Destiny 2 is coming, and there’s not a damn thing you can do to stop me talking about it. Unless it involves exploiting my one weakness: Bullets and blunt force trauma to the head. Two! Two weaknesses! Bullets, blunt force trauma and asphyxiation. THREE DAMMIT! Anyway, between now and presumably September 2017, the interim of Destiny is a little bit unclear.
While the Sparrow Racing League is around the corner, the rest of 2017 is still a mystery. In a post Rise of Iron era, developer Bungie has promised more content being available and they might be teasing some of that stuff next month. Or even the sequel, because I’m clearly reading way too much into this. My tinfoil hattery comes from a line on the weekly Bungie update, as community manager Deej revealed that the team were readying themselves for the horrors of US airport security:
The week after, we’ll be packing our bags for Anaheim, CA. The particulars of our mission are still a mystery. We’ll cross that finish line soon.
That is of course a referral to the PlayStation Experience, which takes place in Anaheim from December 3 to 4. It’s also two days after the imaginatively titled Game Awards, a show which has become a mini-E3 as of late thanks to all the annual reveals shown at it. Could we be seeing our first glimpse at Destiny 2, which I’m totally hoping is going to be called Deuxstiny?
The answer as always, is a very definite maybe. My only concern at the moment, is reward. At the moment, I’m a bit hesitant to invest more time into Destiny and Rise of Iron, especially if the rumours about players restarting their adventure at square one turn out to be true. I’ve got a chronal and emotional investment in my primary Guardian, a Stormcaller Warlock who proudly wears Days of Iron armour and wields more Bad Juju than an EFF rally.
I don’t want to lose that guy, but I’m not feeling the need to play if I’m not building towards a new goal either. C’mon Bungie, wow me next month.

Probably with a crappy teaser trailer. Will need to know what the game will launch with beforehand if they want my money. I started my Hunter class after House of Wolves was released and even then it took me a week to get up to the max level. So I’m happy to wait

Yep. This is next year’s problem. Even then I already have For Honor and Ghost Recon: Wildlands lined up. Not too worried about a new Destiny.

I just want to do the final raid and the original can be put on ice, as for number 2 it better be something that has more for the single player.

I am happy with what I paid and what I got from all the Destiny 1 content. The game gave me over 650 hours of fun. And I am not even close to done with it. Got a bit burnt out there right after the Rise of Iron launch, but will get to it again.
I will be a day one buyer of Destiny 2 without reading or knowing anything about it. The first game gave me enough faith in Bungie to throw my money at them!

I am close to 300 hours, so it was well worth it.
When it was released it filled a gap I needed, but I won’t throw money at 2 without seeing more about the game, but saying that they really need to mess it up for me not to get it.

Yeah dude 100%. I’m coming up on 500 hours and I’m still playing the game.
Will definitely be getting D2 on launch as well.

I will have to give it a good listen before I buy. I lost interest after the Black Album and after James Hetfield became a bunny. Death Magnetic sort of gave a twitch of the old days, but I wasn’t convinced. I enjoyed their show down here in Cape Town though. It was epic.

Has any Metallica fan ever wondered what they would have been if Dave Mustaine pulled his bunny together and didn’t get fired????? He is by far superior. Hammett is a bit of a retard.

I agree that he is a cool dude and all. Maybe retard was a bit strong. But have you ever seen Mustaine in action? Geez…..

Jason Newsted was the biggest cry baby they ever employed. He is a great bass player but “I don’t want to tour the world and make millions” doesn’t wash with me.

This is secondary to me. Last week’s In Flames release was the big one.
