Rumor: DESTINY ONE Characters Will NOT Carry Over To DESTINY 2!!!!

Update:  This rumor has been debunked.  Your Character and loadouts will transfer over to Destiny 2.  HOWEVER, Bungie HAS remove Three of Coins from Xur's merchandise.  THEN WHY HAVE XUR EVEN FUCKING SHOW UP THEN?????  ASSHOLE LUKE SMITH did this.  Fucking Bungie..............................

 If this is true, FUCK Bungie.
This is a classic example of a developer getting too cocky, thinking they can piss off their fanbase and will somehow spawn a new one with their sequel/revamp.They tried it with Star Wars Galaxies, FAILED. They Tried it with VF5 Final Showdown, FAILED.  Now they are potentially trying it with Destiny 2.

Don't you dare delete my Warlock, Bungie, you Motherfucks.

     Look, it took me YEARS to get the collection of weapons armor and characters I have with Destiny one.  I do NOT feel like starting all over.  One of the reasons I haven't bought the Division yet is because of the time commitment it will take to build up a character.
    
         Now in the opening paragraph, I talked about Destiny's existing fanbase... That fanbase exists because of the few things Bungie has done right with this series:  the exotic weapons and armor.   For me, the main appeal of this game besides the epic Raids is the ingenious and unique perks and special properties of the exotic weapons and armor.    The Year one Exotics are light years better than the year two and three exotics.   He's the thing,  Bungie had Destiny in development for 5 years before it was released.    That means they had 5 years to brainstorm , innovate and refine the exotic weapons etc, like GJALLARHORN.   The Gjallarhorn and year one exotics like it are the heart and soul of Destiny.   The only new exotic even halfway as good as the year one EWs is the Sleeper Simulant.

Behold, Excalibur Jr.

     The way I elevator pitch Destiny to my friends (who are hesitant to buy it because of the paper thin story)  is Destiny is more like a TV series than a movie.   The DLC expansions are episodes.

This is a double edged sword however:  Much like a TV show where the pilot and first season are light years better than  their subsequent seasons <cough> Game of Thrones<cough> Arrow<cough>
Bungie seems to be out of ideas and all their DLC expansions and new Exotic Weapons pale in comparison to their predecessors.  WHY?  Bungie is out of ideas.

    Just let us transfer our fucking characters over to Destiny 2, and focus on fixing and continuing the story. Tie up the 1,000,000 lose ends (if you haven't written yourselves into a corner already).   Do NOT try to focus on populating the game with a completely new Arsenal of Exotic weapons.  House of Wolves and Taken King have proven you are incapable of that, Bungie.  Don't get me started on Rise of Iron.  I have never been less inclined to redo a Raid ever.  Talk about buyer's remorse.

Remember THIS Chick? Is Bungie ever going to continue her story? Or are they going to just wipe out our character every 3 years to distract us from the fact that the storytelling SUCKS in this franchise?

The Exo Stranger was voiced by Lauren Conrad ( The Walking Dead).

    Case in point, Bungie cant afford not to let us transfer our favorite exotic weapons and character subclasses over to Destiny 2: that's ALL the brand has going for it at this point.  Bungie can NOT make a story contrivance to explain away your characters getting wiped.  Have you played Rise of Iron? Story is their weakest area of game development.

Bungie is Nerfing Gjallarhorn!!! These Cunts will Rot in HELL!!!!(UPDATED 6/10/16)

UPDATE!!! I got a Rise of Iron Gjallarhorn and it is sick as FUCK!!! The mission to get it is TIGHT?
So the fact that we had to pay $30 to get Gjallarhorn back is mitigated by the facty that it is included in some sick content.  I have played almost all the quest and done 3/4 of the Raid. I have a final Boss checkpoint and all weeekend to finish it. Looking good to get the raid done in month  one.

UPDATE!!!!:  Bungie is giving us the Gjallarhorn back at FULL POWER!!!!! YES!!! For..................THIRTY U.S. DOLLARS!!!   So Basically Bungie is extorting us $30 to upgrade a weapon we ALREADY HAVE!!!    RISE of IRON Expansion is $30. Ok we get a new Raid, but damn infusing the G-horn should be free..  FUCK BUNGIE.

New Axe weapon is a relic like Crota's Sword.

Ballerhorns for everybody!!! As long as you're sucker enough to pay up!!!!

Yeah it's back, after they rob you for $30.

