Destiny 2 is Phil Spencers Desert Island Game
- Thread starter Gowans
- Start date
You know he wishes there was a timeline where Bungie got to do Destiny but still be an Xbox studio
I wish it were simpler to play that game without resorting to guides
I get so confused that I end up dropping it and only coming back when a new expansion comes out.

The best part is, it's entirely the fault of his predecessors.
AFAIK Jason Jones tried to pitch Destiny to Microsoft Game Studios on multiple occasions but continually got rebuffed and told to focus on Halo.
wat
The only thing in Destiny could ever possibly need a guide for is a Raid. And even then, you're playing with 5 other people.
My coworker is a huge Xbox fan and when we circle around to discussing miscues I always raise the point that I bet Phil wishes he was in the position he is in now when it came down to making Bungie do Halo or force them out. If the Destiny franchise was Xbox exclusive it for me would be reason enough alone to own an Xbox.
Electricity, a gaming rig, etc. are also very odd things for desert islands to have, but in these sorts of hypothetical scenarios it's assumed that the island somehow has everything needed to play the game in question. If you're stranded on an actual desert island, videogames are going to be absolutely least-concern :P
Untrue. Stuff like Outbreak and Izanagi's is extraordinarily difficult to figure out on your own.
no, there's a bunch of arbitrary youtube bait, usually in the form of pursuits/exotic quests. like, you're gonna figure out to do whisper of the worm without a guide? the stuff in dreaming city and its weekly cycles? i haven't done the quest for izanagi's because the starting quest step is incredibly vague and i just can't be arsed.
Yes and they were Mario themed shoes. Wait until tomorrow and that's another thread.
Yeah the internet is totally the deal breaker in this fun desert island scenario where we can make our own rules.
True. That's a bit different though. He said he can't play the game without guides and those are just side quests that you never need to do. 90% of the game would not require any sort of guide.
Omg please post the Spencer ties his shoe laces vid. Man is just wholesome <3
Praise him for helping bring PSO2 over lol. Speaking of which that's a spring release so we should get a solid date soon
Oh if we're just talking about campaign and playlist strikes / crucible / gambit then sure!
But a big part of the appeal in Destiny is "what's new", and it tends to involve the batshit crazy quests we get every so often and a lot of them you'll need a guide for.
If we already establish this island has power and internet, maybe access to reddit wouldn't be too big a stretch though lol
Not at all, I use guides for Exotic quests and to this day I still don't get what to do for the ascended challenge in The Dreaming city.
It doesn't help since everyone opts out of public chat / voice.
I mean if it got updated indefinitely and you could play with your buddies it's hard to think of a better choice
There seems to be an upward trend of people just posting threads with videos and / or quotes with no actual input from the OP themselves, as if they needed to be the first to post it.
Its becoming yet another annoying habit this forum seems to have.
It would be my choice to. I don't play anymore because it requires to much time that I could be using to do other shit but most of that other shit wouldn't be on a desert island.
At the end of the day Bungie would still end up independent, unless MS treated Destiny like Minecraft.
