I had Destiny 2 installed on my HDD. Loading times were atrocious. A SSD takes maybe a quarter of the time. SSD prices are quite low right now, so I have to agree with m4ini: Get yourselves a nice SSD guys, it's worth it
I hope they fix at least a few of the bugs till Saturday. If I don't enjoy my first few hours, chances are I'll never touch this game again.
I read they want to do some rebalancing of the javelins. What were your impressions there?
Weird, i had destiny 2 on a HDD and no problem watsoever. I guess it's because i am not used to 5 second loading times anyways, or the game didn't want you to be loading screen after screen
News article says ppl are "bug" using left and right to get endgamegear. Guess by the time I can play they'll fix this so the difference between the headstartes and the normals will be huuuuuugeeee

Imagine every time you want to unlock your phone it would take 5+ seconds... people would riot in the streets! I guarantee it :D

Please don't judge the game by the first 2-3 hours. It's almost all introduction and takes some time getting used to controls - especially when it comes to flying mechanics. And even more so if you are looking to play interceptor - which needs a lot more getting used to, and it feels like a lot more skill as well to play properly. but once you get the hang of it, interceptor is by far my favourite javelin.
It's insanely fun - and I don't get people bitching Sure there's quite a few tweaks needed and some balance issues are emerging. but I can guarantee that I'll get at the very least 200 hours of lots of fun out of this game, and that's if they don't change much at all. If they actually do it right - fix most of the problems and keep adding good content, I'm sure there could be years of great gameplay in this.
For now after around 40 hours of play (demo + game now) The game is still sooooo much fun, it's sick. I got so hooked - I played the demo on my PS4 for free. but then couldn't wait for release day on the 22nd. So I registered on Origin, paid £ 15.99 for a Premier subscription and started playing the game on PC now, because I couldn't wait a day longer.
So a lot of reviews are coming out now, and the general consensus on youtube seems to be "wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle" with the attitude being "wait for a sale, or check back in a few months". People are saying if you got a dedicated squad of friends to play with it certainly helps with the monotony of the overall experience, but it falls off HARD if you are PUGing it.
Can any of you (that played this) add some more pros and cons? What is your personal opinion? I really want a fun sci-fi game, and I don't generally dislike looter-shooters, but if this is in fact half-baked I'd rather stick to monster hunter world with some odd warframe sprinkled here and there.
My problem with the game is that the basic minute to minute combat isn't as good as Borderlands or Destiny. The guy in this video expresses the problems with combat very well. its at 9 minutes and 2 seconds if the time stamp does not work.
tells or telegraphs are an essential part of PvE combat.

Honestly, at this point I wouldn't buy at all. If you really want to play, get a 1 month subscription to origin and play for a month. New content is very far away anyway (nothing announced, massive amount of bugs to fix and polishing to do)
When the first DLC arrives the main game could very well be F2P already
Patch is allready in. Atleast game is different in many stuff now. Still lot of buggy quests and missions which dont go foward. People farming first 2 chests on strongholds, and all the power is behind you just getting those legendarys. All rng and thats it.
Now that I've done my grind for endgame gear, All I can say you can get about 2 days worth of playing at end game before it feels too repetitive.
Also End game gear (leggys/MW gear) are way too powerful compared to epics or gear you end campain with. Good legendary weapon and components just are 5x more powerful than any before. Weapons having random rolls with +200% damage are absurd. Its not even fun before you get any of those gears, cause you know, everything after grandmaster is basically balanced around this OP stuff. GM2/3 are more balanced around the fact that you have team syenergies which give benefits from combos (which is impossible to manage with LFR style tool). You can ofcourse clear whole GM2/3 with just patience and cheesy strats, but it takes more time than clearing gm1 3-4 times, which gives good chunk of MW and legendaries.
Overall, its basically startting point of loot&shooter which needs lot of time to develope to actually compete any other looter shooter around there(div, destiny). If you absolutely love iron man style gameplay, its good game. But if you're just generic loot&shooter fan, it wont tick many boxes on your expectation list.
edit. typos and such. Also quick heads up, mission with skar base (not the acid thingie), everyone leaves after 2nd chest. Used to be "THE" speed gearing tactic and no one sticks for last boss even after they made it guarantee drop MW (or so goes hearsay in reddit).

Destiny 2 was a complete clusterfuck at release but now (or since Forsaken release) it's a pretty decent game IMO. I never expected Anthem to deliver the perfect endgame at release anyway, so that doesn't bother me much

And how much money will you have invested in D2 by the point it has gotten to a 'pretty decent game'? Base game + Season pass + Forsaken + season pass. Sorry if my standards are slightly higher then 160? bucks for decent.
Tbh 160 bucks is not that much if you get 500+hrs of entertainment... Not every game is dota 2 where everything is free but the time you invest in while maintaining a very good and mostly polished product with incredible replayability and depth.
Would I, personally, pay this for a loot shooter? No.
EPT
