I imagine bio ware is sitting back taking notes on what not to do for anthems end game content.

I can't believe this was even his opinion of what end game is... He's basically admitting, "yes we know we don't have much in our game, so I hope you guys can make friends to have fun!"

Did he really say that? I don't believe it.

Who over 30 makes new friends, I've already made as much friends as I can manage in real life and the best thing is I don't have to see them anymore.

I've been gaming with the some of the same friends for decades. Destiny means nothing compared to that. No game does. I feel sorry for anyone who would put any game above friends. Stop worrying about loot, what features were in D1 Y3 but not in D2. What the meta is, why there are no rolled weapons or grind, NF timers or whatever else you think your entitled to. Just grab a few friends shoot shit and have fun. I don't see what's more rewarding than that. If you can honestly tell me what else in a video game is more important than gaming with your buds I'll give you a solid +1.

In fairness, D1 was made much better by the clanmates I hung with. Raids were a blast. T-bagging dead teammates in the Oryx raid. Shoulder charging them off the jumping parts. Doing crota for the crux that finally landed on try number 84. Dozens of great VOG runs. Crucible, especially private matches, was a blast. Favorite time period was probably right when HOW started. Weapon rolling, iron banner, new PVE content. The clan was fun. We started separating about mid-way through The Taken King though. Now, everyone who is left just usually does their own thing. Mostly schedule issues. I'm only on Saturdays usually and they play on weeknights. A lot of people complain that the game is for casuals now. If that is true, and it may be, then the problem may be compounded by the fact that a "casual" does not usually have a commitment to a clan of friends (by their very nature). I am a casual because I cannot commit to the time and energy it takes to make friends in the game sufficient to sustain an ongoing, meaningful gaming relationship (work, 4 kids, responsibility, yada yada yada.) A game that is set up for casuals on one hand, but that requires a strong base of friends on the other hand, is not practical. In that scenario, both "casuals" and the more serious players suffer - one from an inability to enjoy the fullness of the game and the other from an inability to enjoy longevity. Destiny 1 had its ups and downs for sure. I think the problem here is that we may have been expecting a D2 universe that expanded on D1. Instead, we got a new game that brought us back to step 1. It will be good after 2 DLCs, I'm sure of it. But it's hard not to feel like a child who just got his lolly pop taken away and replaced with a box of raisins...or celery.

Oh no, he did not say that did he...seriously.??!! Man does he think D2 is some kiddie cartoon that teaches life lessons with Care Bears This is kind of embarrassing imo. Jeeze.....still kind of in shock....

You can't be serious he said that right??? LOL October 10th is almost here and I'm heading back to Mordor. I got called an idiot for me spending 100 dollars on shadow of war while some people did the same thing. This community is full of hypocrites. No wonder why bungie doesn't even take its community seriously anymore. They don't even acknowledge our feedback sometimes

It’s ok man. No one wants to be your friend anyway.

Im in mcdonalds, reading the forums, on ma phone, geezer looks at me, hes by the condiments "wheres the salt???" I pass him my phone.

can someone add the Friends Intro song to Destiny 2 trailer?...just something that would be funny

Fun fact: The game's title was originally going to be "My Little Desiny: Friendship is Space Magic," but there were legal problems.

"Friendship", what a load of lip service garbage. I am so over pathetic little people trying to take a high moral stance to win over the gullible masses, they use words like friend, like, love, duty of care etc in the most inappropriate places such as video games. These kinds of people are the ones that after shaking your hand you need to count your fingers as they are always looking to gain something from you. When a rep of a game development company starts using such terms I will no longer have anything to do with that company, their role is to make a product worth buying and worth playing not espouse saccharine coated bs in order to portray themselves as "nice people" in the hope that suckers will fall for it and decide "oh its not a bad game cos the people are nice". When people are false/fake with you it is showing you the greatest disrespect imo.