UPDATE: I called it!!  In a turn of events that's not shocking to me at all,  Bungie has announced that Gjallarhorn can NOT be Upgraded or Ascended to the max damage value of The Taken King.  This CONFIRMS that they are rendering Gjallarhorn virtually USELESS and obsolete in the Taken King Expansion and all subsequent expansions.  Kind of convenient that they waited to announce this after they have your preorder dollars, huh?   Well, Bungie can eat Shit.  I'm getting "The Taken King " expansion used on disc , so Bungie gets NONE of  my money.   I'm skipping the subsequent Vex and Cabal expansions , because lets face it, they are just glorified theme parks we reused assets that offer very little story.  They may have some light backstory for one isolated incident the DLC covers but that's it.  No info on "The Stranger" , no new progress towards recovery or insight on the Traveller.

Who is this chick?  What doesn't she have time to explain?  Wait five years to find out

                                It has dawned on me that Bungie has NO INTENTION of adding Ship to ship combat for this game anytime soon.  They are just going to keep rationing out meager content at overpriced rates.   Bungie has a 10 year plan for Destiny.   That means I might as well quit playing for FIVE YEARS and come back when this game is half way worthwhile and better fleshed out.

"Story"  in a game is supposed to inform
and entertain, the Grimoires only do the former,
thus making them a failure. 

Want the Traveller to wake up and play an active role in the story?  Don't hold your breath.

Don't Fuck With Our Gjallarhorn

Lets see, on top of Luke Smith being an arrogant prick In the Eurogamer interview about putting Exclusive DlC behind a paywall, on Top of Bungie forcing people to buy $5 cans of Redbull to get DLC, These ASSHOLES at Bungie have the FUCKING NERVE to nerf Gjallarhorn in the Taken King.  

Behold ,Excalibur.

      There are millions of detractors of Destiny. "There's no story, its repetitive.  Its Boring, it hides content you should have gotten in the box behind DLC Paywallls". You've heard it all before.  I've always defended the game because I could see the method to their madness.  They took the dev time and budget they could have wasted on pointless cutscenes , and put it into developing some of the most epic Exotic Weapons ever seen in a FPS.   What made Destiny stand head and shoulders above its predecessors and peers (including Halo) was the extraordinary , unique,  genius-designed Exotic weapons that made you a god among men. That, and the leveling system, the consumables that facilitated leveling, made this game the single success story in -post game content.   What I mean by post game content is the compelling initiative this game gives you to continue playing PVE after beating the main story.

Packing Heat.

         
          There are hundreds of open world games, after completing story mode, you have the option to continue playing PVE after completing the story.  However none of them , Grand Theft Auto included, ever really compelled me to do so.  The world seemed empty after completing the main game and continuing to play seemed pointless.  Not even the Achievement/Trophy system implemented last generation ever compelled me continue playing PVE after the main story.  The world just seemed dead.

          Destiny was the first open world game to break that trend.  Part of that was the endless hunt for Exotic weapons.  The Raids, those ultimate challenges were an impetus for you to seek those exotics so you could complete the end-game content easier.  

    Now lets get down to Gjallarhorn a formidable weapon to be sure, but it DOES NOT GUARANTEE VICTORY IN the RAIDS.  It's a damn good Rocket Launcher, THE best, with Hunger of Crota a distant second.  Still you have to have skill to use it.  It does more damage , so perhaps you'll be able to beat a Raid Boss in 15 minutes instead of 30.   Still within that 15 minutes, ANYTHING can happen.   You can get killed, somebody can fuck up and drop the relic,  Crota can get enraged, Somebody might not get cleansed of the Oracles Mark and get you all killed in the Ritual of Negation.

This is the twat rag son of a bitch who pulled the trigger on Nerfing Gjallarhorn, Bungie Destiny Weapon Designer, Jon Wiesnewski.  Leave it to an asshole pollack to fix something that isn't broken.

        Look, lets cut the shit.  People are defending the Gjallarhorn nerf because  1) they are low self esteem having twats who kiss Bungie's ass .  2) they are casual gamer PUSSIES and don't have a Gjallarhorn.  They are jealous of Gjallarhorn Owners and want to see us nerfed.
There is another subgroup of rational thinkers who are defending it because we don't know the exact percentage Bungie is nerfing the damage of the Wolfpack Rounds.

    Some say Wolfpack rounds will be nerfed 10%.  That is an optimistic, asshole assumption.  Look, Bungie sucks at Boss design.  People destroyed Skolas in record time with Gjallarhorn.  Rather than step their game up and design better Bosses with more intelligent AI and Movesets, Bungie wants to design the same static, slow moving Bullet sponge asshole bosses.  To slow us down from killing these boring pieces of shit,  They are nerfing Gjallarhorn.   That faggot David Dague "Deej"  of Bungie Public Relations was talking shit about the Gjallarhorn nerf .   He said he (and Bungie) "want
you to explore other options [other than  Gjallarhorn] to kill Raid bosses"    .  That said , a 10% reduction in Wolfpack rounds would NOT make Hunger of Crota a valid substitute , Nor would the Truth be a valid substitute to Gjallarhorn, and DEFINITELY not the Dragon's Breath Launcher.

