Destiny 2 Features
I’m on record as thinking that Power is a blunt, outdated mechanic in Destiny 2. But for the time being, it appears it’s sticking around. That said, there are improvements that could be...
Kept you waiting, huh? Since the last one of these, we’ve seen the release of two major Destiny 2 expansions as well as the introduction of a number of new characters. So let’s just dive...
I’ll be the first to admit it: I love Destiny lore. From the series’s beginning, I’ve loved digging deep into the fictional sandbox that Bungie’s writers have built. It’s a world where immortal...
Ever just stop and look at all the tiny details in a game? Someone had to put them there. Sure they may have been painted with brushes. Some of it may even be procedurally generated! But there’s so mu...
This year I realized I basically only like two kinds of games: live service/arcade titles with no clear ending that let me chill out with my friends online, and tightly-paced experiences that take a f...
Much like playing Destiny 2, working in a coffee shop requires a commitment to efficiency. Attacking a string of drink tickets means buckling down and finding a rhythm; swinging portafilters,...
We’ve got about a month and a half left in Destiny 2‘s Season of the Dawn, and players are starting to look back at what we’ve gotten thus far and forward to what might come next. Person...
If you’re a millennial, it’s a known fact that you’ve personally killed at least three industries, businesses, or hobbies. It’s nothing to do with the housing market ladder getting pulled up in front...
For nearly two months now, I have worked alongside my fellow Guardians to procure special supplies for Ikora’s dangerous/brilliant Vex gate project at the Tower. We have dismantled tens (if not hundre...
I’m reading this book by Philip K. Dick right now called The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch. It’s set on a near-future Earth which has heated to the point that exposure to the sun is...
Well hey there, Guardian. Welcome to the Tower, the glorious last bastion of humanity of in the galaxy. That’s what the Vanguard would say, anyway. Guessing you got a lot of questions bouncing around...
With Season of the Undying, Bungie has dedicated a playlist in Destiny 2‘s PvP arena, the Crucible, to new and returning modes that buck the game’s established norms. The playlist’s featured...
The Destiny 2 Postmaster mainly catches items players miss during in-game activities. But in the Season of the Drifter, players have discovered their postage also carries some interestin...
Over the lifespan of the original Destiny, the armor designs kept getting more and more flashy. Each expansion paired its specific theme to its visuals, including the on-character gear design...
I love Destiny 2. I love the gunfeel, the smoothness of the co-op experience, its increasingly well-defined aesthetic, and the way it wrings satisfaction out of making numbers go up. But it’s...
Destiny 2 isn’t just a game at this point. Like many, many other activities we used to think of as games, it’s more like a hobby. A live service, a forever game: whatever you wa...
Destiny 2 has always had great lore. While the game’s main plot lines sometimes fall short, the stories and bits of worldbuilding we get from equipment are always fascinating. Tying this...
