The Curse of Osiris expansion will be released on December 5, 2017, for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. At the moment, further details regarding new weapons or armor are unknown, but fans should expect to find out more in the run-up to the expansion's release in Decem
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 of Osiris , and this additional content has just received its first trailer (watch it abo
Developer Bungie has once again found itself in the position of having to apologize to
Destiny 2 gamers. The issue, this time at least, revolves around the game's latest expansion The Curse of Osiris and the way that the game has dealt with access to certain cont
Not that the standard version of the raid is not challenging enough, but the leveled-up iteration offers a little bit more for those seeking an even more hardcore Destiny 2 gameplay. And of course, the new mode also comes with a slew of some nifty new things that should make the Prestige raid more enticing for players. Bungie has already said that they do not expect everyone to clear out the level. However, these goodies might just give gamers the extra motivation they need to succeed in what would be their latest endea
On a blog post
reviews over at Destiny2mix.com at their official site, Bungie addressed the backlash. The developer attempted to explain why the changes were made in the first place and what is being done to fix them. The post sta
Microtransactions, the in-game purchase of virtual goods with real money, has becoming increasingly prevalent in recent years. First appearing in free-to-play mobile phone games such as Farmville and Candy Crush , recent years have seen microtransactions incorporated into console game series such as Guitar Hero Live and Deus Ex . Microtransactions, it should be noted, differ from traditional downloadable content (or DLC) in that they typically offer players a concrete advantage over other players, such as better weapons and armor, verses the different costumes and character skins commonplace to traditional
With Destiny 2's first expansion, Curse of Osiris, releasing December 5th Bungie better do something special next week in addressing this and the other game issues. Trust has been broken and at a time when big publishers are on blast for manipulating and nickel-and-diming players, this is a particular bad look on Bungie and Activis
It remains to be seen if this fix will satisfy all Destiny gamers. However, it does seem much more fair than what was initially instituted in the game. It allows gamers access to the modes they were enjoying before the release of the expansion. At the same time, Curse of Osiris owners get a little bit of special treatment for their purchase. Hopefully the second time will prove to be the charm and _Destiny 2 _ will not have more issues that need address
Beyond encouraging a "pay-to-win" mentality, the legality of microtransactions has been called into question. The State of Hawaii launched an investigation into Electronic Arts following the release of Star Wars: Battlefront II , fearing that the game's loot-crate mechanic - in which the players get random items from purchasable crates - might be seen as a form of gambling aimed at children. Similar concerns have been raised by a lawmaker in the United Kingdom , who launched his own investigat
While Creutz's analysis offers a financial perspective on the matter, it is no surprise to anyone involved in the gaming industry that microtransactions are unpopular. Recent releases such as UFC 3 , FIFA Ultimate Team and Middle Earth: Shadow of War all drew fire from fans and game critics alike for introducing microtransaction-based mechanics. Most gamers are not pleased at the idea of paying full-market-value for a video game but being denied access to content that is only accessible to those with more mo
Each class will receive a single set of gear after finishing the Prestige raid, featuring a solid gold base with a purple glowing accent. Interestingly, the loot does not seem to include any new weapons. The rewards are geared more on cosmetics than raw power, which may be a bit disappointing for some who are expecting to get something tangible for finishing the level, especially for a supposedly difficult m
The Destiny endgame features a variety of activities and playlists that we want to remain relevant to players as they grow more powerful. In Destiny 1 , as your character grew more powerful throughout each expansion, some of our best content, like Vault of Glass , was left behind and lost its relevance for players. We wanted a better solution for Destiny 2 , where all of our Endgame activities could stay relevant as each Expansion causes your Guardian to grow more and more power
