  • I stopped playing because the story’s over. The storytelling was the main thing that kept me playing for the last few expansions, and with The Final Shape being the finale to the main story, I just don’t have a reason to go back to it right now. The episodic content is way lower quality than anything Bungie’s put out before, and I kind of regret buying the deluxe edition of TFS because of that, as I have no intention of finishing the episodes.

    It is still sad to see, though. I made a lot of really good friends through Destiny 2 and have a lot of great memories of times spent playing. Even though I’m no longer playing, it still feels like a pretty big loss seeing the community begin to fade away.





  • Again, you’re the only person talking about minors in this thread, my guy. Nobody’s replying to your straw men because we all see them for what they are.

    You’re just upset that the game you know nothing about doesn’t line up with the talking points you had prepared, so you’re trying to force them into the conversation and twist it into something it isn’t. Nobody’s going to humor that obvious attempt at derailing the conversation, because you’re arguing against points that nobody is making in the first place.

    You already made it apparent that you don’t know what the game is about, let alone which game the article is even referring to since you clearly didn’t read it. Why are you even here? Just to say “Look at me, I care about children”? Congrats, you’re such an amazing person.










  • Depends on the context in which you’re sharing it.

    If you share it with a title like “We need more of this”, then yeah, because you’re encouraging further acts like it. If you share it with a title like “This is the manifesto written by the alleged CEO killer”, then that’s not inherently glorifying violence, you’re just sharing something you found and being informative. But if you share it in response to the question “Hey Reddit, what are some fun things I can do in NYC this weekend?”, then you’re back toward the “glorifying” side. Context makes all the difference.

    Whether or not anybody gives a shit about that distinction, though, is a different question.


  • Generally, I like cel shading. I think it’s maybe the issue I have is more related to artistic choices; a lot of the designs are very chunky and low-detail. It still looks very distinctly, unmistakably like Borderlands, but it doesn’t look like there’s been any significant improvement since BL1. If you told me this was a DLC pack for the original 2009 game, I’d probably believe it.

    The newer visuals in the cinematic had me thinking that maybe Gearbox is trying to do a soft reboot after how poorly the movie was received.
