Destiny 2... It's a coming!

For the non-D1 players, guided games? Like matchmaking?

We don't really know 100%, to me it looks like a mix between LFG and guilds/clans. Apparently solo players can queue up with a clan that has open slots, so it's basically an in-game LFG system, but with groups from clans instead of randoms all around. There was/is already PvE matchmaking for normal strikes etc, but what guided games should do is help more players into the raids.

As a result, Bungie has built a system in which single players or pairs can search for established groups that need one or two extra players to play one of those modes. "What we're trying to do with clans and Guided Games is we're going to take... one or two people, and match them with an existing clan--a group of people who already have a set of practices for how they communicate, a set of standards, a shared culture--and have them guide these solos into an experience," he explained.

When Noseworthy was describing Guided Games, he made an interesting comparison: the process of finding a group to play with is almost like using a dating app. "The seeker, the solo player, has some agency--they're getting to choose, 'I don’t think that group sounds like it's for me...' And you swipe left like [in] Tinder, like, 'No, this group looks more like my kind of jam, oh these guys speak French too, oh that's awesome, because I'm French.' So you have a level of agency that just doesn’t exist with matchmaking. And so we think that alone is going to substantially curb some of the toxicity." Gamespot sauce

Flop? Now this has just turned into a delusional ramble.

It was a bit dull on release (for me personally) had a buckload of critical issues/problems that took a long time to get sorted to become the product it is now.

Destiny release - so many lies, so many disappointments, charge backs, so little content, story change 11 months previous and creative director? I think bailing. Nightmare, i.e. flop

Then the first expansion: House of wolves - terrible flop

Then TTK: oh a little more content... I left before this so I have no sales figures, no one was left and low population, possibly set things back?

Rise of iron: added sale of all expansions in last ditch plus additional news of D2 bringing people back. New wave, new ideas, I guess you could say back on track?

Originally it was a massive flop, their arrogance and sale of individual expansions was/it's shocking, the price of a game in such low amounts of content. Maybe they are back on track, but to me unless D2 addresses the issues as seen in D1, and unless this new wave of purchases for "the whole collection at 30€" ( damn good deal by the way) stick around, their lack luster expansion programme will once again flop.

So yes, it was a flop.
 
Destiny is not a flop by any measure, you aren't dealing with reality I'm afraid.

Flawed in places? Sure, but it's been a huge success. So much so that most other developers out there are studying the formula, hoping to get even a slice of the player numbers, play time and retention that Destiny managed.
 
The base platforms are PS4 and Xbox One for 1080p30 gameplay, so I'd imagine something like an i5 level CPU and a 970/1060 will be enough for 1080p60.

We'll get a better picture when the PC beta starts at some point in August (date TBC)

I remember the launch of the first game, I bought my PS4 to play it but then it got delayed for a long while. When it finally launched I bought a whole box of Krispy Kremes as a celebration. Through Destiny and doughnuts I learnt that you should never eat a box to yourself, that was the first and only time I've had sugar shakes.
 
Hallo :)

I put together a google sheet to sort of copy what @TonyTurbo78 did for BF1 in order to have a place to add in Blizzard app ID's in the run up to this coming out so people can add each other easier as it gets buried here easily.

We expanded it for other platforms for discord use as well, but I added in the discord link at the top in case you wanted to come along as we will be putting rooms together for voice etc + the text channel already there. :)

edit: even if you aren't on discord, feel free to add your blizzard ID here :)
