Until the other thread gets moved, here i go again my caring audience!

So i found this in my need feed this AM:

http://kotaku.com/destiny-2-collectors-edition-booklet-is-a-massive-lore-1798731492

Someone has posted the text of the D2 Collector's edition book.  There is a link in the article to the text.  It has left me more excited, and amped to play!  

The disposed Cabal emperor, Calas, knew of the Hive, Vex and Fallen.  No biggie.  Interesting.  But he asks for us to kill all the revolutionaries that over threw him.  Its pretty cool.  Book of Sorrows level good!  And there is an offer of alliance at the end.  This could be interesting, and a trap!

The more community us going to go nuts with this!  I cant wait!

Trying to avoid these spoilers at all costs, but couldn't help myself and peaked at a few- very excited to start playing

So I'm bad, I've watched up to the point where you get to the EDZ.  Not too long, but it's really f'ing cool.  I can't wait to get in there!  While it looks like a prettier Destiny, it looks much deeper.  I hear people raving about the story, and some even whispering Game of the Year (for whatever that's worth).

I'm stopping at GameStop to pick up my limited edition copy today =)  Thought about it last night, but work exhausted me!

@Doc Holiday Boo Hiss!  Quitter =P

I picked up my limited edition today at GameStop.  Redeemed my codes, as soon as my kid goes to bed, and I'm all prepped for tomorrow; I'm going to begin my journey to kicking Ghaul in whatever passes for Ca-balls!

My clan has been talking poo too, but hey I have a guaranteed better job in 7 months as long as I pass this course.

Well, can't argue with that =P  Study hard!   Nerd!!!

So I played an hour last night, and I am IN LOVE.  The game feels much bigger.  Grander.  I love the Hawthorne.  Sarcastic and funny.  

Gun play is just as tight and amazing.  When you get your subclass, it's so epic!  Great planned moment.  The part after the fall made me really miss my double jump!

All I've been hearing is that the worst thing we can complain about is the shader system and eververse.  That's a GREAT start!

So how are y'all doing?  I played for like three hours Saturday night.  It was epic!  I finished the Nessus story at level 8, then saw I need to be 11 for Io....So I did some adventures and public events.  Man, Titan is the place for Public events.  Everyone was there when I was playing.

Man, I'm really in love with this game.  Sadly, I won't be able to play much this week due to work, and running myself to death last week.

Oh, I did pick up a sword.  Swords still feel amazing.

Sorry if the resolution stinks, used twitch capture to get the video.  I actually am archiving all of campaign footage, for funsies.  And to see if anyone picks it up for whatever reason.  I have zero intention of trying to youtube for a job!

Loving it.  D2 is sweet.  I've hit 20.  Have all of the titan sub-classes unlocked.  Drops have been on point.  I've gotten 5-6 Exotic weapon's or armor pieces.   

If you haven't played the nightfall or strikes for that matter just wait!  Modifiers this past week were insane.  One of them was a time limit where you could gain time by killing enemies.  Defiantly added a pucker factor to getting it complete.  The rate at which HVT's or Public events happen is nice as well.

I'm jumping all over the place here.  At first I was like... yeah... I'll um... er... get destiny 2.

 

I'm SOOOO happy that I did.

Hey guys!, I was wondering about the story in Destiny 2 so far,  is it any good?  I been hesitant about buying it because of how incomplete the first one was.  The game play is amazing yes but what about the campaign/story?  Thanks!

It's amazing.  I'm level 12, and not done, but my clan is all pumped about it.  There's wonderful character.  No, you don't talk as a guardian, but you get so much development with the Vanguard and the other new characters (Hawthorn is amazing).  I find each new mission (trying desperately to stay unspoiled) exciting and fun.

If you were iffy about D1, then D2 should lays those fears to rest.  FUN game.  I just hate work has been keeping me so busy, and that I've been so tired.  I really want to play again!

I was worried.  Not gonna lie.  I was thinking.  Do I really want to get a game with a sh*t campaign and more of the same loot hunting.  I'm glad I got this game.  The campaign was like night and day from D1.  It's like a developer listened to its fans.  When i'm grinding for gear it doesn't feel as a chore.  Something or someone is always around the corner.  I'm finding it distracting.  Take a patrol to do something.  Find 4 things to do along the way.  The NPC's have been fun as well.

