I clarified my points and went into why I think that. It's just you seem to want to hand wave away any observations that aren't aligning with yours as complaining and not making sense when I think it makes perfect sense. I've already said when the game comes out and shows more stuff that'll be the last thing people worry about but for now the game looked like D1 DLC. That's not even that bad but for some reason you're taking this observation negatively when I never even said that's a bad thing.

I'll leave it at that since y'all taking this as if I'm some sort of BF or COD FPS fanboy shytting on Destiny preemptively or something when I'm looking forward to it.

naw, never said people had to agree with me...but it doesnt make sense to say it's a negative that a sequel looks like the game before it...it's a sequel....and naw, not taking it as anything but you stating your opinion and me stating mine....it's whatever though....similar looking or not, i got it pre-ordered, and will get it in beta and day 1....

but breh I never said it's a negative lol...

It's just something that came to mind while watching it. Trust me, Destiny 2 ain't the first game I did that with.

I feel like y'all not grasping the bigger point of folks who saying it looks the same:

The game looks very similar to D1 because it just does whether that's due to a bad reveal or w/e but that's just the matter of perception right now. It's not like the game is out and people are just willfully ignoring what's shown, what they showed look very much like additional content for D1. The whole time watching the reveal looked hardly different from Rise of Iron or TTK. It just doesn't look like something that's entirely free of last gen constraints and it still being 30fps only works against it in that regard. No new gameplay mechanics, animations, When I seen the reveal for say, GTA V it looked vastly better than GTA IV and that had a reused city. Halo 1 and 2 again another example where you saw big changes. Halo 3 and Reach you couldn't confuse the 2.

If you can honestly say Halo 1 and 2 looked the same then breh i'm sorry but you lying to yourself lol.


It's not a weird argument at all really.
Halo 1 and 2 had a dramatic change in art direction. 2 through Halo 4 (maybe even reach) remained remarkably consistent.

Its just not an extremely non-definitive qualifier to make about something. Did Fable 1 not look like Fable 2? Does Persona 3 not look like Persona 4 or 5 or even the fighting game because its not in the same exact setting? Are graphical improvements not taken into account so that we're not able to say that Red Alert 2 doesn't look like Red Alert 3?

You have to be able to admit how flimsy that all sounds.

Call a reveal a bit disappointing for a lot of reasons. But in those reasons, you also have to admit that the same major complaints about vanilla 1 destiny were IMMEDIATELY addressed and repeatedly during the same reveal.

I'm not one to say that people are meh just to be meh, but at the same time people need to be grown and say what it is exactly what they want and stop looking to the message board echochamber for a co-sign.

Breh.. I think y'all just not tryna see things from another angle.

Halo games all looked different and played different from one another. This isn't even up for discussion.
Persona 5 looks nothing like 3 and 4 considering it's the first HD gen Persona and has a completely new art style. Like.. what? 3 and 4 yeah they look similar but the setting is clearly different so one quick look would show one the differences.


You're talking as if the graphical improvements here are so huge. I watched the HQ video, downloaded from Gamersyde.com and it didn't look so different from D1. I even played Destiny after the reveal. The story mission looked the best, the other stuff they showed from PVP gameplay looked like D1 stuff. It's not like expectations were through the roof. I just merely expected to see 60fps PVP, a new class or two, completely new enemies etc but again I preface this with I don't know everything about the game yet.

and the changes to D2 looked like things that could've been done to D1. When their bullet points look like their expansion pack bullet points it's not hard to say it's pretty much akin to a DLC.
This isn't unique to Destiny, this has been said about other games too. nobody is picking on Destiny breh.

I knew the game would look similar graphically... Only thing that I really wanted was more fleshed out content than Vanilla Destiny, and 60fps.

The game is going to be a polished up Destiny 1 with more weapons and armor... Who didn't know this? I just wanted a true next-gen sequel, and 60fps is a part of that.

They going to make bank regardless, but I can't cosign them doing console gamers like this. What was the point of PS4 Pro and Scorpio again?

I agree in principle with @Fatboi1 regarding the aesthetics. More of an grand expansion from D1 than a new game. I'll still be there day 1.

I'm far from a graphics junkie but really feel the lack of 1080/60 was Bungie purposefully doing the least due to having an overzealous fan base (I'd include myself in that).

In 2 years time we could theoretically be talking about the Scorpio and PS5 doing 4K/60 as standard consequently making this game look dated fast...

I just hope the content is there ala TTK and not WoI. Also 6v6 game modes need to be back, I still don't understand their thinking there

DF(Digital Foundry) talked to a network specialist, who's also an ex developer from Respawn Entertainment and Sony, and he said Bungie could have offloaded some features of the games (physics, AI, etc...) to the cloud with dedicated servers and thus, Destiny 2 could have been 60fps (on PS4 Pro at least).

It's at around 5:50 in the video.
:ohhh:

I don't understand all the graphics whining when they're giving it to y'all on pc :dwillhuh:

If graphics is that big of deal to you then you should be on pc in the first place. We know what it for this shyt now

The 3 things they need to focus on is content first, laggy ass pvp connections after that then having their weapons and abilities are "balanced" out the gate so we don't have to deal with all of these wack ass adjustments and metas.

And hopefully from they have plan to keep all content and gear relevant even with expansions so we have a lot of options moving forward instead of what they did the first couple of years with leaving shyt behind too fast
