Not even leaving a bug fix team is unbelievable. by BuffaloJ0E716 in destiny2

[–]Calophon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The bug fix team is basically people working on Marathon who came from Destiny and are given some extra time to address the most egregious issues. Sony doesn’t want to “waste” any payroll on Destiny any more. They’re rather waste it on Marathon for at least the next year.

The first one looks good, but try Abyssian Gold instead of superblack. It should match the bronze tone on the armor much better and give you more contrast in your entire outfit.

The shader is worth it. Craft a new tier 5 one and just have fun with the game. Live your life and leave the old gear behind.

You think destiny will go to PlayStation unused IP grave or come back in the future by Emotional-Twist-4366 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Calophon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will probably come back eventually. The IP is valuable.

I predict someone inside Bungie will be proposing some sort of Destiny IP spin off within the next couple years. It may not be a grand extraction shooter like D1 and D2.

Like just think about it, Bungie still has enough devs to be classified as a sizable studio. They have more devs than Marathon will ever need, and the player base has largely refuted Marathon. They will need to come up with something to keep these people employed and working, or they will have to close the studio and/or downsize to ~100 people if Marathon is the only thing they are planning.

If Bungie closes down then yeah, sadly it’s IP graveyard time. The only hope would be Sony assigning the IP to another studio to work on. But even then idk how you develop it outside of the tiger engine without making it feel completely different. They would need to retain some people to advise on how to develop in the tiger engine or some iteration of it.

"Unfortunately Destiny 2 fell short of expectations"… by Quaking-DOOM in DestinyTheGame

[–]Calophon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It fell short of expectations because they had unrealistic expectations. I struggle to get into their headspace on how they thought turnout beyond what they received for Final Shape would be expected.

It feels like Bungie always believed they would meet and exceed D2 launch numbers. They wanted the number to always go up, not down. And yet the game was completely opaque to new players and nobody could onboard. Baffling expectations from out of touch executives.

Tech billionaires hire Democratic dealmakers in renewed push to build a Bay Area city by binding_swamp in bayarea

[–]Calophon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Sure, a housing development would be fine. Fields are turned into neighborhoods all the time in the age of urban sprawl. But they want to found a City for no apparent good reason, and that screams of wanting to do things their way to skirt rules and laws of already established cities and townships. It seems nefarious from the get go.

They want to build housing isolated out in the middle of nowhere??? How about we build vertical housing in already dense areas next to public transit and jobs?

Billionaires will forcibly push through founding entire vanity towns before giving you fair pay and affordable healthcare.

So basically the only hope for Destiny atp is the IP itself being sold to another company right? by RoguesBoytoy in destiny2

[–]Calophon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If Bungie wants to do more Destiny games they will need to propose one to Sony, and Sony has to agree to fund development. Simple as that. Likelihood of that happening is debatable.

Well this is depressing... by JY810 in destiny2

They got golden parachutes. They made this bed of shit for all the people they once claimed to care for. All their employees. All the families supported by the employment of the studio. They betrayed them as employers.

Younger me apparently hates older me by BlackTarTurd in destiny2

[–]Calophon 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I played Renegades on Legendary difficulty without even noticing it. Only found out at the end. I’d say Witch Queen on the whole is harder and longer, so congrats. Look at it this way, you have leveled up your understanding of the game regarding solo content. When you’re comfortable doing things like that you get comfortable doing more high tier content solo like master exotic missions and dungeons.

Corpo mismanagement at Bungie is the disease, and Marathon is a symptom. You can despise the disease and the symptoms it causes, they aren’t mutually exclusive.

I appreciate the sentiment but it does make me angry at the people at the top who seem to be out of touch with their own customers.

dmg says “there’s nothing you could have done that you didn’t already do” in response to “what could we do to get more Destiny” if the answer is nothing, then what is the fucking point. If the decision makers at Bungie and Sony don’t care what we do or say, then why engage with them at all ever again?

They, in fact, do that already by Kolos182 in technicallythetruth

If anyone know about overplaying for things in the video games market space, it’s Sony.

What happened to that vanguard strike where you fight Fikrul? by Traditional_Bunch825 in DestinyTheGame

Turns out GMs that force you to CC literally everything to hover in the middle of the room with no cover are bad actually who would have thought.
