Looks like that trailer wasn’t just for show, huh?

Bungie’s looter-shooter Destiny 2 has been crushing it this past week. From the strong slate of positive reviews to its now recorded 1.2 million concurrent users over PS4 and Xbox One. The developer reported the number on Twitter, which is very impressive for a game that’s not even a week old.

While their servers have faced some issues with connectivity, due to the number of players online, the game is on the whole very stable. Some players may have to queue to get in, to stop Bungie’s servers from actually exploding.

The game is only set to get bigger, however, when the PC release comes out in October. Personally, I found the beta a bit meh, but again, players on PC loved the extensive graphics options, customisation, FOV and the total removal of recoil. It’s a good indicator they fixed a lot of the issues that the original game was plagued with.

Destiny released in 2014 but left players wanting when it came to story and content. It’s cool that a lot of reviewers have praised the campaign, something that was notoriously screwed around in the first game.

Destiny 2 launches on 24th October for PC users and can be bought from the Blizzard app. It’s currently available on the Xbox One and the PS4.

    4/5 If you love a good theme, Las Iguanas is a restaurant you might like to try. The Latin American-style chain has restaurants all over the country, but I recently popped into the one on Grey Street just down from the Theatre Royal. As always, the restaurant itself is pristine and the atmosphere is super […]

  • Books Book Review: 1984 by George Orwell
    1/5 1984 is always cited as one of the best books ever written. It’s supposed to be intelligent, sharp and profound. Instead, I found it to be dull, rambling and unremarkable. Oh, and rampantly sexist. George Orwell was clever – I’ve read his essays and I like them. But 1984? It was hard to believe […]
