6v6 Iron Banner is actually pretty fun. Been playing a shite ton to get the ornaments.


I grinded real hard this weekend to get the chest ornament for IB. 200 melee/grenade kills were annoying as hell, but it looks awesome. I’m excited for the DLC and some of the changes.

I've been pretty hard on this game but I hope they can get it back to D1 levels of fun.

I beat the raid for the first time this past weekend. It was fun to actually do a team activity.

That grind was a pain. Swapped to Synthocepts on my Titan to finish off the last 100+ kills and ran double grenades. Having the full ornament set does look nice, so it was worth it.

so it's reasonable to try to get the most out of that experience


It is a bit extreme, I know. The problem is they sell an incomplete game many times.

We are in the golden age of
1. $DLC
2. Micro-transactions
3. Day 1 patches

It was not always this way

Yeah I only main Warlock, so I just stacked my melee recharge and ran SMG. Pretty much forgot about the objective, and just ran up on people trying to melee the frick out of them. The most annoying part was that only charged melees counted. The full set does look clean as hell though.

We’re in a new age of video gaming. Most full price games, that are single player at least, come with 30-40 hours of content. Developers know the only way to extend the life of these games is to offer DLCs or Loot Boxes to keep the player invested in it.

Look at games like God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, or The Last of Us. These games lose their replay ability once they are beaten. Maybe some people go back and beat them again, but the casual gamer will beat it and move on.

DLCs offer the ability to extend the life of a game while it’s successor is still in development.

The biggest mistake bungie made was listening to the community's bitching about the crucible in D1

Because it's retarded. The cost benefit just isn't there. I'm not saying he shouldn't be able to do it and I don't think he's responsible for every problem in the gaming industry today. I just think it's dumb.

When all your friends buy the game beforehand you are going to buy it to play with them.

Fair enough. I know most people weren't banking on this thing tanking either.

Y’all sound like the same people that gave up destiny 1 after year 1 and didn’t pick it back up till year 3.
