Anyone here play Destiny and and are excited for Destiny 2?

Yeah very excited. Destiny became a very good game after the Taken King expansion and Destiny 2 looks like it will continue that trend.

I want to like Destiny but I rarely play online with friends and I hate the grinding/loot drops of online shooters these days. I feel like I'm missing out on something though.

My friend is a serious Destiny player. I asked if I should start playing quite a while after it came out, and he said "Don't bother." Point is I think it's a game you want to start early, otherwise the player base just becomes too OP for newbs.

Yeah, I just don't have the time to grind for 20+ hours to get the good shit.

The grinding was fine after the Taken King expansion. It became very fluid experience, at least for me. You could sit and play a couple strikes and get some good loot and it would take a hour or so. I was pretty late to Destiny and it wasn't issue.

There wasn't anything OP about it.

But, are you good at the game? Because I will surely suck.

I'm okay. I enjoy the PVE more than the PVP so it's harder to judge 'good' in the PVE space of the game.

I kind of figured.

Also: I've noticed that video game podcasts I listen to are getting rather angry with Nintendo's SNES situation. Maybe I'm not as into the scene as I used to be but has anyone else noticed?

Yeah, I think pretty much everyone is angry about it.

What pods do you listen to?

I've been digging Achievement Oriented and the old standby Gamescoop!.

I guess I know everyone is angry about it, I just didn't realize the heights this anger was reaching.

Beastcast and Giant Bombcast. I listen more for the people than the news so to hear them lambast Nintendo on the Beastcast for about 10-15 minutes was kind of weird.

I wish Bombcast was like 30 minutes shorter.

I'm afraid to even mention that I got a SNES pre-order people get so angry. So I don't bring it up.

Dammit...the Best Buys here have Switches in stock but I won't want to order one because I'm so busy right now and I don't want to be all "SHINY" and fall behind on stuff. Ugh.

Seems like they've been in stock quite a bit lately. I saw four at my local Target last week.

They were at gamestop last time I went.. I was so pumped when it first came out to get it but it's months later and there hasn't been a new game I'm interested in so I'm glad I didn't get it
