In any case, Forsaken is more than enough to sustain a daily Destiny 2 habit. Maybe we’ll know as soon as the next expansion hits. Six months should give us a much better idea where Destiny 2 is headed I think, with the tumultuous first year safely behind. IDG / Hayden Dingmanįorsaken seems, at least for now, like an inclination towards that latter road-but we’ll see. Or alternatively, it is an MMO and has to start updating like one. It either needs to accept it’s not an MMO, and thus also accept that most of the player-base will stop playing after a month. I think Destiny 2’s first year proved Bungie can’t maintain its middle-of-the-road stance though. A lot of work goes into those sorts of updates, and only a core group of fans will log in enough to even notice. It’s the type of MMO-centric feature Bungie seemed reticent to dabble in at release, and for good reason. That could be fascinating indeed, an entire region that shifts over the course of weeks or months, adds new areas to explore and riddles to solve. After the first team completed the raid September 14, Bungie updated this second patrol zone-mostly cosmetic changes, but there’s potential for more significant differences as time goes on. It comes through in the varied boss encounters, from The Rider’s vehicle-based segment to The Mindbender’s obsession with the Hive.Īnd I’m curious where Bungie goes with it, too. It comes through in their monologues, as in the case of The Fanatic. It comes through in their character designs, via the looming Hangman or the spindly Rifleman. Destiny 2’s problem, in its first year, has been conveying that information to your average player as they storm through the campaign.įorsaken’s revenge tale is simple, but the Barons are rich with personality. There’s mountains of lore for the dedicated few to piece together. Again, Bungie is great at world-building. Sure, Nokris had a rich backstory if you went looking. It’s hard to believe the Barons are part of the same game that gave us Nokris, Herald of Xol-an enemy who, despite his grandiose name, came and went without any acclaim at all. Villains have been a real problem for Destiny 2 to date, poorly motivated or poorly explained or just simply bland. There are even new titles that can only be purchased through this popular gaming chain since they themselves are the ones who published them! Here are 25 crazy video game products that only GameStop is offering along with their respective price tags that are at times ridiculously overpriced.And as I wrote earlier this month, the Barons themselves are the key. Some limited edition games, consoles and collectible merchandise can only be obtained through GameStop.

This meant that if players wanted that shiny new collector's edition game or a physical copy of a digital game, they would have to find their nearest GameStop branch. However, some games can only be found exclusively in gaming merchandise giant GameStop.

Most video games are regularly available in retail stores such as Target, Best Buy, or even at the nearest Five Below discount bin. Since that's the case, then what is keeping gamers from buying their favorite game titles? Here is where store-exclusive games come into the picture. Video games now exist in both physical and digital forms giving gamers more freedom in purchasing the games they love. Gone are the days of searching from store to store for an elusive copy of a highly-coveted new game title. As if that wasn't convenient enough, gamers can even purchase games online from the comfort of their homes making gaming more accessible than ever! There's never a shortage of games to play on every platform. Most games are now available in a variety of formats, from consoles and PCs to handheld gaming units and even mobile phones. Acquiring video games in today's modern age of gaming has never been so convenient.
