Rumor: Details about Destiny 3 leaks- More RPG like focus, PvPvE areas, Europa as a location
- Thread starter DNAbro
- Start date
I assume we're all guessing that Luke Smith got the boot from leading D3 after how badly D2 was botched in its first year?
I played the first and the second. I regret my time and money. It's plain mediocre, generic, uninteresting.
The world is boring, the characters are boring, the missions are boring, the music is generic and over dramatic, the enemies are dumb as shit.
Nothing about it is special.
In a perfect world that could have been it. As it is, though, the early plan was to do a game on year, expansion the next, then repeat it for up to 5 games. RoI was sort of a stopgap because D2 wasn't going to be ready yet, which also ended up going from an unfinished engine/toolset for D2 to a heavily modified version of the D1 engine/toolset that they used for RoI's new content. According to DeeJ after D2 vanilla released and was well under way, right before CoO came out, they handed off the game to the live team and VV, which is partly why Warmind was such a change from CoO and Forsaken has been, thus far, an amazing experience. Supposedly D3 will be with a fully new engine, possibly whatever it was D2 was going to use, and creating content will be easier and faster (which is what the complaint about the D1/2 engine was).
I full expect us to get another RoI-type expansion next year, but I'm fine with it if they content drops are more like after the main team went off to do the sequels. I also almost expect to see D3 follow suit and, possibly, when we reach "year 10" instead of a whole new game we get a full, total remaster with all of the content from the previous games, seamlessly, up to and through the conclusion of the story.

Thats understandable but you should really state your experiences/frustrations with the game in your posts and not speak for others
Hm, maybe. Would be strange given that he was the face of the lowest point in Destiny's history but who knows.
PvPvE? Yeah, we're getting Dark Guardians or the like. Forsaken hinted at this idea pretty heavily.
It's a well known video game franchise but not a beloved one, plain and simple. Feel free to prove me wrong.
Even Warframe is more beloved than Destiny. Actually Warframe is much more beloved than Destiny.
Guardians fighting on behalf of the Darkness and the triangle ships rather than the Light and the Traveler?
Would be interesting if you could pick a side.
I don't believe this, but I have run into WAY more dedicated Warframe fans than i have Destiny fans. Still, you can't overcome that AAA marketing machine.
You are correct sir !
They always mess up the base game, first two expansions are not value for money, then they fix everything for year 1 expansion.
Yeh, blame the popularity and fanbase on just marketing. Jesus christ.

if there is one thing i learned, it's that hardcore warframe fans love coming into Destiny threads to say they don't care about Destiny
Which is why I said it was a well known franchise, not a beloved one.
Destiny didn't become popular, it was MADE popular. It wasn't famous because people loved it, it was famous because there's marketing everywhere.
Halo's marketing were nothing compared to Destiny's, and yet it was much more popular, and definitely more beloved.
There are games like PUBG, who got extremely popular because it's good and people loved it, and there's games like Destiny, who got famous because its maker put LOTS of money into the marketing.
It is an incredibly popular franchise that has had ups and downs -- including its worst period ever in early 2018 to what might be its best period ever currently.
The fact that you used, "People don't cosplay as Destiny characters" as an actual argument, despite that being factually incorrect, is enough to wave off your hyperbolic criticism.
But this is enough to prove that you're just trolling.
"No one really likes it. It's just marketing. I know this because I personally don't like it."
Embarrassing. Stop.
Theres nothing to prove.. If you enjoy warframe, go play it =)
Its just a video game man!! Stop trying to start wars between two completely different games with different play styles.
I did but you said that did not count, so I don't know why I would continue. Regardless of the studio. If you publish a game under your name you better know what you are representing. They could have continued working on the game but went silent. That isn't a good look for the company. So yeah my point is valid in my eyes. You just don't like it.
Lol I know, I just want something more than a pretty coating for a glorified loading screen, especially if they want us to "value" the ships.

oh please, now you are just trying to deny anything positive about Destiny
Think they'll do anything with the ships? Or it'll just be another useless menu model for you to look at?
Except the taken King was the best at one point, and then it went downhill with rise of iron and further down with destiny 2 vanilla. Forsaken is the best content though I agree.
I'd be lying if I said I'll be waiting for reviews, as it'll probably be a day 1 with me unless they screw up a lot. I've always wanted Europa in destiny.
It's an easy enough comparison. But I mean...at least you can figure out what's going on in Destiny without much trouble when you're first starting out. You need a 50 page guide to figure out what to do in Warframe, and you're still gonna get lost.
Counterpoint: are you saying marketing is irrelevant to a game's popularity?
This is understandable given the fact that D2 threw away three years of what Destiny 1 turned into and had to built itself up again.
However, if Destiny 3's development team understands this and continues to build on what D2 is now, it will be amazing.
It completely makes sense to at least wait until the game launches though. Bungie did this to themselves.
That's not a counterpoint and the inverse wasn't what the implication of your post was.
I can value the ships more if they actually made them look cool
Same thing with the emblems.
COD has he animated emblems for years, what's Bungie excuse for the lame emblems ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That's my biggest gripe with the game. I'm ok with the way it is but they could have made certain aspects a whole lot better.
To many people, myself included, it doesn't matter what the current state of Destiny is. All we know is the two base games were disappointing and many felt like their time and money were wasted.
Pretty much this. The original pitch was this amazing Galaxy you get to explore, it would expand over 10 years. What have we gotten, the same solar system for 6 years and no space what so ever.
I am not, Destiny didn't deserve my trolling. It'd be a waste of my time.
Looks like there's no point staying in this thread, it's clear Destiny fans are going to buy the 3rd, 4th or the 5th game anyway, while people who were disappointed won't.
All I am saying is, maybe it's time to move on from Destiny Bungie, the way I see it there's more people hating this franchise than actually loving it.
Destiny has managed to make game as a service dollars while still releasing full 60 price games every 3 years. Hah, I'm impressed.
Some of these changes sound really cool but Bungie has burned their bridge for me. I'll never be fooled again.
Yeah I am never buying Destiny again. I held off on Forsaken and I feel fine. Hopefully Christopher and co do a good job as it sounds like folks are really enjoying Forsaken.
I mean just look at all your posts (edited and unedited) in this thread.. you're pretty much straight up trolling at this point.
or maybe, I want them to move on and stop making Destiny?
I prefer Bungie when they are not making shitty grindy MMO with boring universe and forced aim assist.
