I really enjoyed Destiny, but I didn’t play it nearly as much as you’d think I would. It has everything I want in a game: engaging gameplay, content that incentivises long term play, and a satisfying (and frustrating, at times) gear grind. The main reason I didn’t play it more than I did, however, was that there was no way for me to play with my partner. There’s very little reason to own two Playstation 4’s, and with no cross-platform servers I was unable to play a game I enjoyed with my favorite person. When I heard the announcement of Destiny 2 on PC, I was extremely excited. It seems from initial reports that this will be no simple port from the console versions. Graphically, it blows the two consoles out of the water and brings true meaning to the phrase “PC Master Race.”
The announcement of Destiny 2 on PC was exciting, but there’s now news that the PC version of the shooter-turned-mmo will arrive later than the console version. This leaves a good portion of the fan base understandably upset, as they’ll have to wait a decent amount of time to be able to play the game on their platform of choice (Let’s just hope the wait isn’t too long). As reported by PCgamer, Destiny 2 director assured fans that a desire for top-notch quality was at the forefront of the decision to delay the PC release:
“We’re not committed to a PC date yet, but at Bungie we’re totally committed to making a PC build as great as we can…Our partnership with Blizzard and being on Battle.net, we want to make sure that this version of the game has the time it needs to bake in the oven so it’s a delicious piece of bread when it comes out.”
The commitment to quality really shows in the initial gameplay reveal of Destiny 2 on PC. The gameplay settings were locked on medium, but the graphics blew the console versions out of the water. There’s no doubt playing the game on max settings will push your rig to its limits, but if you have the hardware, Destiny 2 on PC will deliver.
The game runs with an uncapped framerate at a 4k resolution, and there was a noticeable disparity in fog and view distance when comparing Destiny 2 on PC with the console versions. For those looking for the best graphics possible, it may be worth it to wait for the eventual release on PC. as mentioned above there’s no confirmed release date, but as soon as we know we’ll publish an update with the new information. Are you guys going to buy Destiny 2 for console on release? Or will you be patient and wait for the graphically superior version on PC. Let us know in the comments below!

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games
Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.
In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.
According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.
In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!
Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Shift Up unveils the intriguing details behind the physical packaging of Stellar Blade for the PS5
It appears that many
are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.
We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.