You can Nerf my Gjallarhorn after you pry it from my cold, dead hands!

   

          This fucking PUSSYHOLE "Deej" (isn't "Deej" the name of the eldest daughter in "Full House" ?  What a faggot!!!  )  went on to say " We have a ten year plan for Destiny, and our ten year plan was not for you to shoot aliens for ten years with your Gjallarhorn"  Hey you fat pudgey  ASSHOLE, what fucking business it it of yours what fucking weapons we use?  Why do you fucking want to fuck up the only good thing you put in this game?  The Exotics are this games saving grace.   It's one of the few things that counters that old " People still play Destiny?" comment you see after every Destiny news story.  That said, there are SEVERAL exotics that are pieces of shit, and need to be buffed.   TRUTH, DRAGONS BREATH, MONTE CARLO, No LAND BEYOND,  NECROCASM.  (Necrocasm needs more than that bullshit perk adjustment, it needs to be redesigned from the ground up with Higher impact and a medium Fire rate, more damage per second).

Deej, Community Manager Fat Fuck Faggot

   












Going forward, what are these assholes going to do; add useful content like Ship to ship space combat, new planets, player owned and built bases planetside, or are they just going to keep fucking with weapons that are already popular and functioning, thus taking two steps backward?

If it's the latter, count me fucking out.  As it is , I'm getting the Taken King Used on Disc,so Bungie gets NONE of my money.  Vote with your wallets guys. We don't have to take this shit.  These assholes don't get to play God and dictate to us how we are supposed to play the game. Fuck them, we pay their salary!!! If they want to play God, we should play God  as well.  Push forward the initiative to JAILBREAK PLAYSTATION 4.   We will hack the game and undo all the fuck ups these assholes are trying to force on us.  It's a Meta-game for me now, how can I break the game and give Bungie the digital middle finger!?!?!?   The War to Hack Destiny has Begun!!!

Look a Gjallarhorn cake.  Eat up, the party is over, Guardians.

SHENMUE III is Coming Back!! Like the Phoenix from the ASHES!!! Support The SHENMUE III KICKSTARTER!!!

 Man I love being right.  Shenmue easter eggs were in the Japanese Playstation 4 debut video. In GDC 2013 Mark Cerny took a pic with Yu Suzuki and the photographer SAID they were discussing Shenmue III funding.  Mark Cerny did the translating for Yu Suzuki's Shenmue postmortem at GDC 2014.   Dead giveaway.   People said that was just a coincidence . Those people are morons.

 Fast forward to June 2015, and Shenmue 3 is announced for PS4.   Hate to say I told you so, on this very blog, but I did.   This is surreal.  I remember when Shenmue  was a prototype, and described as a Virtua Fighter RPG during the Dreamcast debut.  When it evolved from that , to the game I finally got to play, I was blown away.  When I played Shenmue for the first time , it was surreal. After all the hype and the concept pitches, plus Yu Suzuki's Virtua Fighter Pedigree, I couldn't believe I was actually playing it finally.

     Few games have evoked that kind of response in me, that surreal feeling. the first Metal Gear Solid, Virtua Fighter 3  (all the hype behind that, the 1 million polygons,  and the final product was unbelievable), Grand Theft Auto 3,  and definitely the Metal Gear Solid 4 Demo that came with the Anniversary disc.
  I've been playing video games since Pac-Man in the arcades, its hard to elicit that reaction of amazement out of me.

     I'm just glad Yu Suzuki didn't just give up on making Shenmue 3.  Look it's been 14 years.  The average person would've given up and become a used car salsesman by now.  He could have grown bitter, and be completely unwilling to make a Shenmue III after all this time.  We are lucky.

Great games like this are few and far between.

I rebroadcasted the Shenmue III Q&A in case you missed it.

Here's my Shenmue 3 reaction video:

  ****Technical Update**** I just came up with another theory as to why the sound was off: I was using a USB extension cable for the camera.  The audio degradation could be a combination of the low integrity of the extension cable, and the extension cable's close proximity to TOO MANY OTHER cables coming from my PC.

    Often when cables get bunched up together, Electromagnetic interference damages the signal.  Notice the reddish tone to my skin in the video? That shouldn't be, because the camera's setting were set to default.  I noticed on my PC screen's display that my skin color would fluctuate between that reddish color and my actual skin tone at random.  I thought it was a ram or processing problem that would stabilize.  In hindsight , I think it was actually electromagnetic interference degrading the audio AND video signal.

I usually don't have sound issues with my videos.  This is a new setup to accommodate the green screen.  A few more days of troubleshooting could have resolved this, but I was pressed for time as the Shenmue Kickstarter only has a couple  weeks left.  Time was of the essence to get this finished and published.

