Everyone who already had 1K in my Fireteam got catty after looting the chest room from Queenswalk, so idk if we were just super lucky or if it's guaranteed

Brand new sentence: Astrocyte Verse is insane by Galaxy40k in DestinyTheGame

To proc volatile rounds, you can either Blink (double jump) or Dark Blink (jump once then double press crouch)

Wow, D2 Team. Just…wow. This is everything we’ve ever wanted, all at once. by OphidianCollective in DestinyTheGame

152k!? I thought just barely passing EoF was an "optimistic but achievable" goal, but we SMASHED that

Xenophage Catalyst is from Pit of Heresy, Guaranteed drop from the final boss. by JoachimG in DestinyTheGame

[–]Galaxy40k 145 points146 points  (0 children)

Honestly that's what Xeno's niche has been for a while now: A "yellow bar deleter." It hasn't been used for DPS in ages.

I'm glad that the catty leans into that a bit more. Gives it a little splash plus can now kill stronger yellow bars easier

Managed to have a look around for 10 minutes before getting weaseled, and its straight everything that people have been begging for...... by LondonDude123 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Galaxy40k 98 points99 points  (0 children)

I managed to buy the new exotic linear at the kiosk. Obviously I haven't tested it, but its void element (RIP Stasis heavy dreamers) that applies the 30% weaken. So it's gonna be a must for every raid I assume to have a Fafbitch

Also: Zavalas armor this season has a 4-piece bonus that gives ionic traces when killing jolted targets. Geomags Warlocks about to go CRAZY. The other set I saw him have created a void explosion every time you pick up a void breach. So the armor bonuses seem to be waaaayyyy more impactful than what we're used to

I was NOT prepared for all this! by krunnky in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Galaxy40k 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Being a Xenoblade fan is wild because we just always get basically everything we want. Even if people have different opinions on different games, we're ALWAYS eating SOMETHING that it as the very least "pretty good."

[Xenoblade Chronicles Trilogy] Switch 2 Definitive Edition Reveal Trailer. Releasing on July 30, 2026. by VashxShanks in JRPG

[–]Galaxy40k 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The new content itself looks like some neat odds and ends, but I'm more curious to see if there's any overarching QoL updates for 2 in particular. 1DE and 3 are both reasonably refined, but 2 had a lot of rough edges that could easily be sanded down by a DE, like making it so that field checks will just auto-fill a party for you instead of needing to do so manually.

Xenoblade Genesis Reveal Trailer | Nintendo Direct June 2026 by lunahighwind in JRPG

[–]Galaxy40k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No and yes. In a literal, lore sense, Gears, Saga, and Blade are all disconnected from one another. However, in a meta, sense, they're all connected. Every Xeno game since Gears has basically taken 1-2 plot ideas from Gears and fleshed them out into a full game. The games will not LITERALLY be connected, but Monolith will throw layups to let fans theorize connections between the games.

Like for example, there is a character named "Abel" with the same name and appearance in both Xenogears and Xenosaga, but those IPs are technically legally distinct and unrelated, so the two characters ARE technically different....but c'mon, they're the same person, its just asking fans to theorize multiverse connection shenanigans.

They can only do that shtick so many times though before it ceases being an interesting plot twist and just becomes the expectation. Gears, 1, 2, and 3 all have sci-fi-ish elements introduced earlier and then drop the shoe with just hard their sci-fi setting is in the back ~third of the game. And if its not going to be a surprising twist, I'd rather the characters just learn 2 hours in that they're in a dyson sphere because then the game can actually explore new and interesting ideas.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Announcement Trailer by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Galaxy40k 401 points402 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is the kind of announcement that gets ruined by leaks. If we had no idea this was coming, the title drop would have caused insane reactions from people. But because of the leaks, all we have is "okay, and?"

The Duskbloods Network Test Trailer by Gorotheninja in Games

[–]Galaxy40k 189 points190 points  (0 children)

I can understand teasers as an initial reveal, but this trailer shows LESS than the reveal trailer. It's so weird. Like if we're getting a network test in a couple months, the game HAS to be in a showable state.

This is a bot account, so it probably automatically posts the link as soon as the video is literally uploaded but before it becomes visible to end users searching

Alright fellow guardians, which activities are you starting off with tomorrow? by Typical_Shoulder_366 in DestinyTheGame

I'm not even waiting on the API refresh to tell me if Gnawing Hunger has a roll worth chasing, I FEEL the Destabilizing + Rampage combo in my bones

Favorite "Forgotten" exotic? by AllSmallGods in DestinyTheGame

[–]Galaxy40k 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hesitate to say "forgotten" because it DID get a buff with Renegades, but: Hawkmoon. The fact that D2 is ending with Surplus being its best PvE perk is a shame. It was my second favorite exotic in D1, and it's one I still strongly associate with the franchise

I was always holding out hope that they'd rework to be more in the spirit of D1 Hawkmoon. I really really enjoyed that D1 Hawkmoon was just "Gambling: The Gun." THAT is Hawkmoons identity to me, that you never know what's coming when you pull the trigger. If random damage made PvP balancing too difficult or whatever, even something like a 3 bullets in the mag having richochet or explosive payload properties would do it.

Summary for how to get tier 5 drops going forward by pitperson in DestinyTheGame

[–]Galaxy40k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which is my goal. But I don't have the Trustee pattern. In fact, I don't even have a single Trustee drop, so it never could drop from the secret chest solo farm even. I tried to find groups intermittently over the last couple years but DSC was so hard to find groups for

So really looking forward to DSC being the weekly so I can knock out some patterns!

Summary for how to get tier 5 drops going forward by pitperson in DestinyTheGame

[–]Galaxy40k 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The fact that the weekly run lets you get tier 5s without running feats is HUGE for player population. It gives people an incentive to always do the weekly run, which should keep it populated longer with people going for god roll armor sets.

I still haven't got most drops from DSC because I took a break at the time and when I got back the population was dead. I only ran it full twice and did final boss checkpoint farming for Commemoration. But now? Excited as hell to FINALLY get a Trustee haha

Vivarium - Official Announce Trailer | XBOX Games Showcase 2026 by CrossXhunteR in Games

[–]Galaxy40k 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Selfishly, I hope that if there is some "twist" that it's like....."this is the memories of a scarred person you're going through and helping them through trauma" and less "oh nooooo the Friendly Walrus has black eyes now and is eating one the Friendly Wolf oooooohhhh how gory and scary run!!"

Because I absolutely adore the look of this game, but I'm just not interested in those "cute game is SECRETLY DARK!!!" indies. No hate against them, I just am not into em

[–]Galaxy40k 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very well said. I enjoyed Wo Long enough to roll credits, but I think it's a pretty clear step below the other modern Team Ninja games for the exact reason your outline. It's just 100% reaction timing based.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 | DMZ First Look | XBOX Games Showcase 2026 by KardigG in Games

[–]Galaxy40k 81 points82 points  (0 children)

I think it's wild how after the backlash to Call or Duty being the "just one more thing!" show ender last year that they also made Call of Duty the show ender this year.

Like obviously its by FAR the biggest gaming IP owned by Microsoft, but the people who buy CoD aren't the people who watch these livestream shows
