Prison of Elders is actually really challenging at the correct level. Got good drops from it too.

You mean it's "challenging" because enemies absorb bullets and you get bum rushed?
lol
Destiny's design is awful. The more money you mongs pump into it the less reason they have too make the game good.

No, because there are different objectives you have to complete (disarm bombs, eliminate a certain target) in a certain amount of time or you'll die, modifiers (enemies deal more melee damage, you take more damage while airborne, and etc.) that cause you to adopt a different playstyle, and traps scatterred around the map.

I watched a friend do Crota's End.

it looked crap.

I had fun with the destiny beta. I'll get the game when its like £10 maybe

big dog · May 20, 2015, 09:32:35 AM

It is definitely a step up from the base game and The Dark Below. The story missions are enjoyable (particularly the Vault of Glass revisit) and Prison of Elders is a lot of fun. Shame about the lack of a raid, but I still have yet to actually complete the first two.

If they do a game of the year edition on PS4 then get that... When it's half price.... or lower....

Yeah, I got to the boss fight of each but never completed them. Vault of Glass was so much better.

Statefarm · May 20, 2015, 10:08:49 AM

No raid is gonna kill it though. Prison isn't that much fun. It's good but it doesn't have enough replay ability to justify removing the raid...

modifiers (enemies deal more melee damage, you take more damage while airborne, and etc.)

Is it like CE where the enemies are smarter and there's more of them to a group or is it like what they did after CE with Legendary which is what you said? The enemies are just sponges meanwhile you're weaker and you do shit for damage which is just a lazy attempt at a difficulty.

the second thing. the AI doesnt get smarter, it just makes you pump more bullets into them for a longer time. the only remotely challenging things in Destiny are the raids

Deesbee · May 20, 2015, 02:03:53 PM

It's ok. It was cool to go through the story the first time through but nothing really epic. Prison of Elders is ok but eh.

Naru · May 20, 2015, 02:58:41 PM

So what was the story like?

"Go Guardian, kill the traitors in these places because so and so happened a millennia ago"

Bad guy escapes from prison and wants to build an army so you kill him.

Comet · May 20, 2015, 08:12:21 PM

the Prison isnt* all that fun imo, they're just firefights in small maps.

The Lord Ruler · May 20, 2015, 08:23:26 PM

So instead of it being turboshit it's just shit now?

BrenMan 94 · May 20, 2015, 09:04:34 PM

lolDestiny

Only reason it's sold well is because Bungie™ and because consoles have jack shit for MMO-lite games. Sales would've been dismal on PC.

DukeOfLove · May 20, 2015, 10:17:36 PM

Yeah, I really enjoy all the new maps and thoughtful cinematic content.

It amazes me how good of a job Bungie did on Legendary for CE and after that it became shit. Besides the enemies being smarter and having larger groups of them the levels were slightly different as well. You encountered grenades the moment you get the AR and the shotgun on 343 is picked up latter on in the level. Then after that game they just stopped trying on depth and they just got more and more lazy.

Coconut Marty · May 23, 2015, 02:47:25 AM

Meh. I took a break from Destiny from around December until just a couple weeks ago. I figured it would be alright to just play it a little every now and then. Honestly, I enjoy it a lot more these days, now that Bungie has made it a lot less frustrating.

That being said, Destiny is still a shit game.

It's sad when a small team of people ended up making a better game than what the full team did. Maybe Destiny should have been made by a small team as well.

Yeep, it was only a matter of time. Recently got a Surface Pro 3 for graduation, so now it's 1,000x easier for me to post comments on forums and whatnot. So here I am.
