I don't care about a gameplay reveal

[spoiler]For those who will actually read this i'll explain, otherwise there will be a tl:dr at the bottom. [/spoiler] So we all know about the upcoming gameplay reveal on May 18th; I'm sure we are all very hyped and excited about this upcoming tidbit of the sequel to everyone's favorite scifi shooter. But it's not all good. I'm gonna step in front of this hype train to hopefully get some people to ask the right questions of bungie; because honestly I feel we need to question this game or else we'll end up with a repeat of year 1. so these are just some things i'd like to suggest to the community to get them thinking. 1. Destiny has never had an issue with gameplay. The gameplay, be it guns, abilities, melee etc, have, for me at least, always been very solid. Perhaps destiny's best attribute. I don't need to be shown something I'm already fairly confident will be of pretty good quality. 2. Will weapons be balanced in pvp and pve independently? or will we have a repeat of the last couple of years? 3. Will characters be fleshed out this time around? or will we be expected to read grimoire cards? 4. Will we have in game lfg? or proper matchmaking systems in order to find groups for a primarily coop game? 5. 30 fps? 60 fps? 6. Content...content....content. Bungivision has said they have a plan to supply us with that steady drip of goodness. But what does that mean? will there actually be a steady stream of content; no not just content [b]quality[/b] content? 7. What kind of grind are we in for exactly? 8. Will microtransactions continue to encroach into the game ? could we be facing a call of duty situation? 9. Should we be expecting a demo or the beta/will the beta be indicative of the final product? So I know we all can't wait for destiny to come out. and we're all very excited. But please just think about what theyre showing us; think about what you want or don't want. And be sure to question what's going on. tl:dr we're all really hyped, but we need to ask the important questions. Will destiny 2 be a big improvement? or will it be the next call of duty? with some graphics updgrades, but another rehash of the same old stuff?

  • 1. This isn't really a question. Or even a thought provoking comment. More of a general statement. 2. I hope so. If the changes to the crucible have shown one thing, it's that PvE is very much an active and important part of this game and should be treated with equal consideration when it comes to cause and effect for changes that affect both sides. 3. With the direction that they were going, the best way to flesh the character of the guardian out would be to change the game format almost entirely to a freedom of choice type game, instead of this "everything is on rails and cannot be changed" type path. This is an unlikely change to the game, so their best course of action would be to try and define the characters that our guardians are, there's still the freedom of choice as to what tools we use for the most part, but I would appreciate if they didn't try to "fix" every creative approach to the problems that they throw at us. If someone finds some way to do something in a way that is smarter, lower risk, and generally easier than being balls deep in a shitstorm of chaos, then let them do their thing. 4. I would hope so. Several games that have had very well polished methods for doing just that have done quite well for themselves. 5. Why is this #5? I mean, it's not an issue for me in the slightest. But, i would chose graphical quality over quantity of frames. But hey, if bungie can optimize the game to do both, then I've got no problem either way, as long as it runs and plays smoothly. 6. This one is actually more important than #6 when you make a big game that caters to a wide audience, you have to make sure you have a lot of content for everybody. This means, that you have to have enough options in PvP to keep it fresh and interesting with events (plural, as in, more than iron bananer once a month) and enough playlists to sate everyone's palate. (Aka, if people like mayhem then don't take it out of the rotation. until people get bored of it at least.) the same for PvE. For the love of all that is sugar coated and diabetic inducing do more with PvE than "here are some raids, you can do them once a week for stuff." You are on the right track with the weekly featured raids, but there still needs to be more for players than just raids. Queens wrath was a good event. Make more events similar to it. Heck, people would probably love it if you brought back the HoW patrol events for a week. The point is, keep the game fresh and interesting by always having something different than last week for players to sink their teeth into. 7. Hopefully not a bad one. Hopefully it will be consisted of a lot of different mini grinds for a lot of little rewards that add up to a big reward. Like mini quests for perks on a weapon, so that when you are done, you have a weapon that [u]you[/u] made to suit [u]your[/u] needs. 8. Hopefully these aren't a thing. Destiny does not need them. Destiny should not want for them. 9. Yes, there will be a beta. It will be out around the same time as the beta was for destiny. Likely, it will exist to further confirm the validity of the new concepts that destiny 2 will present. Since at this point, there's not a whole lot they could do to change the final product. Unless the beta absolutely sucks ass, then we can expect a huge delay in the release date and several canceled pre-orders as they try and put out the flaming turd that they left on the doorstep of the world. But this situation is pretty unlikely.
