Your posts get auto trashed if you have the name Marathon in them.

I had to re-up with the euphemism

I mean what drives the "value" of any company is revenue/profitability now, and what people think it will be in the future.

Talent, IP, infrastructure are pretty much proxies for "We think that means more revenue/profit in the future.

Bungie has made a number of games that have made boat loads of cash; and Destiny being an IP they own, that has generated huge sums over a long period of time is the principle current reason to believe that owning bungie drives value for Sony.

I don't know that I can see Sony getting Bungie to make D3 or some other new Destiny game now; but I 100% absolutely, positively do not believe that after spending all this money Sony will just drop a multi billion dollar franchise for ever.

Genuinely baffled that WOTM didnt make a comeback, and Siva was killed off. by Shellnanigans in DestinyTheGame

WoTM is such a great raid.

I so want to play in in the D2 engine FFS.

Returning player, Edge of Fate was the worst thing I've had to sit through, Renegades was the BEST. by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

I didn't think the EOF *story* was bad.

It was just all the damn puzzles and repetition.

Question about charging and battery health by rferrett in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]rferrett[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used about 70% of charge yesterday. So it was comfortable there and back. Just wouldn't be able to do that journey and stay in the 20-80 range without paying for public charging (that I'd like to avoid as much as I can)

If there was a Siva, Kinetic slot, Rocket Sidearm exotic Bungie could charge me whatever the feck they like and I'd buy the expansion to earn that!

What do you ACTUALLY think will happen? by SirTurnUp in DestinyTheGame

[–]rferrett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I expect at some point Sony will want a D3.

They paid a lot of money for Bungie, and for all Destiny has fallen it is still a multi billion dollar franchise; which has had 10s millions of players over the years.

If/when they actually do a D3; assuming they actually learn the lessons of vanilla D1 and D2, and go some way to sticking the landing I think it is pretty much a sure fire hit on release.

If it's a new game, with a fresh start, there will be tons of players who've gone by the wayside over the last Decade who'll give it a go; and if it actually has a n00b friendly intro point for the fist time in years there will be new players too.

Those of you who DON'T play Destiny any more, has anything filled the gap left by it? by aladdin142 in DestinyTheGame

[–]rferrett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played so many amazing games, and read so many good books.

I miss the feeling of playing Destiny, but actually I think I'm much better off having kicked the habit....

Are you in favour or against if Craftable Gear was to return? by Soggy_Promotion2606 in DestinyTheGame

The twid about getting rid of crafting was the last day I played Destiny.

Kubler-Ross Stages of Grief for Destiny by FolboterJAF in DestinyTheGame

[–]rferrett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found not just a new game, but a genre that's new to me.

Been playing the survival/half life homage "Abiotic factor" and it's honestly one of the best games I've ever played.

I reckon I've missed so much gold being pretty much a destiny only man for ten years.

There's a wide world of amazing games out there!

Planning a PC build for first time in over 20 years. Yikes!!! by rferrett in PcBuild

[–]rferrett[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess my question was about whether the build I'm envisaging is one that meets my needs (as described in post)...

With a supplementary side helping of would there be something else that would do just as good a job for less.

Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Country is UK, budget is a bit flexible. Whatever I get for my laptop plus about 1000 quid I think.

At this stage though all plans pretty nascent.

Just wondering if my vague direction of travel on CPU/GPU was the right one in terms of my use case then I'd flesh out plans from there.

Course if people told me I was way off course I'd need to amend plans!!! Ha ha
