I’m kind of excited for you guys who jam on PC. You’re not just getting Destiny this month: You’re getting your first proper taste of it outside of a beta format. People to meet! Places to go! Cabal to shoot in their ugly fat faces! More than that, I have a feeling that Destiny 2’s Crucible will strive on PC. It’s tight, the four on four format keeps the action manageable and it has a focus on team-based action now, a far cry from its single-player that gives a solo player multiple moments of glory.
October 24 ain’t so far away. But is your PC ready to handle Destiny 2 at its best? As a reminder, here’s what the game looks like with every setting cranked to the max:
And again, with every setting down like a clown with the downs:
If you want to hit that 4K sweet spot, you’re going to need some hefty hardware. Also around 68 gigglebytes of hard drive space to store everything on. Here’s the list of final PC settings, via Bungie:

So when do the servers go live? Locally, you can expect to log in at 19:00PM, watch the servers crash, swear at your monitor, reset and log back in properly again about five to ten minutes later. Here’s a handy dandy map for you to set your watches to. Click to embiggen:

Random question. Do you know of any South African groups for this game? A good friend of mine started playing the game again, but is frustrated because all the groups (or whatever you call it) he joins are either French or some other European language, incapable of talking English.

As Otto mentioned, clans are your best bet

If it’s clans then there is probably a local clan out there somewhere. But for 99% of the game I just use my clan as a way to access a dojo. Since there is so many locals and peeps right here who play I always have someone online to group up with.

Is destiny 2 a subscription based game ? or only a once off buy ?
Ottokie
October 13, 2017 at 08:07
Once off with many many expansions to come and lootboxes.
Frik van der Hewerskink
October 13, 2017 at 08:41
paid expansions ?
Ottokie
October 13, 2017 at 08:42
If it’s anything like Destiny 1 , It’s gonna have lots of expansions at the same price of the base game.

Don’t know if I want this game anymore now …
The price just seems to be out weighing what you actually get.
