Sunshot

Occasionally on the Daily SPUF, we talk about video game weapons. Most of the time, there are multiple weapons featured in our articles. But sometimes, a weapon can get an article all of its own. Because I either like it that much, or I genuinely hated. Mostly the former. Today, we’ll be looking at the Sunshot, one of the first Exotic Weapons I found in Destiny 2. Boom Now, normally, I’m not a fan of hand cannons and sidearms. Both have always felt somewhat weak to me, especially sidearms. They just don’t feel as hefty as a larger weapon. However,… [Continue Reading]

The One Time I Willingly Played Crucible in Destiny 2

I normally hate PvP stuff in Destiny 2. I’ve mostly only ever played it when forced to. To get the Rat King exotic sidearm, I had to play Crucible for a bit and I absolutely hated it. Just like Conclave in Warframe, I avoid Crucible like a plague. And while Gambit is technically PvPvE, the PvE side of things is miserable and the PvP makes it worse. However, as part of the Festival of the Lost event, a yearly Halloween thing, I kinda needed to play some PvP. Because, briefly, it was one of the best ways to get spectral… [Continue Reading]

Mindlessly Murdering Things

You ever get one of those days where you just want to turn your brain off? Something seems a little skewed and you don’t know why? A good mood or bad mood can come along at any moment, and sometimes you just don’t want to think about anything. Other times though, you just want to do something simple and easy, like play a video game. For me, my favourite thing to do is mindlessly murder things. Just grab a big gun and mow down some generic bad guys. While there are a lot of games where you can do this,… [Continue Reading]

Destiny 2’s Halloween Event Kinda Sucked Too

The other day, I rambled on about how Warframe’s Halloween event sucked. Unfortunately, it seems like a lot of games are having a slow Halloween this year. Destiny 2 at least had a few new things, including some cool Halloween costumes. But, like a lot of other games, Destiny 2’s event was tedious and not even that spooky. Bye Bye Infinite Forest, Hello Haunted Lost Sectors For previous years, Destiny 2 had the Infinite Forest. The Halloween event was pretty damn simple: rush through a Vex simulation killing as many enemies as possible, with random areas every time. A massive… [Continue Reading]

Infinite Primary Ammo Is A Blessing

Long time readers of the Daily SPUF may notice one thing about me. And that one thing is that I have fucking awful aim. Awful reaction times, awful awareness and an amazingly bad shot. I dare not go to an actual firing range, for fear that my complete lack of skill in video games somehow transfers to real life as well. Better safe than sorry, especially around firearms. But still, I try to improve my aim. It’s been a tireless battle for years. In fact, my aim is probably stunted by the fact that I always played Medic in Team… [Continue Reading]

Rest in Peace, Gnawing Hunger

The other day, I did something weird. I’d leaped into Destiny 2 to take part in a cheesy raid, and gone to my vault to get some new weapons. The Lorenz Driver I had needed upgrading, so I grabbed my last upgrade module and selected a weapon to infuse into it. This is a perfectly normal thing to do, after all, I have a lot of weapons. But I needed a higher level weapon to infuse into my Lorenz Driver before we could do this raid. Somehow, in my confusion and exhaustion, I accidentally sacrificed the wrong weapon. I really,… [Continue Reading]

What the Hell is Going On With Forsaken?

Destiny 2 has a very weird DLC system. After X amount of time, a DLC will be ‘vaulted’ and removed from the game. It’s honestly a really shitty system, since DLCs are something we pay for. Normally, the stuff being taken away is “content no one likes and is no longer relevant”. But for the upcoming Witch Queen DLC? Well… It’s pretty fucking stupid. The Forsaken DLC is being vaulted. Admittedly, the Forsaken DLC is pretty damn old. Like, three years old. But the majority of Forsaken is still in a lot of use. While no one likes the Fanatic… [Continue Reading]

Sparrows Make Me Both Sad and Happy

I like sparrows. In fact, I quite like birds in general. It boggles the mind that something like a sparrow is somehow related to dinosaurs. Well, not all of them, of course. What is also cool is going pretty fast. Which the little things do. Either way, sparrows are cool. Not actual Sparrows When it comes to Destiny 2, the names of items and gear are kinda… oddly human. And very much in English (by default) alongside the occasional Latin or Greek gibberish. Doesn’t normally bother me. But there’s one thing that really confuses me. Why are our little speedster… [Continue Reading]

A Tenno’s Thoughts on Destiny 2

Going from new light to trials of osiris, this has been my experience with the game. The Good Solid gunplay, interesting enemies, excellent teamplay. This game understandably feels like halo, and that’s a great thing. Good team interactions, cooperation, great boss fights and core gameplay loop of shoot-to-loot. Armor and customization is through the roof, and you really can play how you want. Great art, music, landscapes, the game is beautiful and runs well. It rewards consistent fighting and it makes you really feel like you’re part of a war effort, and there’s always something to do. The voice acting,… [Continue Reading]

Beyond Light – Wondering Why I Bothered with a “Part 1”

The other day, I wrote about the main campaign in Destiny 2. Beyond Light, as the name suggests, involves our player character discovering a new way to manipulate the world around us instead of using, well, Light. In that previous article, I named it “part 1” because I thought it’d be really long. Turns out, nothing is long when I have my happy ice sled Sparrow. So, uh, let’s just get back to where we were, having just beaten one of the big boss’s henchmen. Just a heads up, I will be kinda spoiling things in this article. But Beyond… [Continue Reading]
