‘Destiny 2’ Iron Banner Emblematic Of Game’s Larger Problems

INQ: Destiny 2 has been available on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One for a little more than a month now. In that time, the game’s community has voiced numerous complaints about different aspects of the shooter. The launch of Iron Banner earlier this week encapsulates almost all of them.

That's my overall problem with Destiny 2 really, all these events no longer really feel special, they're nothing more than a fresh carrot put on the end of the same stick you've been using since you finished the campaign. Completely agree about the sound design though, hands down some of the best gaming audio from effects to the music I've seen in a game in a long long time.

My personal issue with the event is how much time they expect you to sink into it to get just one set of armor for a single character. I am rank 12 Iron Banner, which took me about 15 hours to get, and I've only gotten two armor pieces. I've in fact gotten more standard armor, which shouldn't be on the rewards table at all for the event.

Otherwise, my issues with Iron Banner are just my issues with PvP in the game in general which seems to be split. I've seen people complain about TTK being too short when I've died in less than two seconds all the time and even some think grenades aren't powerful enough even though I think they're instant kills depending on your class. Some people want to kill based on who gets the first shot off, others just think weapons aren't well balanced.

I don't know who is right, but maybe if everyone is complaining from different sides it's not as imbalanced of broken as it seems.

Its the peer to peer connection garbage. Sometimes I will think I started the fire fight and lose in 2 seconds out of nowhere(like COD). You can really tell some games are affected by connections

Yeah the use of peer to peer with Sony consoles and other formats has ruined online gaming. Its a cheap cop out so the publishers dont have to include dedicated servers or pay for services that Gamespy looked after.

Tankbusta402399d ago

Meh Destiny is all about RNG. I know it sucks for a timed event like this but thats the base this game is made on. Hell I wanted Sweet Business for my Titan for a month and finally got it yesterday. I bet people got it on day 1 without even trying!

link2Dpast2399d ago (Edited 2399d ago )

Only exotic I use on PvP, at first I was skeptical but it feel freaking great when you blazing at someone else and they stop mid clip to reload while you still have like 65 bullets left😅. When playing with better players though gun is obsolete, any scout takes you down fast because the gun takes time to start up. I usually just start shooting before they even appear in my view since my mini stays up while I shoot, then I stop for a second to lure them out thinking I'm reloading but no just waiting for them and the gun is still in range to shoot fast,strat works pretty well

Tankbusta402399d ago (Edited 2399d ago )

Yeah I have yet to try it out in PVP, I really wanted it for PVE to use with the Actium War Rig

And why did they have to pick Control as the only mode?! Imo it's the least fun out of all. And why aren't there more PvP modes?

Quetzll2399d ago

They'll release them down the road. They need to withhold content so that when active users drop, they release a new game mode. Keeps people on their good side. I'd bet my PS4 that they release a standard 6v6 mode before the end of its first year.

Gwiz2399d ago

That's pretty much their strategy.

InMyOpinion2398d ago

And maybe they could make strikes worth playing while at it? An Iron Banner-esque event for strikes would be nice. And remove that stupid timer from Nightfall also. Bungie needs to hire smarter game designers.

thorstein2399d ago

Iron Banner is always about Control. You place your Banner and the winning side has the most Iron will to withstand the other team.

I wish there were more options too. And I hate that Trials still doesn't have matchmaking.

I mean, they should get flack. They stole designs and art, as well as used AI. They also did the same thing when it came to their other game which was a ripoff of Hollow Knight

Christopher3h ago

All claims of stealing assets were from someone who modified assets to make them look the same AFAIK.

Michiel198956m ago

most games are ripoffs of something with their own spin on it, except we call it iterating. As long as the so called "rip offs" are fun and good, I'm all for it.