      A comparison of QBs drafted #1 overall

      By Icege · Posted

      "Bryce Young did not have a good rookie season compared to other QBs selected #1 overall. My eyes say so." But... why don't the facts support this? WOA THERE NOW! Whether you're a Stroud Boy sitting down and idling by or a devout member of BrySIS, I come in peace. The purpose of this write-up is to explore the validity of a common complaint echoed by disgruntled Panthers fans. This isn't proving that Bryce Young is without fault for 2023-2024. It isn't demanding that everybody only cheer for him and never criticize. Hell, it isn't even a "Bryce is good" post. It is just a statistical look at BY9's rookie season compared to other QBs taken at #1 overall. A quick note on methodology: All of the data was pulled from Pro-Football-Reference.com, which did not have advanced stats for any QB entering the league before 2017 (Hurries, Hits, Pressures, Pressure %, Drops, and Drop %). Going back to 2000, there have been 18 QBs selected #1 overall . Blacked out boxes are for missing/invalid data. Below is the comparison: Perhaps the only thing that Panthers fans can agree on is that, despite fears regarding his size, Bryce Young can take the punishment that an NFL defense can dish out over the course of a season. While he did miss one game, the only QB that's started more games their rookie season is Trevor Lawrence. This was in spite of BY9 being sacked, hurried, hit, and pressured more than any other rookie since 2000 except David Carr (who is also #1 for fumbles and fumbles lost, where as Bryce is #2 in both of those categories). The one stat that Young did lead in was pressure percentage... No other QB in the last 25 years has been pressured more during their rookie campaign than Bryce Young. Even with all of that working against him, his body still held up.  This isn't anything new to anybody with a functioning set of eyes. Even people that think Bryce should still order from the kid's menu will admit that having eight different left guards and nine different right guards is probably going to make an already difficult situation for a rookie more difficult. This is where mobility helps bails teams out, and an additional area of concern for detractors. We won't see Young doing the same thing we saw Cam do such as carrying a defensive lineman downfield on his back or steamrolling a defensive back into the dirt. We did see him scramble though enough to put up the 7th highest rushing yards for a QB selected at #1 since 2000. Also not new to fans was the underperformance of the weapons fielded by the team last season. Scheme, playcalling, and inability to separate have been beaten to death but what if I told you that the group also had the third most drops for the third highest drop percentage out of all other teams supporting a #1 rookie QB? To say that the entire offense surrounding Bryce failed him is an understatement, and it reflects in the stats. With that context in mind, let's dive into the passing stats... Completions: 5th (315) Attempts: 6th (527) Completion %: 7th (59.8%) Passing Yards: 9th (2,877) Passing TDs: 11th (#11) INTs: 12th (10)     Having the fifth most completions, sixth most attempts, seventh highest completion percentage, and ninth most passing yards all place Bryce Young in the top half of the sample group. He was also 12th in INTs, meaning that despite the constant duress he was under while trying to find an open target that Bryce was not turning the ball over as frequently as other QBs did their rookie year. Being 11th in passing TDs is frustrating, but it's hard to get into the redzone with all of the aforementioned issues as well as the not-so-silent drive killer: penalties. Carolina was #4 in the league this past season for pre-snap penalties with 45. That means that every game had two to three false start penalties. In 2022, teams averaged 10.9 drives per game. If the same holds true for 2023, the Panthers averaging over ~2.64 false starts a game means that 25% of their offensive drives are being marched back five yards. Are these all just excuses in the end and Bryce will never be able to contend for the UFC Light Heavyweight Title? Maybe. Will it make some fans any less insufferable? Definitely not. What it will do though is help make the last two hours of a three hour meeting go by much, much faster. Hope y'all have been well. Keep Pounding!

      Nate Tice article on Bryce Young

      By PootieNunu · Posted

      He has a lot to work just to be an average starter and I dont see it happening.  Lots of blame to go around for last season but Bryce was a big part of that, even in the GB game he was dropping too far back and allowing the pass rush to tee off on him.  He cant use the same little quirks that he used in college to overcome his size in the NFL.
