destiny-2In this episode:

We breakdown our thoughts and impressions from the Destiny 2 PC Beta.

Show Notes:
We discuss our overall experience in the BETA, and what was new and exciting.

We talk through the insane graphics, running 60 FPS, glitches and more.

We talk classes, weapons, abilities, missions, strikes, and how they felt after the balancing fixes were put in place after from the console BETA.

We discuss PvP and break down the overall feel of solo and individual game play.

Overall you will here plenty of excitement between Victus and myself as we are huge Destiny nerds, and I’m sure you will even here us disagree on some topics, but that’s what makes a good discussion.

destiny-2In this episode:

We breakdown our thoughts and impressions from all the Destiny 2 content we’ve played.

D2 releases on September 6th and it can’t get here fast enough!

Show Notes:
We discuss our overall experience in the BETA, and what was new and exciting.

We talk through the past story line of the game, what felt refreshing about D2 and what we have to look forward to with the release.

We talk classes, weapons, abilities, missions, strikes, raids, and everything else we could get our hands on to discuss specifics.

We discuss PvP and rant about what we loved and what we didn’t which wasn’t much, but we had a few salty moments to chat about.

Overall you will here plenty of excitement between Victus and myself as we are huge Destiny nerds, and I’m sure you will even here us disagree on some topics, but that’s what makes a good discussion.
