| According to Activision, WWII — which broke the company's record for biggest console digital launch — was the year's bestselling console game in North America, extending Call of Duty 's historical dominance. " Call of Duty has been the #1 top grossing console gaming franchise in North America for a staggering nine years in a row," the press release said, noting that the metric is based on revenue. Activision also shared good news about Destiny 2 , which came in at number two, saying that the game has outsold the original Destiny . The press release rounded out with a nod to the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy , which has become the "top selling remastered collection in PS4 histo | Now that Cayde is officially dead, it will be interesting to see how the Destiny 2 playerbase responds. Cayde was always a polarizing character who had just as many vocal detractors as he had supporters, and the event has people buzzing. If the aim of Destiny 2: Forsaken is to make things darker while also attracting some lapsed players back into the fold, it appears Bungie has found the right mix of intrigue and outrage to do so. Whether or not the expansion can actually retain its players is a whole other argument, but it's one that will have to be had on another day - and without Cayde-6, who likely would have had something very witty to say regarding the whole th |

| While Creutz's analysis cannot be disputed, his speculations on the future seem overly optimistic. While Electronic Arts has stepped back its efforts to push loot-crates in Star Wars: Battlefront II , it is still planning to reactivate the feature at some point following retooling. While there's a chance that stockholders may put their foot down regarding the predatory practice of making microtransactions an unavoidable part of video games, it seems unlikely so long as there are still gamers willing to pay more for bonus cont | That means for two+ months since Destiny 2 has launched the game has been robbing players of a massive amount of in-game earnings that otherwise have a real-world value since they're being sold. And Bungie had it running this way without indicating anywhere that this was the case. Sketchy? |

| The Dragon's Shadow (costs 23 Legendary Shards) is an exotic Hunter class chest armor that's constructed out of wraithmetal mail and "grants movement and weapon handling speed for a short time after dodging," which should come especially handy during PvP matches, considering Hunters do a fair amount of dodging in competitive. Also, Hunters who use a Void subclass will have their class abilities recharge faster - and the ability can stack up to 3 ti | In the interview, [[https://destiny2mix.com/|destiny2mix.com]] conducted by Eurogamer , Barrett and Taylor were asked about the decision leading up to Cayde-6's death . The duo explained that the character is known for his witty one-liners and campy behavior even in the face of death, and that Destiny 2 : Forsaken is Bungie's earnest attempt to steer the series away from that action-hero trope. The studio is hoping the expansion will set a darker tone for a series that grapples with a lot of big, brooding questions, and it appears Cayde-6 was a necessary fatality to ensure that the Guardians' nadir was successfully reached. When asked if Cayde-6 was really dead or dead "like in a superhero movie," Taylor said, "No, he's definitely de |

| Destiny 2 has spent the bulk of the past few months gearing up for the release of the Warmind DLC, which releases today. The expansion content will follow the journey of a Guardian named Ana Bray as she attempts to uncover a mystery in the polar ice caps. The story will eventually lead to the unveiling of the AI Rasputin, a key figure in Destiny lore. It's a huge moment for Destiny 2 , and will coincide with the game's entry into Season 3 of its content, which will provide updates to various equipment, PS4 exclusive PvE content, and m | Not that the standard version of the raid is not challenging enough, but the leveled-up iteration offers a little bit more for those seeking an even more hardcore Destiny 2 gameplay. And of course, the new mode also comes with a slew of some nifty new things that should make the Prestige raid more enticing for players. Bungie has already said that they do not expect everyone to clear out the level. However, these goodies might just give gamers the extra motivation they need to succeed in what would be their latest endea |

| Activision has announced that Call of Duty: WWII and Desti ny 2 are North America's best-selling console games of 2017. The games were two of the publisher's flagship titles for the year, and have performed exceptionally well, with WWII bringing in more than $1 billion worldwide since its release in early Novem | Since this aspect of the game is how Bungie and publisher Activision are milking extra cash from players they have likely designed the game to encourage players to pay more, and they did this by slowing down XP earning rates behind-the-scenes. That was an intentional design choice and arguably a misleading one. Instead of the levelling progress bar filling out at a normal rate, players rigorously tested and discovered that Destiny 2 was cutting the amount of XP earned for activities completed closer together substantially, even up to 95% in one insta |
