Quintus 5,399 Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 No. Destiny fully caters to both audiences. It is Borderlands, but with richer gameplay and loot. Destiny is also designed around hooking the player into becoming obsessed with its core FREE [ultra refined] gameplay loop, in the hope that players will be enticed into spending money on it - like GACHA. I reckon I must have put 1.5K hours into Destiny, entirely solo. Although I no longer play it anymore (burnt out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Destiny is a solid game, but I only enjoy it with friends. Solo, the grind gets repetitive and boring. At least for me. I’d much rather waste away the hours in COD or a Bethesda RPG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Well the thing is I prefer RPG's of the Genshin Impact type and it pretty much distills all the good JRPG elements into one. The bar is pretty high for the next Tales game now For shooters it's more occasional and I got my latest fix from Borderlands 3 and Outer Worlds The shooters I play is mainly Fallout , Far Cry and Borderlands series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo, the grind gets repetitive and boring. At least for me. I’d much rather waste away the hours in COD or a Bethesda RPG. When you get a tight fireteam together and take on one of the raids, Destiny is a gaming experience like no other. But the vast, VAST majority of my time on the game/s is spent entirely solo. That's where I build my character and gain an intimate knowledge of the systems, activities and worlds. But I've played it too much (effectively the entire life cycle of the PS4) and I can't get into it any more. The big new expansion is out next week, but I can't muster the interest enough to buy it. I reckon I've spent maybe £120 on the Destiny franchise, and had around 6-7 years of gameplay out of it. Not a bad yield. Regardless of my becoming tired of the franchise, I'll always consider Destiny one of the greatest, most impactful gaming experiences I've ever had. It has become an enormously influential part of gaming culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 It’s definitely one of my favorite shooters, but like Battlefield, it doesn’t have the lasting hook that COD has for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to play Battlefield 1943 on the 360 and PS3. As someone that played 1942 at LAN cafes, 1943 was a faithful recreation. Wish they had added the European theater though. I miss simple multiplayers like that. I haven't played a Battlefield game since Bad Company 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 I don't play the Battlefield BR (Firestorm) at all. From what I heard (and I did play a tiny amount of upon release), the mode itself is really quite good, but completely bereft of support. Once they realised they'd fucked up by not making it F2P, DICE completely abandoned it. But bar a couple of easily fixable issues, it was perfectly enjoyable for a release version. I mainly play Domination, TDM and Breakthrough. 11 hours ago, Bellosh said: I miss simple multiplayers like that. I haven't played a Battlefield game since Bad Company 2. That one is held up as being some sort of deified instalment, and it was great at the time, but I've much more enjoyed all of the later ones, from the fabulous BF3 all the way up to [embattled but eventually superb] BFV, which I still play. It's utterly spectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oomoog the Ecstatic 314 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Dark Pictures Anthology's next installment!! Finally something again I know will be good. Although real adventure gaming is dead these days, the golden eggs of the decade were Contradiction: Spot the Liar and Until Dawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Little Hope was even worse than Man Of Medan plot wise. The first game at least had the B movie factor going for it and was genuinely hilarious to play. This one is just a dud with a lame twist. The teaser for the next game genuinely looks fun though.

Oomoog the Ecstatic 314 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Compared to their Until Dawn, I think Dark Pictures has been more disappointing. But I still feel great fun exploring and investigating all these different scenarios and crazy plots without the limitations of combat. Combat games just feel like a waste of time most of the time, doing the same thing over and over, filler with no thought put into it. I can get into games like Overwatch because they're a lot more strategic and competitive. An adventure game I really liked actually was The Council (2018). Because it was an RPG but without any fighting aspect to it, imagine that. All your class customization was simply for advancing the story the way you want your character to. And then there was Pathologic 2. This video changed my life and I haven't even played the game yet. Ideally they'll make more of these games for platforms like Occ Quest 2. VR without the heavy hassle. The games make me feel like I was reborn in another universe in a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maglorfin 196 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Rediscovering the good old Ropeway Simulator 2014 these days, having finally bought a new gaming PC after almost 9 years. Great fun to play and being a huge fan of ropeways, I LOVE that game! With all graphic settings maxed out, I think it actually doesn't look all that bad even in 2020. Also, playing through the CoD: Ghosts campaign for the first time and installing Battlefield 4 after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,436 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 The new Spidey game, starring Miles Morales, is tons of fun! If you liked the previous 2018 Spider-Man game, you'll like MM. Some small touches were improved upon the last game, like swinging around the city with webs doing acrobatics and fighting the minions. The story is okay, I guess, but the gameplay is what makes the game great. It is set in December in New York, which reminded me of Home Alone 2! The score is pretty good. It's a mix of traditional orchestral heroics with hip hop beats. Works extremely well in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
