In Gambit, the overlap between PvE and PvP really shines, with countless enemies to consider while also trying to eliminate members of the opposing fireteam through invasions and mote collecting. However, in Gambit Prime the objective is made more difficult with the inclusion of wizards that need to be eliminated in order to do damage to the Primeval. Remember that Gambit Prime is one winner-take-all round, and whenever the Primeval is summoned, THREE wizards will need to be eliminated first to make the boss vulnera
The Dark Below expands upon many Edge of Fate expansion the game's worst elements rather than introducing new ideas or building on the things that really worked. What little story development provided falls far too short and much of the length comes not from additional content but instead meaningless grinding. The Dark Below offers something new to do for those who have already reached the endgame, but very little e
A common complaint about Halo at the time was that matches were always about map control and power weapons. This was true, and it made turning the tide of battle difficult. Halo matches were won purely through map knowledge, coordination and often just out-playing one’s opponents. There was no gear/build meta to keep track of and no rock-paper-scissors element outside of challenging power-weapon users. The team that made the best use of the common tools was the team that won. Turning a match around was difficult, yes, but it could be done with enough effort. The result: a feeling unmatched by most modern multiplayer shooters.
What is interesting lies outside the campaign when Europa properly opens up. The mysterious moon of Jupiter holds many secrets within the Clovis Bray facilities and discovering what the infamous Golden Age scientist was up to leads to genuine fantastic revelations that manage to push the story of Destiny further. All the intrigue and interesting lore bits surrounding Clovis Bray might have ultimately made for a better campaign than what Beyond Light does offer. Outside of its use in the story, Europa functions like any other patrol zone. Players load in, fly their Sparrows around, participate in Public Events, loot some Lost Sectors and complete quests. Europa distinguishes itself from other locales with its random snowstorms, that while impressive the first few times, get old the more you play. The Bray facilities' glossy white internals are unique enough compared to other locations, but wandering around Europa doesn't feel any different from any other location.
After the success of The Witch Queen, Lightfall felt like a bit of a backward step to many Destiny 2 players. It certainly has its positives, but these are largely overshadowed by the expansion's lackluster campaign and the fact that a lot of the content that it offers retreads old ground; clumsily, in most instan
If you’ve played any game in the past few years then you’ll understand a harsh reality: load times are getting longer. As our gaming worlds got bigger, textures and geometry got more detailed, graphical effects increased, and load times also increased. While a handful of well-optimized games managed to cut the time, it wasn’t out of the ordinary to wait close to a minute or even longer to load into some games.
Not everyone can call on a full fireteam to take up a six-person raid but the most helpful thing players who queue up solo can do is use that headset of theirs. In PvP, communication is the difference between a control point captured or lost, and using every opportunity to help your teammates with callouts (even after you've died) can make all the difference in team chemis
It's clear Destiny 2 , Bungie's cosmic-sized first-person shooter has continued to grow in popularity, and in terms of the content offered by the franchise, for the last few years. With their newest expansion Beyond Light just weeks away from being released, countless players have spent much of their time painstakingly refining their loadouts and subclasses before planetary materials, quests, and weapons get vaul
Nine Cat Statues are spread across the Dreaming City. Giving one of these statues a "Small Gift" will grant a Dreaming City item before despawning. Much like Corrupted Eggs, these cats are account locked and will not resp
The Dark Below was the very first Destiny expansion, and, at the time, nobody quite knew what to expect. The game had overcome some of its earlier teething problems and was starting to build up a head of steam. Sadly, The Dark Below offered little to help maintain the game's momentum. Perhaps that was to be expected though given its relatively low pr
The Taken King had a hefty price tag when it was first released. What's more, it also required the first two expansion packs in order to play it. Thankfully, it was worth every penny. It included a new story campaign, new enemies, and new locations. Pretty much new everything. The Taken King was almost like an entirely new game and couldn't have arrived at a better t
