Destiny 2 - I don't have time to explain Bungie's MMO shooter 2.0

First impression of the beta: much better graphics. They are pushing the hardware of the original PS4 to near PS4 pro territory.

Gameplay is fun, really fun. PvP is fun still fun.

Lots of strange decisions that seems to be in the “No Fun Allowed” territory. Like, the super reload strangely slow. You can complete a PvP game without having super ever once. Grenades also kinda slow reload.

They are pushing hard the “please use main weapons” angle, but… is a good angle? perhaps not at this cost.

Beta is super short. In less than one hour you literally have seen already everything the game have to offer, less than one hour. Supersad in this area, as I expected to level from 1 to 8 or something like that, and entertain myself in the beta for a few days, but instead is more like a short demo.

The first mission was absolutely amazing for players of Destiny 1, they nailed it with 5 stars. Not sure about newcomers, if will feel the same way for them.

I don’t know that I’d call it super short. They open with the first campaign mission, which is rather long by destiny 1 standards, and then there are 2 PvP crucible arenas including what looks like a new game type, as well as a 3 - player PvE strike, which was more involved than just about all of the destiny 1 strikes.

Super recharge in the crucible was so slow you never really got to use it, but there are new abilities bound to holding B down.

I played as a titan, not sure if you can switch classes in the beta.

Love that Fillion is back as Cayde-6 (at least in the intro mission. …).

I spent a good 3-4 hours playing last night
