Was pretty funny watching the gameplay reveal, then watching this. Can I play this game instead?

What in Post-Apocalyptic early 90s French avant garde fuck was that? It's like Aeon Flux by Luc Besson, starring Jean Reno and Milla Jovovich. I mean, they had two World Wars, millions of deaths in the trenches and being occupied by the actual Nazis to come up that level of existential anomie. It just speaks to our spiritual/cultural exhaustion among the Californianated Elite.


Hekotat Hekotat , /Fry wasn't so much at you but at the aesthetic. It's ok in small doses but it literally gives me the creeps, having lived through that time once before.

How are they misjudging the market so badly? I have loved Bungie since Myth: TFL and before but this seems like the end.

Why can’t veteran devs make good games anymore? Trying real hard to think of an established studio that keeps on making good games. Owlcat and Larian not withstanding and owlcat makes good games 4 years after it releases.

Too many studios lay off their good talent after a game comes out instead of hording them like they should.

Man, how disappointing. That first trailer was one of the coolest game trailers I've ever seen. The gameplay.... was not. What's with the shitty textures, 8 bit everything, etc? Someone else said it but this could have been pretty hype if it was a Division clone - extraction shooter with shitty graphics? Why would you not just buy COD and play DMZ all day? How is that a full game?

lol holy facepalm. No wonder why.



Also a premium purchase price to buy for three maps, multiplayer no campaign and a battle pass that isn’t included. lol fuck these people. I wonder how much money Sony wasted on this piece of shit.

I just don't get the premise at all - is there a big clamoring of gamers wanting a team based extraction shooter in 2025? When most people load into these games solo? I hope it fails, not because of the idealogues behind it (though that too), but because the studio heads went all in on something I don't think a lot of people are asking for. I will be shocked if this is not a massive swing and a miss. Concord part deux.

People been clamoring for Destiny 3 for years. We as destiny players thought there was always one in the works. Surely there has to be another Destiny sequel in the works, right? Then its revealed that in fact, no, there is no Destiny 3, just this garbage that no one wanted. They took their prime Destiny franchise that made them hundreds of millions of dollars per year and ran it to the ground, then built themselves a new lavish office they can have their little communist work utopia in (when most people post covid work remote at least part of the week).

They sell themselves to Sony for like 3-4 billion dollars, not even being worth 1/2 that because they squandered all the D2 money. In fact, few years before, it was all about being FREE from the big studios. Bungie hailed as being finally FREE when they bought themselves out of Activision. It was supposed to be a new dawn for Bungie, freedom to do anything they want. And all we got is shit until they squandered that away. Years of half baked expansions and boring seasons ever dwindling D2 population. Best Destiny 2 years were under Activision. Where we got huge expansions and 2 more side studios making content for destiny 2. (Which all of that content was taken out of the game, looool)

So this is what we get instead of Destiny 3. Another dying AAA studio.

The game will be a smash hit for a month, maybe two. Don't underestimate the amount of shit Destiny players accept. After that though, it will probably fade.

I think a good tarkov competitor would do well, just no ones done a very good one yet. I think it's harder in any setting but modern day so the gun tism can enter into the equation than having various sci fi guns that dont feel like they are "real" and substantive. Ditto with the medieval attempts.

The two biggest things are a bigger secure container(your prison wallet, shit in there doesn't get took when you die) and a bigger stash. Both of these issues are addressable by actually playing the game however

They could go the Black Desert Online route and sell a ghillie suit that hides your nametag and makes you untargettable.

/Yes yes I'm aware the BDO suit did only one of those things

It is gonna be DoA. If Bungie can make the beat feeling shooter on the market and still fuck it up year after year I have no hope for this. Gonna be like the latest Halo game, decent bones but a fuck ton of options that make zero sense.

If my YouTube suggestions are any measure, this will be Bungies "return to form!!" moment.

"Return to form" as a tiny company that only made art games for a niche platform? Magic 8-ball says "Probably!"
