Lame . So what's the best launch game to get at this point? Was planning on D2 day one but no I'll wait. Thanks
I'd give the free version a try to see if you like it. I play mostly solo as well, but there are definitely things that will be harder for you without a group. A lot of PvE aspects of Destiny 2 have matchmaking luckily.
Honestly the moment to moment gameplay is pretty damn fun. Some of the best "gun feel" in any console shooter. The game just feels good to play and it rewards you visually and audibly when you land a headshot on the myriad of aliens...
But the story is a mess. An awful mess many of us who played the original since launch and all of the expansions and the sequel and its expansions still cannot begin to comprehend.
And this is marred by an interface to access the game's content that is an absolute nightmare to wrap your head around initially.
BUT, if you can slog through the weird way they've set up getting to their quest lines and obtuse "light based" leveling system, it's a fun experience with some graphically impressive locations that still manage to wow me. Their art pipeline is godly.
As to grouping, there are some activity that you'll be auto grouped into, but no one talks and it's just like the regular solo missions. You kill aliens, get loot, and proceed to the end of the level.
Raids absolutely require grouping, but they're not mandatory experiences. Some of the exotic (super rare unique) guns require doing PVP goals or grouped missions to obtain. But none of the Exotic gun quests are mandatory.
I mostly have played solo without issue. But I rather do enjoy the PvP.
YupI have this sinking feeling that Beyond Light in general will end up seeing a last minute second delay.
Yeah. Destiny 2 is native 4K on my One X. Yes at 30fps, but I figured the SX should at least be able to do 1440p60. 1080p in 2020 is just not acceptable.1080p on the series S is likely going to be a disappointment, The machine was hyped as "producing the same graphics and performance as the series X but at 1440p", it seems to be falling short in a number of titles so far.
You get a supersampled image that looks way cleaner than native 1080p.Yeah this. And what happens to all that horse power if you play on a 1080p screen?
Not only that but microsoft said that it would be the same performance wise as Series X but at 1440p. The game on series X being 4k but 1080p on series S appears to indicate that the gap between them is greater than MS has led us to believe.Yeah. Destiny 2 is native 4K on my One X. Yes at 30fps, but I figured the SX should at least be able to do 1440p60. 1080p in 2020 is just not acceptable.
Just give nextgen consoles PC settings and I'll be happy but i get your point it does already look great i just want more lolThey need to be enhanced?
I've always rather liked the Destiny 2 textures. I think the game really pops in 4K on the One X. I was doing quests in the Forsaken quest line last night (since I had never done them when it first came out) and I was rather impressed with the fidelity of what was on display in the Tangle Shore (or whatever it's called). The screen space reflections are so good and the materials on the armor up close still look really crisp to me.
Downsample hopefullyYeah this. And what happens to all that horse power if you play on a 1080p screen?
I really assumed that the next gen versions would be there on November 10.
Pretty damn disappointed. I wanted to jump into the new campaign with 60 FPS on consoles the day it launched.

It's mostly down to preference. I prefer somewhere in the 90's.Ok PC players as a console player most of my life what is the sweet spot for FOV for Destiny? Or any game for that matter
It must be texture filtering then it looks amazing on a high end rigI'm not even sure the PC version uses different (enhanced) textures from the consoles. The Digital Foundry analysis on the One X upgrade doesn't mention lesser quality textures on the One X and PS4 Pro compared to the PC. The PC advantages being: frame rate, texture filtering, shadow quality and LOD.
1080p on the series S is likely going to be a disappointment, The machine was hyped as "producing the same graphics and performance as the series X but at 1440p", it seems to be falling short in a number of titles so far.
what happened to them? Also spot on impression.Sony owned Bungie continues with its blatantly anti-consumer practices by forcing people to pay for a free field of view slider on the PS5. The sooner they are stopped the better. Also PS5 not having the Smart Delivery support is a sad indictment of the poor shape that Destiny 2 Beyond Lift is in. For shame.
This post dedicated to the memory of Trim.
I expect this issue will be recurrent and potentially get much worse as the gen progresses, I would be getting pretty shaky if i was sitting on a series S pre-order right now, I suspect many people will come to regret not getting a series X instead.Yeah it has a 1/3 GPU power where 1440 P is more like half as demanding as 4k, the math never worked on Microsoft's claim. We'll probably see a mix of 1080/1440 and as time goes on more and more <1080 (I think there's already a 900P game on Series S, Yakuza?)
Is there a video where I can see the FOV slider being used on the PC?
I have an idea of what it does, but have never seen it.
Ah!
Just go 105 immediately FOV and get used to it. It is so much better.
That was the ceiling, like Xbox One X, and Pro with 4k, not all games hit that, doesn't make the messaging inaccurate. They mention up to I believe.1080p on the series S is likely going to be a disappointment, The machine was hyped as "producing the same graphics and performance as the series X but at 1440p", it seems to be falling short in a number of titles so far.
With Cyberpunk eating the month of november and its marketing ramping up exponentially this month, I wouldnt be surprised with Beyond Light slips to December 10th.
I think it decreases the possibility of motion sickness.Does moving the camera back increase the possibility of motion sickness?
