If you are planning on spending money on plat to support the game anyways, there are a few frames worth spending plat on (if you are console, wait for a daily discount):

The resolution bump unfortunately isn’t enough without something to improve the optics. For games and the like my biggest issue with the vive/rift isn’t the resolution. It’s the glare/god rays. The PSVR through HDMI, or a Gear VR is far more comfortable to stare at high contrast scenes or watch video on, because they…

The screen door effect isn’t even really the worst part, it’s the fidelity necessary for producing sharp images where needed, such as text or virtual desktop duplication. Unfortunately this isn’t quite enough to fix that, though it is a step in the right direction certainly. It was getting embarrassing that mobile…

A service like this doesn’t require 100% uptime. Heck, it doesn’t even require constant backups really, because if something happened to the data they could just reset it and apologize and no one would really raise a fuss - it’s not really meaningful data anyways. So yeah, this is really cheap to keep around on a VM…

There is nothing wrong with amazon hub/locker - there is a problem in that this sort of system isn’t standard for all package delivery by now. It’s simple, effective, and massively more convenient than PO boxes. It’s stupid in this day and age that we still have to play games with package companies to get our…

Bungie doesn’t seem to understand that in their quest for - wholly unnecessary because it will never be competitive as long as it’s peer-to-peer - crucible balance, they’ve made the game overall much more boring. They say they will listen more, but they fail to acknowledge the gorilla in the room.

Yeah I knew about Zeb but hadn’t actually seen the art, now I see how much the ships and such were all pulled straight from his art as well.

If you have the time to get a range of family members in it and watch their reactions and play the silly party games from the playroom - absolutely, just because it’s a great unique experience. For one person it’s more a question just how much you are interested in VR. If you have a capable pc though, go for rift or…

I’m pretty sure removing access to content and achievements with DLC like this is against at least one of the console maker’s developer policies, isn’t it? I’m surprised Microsoft in particular didn’t ding them for this in certification.

Their words and beliefs do matter because it drives their decision making. You wanting a particular synergy or class trait doesn’t mean they won’t go out of their way to make it less useful (see: the death of the defender class and near-death of bubbles). I didn’t say there weren’t any, but what is there is minimal…

There are always *some* synergies people find in some level of content, the problem I’m alluding to is Bungie’s efforts to actively dissuade that over time (e.g. the near-removal of defender bubbles, removal of revive mechanics from warlocks, nerfing of class ability behaviors during D1 that removed their…

Bottom line here is I don’t really see anything that adds fun to the game, and a lot that takes it away. Fun is more important than balance, especially balance that is geared towards a fundamentally flawed PvP mode that they really, really need to separate from the main game.

They say they are listening but they keep…

There is no such thing as a tanking main class in this game though. Bungie has even said as much. They don’t believe in class synergies which I think is one of the weakest parts of the game honestly.

We’ve said it since Day 1 though, Bungie puts too much effort into having a perfect message, and too much fear of the backlash when they are wrong. The vast majority of the community understands when you say something you are planning is tentative, and is willing to forgive you when you apologize for not making that…

“but perhaps most noteworthy is the studio acknowledging its communication issues and promising to do better”

“Ranked PVP is easily the most requested feature for hardcore competitive players.”

How about the widespread anger for treating an entire platform that made Bungie who they are today like they don’t exist? The blatant anti-competitive business practices where they exclude Xbox from all media/discussions/streams should be getting far more coverage, it’s caustic to the community even beyond the “timed…

Kotaku: could you please do some coverage on how Bungie continues to get worse and worse about treating Xbox players as if they don’t exist? And now with the advent of PC release, third class consumers? They’ve now gone so far as to even leave out Xbox in platform announcements on stream, and reddit is riddled with…

Yes but it wouldn’t be Destiny if people on the internet didn’t scream at a single piece of content asking “that’s all there is?!”, and ignoring the fact the bungie does fragmented reveals like this every. single. release.

The decent GeChic monitors are $100 more. I got the 13" 1080p touchscreen monitor on sale, and I love it - I’ve taken it on trips along with the xbox one s and it’s a great combo (and also a nice second touch monitor for a laptop... and I use it when I’m home on a vesa mount as my secondary monitor for my desktop...).…
