I've also been impressed by Lana, especially in her SD debut match against Naomi.

Smackdown! Live is coming off of one of the worst PPVs of all time

- while still arguing that no one would want matchmaking in the same breath, though, and using one person's bad experiences with LFG as an excuse for why it wouldn't work - ergo that specific reply.
Beyond that, bad experiences playing with random people will never be eradicated 100%. Anyone who played in the Crucible…

Sure, god roll matador or party crasher was a thing, but the counter was simple - go longer range and don't let them get close.

well i can only attest to what I saw with my own eyes in the Beta: Ballistic and energy were the first two slots, which were all hand cannons, auto rifles, pulse, etc. Third slot is power, and that's where shotguns, rockets, grenade launchers and snipers all were - even a fusion rifle I think.

There doesn't need to be that much hyperreal, IMO.

Uhh no one used their primary weapon?

If you've got a checkpoint matchmaking would try and put you with other people at that checkpoint, or give you an option to go from and earlier point/start again. If the quality of raiders in question ala poor Ack Ack, implement a rating system like you noted.
You really think any question you put forward couldn't be…

BOO PSN BOO

Because sniper rifles and shotguns shouldn't be in the same slot as rocket launchers of all things.

or for a better experience, voraciously dry hump a cheese grater

That, I agree with. If someone finds the violence uncomfortable or confronting, well, that's the idea. He often has an unflinching look at such horror. It's your prerogative to find that unsettling, for sure. But to then start making attacks against a creator because that unsettles you, well.

Innovate, no - but IMO there needs to be some sense of progression rather than more of the same, especially when the previous game felt a bit lacking in the first place. If all Destiny 2 is, is the best parts of Destiny 1, I just don't feel like that's enough for me. Because, been there.

Yeah I do want Raid matchmaking.

I clicked here for the butt

Counter-correction: Raids were and are quite good. Bungie fucked up royally though by having no form of matchmaking or system available for people who didn't have 4-5 immediate friends to Raid with.
When people have to create a 3rd party website just to facilitate these things, that's not a good thing. That's a glaring…

The problem I have about viewing Destiny 2 as "1.5" is that I feel we already got Destiny 1.5 - which was The Taken King. That was pretty much everything the base experience should have been. So for them to seemingly not have advanced much from there really smacks of coasting… but I know we haven't seen close to the…

I liked the original game enough in spite of itself and a lot of things Bungie did, but I also just haven't seen anything about the new game that makes it "must play". I'll be curious about the reviews also.

I think the thing which actually works against Bungo here is that people know now that you're not just committing to a base games - you're committing yourself to the next couple of years of DLC $$$, events, and a whole lot of uncertainty in between (how will the end game be like? Will there be enough to keep my…

Raids, yes, they were good, but I bristle at giving Strikes too much praise, seeing how many of them ended up unimaginatively remixed or run back to front. You know what the best Strike was for me in destiny 1 and all it's expansions as we're looking at it's last days? The very first.
