@vesseloftauceti The knife should be the last resort, you're right. but not an equalizer, or else why would you bring shotguns, smgs? Guns at all?
If all else fails you definitely should use a knife. It shouldn't be the problem solved.
I do feel bad for the devs. They have worked relentlessly for upwards of 20 years plus on the whole universe. It would be more than heartbreaking for them, I just hope they're able to continue what they love doing, they've proven that they're the best out there.
As stated, it has been about their financial margins not being met. We've all played lethal company. They didn't meet their quota. I expect to see multiple smaller games being developed as Sony wants to keep Bungie around. I doubt Bungie will shut down the servers for destiny.
Alright, so. My sources (Bungie, not Sony), on the "Sony revenge" storyline:
- The impression is that this reported info *probably* comes from PlayStation employee observers, not anyone high up with significant knowledge of leadership's mindset.
- Some at PlayStation have "publicly wondered" why D2 is ending support, but keep in mind there are like 12K people working there.
- This is almost entire financial, simply Destiny 2 cost more than it made. Math. Cruel math, but math. No one at Bungie has any belief this is some "revenge" idea.
- It is obvious to everyone Bungie has not performed well and it is not exactly Sony's golden child. But this idea that Sony is blaming Bungie for Concord and all the rest of the live stuff is a huge reach. Sony isn't doing this to "punish" Bungie for some transgression via its live service plans or game underperformance.
- Despite atomizing Destiny 2 support to the point where there won't even be hotfixes, there are zero plans to wind down actual servers.
So take anything too hyperbolic with a giant pile of salt. Like the basics may be true, Bungie didn't live up to what Sony wanted, some employees working at PS may not understand or like this move, but this isn't as cloak and dagger as it's being portrayed. It's corporate, albeit that is obviously its own kind of bad. I'll probably have a piece or vid on all this tomorrow, but I see this spreading like wildfire.
@Nymiixl Oh! And there is already movement practice maps, custom servers (b-hop) where you can also learn the movement in the game.
Since you love source movement, I'm sure you'll get b-hopping down fairly quickly.
I believe they're working on a surf server too!
@Nymiixl Coming from apex to deadlock made me want to keep similar controls.
The best tip I can give for using actives, try to always get at least one every game so you can get used to them.
Counter spell too so you can force yourself to learn parrying.
@TheWarPlay@dillonatm I'm not gonna pretend I know the ins and out of how Sony & Bungie do their work. I just know from experience as an ex internal game dev that not everything is as it seems.
