Destiny 2 Always Gives Us Something to Do Every Week Destiny 2 Always Gives Us Something to Do Every Week

If you’re like me and many others, your running out of stuff to do in Destiny 2 – outside of the weekly activities. Worry not, next week we will see Lord Saladin and the return of the Iron Banner and more. Last week, we saw the introduction of Faction Rallies.

This was a fun, cool way to get players logging in every day. Though it was a neat idea putting other players against each other – outside of PvP, it didn’t feel like that, it felt like just another currency to hand in to an NPC.

Who will you pledge to?

For those who don’t know about the Faction Rally it’s an event where you pledge to a faction; Dead Orbit, New Monarchy, or Future War Cult. Every activity will earn you tokens associated with the faction, in doing so will grant you gear and weapons from the faction. The neat part is at the end of the week a winning faction is announced and will grant everyone a unique weapon. For the players who pledge to Dead Orbit (current winners) you get a scout rifle for 1000 glimmer (currency), as for who didn’t you can grab it for 50000 glimmer.

Lord Saladin is back with The Iron Banner

Yesterday, Bungie announced the return of the Iron Banner and the release of the prestige mode raid, all of which will drop on Tuesday, October 10^th (weekly reset). The Iron Banner is a PvP event that comes every month and is active for a week. This event is huge because of the lore behind the Iron Banner and how small lore bits are revealed during the event. It also holds one of the best and cool looking gears in the game.

Amazing Iron Banner Gear

To start the Iron Banner, look for Lord Saladin in the tower. Once that’s done your free to do any PvP content to gain tokens to hand in to Lord Saladin. Winning will grant you more tokens and losing will give you less. The Iron Banner is starting on October 10^th 2AM PST and ends on October 17^th 2AM PST.

Lastly, the hardcore audience can finally get a taste of the prestige Leviathan raid. There’s not much information about the prestige mode, but there are minimal changes to mechanics. Like the Prestige Nightfall, the Prestige raid is a recommended power level of 300. Let’s do this again…

Ever since launch Bungie has been slowly but surely rolling out content. This is great, it gives everyone a chance to catch-up before heading to the next new shiny thing. Though the hardcore audience is running out of things to do, having something to do every week whether that be Faction Rallies, Iron Banner, or Weekly activities will bring someone back. Someone like minded as me.

Mario Tennis Aces “Swing Mode” is Really Disappointing

Mario Tennis Aces is the latest entry to the Mario Tennis series. This time around Nintendo did no wrong with their tennis series giving us an adventure mode where you move from level to level to complete a series of challenges, a fun online/offline tournament, and exciting local play. I haven’t played the Mario Tennis series since the GameCube days, but I’m having as much fun as I did back then, expect for one mode that made me hate motion controls. During the lead up to launch I had questions about full motion controls, if they would support it for full matches? Can it be an alternative? and will it be like Wii Sports or will it have depth will in the base game? These questions were answered just a couple of days before launch and I was disappointed in how Nintendo implemented the motion controls. Coming from the developers of Wii Sports and how well the motion controls worked with the tennis mini-game gave me hope that Nintendo could do something great with motion ...

My Game of the Year (2017) – Destiny 2 #3

There was a lot of excitement for the Bungie ’s second go around with Destiny 2 . There was a lot of controversy over what was changed and what didn’t return from the first Destiny . At first the changes were for the better, it allowed new players to finally wrap their head around the system that was difficult to process in original Destiny. Rising reputation with an NPC is one change that was assessable newcomers. In Destiny 1 it always felt like a chore, because of the bounty system. This system made it a more difficult task due to the action associated with the bounty – this can range from headshots with a sniper in PvP to complete 3 strikes. With Destiny 2 , the reputation is more streamline with turn-in tokens. Earning these tokens are common and I great resource of gear/weapons when you’re first starting out. These tokens are associated with each planet. Its great Bungie is listening to the players and in doing so, made an assessable loot shooter for the ca...

My 2016 Game of the Year: # 5 Firewatch

#5 Firewatch When I first saw early builds of Firewatch I thought it was a different and new approach in an engaging narrative. The way you can interact with objects and the small clues you can find within the environment provides more life to the world. Firewatch was the first game I played in the genre, but there are other games that have the same kind of first-person narrative. Gone Home is one of the recent and well-received first-person narrative game. The two games are similar in gameplay, you walk from objective to objective trying to put the pieces together in the world. Gone Home is set in a house, and in Firewatch’s case, you’re in an open forest. Campo Santo are the developers of Firewatch and was formed by former Telltales: The Walking Dead developers. Once I knew about Campo Santo and the developers that were working on the game I had a sense of what to expect. Character Building Makes You Sympathize with Henry The game starts strong with a se...
