Shall do. I also pre-ordered for PC...
And PS4, because I got drunk. Oops.
I'll get you my blizzard ID when I'm in front of my PC.
I'm looking forward to playing with my TESTies on PC. Hehe. I bought it on both PC and PS4. Because I got drunk. For all the bad publicity, the first game got WAY better with The Taken King. Well worth the time.
I just installed Warframe. I read an article saying it was like Destiny, and worth playing. Is there a storyline to follow?
I have not played in quite some time, but I've played around 70 hours. AFAIK there is much more of a developed story experience now than when I was playing. I've been meaning to get back into it.
*There was a loose story when I was playing. It has been more developed/expanded over time.
Cool. Thanks for the info. I just played the first few minutes. Seems pretty neat. I'll try some more tomorrow.
Played it on PS4, its more of the same but more polished. Hard to say if they will continue this quality of story telling but first impressions are good.
The strike is fun too though if you told me it was Destiny 1 I would have bought it too.
you now have 4 skills: Grenade, Melee, class specific thing (like dodge) and supers.
Classes feel fresh and well designed, lots of abillity synergy. The ArcStrider for instance refreshes his dodge on melee kills and melee kills refresh dodge.
Dodge also increases the range of melee, melee kills trigger health regeneration, and dodging also leaves a damage lightning field.
Very little room for customization though so it might get old fast.
Excited to play a new destiny game tho!

Great breakdown. I've been playing nightly since the beta started on PS4, and am quite enjoying it.
Not yet. I just asked the Glorious Leader a couple days ago, and we're looking to gauge interest.
From the amount of people I have from the OP, that shouldn't be an issue though.

I'll happily pay 30 bucks a year to play the game/get DLC. The first one just got better and better.
Sweet. We'll see you there.

Difference in expectation, I suppose. I bought the original Destiny and the first DLC. Seeing how desperately tiny the additions to the game that the DLC offered was the final straw for me.(Couldn't see the fun in doing the same raid over and over again with random, often shitty, payouts) I don't wish to bash folks who love it (Who am I to say anything? I spent nearly a grand on a game that isnt even out yet) I simply wish to voice my caution. Companies will charge as much $$ as they can for as little content as they can get away with. It is a disturbing trend and I think Destiny is one of the worst perpetrators of it.

Well since I never played Destiny 1 but I heard good reviews from my buddy, I'll give it a shot.
I have no problem paying money to buy games and updates as long as I enjoy the game. The devs need to make some money... And I'm happy to pay them for a job well done.
Definitely understand though not liking the feeling of having to pay for stuff that you don't like or stuff that is not relevant to you - it feels like a tax, and nobody likes taxes.

I actually concur. For the price, there wasn't near enough content on the original couple DLCs. At all. I bought the vanilla, played for a while, then put it down. Played a while later, after the following couple updates, put it down. Then they dropped The Taken King, and they revamped the entire game. It became amazing. Like fucking amazing. I couldn't stop playing.
Now, they've taken what they learned, and packed it into a new game. And content-wise, they've started that they want it to have more new content, on a much faster schedule, than the original. Far more frequently than one huge update once a year.
So I for one am optimistic, but I completely understand and appreciate your scepticism.

Absolutely. I'm the kind of person where I will generally allow the product to do the talking for it. Got burned with destiny, burned with NMS, and uncomfortably groped by Space Engineers; I want to give Destiny 2 every benefit of the doubt and will keep an eye on it, but I remain wary of the infamous game-destroying boardroom intervention that AAA titles have been susceptible to lately.
