If I can cross-play my character on multiple platforms, I'm doubledipping the hell out of this thing
This thread reminds that I "have" to get Destiny 2 on three platforms instead of two with the first game. Woe is me!
Video game anxietyThe direct comparison is CoD, Battlefront, Battlefield, R6: Siege, and Overwatch, not random single-player oriented games.
The first 3 are dead or dying (BF series) on PC and all happen to lock content behind season pass/expansion models (in addition to being shit games in general but that's besides the point). This is the group Destiny 2 has more in common with (going by Destiny 1). The latter 2 have better update models more in-tune with how PC consumers play games.
Consider that on PC, R6 Siege has more than twice the players as freaking BF1 and the latter is bleeding players each day.
Additionally, Destiny 2 PC has a lot of other things going against it.
1) It's clearly going to be made with plans for Destiny 3 in mind. As in, it's not made to last. These kinds of games don't do well on PC.
2) PC players have already played hundreds of MMO's. The novelty of loot-grind based bullet sponge gameplay is going to be a lot less enticing. Destiny was basically a lot of console players' first MMO so it had that going for it but it's not going to be met with the same patience on PC.
3) PC players tend to not play FPS designed for consoles first in mind. Even if Destiny 2 radically changes up a lot in terms of doing stuff like removing aim-assist stats and making hip-fire more relevant the perception of the first game can still hurt it.
At best it'll sustain a niche of 10k concurrent players months out from release. That's my prediction.
While I'm expecting (hoping) 60fps, Im really curious if they'll touch FOV options. Bungie games traditionally have very low FOV, their PC ports included.

Thinking about it, this game is honestly a streamer's wet dream. You've got the PvP side of the game for competitiveness (scrims, potential eSports) that will gain you more exposure the better you are, and then you have the PvE side for interacting with your community (weekly raid nights, strike grinding etc.). Combine all of that with the game being an FPS and now launching on PC and I see it being a top game on Twitch for years to come. They really have a chance to knock it out of the park here... crossing my fingers the launch goes smoothly.
Here's my dilemma with this.
I want to get it on PC for the best looking experience
But I use my gaming pc on the couch, with a controller, and I dont want to be royally assfucked by mouse and keyboard players or generally at a disadvantage.
Is there any chance they will find a solution for this I wonder
If a wireless mouse and keyboard setup is out of the question for PVP there's not much you can do about that.Here's my dilemma with this.

Ludicrous!Maybe the PC version will have text chat.
Not out of the question, but not my preferred or what i would do.
Is it not at least possible to partition mouse and keyboard players and controller players? And ideally, give us cross platform play with at least the Scorpio console players?
I agree they almost certainly wouldn't do that. But im just thinking that what MS are doing with scorpio and 'play anywhere' should take this into account.
I'm still not convinced pc will be anything but a ghost town a few months in
I wonder how many from the OT is picking the PC version up.Interesting. I see it as text chat, ultra wide support, FOV and others surely. If not for the GAF ps4 community I would go for pc.
If it's good, it'll stay populated.I'm still not convinced pc will be anything but a ghost town a few months in
It's to be expected.Man the concern trolling about the Destiny 2 PC community is hilarious.

I know a few I played with on PS4 from GAF picking it up.
If it's good, it'll stay populated.

It's possible and could be cool, but as you said yourself, just very unlikely. It'd need to lock other peripherals if they were hard-partitioning players. And if it isn't cross-platform (I'd be shocked if it is), the pool of PC players that use a controller would be insanely small. It would exist, it would just be very, very tiny.
I'm getting it on PC, along with all my friends of who were PS4 users.
I'll happily switch from PS4 to PC so long as the UI/UX is good. I know a lot of people prioritise FOV, but for me it's the UI that makes or break a PC game, and is the primary reason I don't get on very well with Bioware RPGs. Destiny has so much inventory management that I really need a good PC-designed UI.
The only reason I'm not going with PC is because of the exclusivity stuff. Sucks to say it works. But it really is a shitty move.

Games with shit models like this one won't live on PC.
If it's 30fps it better be higher FOV, 90-100 minimum, if it's lower than 90 FOV even at 30fps they can keep the game.While I'm expecting (hoping) 60fps, Im really curious if they'll touch FOV options. Bungie games traditionally have very low FOV, their PC ports included.
Yes, multiple season passes actually, but due to uPlay, it only shows as 2 million on Steam despite being quite a bit higher overall, and I wanted to stick to games with comically high ownership numbers.Additionally, doesn't R6: Siege have a season pass? I hear that has a grown community on PC regularly.
As much as I enjoyed playing with Destiny GAF on PS4 and as much as I hate timed exclusive content, I simply cannot ignore the pc version. Especially when you have to pay for PS+ in order to play.
Anyone know when we can preorder for pc that isn't the standard version?
