Watch the live action trailer for Destiny: The Taken King

Destiny update 2.0 does a whole lot right. The next few hours of my night were filled with a surge of nostalgia of the previous year of the game, and exploring all of the new 2.0 update changes in complete awe. Shotguns dont pack quite as mean a punch in PvE affairs, but they still get the job done. But the legendary Stranger’s Rifle should still be plenty useful to newer characters. Bungie really likes Led Zeppelin, apparently. Yes, gear that was previously only used for its aesthetics, like the Ghost and Class Items, now have a greater objective in Destiny. Im actually split on this one.

In Destiny Year 2, some weapons are more special than others.

For fans of Destiny, the long wait for The Taken King expansion is almost over. The next Destiny expansion is scheduled to debut on September 15. Thats kind of a problem in my book. Not all of those are hours are good hours.

Nolan North has replaced Peter Dinklage’s voiceover. Some of his delivery didnt match the moment in gameplay, but Im not sure that was entirely his fault. To get involved, head over to our Destiny Knowledge Vault. Oddly, this is one of the best parts of 2.0. Because those systems just aren’t powerful enough to play the game the developers want you to play, some features are being cut from the old gen – for a number of reasons. Similarly, any exotic gear youve collected in the past (and maybe accidentally deleted) are stored on kiosks near the Hall of Guardians. Bounty slots have been increased to 16, and a new Quest Screen will be added into the game’s Menu. Hell, some are downright very bad, but some have also been the most fun that I have had in games, and this is a game that has been out for one year. If you have a 20GB or less storage console, simply contacting Activision via its storage request form will give you the chance to net a free 32GB USB stick.
