Game Informer first reported on Creutz's findings, which are based on an analysis of gaming company stock prices in the wake of various key releases. Creutz specifically cited drops in the value of Electronic Arts stock following the release of Star Wars: Battlefront II and Activision stock prices dropping after the release of Destiny 2 . While Creutz acknowledged that Destiny 2 had other reasons for attracting the ire of gamers (i.e. a buggy product on release day ), he still pointed to consume...

The Dragon's Shadow (costs 23 Legendary Shards) is an exotic Hunter class chest armor that's constructed out of wraithmetal mail and "grants movement and weapon handling speed for a short time after dodging," which should come especially handy during PvP matches, considering Hunters do a fair amount of dodging in competitive. Also, Hunters who use a Void subclass will have their class abilities recharge faster - and the ability can stack up to 3 ti Not that the standard version of the raid is no...

Polygon notes that Destiny 2 players can no longer access certain end-game content without purchasing the Curse of Osiris DLC first (and presumably future DLC as well). End-game content, such as Nightfalls and the Raid, have seen their base power level requirements increase, with Nightfalls now requiring players to have a 270 Power Level. While they're still available to the general public, the Nightfall's Prestige variant, which previously required Power Level 300, now requires 330 gear, a leve...

Now that Cayde is officially dead, it will be interesting to see how the Destiny 2 playerbase responds. Cayde was always a polarizing character who had just as many vocal detractors as he had supporters, and the event has people buzzing. If the aim of Destiny 2: Forsaken is to make things darker while also attracting some lapsed players back into the fold, it appears Bungie has found the right mix of intrigue and outrage to do so. Whether or not the expansion can actually retain its players is a...

Bungie's reputation with gamers is hanging by a thread judging by how they've been treating their consumer base lately. And the problem is that this isn't anything new for them... or for Activision. The developer employed the same shady tactics in the first Destiny game, and they got away with it, for the most part, which is why they've brought the same mechanic back for the sequel. But now that the gaming industry is under fire for its predatory tactics, with EA bearing the brunt of the industr...

Since this aspect of the game is how Bungie and publisher Activision are milking extra cash from players they have likely designed the game to encourage players to pay more, and they did this by slowing down XP earning rates behind-the-scenes. That was an intentional design choice and arguably a misleading one. Instead of the levelling progress bar filling out at a normal rate, players rigorously tested and discovered that Destiny 2 was cutting the amount of XP earned for activities completed cl...

A spokesperson for the developer clarified that this system has not been implemented in-game as of yet, referring chiefly to the recent release of Destiny 2 and the forthcoming release of Call of Duty W The element of chance inherent in these systems led gamers to question their nature as a form of gambling. The ESRB has since weighed in on the debate and decided that this is not the case. While their legality has apparently been clarified, the morality of targeted microtransactions remains up f...

"For example, if the player purchased a particular weapon, the microtransaction engine may match the player in a gameplay session in which the particular weapon is highly effective. This may encourage the player to make future purchases to achieve similar gameplay resul However, Destiny 2 was never going to maintain this reputation purely on its vanilla content, and developer Bungie has a timeline of expansion releases similar to the first Destiny . The first of these expansions is called Curse ...
