    Is anyone excited about this game? Feels like the only thing going for it is the Bungie name recognition, but it seems like not even that is enough.

    At this pace Sony will have one Concord situation per year.

      I would have been if Bungie hadn’t completely fucked up Destiny 2, as it stands they’ll never get another dime from me.

      I loved the animated shorts, but that’s about it. The game needs a serious overhaul so it doesn’t look like a very generic shooter.

      I have a sneaking suspicion that a lot of people will dismiss it simply because it looks cheap. It’s like a a tech demo without textures. Although based on their multiple instances of stolen art, calling it an asset-flip is probably more accurate.

        Personally I think the visual style looks messy. It’s an incoherent vomit of colors to my eyes. Almost like they made all assets in isolation and pray it will work out somehow. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s how they did.

    As someone who spent several years and hundreds of dollars on Destiny 2, I sure am glad to see that this is why we couldn’t get a new Crucible map for like five years.
