I'm amazed the amount of players those game still has. I bought it felt robbed and quit soon after release. Bungie is a shell of a what it once was.

I think you and I played different games.. Destiny is a great game! One of the best looter shooter ever made. The gameplay and lore is freaking great. The only issue to me is that there are 2 much content and the amount of time you need to dedicate for this game is huge.but when I was younger and responsibilities free I had a blast

[-] Astroturfed@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Maybe now. They released a game with barely any content and sold the content to you.

[-] Ansis@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, lotsa downvotes but D2 is great. The issue is the amount of paid content - every tiny little new mission, gun or area is a new expansion or season pass. I get that they need to feed the people creating the new stuff but it's still like >$100 a year for you to play all the newest content when it comes out.

I usually skip the seasons because they're basically the same mission on repeat with a little cutscene at the start and end. If you're patient, you can get the DLCs for 1/3rd of the price and still have lots of fun with it. I even get cool cosmetics (in-game currency) and play endgame content with my clanmates so it's definitely not pay2win.

I quit it because of sunsetting content. I love to know what I have in a game and that if I wanna stop and play other things for a few months or something that I can return and still play through that content.

As soon as they sunset entire planets and disallowed you from being able to play the campaign on your own time, relegating the entire thing to randomized heroic missions on a daily rotation, I just couldn't do it anymore and left. It's absolutely the worst FOMO implementation I've ever seen in a game and it fucking disgusts me.

I couldn't believe what a breath of fresh air it was to play through Borderlands 3 this year and just be able to know what the whole game was, what all the content was, and that I could play that content any time I wanted, forever, without any chance that it would simply disappear on me, after I'd already paid for it.

Those things were all taken out of the game like 2 1/2 years ago though

[-] all-knight-party@kbin.cafe 8 points 1 year ago

That would be when I quit, yes.

[-] Astronautical@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 year ago

I meant that those systems were removed. Sunsetting is not in the game anymore, and planets have been slowly trickling back in with seasonal content and whatnot.

[-] all-knight-party@kbin.cafe 2 points 1 year ago

That seems a little better, but seasonal content must be paid for, right? Does that mean the content I paid for that's sunsetted id have to pay for again seasonally? And what about the campaign?

[-] Astronautical@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Seasonal content is $12 a season, sadly (really dumb too since Silver only can be bought in $10 or $15 packs) but campaigns and their respective content stays in the game. They also have overhauled practically every game mode aside from Gambit, and occasionally have free weekends for DLC. Overall, it's better in some ways and worse in others.

[-] SolOrion@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

It has great bones. The game is incredibly smooth, and the gunplay is fantastic. Their monetization is absolute trash, though. I absolutely despise their seasonal system, and they keep vaulting shit I've paid for.

Plus they keep changing the fucking minimum light! Twice since release, I think, they've basically reset me so that I'm functionally a brand new player with some neat level 1 exotics I now have to farm shit to keep fusing to level up.

Man I miss destiny but I can't play it cause Bungie are paranoid blaming the wrong group (Linux users) as hackers so blocked us from using it, and even if I could I wouldn't play it out of principle because of what they've done to it. It still has the best shooting out of any game I've played, but the stuff you shoot at isn't interesting anymore

[-] azurefirefly@lemmy.basedcount.com 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Looked at the store, man how much do you have to spend to get the content? $100 for light fall and the battle pass, then $30 for Gjallahorn, then another $30 for some other dungeon and new supers and then $100 more for the new expansion. That's $260, it's cheaper to pay for Final Fantasy XIV monthly and get a $60 expansion for a year. That's not including all the past dlc either

How do we blame Telesto this time?
