Diablo with guns was always the promise. The Division tried and fucked it up, but semi redeemed itself lately. I agree they are going to have to pull a miracle out of their ass in September to get people interested again. Some friends and I are going to take the day off on Tuesday, power through everything in the DLC and be done with it. It's a boring ass game now but we all bought into the season pass hype so at least we'll get our money's worth.

...

It's a completely different genre?

Im not sure why, but D2 just never felt the same. In D1 I ran the raid on every toon asap and had 3 hunters to funnel. However in this i didnt even like it enough to want to raid, i may have missed out but if outside the raid didnt intrigue i dont think the raid alone would have kept me going.

Same here Xexx. Ran the raids regularly in D1 but no desire at all in D2. Don’t even enjoy the mindless single player D2 stuff anymore. All felt so unrewarding and pointless compared to D1.

I didn't play D1, but in D2 I ran the raid one time...and then figured out it was a waste of time. First, I already had most of the raid gear from the clan rewards. But on top of that, most of it wasn't even remotely close to best in slot. So why bother? To collect?

Big issue was the exotics in D2 werent exotics, they were glorified turds. That plus they had the nerve to reuse exotics from the previous game as if reusing assets and a mute guardian werent enough. I can forgive them for the failed attempt to recreate the glory of TTK but i cannot forget them for removing entire landmarks and planets/moons to offer up later on in D2 as paid DLC. Where the motherfuck is my god dam moon? I didnt see it and i was 100000% sure if we got it back as a place to visit it would end up being something we paid for and that alone was enough to not invest in the game.

Dont get it twisted, i feel D2 and D1 still have THE BEST gun and movement mechanics in a shooter to date,..period but that just falls flat when you layer a mind numbing turd on top of it or take away everything that we loved in TTK. Notice i say TTK and not D1 bc D1 was shit until TTK.

chalk me up as another guy who was totally into D1, putting over 1000 hours into the game doing mindless shit, but under 100 hours in D2. I think its like MMOs, once you pop your cherry in a genre its really hard to relive that kill-loot-kill loop. It doesn't help that D2 is worse than D1 in pretty much every way you can imagine. Still absolutely blows my mind how badly bungie has fucked things up.

I'm genuinely curious how people are going to take in Anthem, Bioware's spin on the genre. I want to think I'll be into the game and it might be fun but I'm pretty sure it'll be another Destiny 2 kinda situation.

I'm gonna play D2 next week for the new DLC, doubt i'll play more than 15-20 hours but saw this post on how to min/max stuff the loop, all my chars are at 330-332 light so i'm not even maxxed out. gonna have to login tomorrow and delete a ton of shit since i have my vaults and everything full of useless crap

Regardless of SJW shit, Bioware is a hack studio now with shitty bugs, animations, etc.

playing today to try and prune my shit before dlc tomorrow and it feels very much like returning to an MMO after 2 years (even tho its only been like... six months), i have a fuck ton of stuff i have no idea what to do with and i have no idea what weapons are good and which suck, games that wanna be GAAS services really need a better way for people who haven't played for months or years to get a quick catch up and clean up.

also if you own the season pass you need to "buy" DLC2 for free on the PSN store to authenticate it. not sure on xbox/pc, assume it just kinda works

Last few days, I went through and did all the story quests. There's a quest chain on each planet. Went through all of that, and went from Level 20 216 light, to level 25 and 265 Light.

Been told to jump into Osiris DLC next, to boost Light further, before getting into Warmind. That's fine with me as I'm not in any hurry.

Be sure to do the Prophesy Weapons quest. It is time locked (unless they changed it) to only give you a few parts each week. Hand Cannon, Shotgun (one of the best in game) and end result are all worth it. Pretty cool quest to boot.

Still locked to a few Prophecies per week, quite a bit of grinding. Shotgun is nice.

is the update live? i had to start a 6 gig download today morning, will check back with it tonight but saw all the D2 streamers streaming destiny 1

graviton lance and sunshot actually feel like powerful exotics now, feels nice

Graviton Lance is pretty hilarious, crit kill a mob and it goes flying, explodes then axion bolts come out and blow up anything nearby. Story is short, the two "new" strikes are buffed up versions two Story missions.
