Solid enough but like you say more of the same for better and for worse. There is fishing.

I didn't know you were shutting the clan down. Bummer. I would have taken it over.

I didn't. Clans are disabled because of an issue.

I didn't. Clans are disabled because of an issue. Oh! I missed that detail. (Goes to double check Bungie's Help page)

I watched the teaser for Final Shape this afternoon and my first two thoughts were:
1) Awwww shit!!!
2) How are they gonna fuck this up?

I suspect that Bungie's codename "Matter" or "Marathon" for 2025 is essentially going to be Destiny 3. They have enough wild narrative threads and all that they probably are going to have to do some soft reset variant. The crew that was on Forsaken and some of the better content from Destiny 2's past has been working away at it and if you go down the rabbit trail on this and the trailers that have been coming out... I'm tilting that way. Basically, a game that's "more like Destiny 1" with bells and whistles because it's 2025 for cripes sake. We will see.
Basically after Forsaken that crew started chipping away at this project.
Rabbit trail:
(This is quite sufficient to set you all on the rabbit trail.)
Marathon might be something different. But there is this "Matter" project as well. Maybe they are the same.
I sincerely hope they don't have too many plates spinning. I chuckled at the feedback this project is getting. People aren't too impressed and it's not hard to figure out Destiny 2 has suffered for this.
I never played Escape from Tarkaov. I don't care. I don't care about a PVP only shooter so if they want to scratch that itch then that's fine but I won't be there.

Yeah Matter is definitely Marathon, and I have no interest in it.
Who keeps asking for all these PvP games?
And for God's sake, stop putting pronouns under the names of all your employees in your videos. I hate what Bungie has become.

(not much different in this. You get the picture.)
Cayde 6 and Nathan Fillion returning to do it is good news at least for Final Shape.
August 22 will be a big day where we start learning about the future of Destiny and everything else. At least they have made statements about "supporting Destiny for years to come" regardless of anything else.
PVP only games for me have been and continue to be little to no interest for me.

Who wants all these PvP only GAAS games anyway?
Sony revealed three first party PvP only GAAS yesterday. All of them with CGI. Bland and generic. "Every game is a new story." No it's not.
I'm so tired of every game, at least Western made, thinking it needs to be PvP or Co-op, always updated with new "content" and seasons.
One of the most appealing aspects of Final Fantasy XVI is that, besides being a single player game, it's a polished finished product. No day one patch. No planned DLC. No microtransactions.
Seasons are killing gaming, for me. When I hear "seasons," I immediately lose interest (with the exception of Diablo IV, of course).

FF 16 has my attention.
I don't what "focus groups" or who these companies are listening to when it comes to making these games, either. I gave up trying to figure that out a loooooooong time ago except for this:
Easy payola $$$$$
That new dungeon is...yowsa. Impressive but tough at spots. I'll be watching youtube videos for sure.

Week 2 of a new Season... and for the first time since September 9, 2014, I do not have a Destiny game installed on my PlayStation.
Deleted to make room for Diablo.

At least the fishing got fixed for people who care. Haha. (The season is ok but it's more of the same good and bad. It is what it is.)

Lol, I like fishing in games like Harvest Moon or Stardew Valley or whatever.
Pressing square then square again isn't fun to me. Could've at least made a mini-game out of it.

I haven't played Destiny in weeks, so I haven't even tried the fishing out yet. I know I thought it sounded dumb when I heard they put it in a looter/shooter.

Warts and all this is spot on. The most laid back farm you can ask for to get ascendant shards and exotics. You get bait for just about anything including planetary resources.
I sometimes do it when I know I'm near playing for a while. A relaxed way to end a session and fruitful.
Silly and not exactly optimal but really laid back.
Ultimately it's RNG and I'm mostly convinced the focused fishing meter is plabeo, BS, and/or broken. Take it for whatever it's worth.
You want tedious but fruitful? Look into the Master Ghosts of the Deep final boss cheese. Everyone is doing it. As of this writing it still isn't patched but I won't be surprised if the "scheduled downtime" today messes that up. Be aware before getting into it.
I got my full set of nice artifact taken king armor out of that thing and it was the only way that was ever going to happen.

Diablo 4 is awesome. Even if I had been interested during the first two weeks, D4 would've definitely pulled me away.

Not really my bag but Diablo 4 is clearly going to be a big success.