*****Technical Update 2******
I just ran some tests, and the Noise cancellation feature of "Live Central " recording software actually worsens the sound instead of improving it: It was enhancing that"muffling effect" I was hearing in my voice.  I'll make sure that is OFF in the future.

Pepsolman: Fraud Among Frauds

  It has come to my attention that their is a video of Pepsolman beating me in FS.  It is a fake.  IE this dumbass customized El Blaze to look like mine, went into vs mode with his little brother, beat the fake EL Blaze  and saved the match and uploaded it to Youtube.

   Now let me run a timeline for you.

1) Late March 2013.  I kicked the shit out of Anonymous scrub Pepsolman (easily) and recorded the LOL match with my iPhone and uploaded it.

2) Early April 2013.  I get a message from Youtube saying I have an invasion of Privacy Claim from one said nobody : Pepsolman.   Apparently me uploaded A win screen with his Gamer Tag in the loser column is an invasion of Privacy.  Not only do I send him a Youtube message telling him to FUCK OFF, but I re-record the video just in case Youtube decides to take it down.

3) April 22 Sega Cup.  Post Sega cup I'm checking my emails in Long Beach Airport. I get an e-mail saying someone has been trying to hack into their servers to get my Youtube password and login.  I change my password. #1 person of interest in this Cyber Crime is this little Queer Pepsolman.

4) Late April/Early May 2013.  Pepsolman joins VFDC , and post some video of him beating me in FS.  By this point I don't even remember losing a match to this Asshole.   It's so long ago I couldn't remember clearly.  I found it suspicious he didn't have a win Screen with my Gamertag posted.  I LOLed at the Windows-Voice app he was using.  It was so fucked up an annoying I couldn't watch past halfway through the first round.

5)  Sept 2014:   My Spies brought to my attention that Katabama-Hindu-Boy or whatever his name is was posting that BS Pepsolman vid in the shoutbox.  Now, I looked at this crap video.  THAT SHIT IS A FAKE.  One that shit doesn't have my Gamertag anywhere .  Two, that EL Blaze doesn't play like me at ALL.  It looks like somebody who never played El Blaze in their life.

                                                That brings to where we  are here.  That shit is a total Fake, a desperate, pathetic attempt to save face, after making false claims to Youtube and trying to hack youtube itself have failed.   That is fucking pitiful.  Really its apt, because if this dude is using Windows-Voice to speak, he must be mentally handicapped.  The first time I saw that crap, I felt sorry for the dude, so I really didn't go hard trolling him after that. I draw the line somewhere and picking on a mental cripple is it.  I equate that to pushing an old lady down a flight of stairs.

       As for the video, I actually watched that garbage (with the sound off That Robo-Voice is too annoying).   That's DEFINITELY not me.  One he doesn't use ANY of the El Blaze moves I favor using.  You dont see me using the rocket discharge, the low drop kick, the Venus Roll Upper-cut/Kick combo. Nothing.  If that was actually me , you would see me using Back crouch dash to buffer into Shadow Hammer.  I basically play EL Blaze the same way I did in Vanilla. A staple of my Vanilla set ups is to suppress opponents with repeated 14 frame elbows to set them  up for a throw.     Ignoring all that, that EL Blaze DOESN'T BLOCK ONCE IN THE ENTIRE VIDEO.  I suspected that shit was a fake in the first place, actually watching it confirmed it.  Whatever, the dude has Cerebral Palsy or some shit, so I'll just leave him alone.

         

              Right before Sega Cup  Raziel and I took turns kicking his ass in Room Matches.  That is me with my name clearly posted http://www.twitch.tv/godokunodan999/c/3677840. He stole 1 and only 1 match against me while I was using my day-1 Lion.  Even then, it went to 5 rounds, and in the third round I could have easily finished him: He rushed in with a lunging Kick, which I evaded. He's at -13, I could have easily launched his n00b ass. Not being adept with Lion I slipped up and did 1pp, in a failed input I was going for 41236P to combo.  I could have launched him. Watching that shit you see the mistake, I was playing him like he's a real player.  You have to play a scrub like he's a scrub.  In Round 4 he won the round doing some 2p spam.  Garbage.  I should have just elbowed that n00b into OBLIVION.  Just n00bify his n00b ass.  Being just my Day-1 Lion, I was using minimal damage combos instead of max damage combos otherwise I could have shut him down 3-0 rounds.  Mastering FS Lion is on my Bucket list.
\
       N00bify is what I do when besting the shit out of a scrub with tactics and moves a real player would easily counter or avoid.   He sucks .  The dude is beneath contempt.  When I switched to Vanessa he got FUCKING DESTROYED REPEATEDLY and left the room in frustration.
