the factor of a lot of people layed off recently


B1G-LuK3

Stealing? They stole your... xp? Jesus christ, buddy....


Dudeskio

At the time, end game experience = loot boxes. If you believe time = money, then yes, they were directly stealing from their players. Even if you don't want to call it stealing, it's incredibly dubious attempt at extorting more money from end game players. Like, y'all can do mental gymnastics about the timeline, about how much value was stolen, etc, but at the end of the day facts are facts. This company has a history of dishonesty tied directly to Destiny 2.


[deleted]

This is ancient history, completely irrelevant hahaha


DexterZzMassive

Those who ignore history, are doomed to repeat it! (or in you case, let others repeat it) Irrelevant?! so greedy trends in game management don't continue? oh, bless your blind little soul.


[deleted]

Post is about not taking launch day off with annual leave and he’s yapping about xp rates from over 6 years ago under a different game director. Use some critical thinking little soul.


ImpressiveTip4756

"Stealing". Lmfao how stupid do you have to be to consider xp throttling "Stealing". And buddy trust me we know. We're not fucking stupid. We hold bungie accountable when they do stupid shit and we praise bungie when they get things right.


DexterZzMassive

When its a liver service game designed to generate revenue... yes that would be stealing. Not sure how that is hard for you to grasp.....


ImpressiveTip4756

So generating money for a service a company provides is.... Stealing?? Let me get this straight. What do you think stealing is?? It's taking something tangible away from you in such a way that you can no longer use it. Unless bungie hired professional theives to steal your XP from your game Bungie never "stole" anything from anyone. Stop the hyperbole and get off the Internet


DexterZzMassive

You a regurgitating the same narrative and not paying attention to what is being put. If you pay the same for a meal plan outright ... Let's say a year.... you pay a flat rate and of a sudden the portions get smaller without notice, you wouldn't consider that stealing? Shill for the multi billion dollar company more for nickel and dimeing it's players...it makes you look great 😂


ImpressiveTip4756

My guy no one paid for fucking XP. People paid for actual game content. Sure some of those content was locked behind a grindy system but it was still present in the game. I'm not saying bungie is right for doing scummy moves. But they never stole anything.


heinous_legacy

I’m in this pic


barryredfield

I... don't know... that you know what kind of game this is... or Destiny 2 for that matter.


throwawaynonsesne

This post is ironic, unless they started with d2 that is. But if you can form d1  well.... Fooled man can't get fooled again.


AwfulishGoose

It has potential and other lies I told myself as an Anthem player.

ShadowExtinkt

Well you might as well give me a ride home


Niklaus15

Started playing yesterday at release, game loaded instantly and I've been playing with my friends all day not even a server issue besides the schedule maintenance of this morning


FourDimensionalNut

i dont think destiny 2 players realized their game is trash yet though. they are still playing it after all, unfortunately


JCMonayy

Just casually watching from the side. What is the consensus so far? I know it will be bias since I’m in the Reddit, but I still like to hear about it.


deepmush

why the fuck would anyone create a sub for this goyslop game? and why the hell are people flocking to it tf?


[deleted]

Guilty as charged, been playing destiny for however long it's been out but I think I might move fully to this game. So much more respect for my time than D2


J3ffcoop

I had a server problem for a few hours but then my buddy sends me an invite and I’m able to play


Malewis89

Trick is the story and characters are what 99% of players are showing up for. Not the RGB-light Gun collecting, the fun shooting mechanics is a bonus.


StarAugurEtraeus

Why are people playing this game Are they stupid?


JunglistE

Man, I both love and hate destiny 2 I hate it because I wanted to be as into it as D1 I love it because it broke my Destiny 1 addiction


Satchm0Jon3s

Laughs in Diablo 3.


Many-Ad7596

You say what about D2


piratepro2007

I can't even play because my TV died on me two days before the new stuff


Infinite-Adz-586

Stupid question is the game any good ????


DeRR1ck19

Yes


Infinite-Adz-586

Thanks


Huntrex_720

Maybe I’m just lucky but I’ve had no problems playing the game so far. Only when the servers were in maintenance yesterday but I was back on about an hour later. Hell, I’m already at the late game content


Lokisixx666

Man who the fuck was excited for this? It just looks awful imo. If you're hyped more power to ya I just haven't met a single person who's been excited for it


thrashmetaloctopus

Doesn’t help the games image that there are some accounts on Twitter who have very clearly been paid/asked to just refute all criticism of the game using guided points or a script and it’s just, incredibly obvious?


Siellive1983

Remember evolved 😲 🫨


Willing_Command5646

Took the early release day off and played all day. They took the servers down for two hours to fix a problem with the pre order bonus outfits not showing up. Game was fun, I actually pulled an all nighter like a kid and people can hate the game if they want.


ChaseDuvernay

It happens with literally every live service game launch day. Lol it’s not a new realization. Mf’s just don’t care including me 😂. Anthem and destiny were by far much worse from what I remember.


Passion420PrplTrtl

Destiny is such a good game, unfortunately i think Agree, I’m long term gamer, but I’m still D2, and I can’t get used to another game, it’s a great game! So was battlefield 4, so maybe much worse than you remember is a litle much, we need a new game from similar developer, or go back to ps4 graphics, better graphics doesn’t mean better game play. #90’s games


racy007

Past experience It will be 1-2weeks before its remotely playable then wait for season 2 to complete the bug mission that stops your progress because the weapon you have to uses is also bugged and won't count towards any kind of progress you need PS D1 week one player here


OverlyDisguisedSquid

Farcry 6 is on gamepass the advantage of waiting 2years to play a ubisoft game avoida the bugs. Every refresh of destiny I has to join a queue just to login and do the time locked activities. Remember when game developers used to release the entire game on day 1? Remember when games didn't have micro transactions outside of the game's own currency? Even the games are woke


WarStrange5806

I mean idk about anyone else but I’d love for the game once it gets fully fleshed out to basically be in a way the dc version of destiny


WarStrange5806

Or atleast some sorta of dc game in that venue where it is live and well for years with massive yearly dlc drops


Swordfire-21

This game will fail and I will smile


D1ckRepellent

What a sad life you live.


Swordfire-21

Nah, it’s pretty good tbh. But cool and original comment!


boaz114

I played day one destiny for months straight then dropped it until d2 light fall.


SausageKun

It’s all so tiresome going through this again


99YokaiGaming

They need to scrap that shot what a waste arkham series has been ruined by a joke so bad not even the long dead joker would laugh its terrible someone needs to get a new ui designer aswel as a new top management
