One thing I always hated about mobile games is that they're always filled with ads.

And also because sometimes the buttons won't work when you touch them. Let's say, in this game, you're in a dangerous situation and you must shoot your foes immediately, but the shooting button does not respond. That's bye bye for you.

As someone with over 2,000 hours in both Destiny 1 and 2, no thanks. Game dlc was always the same just you play a old mission backwards.

I'm not a mobile gamer, but I wonder how many games support an actual controller that you attach to the phone or connect with it via wireless? In the past, I've played some GBA games though an emulator and I could never get used to the shoulder buttons being on the screen.

 

[Naster]

Yes I don't have a phone. (I do but not for playing your online casinos you lazy corporate bastards)

 

[Purple_Shyguy]

Early april fools?

 

[Bladexdsl]

ewwwwwwwww mobile

There are some games that do support a controller for mobile devices. I don't know how many do that, though.

 

[Reploid]

Is this out of season april fools joke?

 

[ZeroT21]

Reminds me of a infamous meme ''Do you guys not have phones?''

 

[codezer0]

Bungie! A game dev studio founded by the frat boys that also ran the yacht club. The audacity is astounding.

 

[NitroRevolutionNX]

Honestly thought it was a DLC for D2 the moment one of my friends sended this to me yesterday. He thought the same when he saw the announcement on YT.

 

[Domestica]

Bungie, NetEase, and a mobile game? Damn bro pick a struggle.

 

[Quore]

Yeah this game will be a no no

 

[CloudStrife190100]

Riddled with micro transactions from the get go

 

[YuseiFD]

Another flop, incoming

 

[BraveDragonWolf]

Destiny deserves no praise at ALL. I don't care how new this is supposed to look.
I still play Destiny 2 but, only for what's left of the small, free fun that it may have.

You will not believe how the much negativity is filling the bungie forums and how long it's been going on.
There is no update big enough that they can do to fix the majority of issues that most players complain about.

Spoiler

...I'm going to destroy the Destiny universe (at least another alternate timeline) with my crossover series...

set in an alternate Destiny timeline

Yeah because the story was already so clear for everyone playing
Tried getting into it, couldn't understand a single thing despite trying, and then I got told by Destiny players that they don't get shit either

Also there already was so many leaks about that thing lol, idk who is this meant for but whatever

The “lore” was hidden within giant walls of text in the first game and is just so scattered throughout the second that I’m concerned there may be a drug problem within Bungies walls.

All of them, thanks to apps like Panda Gamepad Pro. Some games support controllers natively though, like CoD Mobile.

You aren’t used to it because GBA games were made to be played on the GBA. Likewise, if you try to play some touch-only games through the app I mentioned above, chances are you might hate it.
