I agree that its a game best played with others, but that being said, I spent the vast majority of my time solo in both games. Regardless, Bungie making Kepler a solo space is such a weird choice.

Yeah I mean I've paid for it because I wanted to play the story content. I don't ever play it for the grind anymore - I think quite a few did the same 2 years ago. It felt better to play without the grind for sure...the only thing that stopped me loving it was that people went away because its a game best loved when you're playing with others. Theres so many guns now that I don't worry about getting everything...but maybe thats the problem too. With too many objectives, it can feel pointless as you sense something else will come out in 6 months and smash the current AR I'm focused on. Ah, heck. I dunno. It felt really good to boot it back up. I really enjoy the Journey page actually so I may just do the new story and focus on that as I very much doubt I'll be able to do a Deep Stone Crypt Raid anytime soon.

Wow, is it really 3 years since I played Minecraft?! 😱

I played it a few hours a week up until about 3 weeks ago. I just can't do the grind anymore, its pointless, and not really that much fun anymore. (For me, not others) Bungie is way to focused on Marathon, and them killing everyones light level back down to 10 again just seems really lame and an easy way out for Developers. This steam review pretty much sums it up for me: HOLY JUMPING DREIDELS BATMAN! bungle is releasing a new DLC? AND the servers are going to be busted for at least TWO DAYS!?! AWESOME!!!! what's that? they're also rolling out another round of sunsetting, removing hundreds of hours worth of game missions, grind, activities, a handful of unique areas with narratives and quests, AND all the loot they contained, despite over FIVE years of negative feedback and complaints?? sounds like a BLAST!!! i can't WAIT to have to explain to new players about what happened in the Season of שקל!! wait, say that again?! they're going to make nearly ALL of my armor and most of my guns OBSOLETE by POWER CREEPING them?!?? TAKE MY MONEY!!!! huh, there's more?!? bungie fired ALL of their good composers, so nearly 40% of the soundtrack is just REMIXES of songs we're ALREADY HEARD???? truly a MASTERCLASS in RECYCLING!!!! wait, you've got even more?!? you're telling me the new destination will have NO lost sectors, only THREE armor exotics on launch, in addition to neglecting gambit and crucible for ANOTHER year?? YABBA DABBA DON'T MIND IF I DO!!!!!! I LOVE GIVING BUNGIE MONEY FOR KICKING ME IN THE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Funny you have come back to Destiny James, because I've just bought the next update after a long 12-18 months off it. They've tried to find different ways to answer the new player experience, but as any existing game continually updates, there's probably no one single answer. They've created the 'Portal' page to help new people. I prefer the map but if you don't know how Destiny works, it does the best job of pushing you to do things in the game that you don't need to know how the world map works. Beyond Light weirdly was one of the lesser story beats in terms of the campaign, albeit there were some cracking missions in it. The whole Beyond Light part introduced more so the best aesthetically pleasing raid of the lot and also a few fantastic story and gameplay inside the standalone exotic missions. You've then got to go through the new way they've delivered story campaigns and that takes it up a notch. Its interesting to see the way Destiny has gone. For all the annoyance of where the game has gone, I play campaigns elsewhere and they don't hit as hard as these. I think the gameplay loop is the one they need to focus on - so much going on, its easy to get lost. I have the new campaign which apparently is the best story but the new mechanic could somewhat make it not as exciting. Its not so bad so far after playing one mission. The PvE content now in the game is well worth it for £7.

I've started Beyond Light today which I never got around to buying all those years ago. It's not part of the Legacy Collection but the whole campaign is free within the game which is great. Once that's done, then I can focus on the newer expansions I got yesterday. Slowly finding my feet and getting back into the swing of things. Just done the Praksis mission which was good fun!

It's a shambles that they've had to censor the PC version just to get it on console. They spent years saying they would never do this and now they've bucked at every hurdle.

Bungie are having a sale right now and in which you can get 3 expansions plus other content for around £7. I thought I'd revisit the game after an almost 5 year absence and it's a bit overwhelming , but I think I am slowly finding my feet. There are lots of new things and quite a few old elements that I have forgotten about. I seem to be going through the New Light campaign for returning and new players which is a bit of a recap of sorts. Once that is out of the way I can have a look at the expansions I didn't stick around for. This game is definitely a convoluted mess for returning players, let alone newcomers, and I think Bungie have made a lot of things rather shambolic and bloated. Much of it is a result of sustained development even with the vaulted content, but others are through efforts to drive income particularly when they went solo away from Activision and it looks quite messy. The content included in the Legacy Collection (2025) are:- The Final Shape Standard Edition Lightfall Standard Edition The Witch Queen Standard Edition Beyond Light Pack Shadowkeep Pack Forsaken Pack 30th Anniversary Pack Pit of Heresy Dungeon Shattered Throne Dungeon Grasp of Avarice Dungeon I'm definitely going to look forward to working my way through this content and it may even lead me to purchase some of the newer expansions. I hope this bundle will get more people back to the game but it may be a little late in the day for many and I must say Destiny 2 is one of the least welcoming games for new players and even past veterans because of its approach and execution despite simple and enjoyable gameplay mechanics.

Now on PS5 too. Which has seen the studio censor parts of the game to satisfy Sony etc

Sadly not - I kept a lot of the world saves as we changed the server packs. I’ve had a look but I can’t find one for this pack which means the world is lost to the digital trash pile 😞 Is that Direwolfs building gadgets? I think that would fit in most packs given it just helps with building. FTB Utilities, is this the one that adds teams, chunk loading etc?

I see it's been a while since this was posted, but I'm curious if anyone’s tested out other mod setups around that outpost idea. Been messing with Building Gadgets and FTB Utilities lately, wondering how they could fit into something like this. Does anyone have updated screenshots or a tour of the area now? Would love to see how it’s evolved since the last update.

My last event came about 700th out of over 6300 also got 86th for my age category plus a PB of 44.57. Only 2 events left both in September.

Microsoft use flawed AI image to advertise new jobs🤣

The turnover of staff whilst this idea had lots of momentum hasn't helped and its lost its way. Game didn't have much identity, or wow factor. They can save Bungie by doing a U-turn and really redefining the Destiny roadmap. It still is a huge moneymaker and doesn't take much to bring people into the game. Marathon won't be for many casuals and that kills it immediately.

Whilst we're missing you online mate, at least you're keeping yourself healthy and fit! Pretty good going too, finishing in top 20% is class.

You both need to be in FG club so when the rest of us play, it will collate all of our wins, goals, etc together. I think theres loads more they could do to improve it, like Tournament wins, etc but not sure they'll do that anytime soon after such a big update.

The medals are very hard to collect if you’re a casual gamer/don’t have a large Club. My brother and I have been playing a lot lately and are still yet to get any. We did however win a 2s tournament which I thought would give us something towards the club but it did not.

It's basically a Chinese Battlefield 2024 with an old trademark they purchased. I never bothered with it in the end but it's getting a lot of players. I imagine it's a lot from China and the majority are probably cheating🤣

I've never played Project Zero 🙄. Maybe I'll try on an emulator or I just saw that there are some episodes on Steam, I just wishlisted them.

There have been a few GTA spin offs, I never played it but there was also China Town wars on the DS wasn't there?

You can see it all on google how it play's but it feels old school GTA, more top down rather than modern GTA, the driving is a bit off but everything else is quite good fun.

That might be the one
