The difference is atleast with the lfg you get a level of control over your Fireteam. When I did my first blind run of the new dungeon I wanted ONLY people blind to the dungeon as well and mics on. With built in matchmaking you don't get that, and I know you could argue that you could still use lfg if matchmaking was in the game, but matchmaking would kill off the lfg way to much.
I'm glad we met up.
Frraksurred : Random came in and helped leezard (BadGrandpa in the game)and me out. I can't imagine doing that dungeon solo. Once again he saves the day.
Ha, that's funny I just re-installed Outriders again last night. Also on a very.. very long Destiny break.
love the game but for the life of me i cant figure out its frame rate dips and enemy gun shot sounds muting.
I don't even need to read that article to tell you that they aren't. The Traveler terraformed them, but the fact is that most of the locations, even if terraformed would degrade into their uninhabitable present day conditions before too long. Many of the locations are well outside the habitable zone in relationship to the sun and most aren't large enough to sustain a magnetic field or have enough gravity to hold onto their atmosphere. Of course, every planet in Destiny has Earth-like gravity. Although, some places like the Moon do still lack an atmosphere. Mars seems breathable, but is still largely hostile. Venus is the most Earth-like in the game and given the right kind of changes from the Traveler, this would make sense. However, it's still too close to the sun, so unless something was different about it that would allow it to resist the solar wind and increased heat from being that close, it would gradually return to the hellscape that it currently is in real life.
Destiny, is well............Destiny. It's really its own thing. It feature PvE/Co-Op and PvP. It has some imitators to some degree, but none have been as successful. It's a looter shooter basically. It does have a story, but it's story isn't always the best presented. Especially in the game's current form where the original base game campaign was removed.
Yea, I've read they removed a lot and people are pissed about it.
They did, but according to Bungie, only around 3% of the player base ever touched it after so many expansions. Plus, the Red War content (the base Destiny 2 game) took up 60% of the install. Bungie was right in that you can't just keep making a game bigger forever. At some point, you either need to quit and make a new game (which creates its own issues) or downsize the current one and expand it. So now, Bungie rotates legacy content in and out of the vault. And, to sweeten the deal, this now includes Destiny 1 content. We now have the Vault of Glass raid and some Destiny 1 strikes. Albeit, slightly modified.
My biggest complaint was the fact they removed 11 (I think) PvP maps from the game and have not really done much to replace them in 2 years.
I feel that the looter part is generous, it's more of an RPG shooter where you find occasionaly find better gear to your current one but most if not all of the good stuff is buried behind seemingly endless quests that almost all of the time require silly amounts of PVP even if the first 10 steps were PVE.
It really depends on what you want to get out of the game. If you just want a fun time sink there is plenty to keep you busy outside of paid content.
So while I have you on the phone, would the base game be ok to start off with? I haven't looked up a single thing about the game. I just downloaded/installed it last night after I went to bed. Was going to try it out tonight. I mean, I think I'm reading this right?; $80 for the whole deal? Don't want to drop that much into a game that I'm not sure I'm going to stick with.
I would just start with the free to play content without buying anything if you are unsure. You shouldn't have any problem getting a feel for the game and deciding if it's worth spending money on from there.
.I haven't played the free game in years. But the vast majority of it was the Red War content, plus strikes, and things like that. The Red War content is all gone now. It's not playable for anyone right now. But all the Strikes, Crucible, and group activities are in the free game. You don't get the dungeons or raids though.I would just start with the free to play content without buying anything if you are unsure.

Edit: I'm not sure how much of the free base content, if any ended up in the "Vault". I'm assuming there is still plenty to do but could be wrong. One of the current players will probably correct me if I'm wrong
I believe that would do it minus the 30th anniversary which I think just includes a dungeon and cosmetics?
Ya, for the most part they are just for XP. Typically you want to grab them for whatever planet or activity your on. Once you get to the tower there are vendors that offer bounties for just PvP or strikes, as well as more generalized ones like get x amount of kills with shotguns. Pairing those up with activities like strikes, crucible and lost sectors are the best way to level up your season pass and vendor rank for rewards.
Yeah one of my main issues with the game is the unintuitive UI. It's like the developpers of this game never played another game in their life.
