Community MetaSteam | June 2019 - Microsoft does what Epican't

[Arsene]

lol ... what eggscloosie

also the discussion below is hilarious ... (more in eggs thread )

Fighting games already struggle to keep a playerbase on PC. So we got a mediocre no name fighting game shadowdropping on EGS the same day as another EGS exclusive Journey which has an actual history and critical acclaim to back it up.

Amazing strategy Epic!

They blocked me for explaining how basic functions of Steam work and how their nonsensical "reason" for going to EGS was factually false.

 

[SRossi]

When you buy Shadowkeep you just get the expansion and preorder bonus. Nothing else.

Base Game (Free) = All Year 1 Destiny content

Shadowkeep ($35USD) = Shadowkeep + Preorder bonus

Year 2 Bundle ($40 according to stream) = Forsaken + Forsaken Annual Pass

There is no mention if Bungie will release a legendary edition for $60 containing everything up to Shadowkeep like they've been doing for years though. The reason why the Steam preorder says you get the base game is because you cant preorder DLC for a game you dont own, and since Destiny 2 isnt available on Steam yet, Bundling the DLC and the F2P package is the only way to let you preorder it.

but what about those 4 season passes? do they have literal season passes? so, winter season pass, fall season pass? if so, wow

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

TBH, I would rather have a 3D fighting game based on Godzilla. Something like Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters.

Ditto. Not my kind of thing tbh
Please don't ban me

Edit: actually nope, I forgot I have the OG Divinity's too, only missing Dragon Commander

I don't want to get banned either, but I want to stir the hornet's nest.

When I finally got a PC capable of playing games in 2001-2002, I bought Baldur's Gate 2 and Icewind Dale. Hated both of them.

 

[Arsene]

but what about those 4 season passes? do they have literal season passes? so, winter season pass, fall season pass? if so, wow

No. They have a Annual Pass every year. Where they release a DLC every season. Shadowkeep will be the Fall DLC and the Shadowkeep annual pass will have a dlc in winter, spring and summer.

 

[toxicitizen]

Lol first Halo and now Destiny on Steam. Plus devs actually skipping the EGS as a marketing tactic. Could the dark times finally be coming to an end???

 

[SRossi]

so this is a misquote?

If you order the Digital Deluxe Edition, you’ll get four Season Passes,

or do i get the last season passes and future ones?

Apparently they're from Chile. Surprised that they are against key resellers, given how popular Steam and nuuvem is in South America.

We won't really know until later this year.

Living the 100% Larian lifestyle.



Oh.

....

My life has been a lie! Not anymore tho.

Thought mine was a lie for second too! Should've known not to doubt myself

 

[derFeef]

I am not as much as a Larian fan as everyone else but hope they do BG justice.

 

[Arsene]

so this is a misquote?

Shadowkeep = 1 Season
Annual Pass = 3 Seasons

You get 4 Seasons (dlc) with the deluxe edition. The shadowkeep one, and the 3 in Winter 2020, Spring 2020, Summer 2020.

If you want the earlier seasons you have to buy Forsaken and the Forsaken Annual Pass which will be available in a $40 separate bundle

If you want every piece of content from the base game launch to September 2020. Consider waiting until the game launches on Steam and getting the Destiny 2 Complete (if it comes to PC)

Why bungie is calling their individual dlc’s season passes instead of just calling the Annual Pass a Season Pass is beyond me. Fucking ridiculous I know.

 

[JMTHEFOX]

Oof, that was very unprofessional of them to do so. Looks like my interest for their game dwindled down by a ton.

I have follwed you back as a way of cheering you up.

Starcraft spinoffs have bad luck.

Overwatch 2 will probably launch with the next generation of consoles or shortly after.

 

[lashman]

Starcraft spinoffs have bad luck.

to say the least

 

[derFeef]

Blizzard is on a downward spiral for me after Brood War so... not surprising.

 

[gabbo]

Overwatch 2 will probably launch with the next generation of consoles or shortly after.

As I told my friends back in highschool before D3/SC2 were things, and Warcraft was still an RTS, Diablo will get the FPS before the other two classic franchises do. I stand by this and they continue to give me strength with these kinds of announcements

 

[Hektor]

When the only news about a cancelled game you wanted to play after 10 years is that it got cancelled a second time

Jeez, how hard can it be to make a Starcraft shooter

 

[Le Pertti]

It's come a loooooooooooooooooong way since it first released in EA.

Yeah, but it always goes the same for me... "Oh wow things are going great! (A bit later) stress vometing everywhere!"

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

I just want another MMO from Blizzard.

 

[QFNS]

I don't even want Overwatch 2 (though that comparison to Left 4 Dead is interesting), but the cancellation of yet another good idea by Blizzard doesn't sound out of the realm of possibility.

A "Battlefield" take on Starcraft is a fun idea, but I dunno if I want to jump into more horde mode shootey type games atm. Still sucks that means we won't get anymore Starcraft stuff for a damn long time. Sucks.

Gimme those cute husbandos blizzard. Bring on overwatch 2

Maybe Blizzard is just bad at connecting story and gameplay. Who could have guessed.

I need to play the old games more.

 

[PossiblyPudding]

A shooter in the Starcraft universe is such a great fit and it's shame that it never happens.

On the other hand a new Overwatch is pretty exciting. I would really love to see some sort of fleshed out single player or co-op (preferably both) mode.

 

[Blizniak]

2020 is looking nice

10/10 from Kevin VanOrd, one of Baldur's Gate 3 writers is high praise for sure.

I played physical non-Steam copies of all the earlier games.

... and something extremely strange happened to the colors in that screenshot.

(Also, between Stevey and me it seems like it's 100% confirmed that D:OS takes exactly 76 hours)

Destiny 2 #1 Top Seller on Steam, crazy!

It's an easy purchase at that price.

I was wondering earlier, where's the Destiny 2 news thread here in Meta? I almost thought that the rumor was not true. Thankfully I found the thread in Era with the confirmation. Does Meta hate gaas that much lol?

Even if I buy Destiny 2 on Steam right now, I won't be able to play my B.Net version with the year 1 expansion, wouldn't I?
