The latest game in Ubisoft's signature series, Assassin’s Creed Origins , is included at 40% off regular price. Set in Egypt, the 2017 game of the year contending stealth title offered up a new combat system and role-playing game elements that helped freshen up the long-running series. Other major games seeing notable discounts include Destiny 2 , Divinity , EA Sports UFC 3 , and many m

 
Curse of Osiris comes on the heels of Bungie suffering overwhelming backlash for rigging Destiny 2 's XP system , with regard to players earning Bright Engrams post-Level 20, thus forcing them to " fix " the system. But they failed to mention if they would make it up their mistake to players by compensating them with in-game rewards that they lost out on. Unfortunately, Bungie seems to be doing the exact opposite, as they're now blocking previously available end-game content behind 

 
How interesting that this only happened after the fact but was such an easy, quick fix. And how awful for this to happen when hardcore players are already vocalizing dissatisfaction with the current state of the game. Even worse that first impressions of Destiny 2's first DLC pack (hint: its new location, Mercury, is tiny) releasing soon are not too positiv
 
Destiny 2: Forsaken is coming in early September, and carries the hopes of many long-time players on its shoulders. The expansion is Bungie's latest attempt to address the many Destiny 2 concerns the game's playerbase has with its direction, and is adding back random weapon rolls, Destiny 1 's old weapon slot system, and a new gameplay mode in the form of Gambit that are all features implemented based on the feedback the studio has gotten over Destiny 2 's first year in existe

 
In the meantime, Bungie Game Director Luke Smith took to Twitter amidst the heat of the all of this and promised information next week on updates and economy changes. The team will also be answering community questions and it's about t

 
Fans have complained loudly about Destiny 2 's lack of a solid post-game. Forsaken is designed specifically to fix that issue, and it looks like Bungie is taking the right steps. More will be known come September, but it players have a good reason to be excited again about Desti

 
Dedicated [[https://Destiny2Mix.com/|Destiny 2 updates|https://destiny2mix.com/]] 2 players discovered that Bungie was up to no good with the game's XP system which allows players to continue earning experience after reaching the max level cap of 20. By 'levelling up' beyond 20, players would earn a Bright Engram , the game's version of loot boxes. These loot boxes of course are part of the Eververse store, the hub for real money microtransactions so the rate at which that extra XP, and hence, Bright Engrams, are earned is an important part of the g

 
Bungie's reputation with gamers is hanging by a thread judging by how they've been treating their consumer base lately. And the problem is that this isn't anything new for them... or for Activision. The developer employed the same shady tactics in the first Destiny game, and they got away with it, for the most part, which is why they've brought the same mechanic back for the sequel. But now that the gaming industry is under fire for its predatory tactics, with EA bearing the brunt of the industry's consumer backlash , Bungie deciding to use the same mechanics for Destiny 2 may just tip their fan base against t

 
They're certainly not beating around the bush when it comes to the death of a fan-favorite. According to Taylor, the team always knew it was going to be Cayde, and that his death had been planned for a long while. Fans had previously datamined information regarding Cayde's death, but Barrett and Taylor said that info was actually unrelated to the Forsaken expansion. Clearly, Cayde's death wasn't just a Forsaken -only event - Bungie had been tossing the idea around for much lon

 
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

 
Additionally, the game provides Seasonal, time-limited PvP playlists – Trials of The Nine and Iron Banner. These activities and their rewards are meant to evolve each Season, and they utilize new maps, so they would require you to own the latest content. To play the latest season of Iron Banner or Trials, and earn the new rewards, players would need to own Curse of Osir

 
What's more, Heroic Strikes, which are finally making a comeback in Destiny 2 , requires consumers to purchase DLC in order to play the playlist in the sequel. Considering that the minimum Power Level for the Heroic Strikes playlist is only 270, vanilla players should be able to take part in the playlist; all Bungie needs to do is make the Curse of Osiris strikes available as a separate option. But to lock both the Heroic Strikes and the Prestige Nightfall behind the DLC is unscrupulous, to say the le
