Destiny 2: The Final Shape [PS4/PS5/XB1/XBS/PC] - Y8, The Dark Age Returns

[Demosthenes]

I'm a bit salty I didn't get to farm solstice. Been burning oil on deadlines with first year of PhD coming to close.

[Serra]

...do we usually get more than one State of the Game per year? We just had one in... February?

I thought they usually released them around the annual reveals to give people an idea of what's coming, but maybe I'm misremembering.

TL;DR Titan is being taken out back and shot.

It's ok, I've long since tapped out of PVP, even iron banner which I love.

THANK YOU, COMMANDER: THE FUTURE OF ZAVALA'S JOURNEY

[Obsidian]

Keith David is a good choice, honestly.

[Qalbert]

yeah, it'll take adjustment but it's good casting

[Demosthenes]

THANK YOU, COMMANDER: THE FUTURE OF ZAVALA'S JOURNEY

Wow. I mean if you're going to replace an iconic voice, what better choice than another iconic voice. I really wanted them to give Zavala a cutscene send-off, I can't be mad at this.

[Qalbert]

yeah there were two real paths, write him out, or recast. I don't think recasting could be done any better than this.

[Demosthenes]

Confession, I thought Keith David was the voice for Zavala the first time I heard him speak.

I had no idea on many of these, but the man's done a lot.

David also works extensively as a voice actor. He was the voice of the Flame King in Adventure Time, Goliath from Gargoyles, the title character in the Spawn animated series, and Lemuel Kane in Archer. In the English dub of Princess Mononoke, David played the narrator and Okkoto. He played the role of Mama in the English dub of 3x3 Eyes. He provided the voice for the character Decker in the role-playing video game Fallout and the voice for the character Vhailor in Planescape: Torment. He provided the voice of the Arbiter for the video game Halo 2, released in 2004; later, he reprised that role in the Xbox 360 follow-up Halo 3. He portrayed the character again in Halo: The Master Chief Collection and also in Halo 5: Guardians, released in 2014 and 2015 respectively. He played the role of Captain David Anderson in BioWare's Mass Effect series.

David did voice work in the video game Saints Row and its sequel Saints Row II, playing gang leader of the 3rd Street Saints Julius Little, as well as voicing himself in Saints Row IV. He is also heard on the intro of several Ice Cube projects, including Westside Connection's 2003 release Terrorist Threats, Cube's 2008 solo album Raw Footage, Cube's 2010 solo album I Am the West, and he narrated the documentary Beef II, which also featured Ice Cube.[citation needed]

He provides the voice for the UPS "What Can Brown Do for You" commercials. He did the voice of Despero in the two part episode "Hearts and Minds" of Justice League. He has done voice work for early Adult Swim commercials for Inuyasha.[11]

They're really coming apart at the seams right now.

[Serra]

I wish I wasn't so checked out on destiny and cared more about this stuff, but at this point, let me make it to the final shape and see how things wrap up.

[Demosthenes]

I guess I'd be the worst person to ever run a studio. "Oh they're complaining and making 20 million threads? Good for them. Anyway, lets keep making the game we wanna make."

[Karbuncle]

With that attitude you'd not have to worry about 20 million complaints, you'd have a Reddit with an average post of 1 a month and a user count of about 2-300 people who check it to see what burns down next .

[Demosthenes]

Like I said, I'd be the worst. I still stand by the idea that kowtowing to communities is mostly stupid though.

Wicked Implement - We took a conservative approach with this Scout Rifle out of the gate. We wanted to avoid creating a lousy experience for those on the receiving end of a long-range Primary weapon with the ability to slow targets in PvP. Now that it's spent some time in the live game, we can give its intrinsic perk more uptime by making it easier to keep active. We also improved its utility by providing more opportunities to generate Stasis shards. With Headstone added to the catalyst and the ability to create tracking shards from destroying Stasis crystals, you can keep your mag full and your powered melee up more easily. Shard generation will continue to have a brief cooldown, as with all other shard sources.
The timing window for Creeping Attrition has been increased from 3.5 seconds to 4.5 seconds.
You can now also active Tithing Harvest by destroying Stasis crystals.
The Wicked Implement Exotic catalyst now also includes the Headstone perk.
