Minority Mindset

GroyEhBoy’s post struck a chord with several gamers who felt similarly about Xûr’s merchandise. One individual, Drakon4314, expressed their wish but quickly balanced it with a pragmatic viewpoint, emphasizing the importance of Eververse in Bungie’s business structure. Many others agreed, suggesting that while it would be thrilling to see Xûr offer seasonal ornaments, such an idea seems quite improbable given that the company has developed an entire marketplace around selling these items. As one commenter put it, “This won’t happen, Eververse operates independently,” indicating that the appeal of Xûr offering affordable cosmetics is overshadowed by Bungie’s strategy to generate revenue through paid content rather than free transactions.

It appears that Bungie has accidentally introduced a small yet significant issue in gameplay, which players humorously refer to as “Weightgate”. Essentially, buying items consecutively from Xur often results in receiving duplicate items with similar stats, as explained by Big-Daddy-Kal. This repetition of identical drops is causing concern among the gaming community, who feel that weapons and gear are on a loop, continuously repeating without any variation, much like a broken merry-go-round. In essence, it’s akin to playing a cosmic lottery where instead of hitting the jackpot, you just keep getting the same tickets, and understandably, people are growing tired of this pattern.

In essence, the main appeal of Destiny 2 lies in the thrill of pursuing weapons, a pursuit that players find incredibly enjoyable. As one user, “YeahNahNopeandNo,” put it, each weapon is worth acquiring at some point since the journey to get them is what makes the game exciting. This sentiment is shared throughout the discussion, suggesting that the anticipation and grind for weapons bring a unique thrill to the experience. Players seem to be motivated not just by the end result, but also by the exploration and collection process, venturing into every hidden corner of Destiny 2. The pursuit for weapons keeps players engaged and wanting more, much like the excitement of hunting for rare Pokémon. Who would have thought that chasing guns could be so exhilarating? It’s as if you were capturing Pokémon, but instead, you’re obtaining fancy rifles!

Developers of Destiny 2 consider the subclass system a key aspect of player individuality and gameplay variety. The idea of new subclasses excites players, but it’s not without challenges. There has been a lot of buzz about the Red Subclass, but its release seems to keep getting postponed, causing some players to question if it even exists. One comment suggested, “I wouldn’t say canceled, but more like delayed until another expansion. The concept is still good!” This sentiment reflects both anticipation for something that could significantly enhance the game and new strategies in gameplay, as well as a note of caution due to Bungie’s past performance, making some players cautious about expecting new subclasses soon.

In a recent announcement, there’s a short video available for viewing below, hinting at several potential games that could be updated. Around the same time, Tales of Graces f Remastered was unveiled, Scott compiled a wishlist of games he dreams to see remastered. Check it out here. I’m eagerly waiting to discover which game will be unveiled this summer; hopefully, it’s either Tales of the Abyss or the Xillia Duology.

In the style of Rocket League for soccer enthusiasts, players assume command of an individual kicker on the field, viewing the action from a third-person viewpoint instead of directing an entire team as seen in conventional sports titles such as FIFA by EA Sports.
