Ah. I didn't know this. I dropped Destiny 2 shortly after completing the main story and never really kept up with it. I tried to get back in not too long ago, but all of the DLC was still at full price on the PS Store. It's a good deal for sure imo.
I believe this is a Steam feature that is still in development and it's not yet known what the offerings to devs will be.
I don't really know. I thought this as well last gen, but then Sony came in and sold 100 million PS4s.
A lot of people became multi-platform gamers or switched. A lot of the above was just icing on the cake apparently.
I played some comp yesterday with my Luna. Luna still works great, I'd argue it's even better as a 150. Doesn't feel changed to me except you can't spam shots anymore
But I guess you're already convinced. Bye

Destiny 2: New Light. Seems like they're aiming to use this as a relaunch of sorts for the game.
I kinda feel like they should remake Destiny 1 and 2 into one big scifi epic for next gen with all previous raids and content upgraded for next gen plus cross save and crossplay with matchmaking. Also they could fix the story finally
I`m not surprised tbh. With the release of Forsaken, the price for the main game dropped drastically and the game even ended up in PS Plus and Humble Bundle. Bungie+Activision wanted to get new players on board, players who then pay 60 to 100 bucks for the new content. So with Destiny (main game) going F2P, Bungie still sticks to the same tactic...
It's in limited availability. So while we don't know many details, those interested can get in.
What? The only thing on eververse is cosmetics. All the meaningful loot drops regularly. There is meaningful loot all over the place from legendary pinnacle weapons to exotic quests with amazing rewards. Your argument makes no sense.

IKELOS is OK, but you really want Threat Level. The exotics are still useful. None of the activities are that relevant in terms of content though; people still do the Y1 raids occasionally but it's pretty hard to find a good team for them if nobody on your friends list feels like doing it.
Oh sorry, I thought you were talking about the PS4 DLC going everywhere. I missed the point on this one.

Probably $30 - $40 USD like in the past. They're also apparently continuing the trend of having paid seasons like with the Annual Pass, but instead of paying for them up front, you just buy a pass for the season(s) you actually want. Ought to know the specifics in a few hours.
Come on Sony, get with the times. I want PS4 Cross save so I can stop grinding new characters for my other systems.
I'm pretty sure their deal with Activision predicated on them keeping their IP rights
Didn't expect the steam announcement. That's very cool. Now I don't need to use glosc just to get my controller working. Unfortunately, not surprised that Sony isn't participating. Hopefully enough pressure will change that relatively soon so that I can play with my friend

I personally wouldn't be surprised if there just isn't a Destiny 3. With any luck, they'll instead release a new client that combines the content of D1 and D2, and then just focus on adding to that going forward. Would also be nice since it could coincide with the next-gen consoles. Probably a ways off if they do end up doing that, and it's just speculation, but god do I want it.
This. I didn't want to say it out of fear of getting knocked with a board warning, but this is essentially it. If MS had its way at the beginning of the generation, we wouldn't be hearing a peep out of them about cross play.
Again, I've always been of a mind that cross SAVES shouldn't be blocked, though. Sony definitely needs to come off that high horse. If somebody has a PC and PS4, chances are they're gonna migrate over to that anyhow. Might as well make the transition as smooth as possible for them.
To the bolded above does that even matter? when EVERYONE else is playing together and PlayStation isn't included it's a bad look.
Considering you could potentially meet up with players who have DLC weapons and armour, you will need to download the DLC, or at the very least, compatibility packs.
