The Weird Dead State that is Destiny 2’s In-game Communication

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

Like all modern games, Destiny 2 has an in-game chat function and in-game voice chat. The default settings are push-to-talk, but voice is enabled from the start, as is the chat feature. It’s just a feature that’s always there. After all, parts of Destiny 2 require communication and timing to complete. It’s not just mindless shooting. You need a chat feature, right? In a normal game, of course! In most games, even if you can’t use voice chat, some people will use text chat. If you have a hub area, some people may chat in it. To be fair, most… [Continue Reading]

Literally Three Hours Doing A Raid

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

For the first time in ages, I had enough people around to have a party of six, including Spectre, our resident person who really really knows his Destiny 2 stuff. Spectre is the sort of person who will cheese a strike and nuke the boss with ease, leaving everyone else in the dust. And that poor bugger willingly decided to lead all five newbies through not one but two raids. I think we all underestimated how long that would take. Basically, it was hell. Okay, the first raid wasn’t so bad. Leviathan, Eater of Worlds isn’t that complicated. It just… [Continue Reading]

A Glance At Destiny 2 From A Newish Player Who Hasn’t Played Recently and Is Completely Lost

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

I played Destiny 2 a while back. In fact, it was nearly a year ago! I played during the 2019 Halloween event and picked up some cosmetics, including a cool mask, which was equal to my power level back then. Afterwards though, I found Destiny 2 wasn’t really keeping me interested, so I moved on. However, I ended up getting dragged back this year, after the siblings started playing it. Honestly though, I don’t know why, but it all feels like a mess. Punched in the face with announcements. So, as soon as I log in, I’m treated to a… [Continue Reading]

Why Do I Not Enjoy Destiny 2?

Medic 0 Comments ,

I don’t understand this. Destiny 2 isn’t a bad game. At least, it’s not the awful game it started out as. Destiny 2 had a very rocky start initially, however, it slowly managed to pull itself up. The game improved further when Bungie managed to get full control of the game. Right now though, Destiny 2 is in the middle of a massive story-based conflict. There’s massive evil dark pyramids that are threatening to destroy various places, and everyone’s preparing for war. Really, between the lore, the gun play, the setting and the fact it’s free to play (now at… [Continue Reading]

The current state of Destiny 2 – Content Removal Edition

Spectre 2 Comments , , , , ,

As you might have heard through multiple news sources, Destiny 2 is getting a massive rework on November. One concerning fact is that 4 locations are becoming inaccessible after Beyond Light. Before we get into why is this happening we got to take a look at the bigger picture regarding how many barriers are set up for new players and how much relevant content you can play currently. A quick recap on the story: To address the elephant in the room, those monolithic Pyramids were part of the main plot on the Shadowkeep expansion. One derelict was found buried under… [Continue Reading]

Destiny 2 and the Invisible Walls That Stop Me From Getting Into It

Medic 0 Comments

I really want to like Destiny 2. It’s got a very nice aesthetic and some really nice gun play. The characters look cool and the enemies look cool, even if they’re a bit boring. Really, with how I like games like Borderlands, Team Fortress 2 and Warframe, Destiny 2 should be a game that I would leap into and absolutely enjoy. But there’s a lot of things that stop me from really getting into Destiny 2 and I don’t really know what they are. Well, I know what some of them are. One of the biggest issues for me is… [Continue Reading]

Still Trying To Play Destiny 2

Medic 0 Comments , ,

I feel like I should like Destiny 2. Like I should have jumped in on day one and absolutely had a blast and then wanted to play it the next day. But after a couple of sessions, I find myself frustrated and not really sure what to think. Just the other day, I played for three hours, closed Destiny 2 because it was 2:15am and still felt kinda… not satisfied. For reasons unknown, it is still a struggle for me to get into Destiny 2. I’m not really sure where to begin, aside from the fact that I don’t want… [Continue Reading]

Destiny 2 is Free Until November 18th, So I’m Free to Ramble About it

Medic 0 Comments , , , , ,

Right now, as I type, Destiny 2, the base game at least, is free via Battle.net, not long after being part of a Humble Bundle monthly deal for €12 and was free on Playstation Plus in September. You get it from Battle.net before November 18th, it’s yours forever. Which makes it the perfect distraction while people wait for any news on Borderlands 3. You notice I didn’t say Fortuna. Because I have to reiterate this: Destiny is nothing like Warframe, apart from the batshit crazy story and the space ships across the solar system. Nope, this is Borderlands except very… [Continue Reading]

On the new Destiny 2 expansion – There is actually stuff to do!

Spectre 0 Comments , , , , , ,

So it’s been a while since I talked about the Destiny franchise. Almost a half year ago I bashed the new installment pretty hard on the downsides that featured, because there were… many. Truth be told, ever since a shiny refurbished exotic weapon quest was re-introduced on Destiny 2 back in July, the gameplay aspects gradually got better by the time the Forsaken expansion dropped. For this article I’ll be little more biased towards the positive side. Even though the game still has flaws here and there, I’ll save my long angry rant on the topic of duplicate exotics giving… [Continue Reading]

Destiny 2 – The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Spectre 0 Comments , , , ,

Years after the TF2 blog stopped being constantly updated, I decided to personally consider “The Daily SPUF” as my new official TF2 blog. However, it wasn’t long until the lack of content in TF2 made The Daily SPUF writers to place other games in the spotlight. I personally wouldn’t have gotten myself addicted to Warframe otherwise. Almost half a year ago when I first started writing this article, I was extremely excited about Destiny 2 coming to PC, even though I didn’t have a clue on how exactly should I approach new players. My initial aim was to introduce and… [Continue Reading]
