Wish I could care but I never got to play Destiny 2 since they never supported Linux. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’ll do a replay of the original Marathon in honor of old-Bungie. 🍷
See ya starside!
I’ve never really played Destiny. But I get the feeling that Bungie absolutely hates that game and the playerbase. I dont know why.
Well this is called an uninformed opinion. There’s no logic behind it, that’s why you don’t know why.
Should never have existed!
100%
Been dead to me since no Linux support.
Yeah I own Destiny 2, but when I converted to Linux, I stopped playing it. It wasn’t good enough to dual boot for one game.
I miss when video game companies made video games and not “not live service models.”
Lol, I remember release - it couldn’t run on Linux because of DRM so I never even played it.
Around the same time WarThunder got massive upgrade - native client ran like charm with better graphics and Vulkan rendering.
Fuck you bungie. I’ve played over 1000h in WT.
I’d love if SKG was able to get some wins before they pull the plug entirely. Allow the community to keep it running, let them restore the lost content, unlock/add cosmetics, etc etc.
A guy can dream…of essentially what games were 15-20 years ago.
If I could play the two games from start to finish right now, I probably would. As it stands, I don’t regret sitting this out.
This is the game I put more time on my entire life. I ditched it back in 2022-2023. Greedy ruin everyone’s lives, that’s all I can say.
Shit man, I quit after a couple years of playing the first one. Too much time researching and not enough playing. That’s when I decided I was done with these games that don’t give you all the info you need in the game itself. Don’t think I ever even installed 2. Doesn’t even work on Linux.
Do you mean it doesn’t work natively on Linux or via Proton?
Neither. Anticheat.
via Proton. Per the ProtonDB, it’s “borked”. The Anti-Cheat is overly zealous and modern day corpos at Bungie are the kind that think all Linux users just wanna hack.
They have an active stance against Linux. Destiny and Destiny 2 doesn’t work on Linux. I would have played it.
I swore that Bungie was dead to me the moment they walked back their plans to carry player gear over from D1 to D2. Every single thing I’ve ever learned about D2 has been secondhand and it has all completely validated that decision.
Now that they’ve given up on it they are going to open it up to Linux, right?
Hahahaha
I bailed on Destiny 2 after Shadowkeep when they announced content vaulting and I never looked back. The writing was on the wall back then that the game will end up in a ditch. My experience with Destiny 2 is basically frozen as of Shadowkeep so it’s relatively positive but I just can’t understand how anyone could tolerate player hostile decisions Bungie has made over the years. Here is Aztecross’ explaining some of them including pay to win elements. His video is already two years old so I’m sure even more nonsense has been added to the game since. Destiny franchise started out as something special but it died as a horrific heap of anticonsumer garbage due to unchecked greed of a corporation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsIdPWB2_JA
Ngl this video pissed me off so much just now that I don’t want to play any games with any microtransactions at all.
Devs will try anything to make money except making a fun game
I bailed on D2 shortly after Curse of Osiris even though I bought the first 2 expansions. Never even played the second expansion. I think I had around 2000 hours in D1 and D2 just didn’t feel the same. I didn’t like the changes they made so I just stopped playing it altogether.
The Destiny games were a little too corny for me. But a lot of people liked them so hopefully something else comes along
Unpopular Opinion: It should have ended after The Final Shape, not hobbled along.
Not unpopular at all. That’s precisely when I stopped.
Me: “The Final Shape, huh? Is this going to be the final expansion? I’m several DLCs behind.”
Bungie: “We’ve got another one planned. And a Star Wars crossover too.”
Me: “Oh fuck off now. Peace out.”
I am eager to hear Skeletor’s opinion on this.
Man, I was hooked for a long time before I woke up and smelled the business model. I haven’t touched it in years, but I do miss the lore. Always thought it was their strong suit. Maybe they can set a better, non-live-service game in the same universe, but this is Bungie. Not gonna happen…
I bought the Destiny PS4 when the game launched. I knew I was basically signing up for World of Halocraft and all the bs that comes with it.
But what did surprise me was how poor the execution was. Every single DLC made all the previous gear/items COMPLETELY USELESS.
isn’t this how MMOs work ? you’re asking for horizontal fearing which is less traditionally(GW2 does it) but most MMOs do not.
FFXIV also kinda avoids this as well, if you grind for endgame gear it tends to carry you to a little over the halfway point or to the end of the next expansion before the patch cycles start. Like gear from 7.55 (last patch of old expansion) should carry you through most of 8.0 (new expansion launch).
Not exactly. Did you play the first seasons? Basically every dlc there were items you’d farm to buy gear (or something it’s been a decade now and I forget) that became completely obsolete when the next dlc came out.
Most rpgs you can sell those items. But in Destiny you had to delete them.
I played tf out of MMOs. It wouldn’t have stood out to me if it was at all a typical experience.
Yeah. I quit when a green floor item was a higher light level than the legendary yellow emperor launcher.
It was so liberating to just… uninstall and never look back, lol
