    Generally, people with even fairly middling machines are getting 60fps and good graphical performance in the beta (without MSAA, at least, which Bungie's still working out). The PS4 is going to be locked at 30fps. So right there, yeah, a big jump.

    Base Ps4/XB1 graphic's is equal to around high settings on PC but the major difference is the jump from 30 to 60fps.

    I'm personally getting PS4 first and will likely main PS4 but at some point if I like Destiny 2 enough ill be buying PC as well.

    But.....DAMMMMMMMMMMMM is the difference between 30 and 60 night and day when it comes to Destiny 2.

    Only difference is that the PC version runs at 60fps and looks slightly better. Keep in mind there is always a possibility the full version will have issues but for now it looks good.

    Thanks for the information @Endus and @Jtbrig7390 . I'll have to try out both I guess. I'll keep my preorder on PS4 for now. I'll check out the beta and see how performance is on my PC to see if I want to make the jump. I have no solid reason to play on one over the other and just want to have fun playing and experiencing the game.

    PC Beta is free to get access to right? Didn't look very hard, but a cursory perusal of the Destiny 2 Beta site didn't really say one way or the other. I was going to try when I got home and find out for sure, but figured I'd ask anyway.

    I think you need to also register with Bungie.
    It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.

    Wtf. I stopped yesterday and it didn't save my place. I had to start from the very beginning.

    Then this bullshit happened.



    ?????????? "Destroy the turbines." What turbines.

    The game really doesn't have clear directions at all. The planning clearly isn't there, I guess they assume that as long as some 13 year olds get to shoot a gun on a cool looking video game, that's all that matters..........

    1. Missions don't save partway through. If you quit during one, you start over. They're essentially the same as instanced dungeons in a MMO in that way.

    2. Go down below and you'll see what you need to shoot. Look at where the quest marker is, it's below where you're looking in that gif.

    I got confused here as well, but the quest marker is literally on what you have to shoot. Basically, you hop down to each of the lowered areas and fire into the fans in each. It's a little non-intuitive, but I figured it out.

    Gameplay in the beta felt good. I much prefer shooters on PC over console. I do agree though that they should probably explain things a little clearer, I too spent more time than I should have on that turbine mission, and they didn't really tell you about the class abilities(grenade, super etc.)I had to go into the keybinds to figure out how to use those.

    Nope, I didn't have to register anything. Tho it does give you a warning that your data will be shared with Activision or Bungie (can't remember what exactly the message said. I just clicked past it).
    It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

    Well in Destiny 1 missions did have checkpoints at certain points so you could quit and return to it later. Opening missions are the exception since there would be no way to resume since you don't have access to the directory yet.

    You mean besides the marker that literally points you In the direction to go?

    I imagine that stuff is covered in tutorials, which weren't a part of this since it starts you at level 20. This was basically the build they've been showing off at shows, from what I can tell.

    Unrelated - I really wish they'd ramp up recoil. I really dislike shooters like this where recoil is all but irrelevant given how easy it is to compensate for : /

    Its the guns we got, other guns (weaker ones) and other types of guns have higher recoil.

    At lease in Destiny 1 they did.

    Well, there was this bit from earlier. They clarified there was still going to be recoil, but it definitely feels super toned down, more akin to the silly lack of recoil that exists in CoD. I hope it's not just the weapons, either, since we'll be rolling with those (and better) sooner rather than later. The audio/visual feedback from guns are great, it's just the "tactile" feedback from recoil that feels super off to me.

    I normally don't align too closely with their editors opinions, but I really do have to echo a lot of their criticisms about the game feeling too "easy". I can't compare to Destiny, since I never played, but a lot of it definitely feels like "cheating" due to the insane accuracy you can achieve - https://www.vg247.com/2017/08/30/des...-bit-too-easy/
