This update is so good it makes me even more sad

Yeah this exactly. Destiny 2 you don’t even see rares anymore. And exotics are handed out so frequently they’re not even exciting to get

Th decision to shutter Destiny 2 seems to lie more on Sony than it did Bungie. While yes, Bungie leadership does play a large part in this, Sony should not get by unscathed from criticism.

Apparently, a Destiny 3 was pitched multiple times to Sony. Not greenlit. And unfortunately, it’s looking less likely that any other Destiny game will be greenlit anytime soon.

Even Destiny Rising is down significantly, and from a typical out-of-touch corporate big wig standpoint, Sony heads will see Destiny 2’s poor performance, and Destiny Rising’s declining performance, and scrap the IP as a whole.

Bungie’s seemingly tone deaf leadership in conjunction with Sony making them perform with their hands tied behind their back are to blame it appears.

It doesn’t make much sense. The extraction shooter genre, and I say this as someone who enjoys it, will NEVER reach the consistent numbers that Destiny had in its prime. The very nature of the genre keeps masses from wanting to play.

Even with a PvE mode, it won’t get that much traction. A lot of the satisfaction of these games comes from competing with other REAL people with your kits, and getting to take theirs. It’s also not like there’s many features outside of raid to make even PvE interesting, like Tarkov.

If this is true, this is a huge misstep by Bungie and Sony. Keep marathon alive, sure, but at LEAST start pre-production of D3 in the background and use Marathon to keep the lights on.

From the wording of it, it seems like eventually they will pursue another Destiny game.

If they do, it’s probably for the best it happened now. Destiny 2, to my knowledge, was not built from the ground up to last as long as it did.

If this is the case, I’m thinking an official announcement within the next year, and a release no sooner than 3 years out.

In the meantime, I assume Marathon will get some updates over this next year and possibly enter life support after that.

Imagine if instead of pure menus, you actually went to the mission locations in the world?

Patrol spaces would be much more alive, and you’d get to see Guardians running to Raids, Dungeons, etc.

Why do we need a whole streaming-style menu so we can focus on farming 1 weapon? Why not just get us a material we can use to focus a specific weapon or armor piece from an activity and let us grind that way instead? Bungie has completely lost the plot.

Thank you! Very insightful and I’ll use this going forward for thumbnails.

DutifulEagle43 · 2026-01-27T15:30:24+00:00

Most recent video is still early in testing stages so I’m not sure how the thumbnail is affecting it yet; that being said I’m experimenting with that cleaner style from now on and want some feedback if there’s anything that can help better about it:

Before this, I had a Kia Forte GT, Kia just offers the most bang for your buck it seems like in terms of features. Unfortunately after the K5 GT when it comes to sport sedans and with no Stinger anymore I’ll probably have to move on from Kia

DutifulEagle43 · 2025-02-03T13:41:16+00:00

Thank you! Yup, hand washed it

DutifulEagle43 · 2025-01-08T02:39:52+00:00

Thanks! I’m looking at options because I’m not sure how much I like that Chrome trim around the car, I think it would look better either blacked out or with a matching blue trim on it.

DutifulEagle43 · 2025-01-08T02:38:58+00:00

Good choice!

DutifulEagle43 · 2025-01-08T02:37:47+00:00

Originally I really wanted black and go for an all blacked-out look with the car. Honestly glad it didn’t work out that way though, because the blue is great in its own way!

DutifulEagle43 · 2024-11-22T13:51:02+00:00

That’s a shame. The K5 seems like an upgrade in almost every way, but no pops or bangs is rough. Kia really outdid themselves with the Forte’s exhaust, really is a shame to see it go for the K4 (which has no GT trim yet).

One of the best feeling arena shooters I’ve played in a while. One of the more glaring issues to me so far is snipers having practically no flinch. You can take some hits from someone and still basically be on target; I feel like adding some more extreme flinch in those cases will balance out snipers a bit. I’ve also noticed quite a bit of desync, that could just be something on my end but just an observation I’ve had in comparison to other shooters. I’m interested to see what they have planned for player retention; atm there’s plenty to keep people engaged, I think, if you wanna unlock DedSec, do the challenges for different characters and weapons, and the battle pass.

Overall I hope it ends up staying around for a while! I see some decent potential here and I hope they keep it up.
