My buddy and I have just gotten into Destiny 2 thanks to some free stuff I’ve gotten from PS+ over the years. Honestly, if you weren’t there from day 1, the learning curve is really prohibitive. Menus all over the place, NPCs everywhere that pretend like you know them, raids that require actual organization with people who don’t actually want to talk to you, no incentive to actually track the story, random stuff that ends up in your inventory that don’t seem to serve any purpose, a really weird leveling system, and of course a lot of proprietary vocabulary that just makes it all more confusing.

It’s a cool game, but after a month I still just have one friend and neither of us know wtf we’re doing. Had I any less patience, I would have deleted the game by now.

I really enjoy XII a lot. I wish we could see more done like that, even if it’s a spinoff.

I actually used all of those extensively, and never got good enough to completely ditch them. Unfortunately there are unlockables that I have no hope of accessing because the handicap accessories themselves are simply not good enough to complete those challenges. I really missed turn-based/hybrid style combat while playing XVI.

On an iPhone 12 Mini, I wasn’t able to see the options for the “how would you rate” questions until I held my phone horizontally. Just sharing that now in case it affects anyone else.

I really want to know what he and his guests would have had to say.

Yeah, I love the theme, characters, and story, but it’s hard to appreciate whatever strategy exists in the battle system if you don’t have ninja-like focus and reflexes first. I really wanted to go for a platinum on this game, but decided it’s just not worth the anxiety and stress I’d have to put myself through.

Actually, the reinstall fixed it! I went into the settings and found an option that allowed me to export my custom emulation/controller profiles and game data, so I was also able to keep all of that intact. Thank you.

Thanks for the reply. I’ll try uninstalling and reinstalling the app later. I was reluctant to try because I’m worried what might happen to my custom game settings.

I really got into the foundation series by Isaac Asimov.

I think the best way to fight fake news is to ensure people know how to recognize, verify, and respond to it. That’s already more work than most people are willing to put into it, but I don’t think it would hurt if someone with the know-how put together a simple tutorial thread and got it stickied to the whole instance somehow.

I wonder if PS5 cloud streaming will eventually be enabled for their portal device to sweeten that deal a little more.

Unless of course he doesn’t want people without credit cards on the platform anymore. I doubt they matter much to him, and perhaps he wants X to exist for the privileged only.
