Destiny 360/PS3/XBOX ONE/PS4 review

[Uli]

not only this but the whole nerfing of weapons and perks (see my post above) is incomprehensible. looks to me like Bungie doesn't trust its new arsenal of weapons is attractive enough and thought about ways to force players to adept the new weapons and leave the olds ones behind.

Field Scout perks do not work either. WTF?

[ItsThere]

How are you getting the full thing for ?37 Lebowski?

Yep, means all snipers except Icebreaker are limited to max 4 rounds and i believe max. 18 rounds on reserve now. handguns are now stuck with max 10 rounds magazine and if i remeber correctly 64 rounds in reserve. i am constantly running out of ammo now. not much fun.

Bungie's motto: if it ain't broke, break it!

http://deals.simplygames.com/p/desti...taken-king-ps4 Here!!! I ordered it when it was ?35

As for the weapon balancing arguments I don't see anything wrong with what they have done we had a few OP guns that led to a bit of elitism in some circles and stupidity in others. You would regularly come across teams that thought you needed a galahorn to Beat the Hm Crota raid, when the hunger of Crota or truth could do just as good a job. By reducing the effectiveness of certain weapons they can give you more options in what you us and stop people being over reliant on just one or two OP weapons.

Nolan North sounds like a proper div too.

Nolan North sounds like a proper div too.

yeah id agree i miss dinks, bored sarcastic tone fitted the ghost personality really well and despite the slagging of he got for his voice work, nolan a professional voice actor cant make the terrible ghost lines sound any better. Add in that nolan sounds a bit stupid and bubbly, and im really missing Diklages voice work real shame they had to retroactively change him. A damaged voice box thing or to explain the voice change would of made more sense.

[bcass]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you don't get TTK, you cannot get to level 40. Nightfall is now mandatory lvl 40, sooooo, people who don't purchase TTK are locked out?

Don't know about that. Maybe it's light that's capped, not level? I certainly haven't read anywhere else that nightfalls are being locked behind TTK.

Dinklage was better, without a doubt. His sombre performance now seems perfect compared to what North has delivered. They've gone for more of a Guilty Spark theme this time, but North doesn't even come close to that performance either. Shame.

Doesn't matter who voices the Ghost. The script is beyond terrible.

'its power is dark'
'Its in the walls!'

Its the most terrible script ever, probably even worse than 32-bit Japan localizations. The best update is the fact you can skip it.

As for the weapons, its just math. I think 150 is the new 300. And 280 is the max of Y2 exotics, which makes them nearly twice as strong as 170/365 Exotics. As for the new maps, didn't like one of them yet. Its like Guerrilla designed them. Don't like Rift aka snipe campfest either. Still in doubt about a purchase.

[bcass]

Rift didn't grab me either, although Shax's commentary is hilarious. I really hope they don't use that mode for Iron Banner...

As for Thorn, it's still a beast judging by the few games I've had so far. And rightly so too.

[fishbowlhead]

I enjoyed it for the gunplay and the social tom foolery, had some really hilarious moment with randoms and friends alike. However the design just does my head in.

Weapons you grind dozens upon dozens of hours for and you get really proud of, can become obsolete on bungies whim, nothing really gets fixed, in fact they break more than they fix.

Also, Luke Smith. I have an intense hatred for that smug little twot, I honestly mean it when I say I would happily punch him in the mouth.


In a way I'm glad my characters are gone. It's broken my unhealthy opium like addiction to it.

[bcass]

Luke Smith does indeed come over as a bit of a tit, but the guy lead the team that designed VoG, so he's definitely doing something right. Fatebringer, Thorn, and Gally still wreck in all year 1 content, so it's not a total disaster.

I still don't get it though. The ratings numbers have changed, but they still perform exactly the same in-game. It doesn't really make any sense to have Year 2 items be more powerful. It will become a problem by the time we are at Year 4 or whatever.

Scout Rifles are beast in Crucible now. You can stay just out of reach of a Hand Cannon and plink somebody to death. I was destroying with MIDA yesterday. Blink Strike is incredible too, it seems to have even more reach now.

[Panta Rhei]

Damage you do is capped depending on the enemy levels. So you can't one shot dregs in a level 5 mission with a maxed out Hard Light. All current content doesn't go past level 35. So you won't notice a thing, perhaps only against Skolas if you use Y2 Exotics.

But with level 40 content I figure the 280 exotics will help a great deal and the Fatebringers will be less strong.

The Monte Carlo is now reasonably good in Crucible. And I tried Hard Light which is okay too.

Bungie is constantly trolling the userbase. That Deej guy is an asshat too. They're only reacting, so if one finds a fun way to tackle something they'll take it out. They finally sold Horn right before the nerf, now basically in the week of Xbox players are able to get PS exclusives they offer NLB.
