      The story, despite having great looking cutscenes, was kind of a mess. It had no real progression and failed to even adequately explain what Siva is. And I still don't really understand what the hell rasputin has to do with it all. Is he saying the rasputin we've been helping has been a siva puppet all along? I thought there was potential, but it fell flat. The missions themselves however are some of Destiny's best. Especially the last mission. The plaguelands are pretty awesome though. I wish archon's forge had better matchaking behind it, but when it gets going it's pretty great. I like the look of the area, and the verticality of the area with the overpass. The new strike was fun, but it doesn't really matter to me if it's randomized when all the rooms look the same. I feel like I'm going the same way every time because there's alost no visual variety to show that I am in a different spot. It's a good effort and the boss was hectic and fun. I actually enjoyed the nightfall, once my fireteam started shooting the shanks the second they appeared it was much easier. Sepiks strike is fun and I'm not super impressed with abomination but I'm glad it's there. Supremacy is fine. I'm not big on pvp, but when I do play it's usually control. It adds some variety though, but we really need some true obj. based modes. CTF, assault, etc.. Those probably won't come to destiny 2. The raid is top notch, I am only at the first phase of the final boss, but I've loved going through it so far. The look and vibe is awesome, the feeling of a journey is really well conveyed when you emerge on the top of the wall and you can look way back and see where you entered the raid. You can also look ahead and see where you'll be going. The siege machine shows that they're thinking more about what an encounter can be and are doing more than just bosses and jumping puzzles. I wish the entrance was in a true public space like VOG, but oh well. A lot of the content is good, the exotic quests are another fun addition for the post-game. They really messed one thing up though, and it kind of blows my mind. Blue engrams are essentiall worthless. Once you hit 340, which will happen pretty quickly, blue encrypted engrams become worthless. Any item that comes outof one will be capped at 340, unless you get lucky and it turn into a purpe item. Then you're forced to grind strikes for a max of two items that will drop from the boss already decoded. The decoded blues can be up to 365. This change makes the grind so slow, forcing you to wear blue items for minimal light increases to ensure that the next item you get has a better chance of being the slightest bit better. Want to wear your purple gear that is a little bit lower but not worth the resources to raise by a light level or two? Well too bad or you better remember to hecticly change back to the better gear right before you kill the boss. And every trip to the cryptarch now lacks excitement. Engrams are meant to get that pavlovian response, where you feel excited by the potential for some sweet loot. You take all your engrams to the cryptarch like a kid gathering up presents to open on their birthday. Except now you already know whats in the presents, and its socks. Worse it's socks that you already own and theyre the wrong size so you can't wear them anyway. I am just stunned that this came on the heels of the april update, which fixed the progression loop in a lot of ways. TLDR: 6.5-7/10

      The original was dumb even back when it was released. I have no hopes for a sequel/remake/reboot, especially from the guy who made You're Next, which was a total garbage fire of a horror movie.

      Dropped Frames - A weekly podcast similar to Frame Trap that also focuses a lot on streaming as a profession. Rollplay - A Patreon funded series of roleplaying shows with thousands of hours of content. Right now they have two weekly shows: Court of Swords: A traditional DnD 5E show set in a world inspired by Khmer and other Asian culture. More hardcore than TTE but still a lot of silliness too. Nebula Jazz: A Fate Accelerated show set in space in a universe where the Earth was destroyed in 1986, inspired by stuff like Guardians of the Galaxy. A must watch finished Rollplay show is Swan Song. The show uses the Stars Without Numbers ruleset and is about a group of outlaws doing various missions trying to pay off the loan on their space ship. Probably one of my favorite pieces of fiction ever.

      I don't think I have ever watched a conference as much as I watched Sony e3 2016. I'm on my 8th replay.

      @Farsendor It was a good game but shown very, very, very poorly. This is coming as someone who loved the first game.

      @SweetJohnnyCage I think it'd be safer to err on the side of less categories until we see what kind of threads are made regularly and if it'd be beneficial to create more.

      @ObbyDent said in What was your Huber Moment in the past? What about next week?: My biggest Huber moment was E3 2013 with the double whammy of the reveal of FFXV and Kingdom Hearts 3. Saw that live and I absolutely lost my SHIT. This right here. I downright got chills when the KH music started playing and Sora lept from his old looks to the new HD look. The reveal of Psychonauts 2 was pretty dope for me too, loving the first one back in the day.. Possible Huber moments for me, even though I know realistically most if not all of these will not come true: Skate 4 New Prince of Persia Dark Cloud 3 Bully 2 Sequel to Kya: Dark Lineage (props to anyone who remembers this game) Beyond Good & Evil 2 (that leaked footage or whatnot was awesome)
