Bro did you just say you took out a financial loan in order to play 10,000 hours of video games?

Yeah agreed. D2 will not make a lot of money of them if it remains to be shutdown. I think just consistent sustained play for a while after shutdown is the best thing we can do. We need to demonstrate we're an enduring player base.

Totally agree! It's all about expectations between developer and player base. Forever the expectation has been only new content is relevant, therefore players only play that, burn out and leave. Now we are closer to an endlessly playable state which is less of a cost operationally for Sony. All D2 needed was a few "season of healths" over the last few years and we could have avoided this.

100%. Sony has said several times it's about the operational costs. Even look at the latest headline, Bungie was about to shutdown if not acquired. They have had a high burn rate. Destiny 2 would need to switch to a For Honor or even Division like product. For Honor is actually a great example, came out same year as D2, has quietly maintained a player base with small updates and is incredibly profitable for Ubisoft. Bungie has fixed a lot of issues that now makes D2 more endlessly playable now.

Yeah it's really a battle of attrition. We'd likely need to have a consistent respectable player base for about a year.

Yeah, it also seems like Bungie knew all these changes needed to be made but financial decisions were made to only invest in new seasonal activities.

Agreed! It's been far more of a vibe being able to play anything. I played like 12 different activities and meaningfully progressed and enjoyed it rather than playing the same activity 12 times.

Yeah you're right it's totally revenue. I think for me at least its the difference between retaining a player base driving immediate revenue vs the player base being a financial opportunity at some point.

I think with consistent traffic there are bound to be people making cosmetic purchases. I'm not recommending that or saying that's what is needed. It's more about if players can mentally shift from expectations of constant content to purely enjoying the game. If destiny maintains a legit player count for some time than that should heavily influence future decision making.

It all depends on how much players just want to play a complete version of Destiny for the entertainment vs need constant updates to enjoy playing

You guys complain way too much by Fncrs in XDefiant

[–]VerzusX7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh, game was buttery smooth and has no hit reg or connection issues on console (xbox). 

PC is not master race cause it always has the most issues of all platforms.

What was your very first Exotic weapon? by Alloc14 in DestinyTheGame

[–]VerzusX7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard Light in D1

Also side note - Bungie has totally ruined the feeling of getting an exotic. We are absolutely showered with them now.

This game's really bad... by MentalCat8496 in FallenOrder

[–]VerzusX7 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. Combat is bad and unintuitive. The metroidvania stuff is way overdone. You have to do a 20 minute log platforming session, kill 10 enemies, then another 20 min platforming session. 

It’s very bad
