It's also beating the all-time record for most concurrent users on Steam by a lot (already at 300k).

Fantastic game , never really got into it that much but got the legacy set before with queen and am making my way through it. The gameplay is unmatched.

I don’t understand destiny, I must be missing something. Never seen something so popular I simply don’t understand how it can have any interest.

Big titles sell well day one on steam. More news at 11.
I played it alot during the plunder season. I found it very fun in the beginning, but it got old very fast. I ended like level 95 or 97 in the BP, I didn't even want to finish it.

The gunplay/gun feedback is meant to be some of the best (most satisfying) out there. Need to give it another go.

They need to make a Apex or COD competitor cause I tried the game… and it’s like… what is this.

I'm envious of people who are still enthused by Destiny. I really loved the game from vanilla D1 through D2 Beyond Light but I burned out so hard during Beyond Light that I just can't stomach it any more. I watch trailers and they seem more bombastic and ludicrous than the prior ones, then I watch gameplay and it's more of the same grind that doesn't respect the player's time and wants them to commit all of their free time to it.
With their expansion + seasonal DLC model, it's essentially a FOMO driven MMO you're paying quarterly for.

Aim assists fooling the players, making them feel better...
From the original makers of Halo

You seem bothered.
Guys, guys, The_Mike didn't enjoy Destiny 2 and he only got up to level 95 so he played a lot. Let's dismiss everyone else's opinion!

It's like Halo in art style only... isn't Halo considered an arena shooter?
Halo's ADS system is also different, or not there at all. The only gun they put in D2 that is like a Halo gun is the "BXR-55 BATTLER." (https://www.light.gg/db/items/2708806099/bxr-55-battler/)

Sooner or later they have to finish the Story & either develop Destiny 3 or move on.
Unless the Story is Infinite

Having Destiny 2 as a separate game was kind of a mistake. The whole series should just have been under one title like World of Warcraft. The problem with sequels to these service games is long term players lose all their cool shit during the transition.
Sticking with Destiny 2 for so long is jarring for my console only friends because they don't really understand the concept of expansions. They think they're too far behind and need Destiny 3 to catch up, but really they'd have no issue just jumping in when an expansion is fresh.

I don’t get this game and never will. Everything about it is utter nonsense, and the way Bungie shut down content you paid for is one of the scummiest things I’ve ever seen in video games yet they got rewarded for it.

How is something the number one “seller” when it’s free to play? It doesn’t make any sense to me, Steam is weird.

Paid expansion. Steam best sellers go by revenue, not copies sold.

Oh…well in that case, some gamers are weird because they are willing to pay full price for an expansion to a ftp game.
Thread is started by a regular Gaf's news poster, there are only 36 posts here and barely 2-3 you can call "hyped", seems like someone is overreacting, or simply saying butthurted.

lol, what a stupid post. Your mind is so warped by the console wars that you don't even consider that there's a large community of people out there who love these games.
- Signed, a person who's got 2,500 hours in Destiny 1 and approaching 2,000 hours in Destiny 2.
Also signed, a PlayStation gamer.
Gamers are weird for paying for massive annual campaign drops and season passes that give smaller content drops every 3 months? Explain why, and how that's different than simply buying a brand new game each year. Then explain why it's different than the COD gamer buying the new yearly COD game. Or a sports gamer buying the new Fifa, NBA, MLB, NFL or NHL game each year. I'm sure you'll be able to eloquently and concisely explain why it's weird.

I mean....the fucking game is number 1 on Steam.
That sounds to me like someone cared about that IP lol I don't know what any of this has to do with Sony lol So they just pretending to care?
Puts 3000 hours in Destiny to pretend to care to get Lasha mad, sounds plausible.. /s

You talk like Destiny 2 was some indie underground game no one mentioned before the acquisition, lmao.

"all the pros and best players are using a controller" someone said to me in here regarding mw2.
Yeah no shit, aim assist in that game is literally an aim bot.
No one gave a shit about destiny 2 in here before the acquisition.
I remember post like ethomaz saying "i always wanted to try out destiny 2.. Great game. I'm going to jump in tonight" when the thread about Sony buying Bungie popped.
Also, it's already been bumped down to a third place, where hogwarts and Steam deck is number one, and the game just got released.

Well it's the norm that tens of millions of people do across multiple games and platforms. Still waiting to hear why it's weird.

I watched a couple of streams and man this game is looking dated.
Time to move on people it's not healthy. I've been there before with world of warcraft.
