Screen Shake....more like Screen Earthquake

As we all know we got Flinch = your Guardian got hit by something which makes you yerk back from the impact. Its a Gameplay Mechanism and not what im going to talk about. Im talking about the purely cosmetic Screen Shake. Examples are Explosions, Cabal Pods landing, Enemies dying in a dramatic Animation, bigger caliber hitting the ground (these stationary vex eyes come to mind) but nothing that actively damages the player and would be considered gameplay mechanics. It is combined with a nausea inducing shaking of the screen. It is heavily disorientating and if you have more than one, or worse combined with flinch the screen is shaking so heavily for so long that im losing the entire focus of my screen i have to look away and this usually means im going to get killed. I recognize this issue more and more with turning older. Back when Destiny 2 came out i was in my Mid 20s now its almost 10 years later and let me tell you that makes a difference. If i am running Strikes or any Group related Content i have to take a break after every run or i would get headaches, feel nauseous, churning stomach, disorientated. And no flashing lights are not a problem for me, i play plenty of other games with lot of flash like effects without the heavy screenshaking and im completely fine. Therefore im here, on my knees. Literally BEGGING! Please give us the Option to disable Screen Shaking or at least lessen it by a substantial amount.

  • The screen shake on recoil is a stupid mechanic in the game. It's like the developers think one fires a shotgun with the buttstock resting on one's forehead (don't do this in real life btw).

      That's just how Bungie has started adding difficulty to the game. "If you don't think it's hard enough now, let's see how you do while playing during an epileptic episode." Oh yeah, and poor Hippy got laid off, so there's probably no accessibility lead anymore.

      • The one that bothers me is, and I don't know when or why it started, but when a public event starts (and this only happens periodically) the screen dims down further than its supposed to. To the point that the screen is nearly black. It sticks that way for a moment or two, then as if someone hit a light switch, BOOM, bright lights! It really messes with my eyes sometimes.

          Yeah, that makes no sense at all. I'm 51 and extremely prone to motion sickness. My eyes are slow to focus and I find the screen shake to be annoying, but not overly so. (A good example is when a warsat drops). However, I never feel nauseous or disoriented because of it. Not in D2 or D1 even though so many other games do cause those symptoms for me. If you are only in your 30s and this is slowly getting worse for you then I don't care what your checkup said. Something is not right with you. Having said that, in no way would I object to getting rid of that crap. It doesn't add anything to QoL to have that shaking going on.

          • People do have these issues and it's serious. But, this guy is over exaggerating though. I'd keep explaining your issues short and simple without being dramatic.

          • You are either exaggerating or you have a serious medical problem, because I never seen the screen shake like you describe it.

            • I like when I jump from a high place and my whole gun goes into my crotch.
