-Vahagn- Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) I've been out of the loop for some time now. However I have been seeing lately that people are talking about Destiny 2 in railjack discussions. Though I am a bit confused, is this due to player numbers and why in railjack specifically? I mean destiny 2 is a great game, but why are we talking about it more with the introduction of railjacks? Are players leaving Warframe to play Destiny 2, or something like that? Sorry if I sound confused. I came back to Warframe after playing other games. Edited January 21, 2020 by WH1735S0W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844448 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Don't know, but so far I'm playing destiny 2 to get that homing rifle exotic which looks like buzlok wannabe while questioning what am I doing because I have drang with rampage and innate masterwork so I don't need to get another gun at all 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walkampf Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 People are stupid, that's why. They are scifi online Shooter with loot. That's enough for some people to compare them. It's basically all about self justification. They find 2 things that are very remotely similar and then compare the differences in order to make their favourite stand atop. P.S. WF and D2 have always been compared a lot, even WF and D1 have been. It's not a new topic, it simly fell asleep for a while. But since D2 is now also free2play there are now 5 things, that they are the same, so those desperate blockheads have another reason to dig up the dead horse again, to beat it some more. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also try getting the sturm, it goes very well with the drang. 3 minutes ago, Walkampf said: They are scifi online Shooter with loot. That's enough for some people to compare them.

You shouldn't try to understand the mind of a lunatic. Just step aside when they are throwing their cooking ware out of the window, after sorting it for weight, at 3.A.M. while humming the intro of 'Friends'.

(PSN)drpunk-yo Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Destiny 2 went F2P (ish). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSG501 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Probably because it's now f2p and is 'similar enough' to warframe that some see it as a viable alternative to warframe in it's current state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaotyke Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Remember when we compared Warframe with Anthem? Huh? Anyone? No one going to speak up? Anthem? The looter shooter made with Bioware Magic? That uses tears and therapy as mana? ... ok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diangelius Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I played D2 and apart from the fact that both games having the same PvE looter shooter theme where you pick strongest weapons and equipments to go sweeping all mobs and bosses, there is nothing else I find from D2 similar to WF. Those people who compared WF and D2, I believe they were just short-term hype. Heck, WF was even compared to Anthem the failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can have some common points. I dont know Destiny that much. I mean they are both products made to sell so yeah they can look alike. But you cant say they are the same. Warframe has a certain essence, a certain soul. Its no really so generic that you can mistake it for another. You can completely ignore it and play smashing the keyboard of course. Then every videogame looks the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its no really so generic that you can mistake it for another. i already said it has nothing to do with the way they look or sound, that doesn't determine whether the games compete with each other or not. the 'content' that each game is majority comprised of is nearly the same. Destiny does have some outliers here and there such as Mysteries/Puzzles as routes to acquiring certain items of which Warframe has no such thing, but there isn't much else that doesn't line up very closely. what Players do and how they do it in each game is so, so very similar.

ThorienKELL Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Usually in a rant "RJ was bad, I'm leaving for Destiny!", right? ; ) Because people are parrots with no ability of critical thinking. Whoever even mentioned warframe in the same sentence as soulless corporate trash as destiny, deserves to play destiny. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that point I refer them to Destiny 2, so they can at least visit the forums and see what a REAL dumpster fire looks like.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-VS-Airikr Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I personally have never seen anyone do D2 comparisons in railjack themed discussions Heck it doesn't even make sense to do so, D2 has no similar game mechanic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XBOX)GearsMatrix301 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Both are space MMOs. Both involve shooting different faction enemies with guns.both involve progression systems and loot.

GrimSinner Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Many Warframe clan discords now have a Destiny 2 section, and my previous WF clan nearly abandoned WF altogether to play D2. Similar or not, WF players do seem attracted to D2. I'm all for the competition, it can only drive the developers to improve their content to retain players.

Ham_Grenabe Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 It's always struck me as the thinnest of comparisons -- there are games that have a LOT more in common with Warframe. Anthem, for instance, is (or was...does Anthem still exist?) much, much closer to Warframe in playstyle, aesthetic, and technical features than the various Destinies ever were.

Ace-Bounty-Hunter Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) It's ironic, because no one gave two s***s about Destiny 2 while it was a full price game. But brainless idiots suddenly treat it like the second coming when it becomes (mostly) F2P. I don't care if Activi$ion no longer has their grubby mitts on it. A turd will always be a turd. Destiny can rot in the garbage heap along with Anthem. Edited January 21, 2020 by (NSW)Ace-Bounty-Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)FriendSharkey Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 It's a good thing...Competition of any sort imagined or not promotes both developers to produce better content...Plus both games are so different from each other in so many ways yet they retain the Sci-Fi adventure audience between them that if you went by Region chat at any moment of the day it can suddenly become a large Destiny AAA meeting...

Serafinia Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) Basically every game is a competition, because you the player are free to choose what game do you play if you have a huge merits of it. I personally likes to play with starsector, rimworld, starcraft2, magic the gathering and so on and yet I play warframe too. Simply becuse the game is interests me and it has a charm I likes. You can argue with which one is better, you can make comparation if a game is in the similar genre, but any grown up person only care about what he/she likes to do in free time. I do not see Destiny a direct competition ( by personal view ) but those whom like the two game maybe will do try both. In my part I skipped that game, because found the price tag a bit high and the story-visuals not what I really liked so I just skipped.

Exactly. I don't play D2 but I want it to get absolutely massive just so DE sh*ts themselves and starts to really change how they approach WF. Not even sure how similar they are, but I know they are seen as competitors by some within the WF community, and almost everyone outside of it. Maybe then we'd actually have something done about dam/armor scaling, unique game modes in different areas, and a complete/cohesive game instead of a collection of isolated islands. I'll go way out on a limb and say maybe we'd actually get some kind of high level, skill-based challenge instead of gear-check "challenge" (endgame, if you want to call it that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
