I prefer Destiny 1 at least it is a full game with all the story intact.

Deleting all the main story and half the DLC people paid for is not how you run a game.

In my case I cannot access anything that I paid for. Bungie can get fucked with a thorny cactus covered in lemon juice.

What a fall from grace from the Halo days... Really shows that they were looking for more money, not for creative freedom as they framed it when they got bought by Activision.

[–] vivadanang@lemm.ee 15 points 11 months ago

the part that really makes me heave is that Sony gave them $1.2 billion earmarked for retention, and they gutted multiple longtime departments including people from the Halo days.

Whoever's making the decisions at the top have gotten real cynical.

I kind of assumed it wasn't still playable. Going back to that to scratch the gunplay itch is tempting.

Oooh, didn't know that. So, if I get the Destiny 1 now, I can play from start, and then all the expansions in a sequence, like a normal game?

[–] Gamers_Mate@kbin.social 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

yes but It is not cross platform.
Maybe we should start a fediverse Clan for destiny 1.

If you want to buy the DLC the order is as follows.
1: The dark below
2: House of Wolves
3: The Taken King
4: Rise of Iron.
Though for Rise of Iron you need a ps4/xbox one or newer to play as xbox 360 and ps3 does not have that content.

I'll probably get it on PS5, don't have a gaming PC, or any PC that can run anything released after Age of Empires 2 (the original one) 😀 .

Just looked it up, PS have a complete pack with all the DLC/Expansions, but it's full price (59.99) and apparently doesn't go on sale...

How's the game when playing Solo?

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I went through it all solo about 5 years ago, and it was great. It can be difficult because of the lack of other players, but I was able to do it, and I suck at console FPS controls.

Thanks for the feedback!
