What an incredibly cancerous piece of garbage this game suddenly came to be. I'm definitely out. Also, I'll be laughing my ass off when the mods come out that misgender robots/people on Canadian servers. Gonna be glorious.

I read this article on Reddit that said that Destiny 2 will have a feature on the pre-built create a class, as well as audio settings, that allow you to 'set' what gender you identify as, sexuality, as well as what pronouns you would like to be identified with. Your robot will now use context sensitive pronouns when referring to you. Even a class that allows more politically correct neutral pronouns like zei, zir and hir. So rather than your robot saying "I have notified him", it would say "I have notified ze". This way one doesn't improperly identify their gender through outfits alone. For example, I could like put down Cisgendered, heteronormative privledged white male, pronouns he and him for myself. I guess this will be pretty cool, although I'm not sure if it's really a selling point. It does nothing for me. I have heard absolutely nothing or seen nothing regarding this... got a link? I suppose some people, Touch Football fans like Marcopolo, I would imagine he will get in this quite a bit. What would I get? You lost me. |

LOL. Yeah, haven't seen that either, and I'm on the DTG sub multiple times every day. Sounds like fake news to me.

I guess it's okay; pretty much once something is a "god ____" everyone uses that roll so it won't be that different I guess. Will drop rates get kicked in the teeth then? Or since there's no vault, will they be character locked (ie: not transferable via app?) |

Wuuut you say about this no vault thing?
(kiosk for all weapons could work though, if there is no random rolls... pretty pleas?).

How about we just go around toting literally every gun in the game like back in Doom, Quake, and Half-Life. ;3 Just imagine mousewheeling through 50 guns... hehe (Although, to be honest the radial menus from RDR and GTAV actually do work pretty well for giving you access to a literally stupid number of weapons even on console. Not that I'm seriously suggesting any such thing for Destiny. heh)

Apparently hostile footstep sounds are coming to Destiny 2. Going to have a fun time wumming salty Guardians over this if footstep sounds are at a decent level.  |

It makes sense though that the Guardian Ninja Slipper factory burns down with the rest of the Tower. The game's lore is sooo good.

Preordered. All in. Ps store. Why I waited I have no idea. Looks like my normal compadres may not be doing the same. Look for a substandard Limey hanging on your coat tails soon.

Lol; because of weather, the missus booked us into a cabin next week, sans wifi/internet. If I'm lucky, I'll get 1 or 2 days of the beta. Sigh.

Lol. It let me start it to the point where it said 'destiny servers unavailable.' I thought my luck was in.

Graphics were noticeably better - not sure what the fuss is that they're not? It's very obvious.
Story mission was short but very 'epic' in feel.
Played as a Titan and hated the freebie legendary. Worked on the mini bosses though.
Strike was more like a mini-raid than a traditional strike - lots of ground covered. Boss was excellent.
MP was pretty much the same - I suck - but I smiled.

It was something. It feels a bit slow. The whole first mission seems like a story reason for the de-escalation of power creep. I...kind of understand it. Destiny 1 had us slaying an evil god in formal combat...so. Chatterwhite villain is a filthy cheater basically.
I had some raving fun with the titan exotic minigun and the captain america super. The sunsinger super felt a little underpowered, but I was able to use it to get to seemingly impossible to reach areas on the nexxus. The striker titan super seems really good with multiple fists of havoc. Void walker super is hilarious since it slow tracks enemies forever until it either hits them or a wall. You can also shoot your bomb for some fireworks.
The beta is definitely short. I wonder about their reasoning to not just have a normal patrol to at least give people something to do other than the repetitive strike and crucible.

I'm slightly worried the rationale is/was because D1 beta was about 10% of the vanilla game Hopefully there's more content in D2 off the bat - and the 'short' demo isn't to make the 'new' content in the real game seem larger than it is. |

Messed around with this a bit yesterday. Mostly used the poledancer with a little goldie thrown in for variety. Did the story mission, strike, and one match of control. Initial thoughts? I am whelmed. Not underwhelmed, not overwhelmed, just whelmed. Like taking a warm shower -- it's not the unpleasant experience a cold shower would be, but it's not a nice and steamy hot shower either.
Ability cooldowns seem really long and the abilities are much weaker than in D1, save for supers. I think they need to pick one of those changes and revert it. Either strong abilities on a long cooldown, or weak abilities on a short cooldown. Power weapons definitely didn't feel strong enough in PvE either. I'll echo dumien in saying things felt a tad slow. Overall nothing some tuning and rebalancing (or maybe some better gear) can't fix, but Bungie's track record on that stuff isn't exactly stellar. I did like the mission and strike design a lot, though. If the rest of the PvE content is similar, I'll be very happy with it.

The mission was fine. The strike was fine. I'll run it again when the PS4 version goes open, just to see how the Pro version looks. The real test will be the PC beta I guess. I did notice that the cooldowns were pretty slow, but I didn't care enough to look at my character stats to see if maybe the int/str/dis just were a little low or something. Actually I never cared enough about that stuff to figure out which stat went with what ability. Int super.. str melee... dis grenade? Just guessing. It never became second nature. I do vaguely recall seeing that they renamed that shit to just correspond to the ability in question so that's a good change.
The new dual primary plus ...power(?) weapon thing on the other hand... not a huge fan. I thought the three weapon setup in the original worked really well... hey.. now that I think about it... Where are the swords? Is there no sword in the beta? There are swords in the actual GAME... RIGHT?!?! SWORDS!
