To be honest Touch of Malice is not worth it...
It's only usable at Oryx raid and only in 2 encounters (when You are immortal in aura).
Maybe it will be more usefull at heroic version of raid, but now it's nothing special about it.

I think the best exotic so far is Black Spindle, and I think all exotics should be like that. Really hard to get but when You have it, You rock at DPS :)

ChronoJoe3507d ago

It's not even worth it then, as even with the damage buff it's still out DPSed by high impact snipers like the Black Spindle or 1000 Yard Stare.

Not really, use Malice in the aura on Oryx, use a 1000 yard stare for ogres and LMG on the shade. Makes ammo management brainless and trivialises any DPS check.

Really frustrating that the Rabbit is so decent, the PS exclusivity deal isn't helping balance of the game between formats.

I mean it is awesome but there are so many good scout rifles, so it is hard to use it in the exotic slot. Especially when Telesto and Spindle are so good.

Patricko3506d ago (Edited 3506d ago )

So far, the Scout Rifle from Dead Orbit (Hungry Jury?) is the best Scour for me. The persk (Firefly) are the best for PVE. Even the scout from raid can't be compared to it.

maybelovehate3506d ago (Edited 3506d ago )

Yep, the Dead Orbit Scout Rifle is maybe the best gun in the game haha. So good, triple tap with maxed stability make it almost unfair.

As for the Scout from the Raid.. I am very disappointed in it. Not a fan. Hopefully the harder modes will have better weapons.

maybelovehate3507d ago

Telesto is my new favorite weapon. Orb making beast!

WellyUK3507d ago

How is Hereafter on this list? That gun is awful... It's buffs are useless as well.

NyanCat3504d ago (Edited 3504d ago )

I really want The Jade Rabbit! I find enjoyment in doing patrol while I wait for friend to come on. Also, it looks awesome for wave clears on different raids!

The Destiny Franchise is at its Brightest When Embracing its Darkness

Here, Twinfinite is writing that Destiny, despite being a T rated franchise, is full of dark and brooding moments that showcase the best of the team's narrative potential. They further write that, while Destiny 2 has not delivered as much as it should have on this front, Forsaken appears to be the big step that it needs to return to its greatest moments.

Press Start: Going flawless in Destiny 2 isn't quite as sweet

Gazette gaming columnist Jake Magee's lack of skill at Destiny is what made going flawless in Trials of Osiris more than a year ago taste so sweet. The feeling wasn't as great when he did the same in Destiny 2 last week, he writes.

Press Start: Destiny 2 is cooperative shooting bliss

Destiny 2 is the franchise at its best. With an engaging story, more cooperative activities and better competitive play, Destiny has never felt tighter, more satisfying or more addicting, Gazette gaming columnist Jake Magee writes.

you can tell these reviewers spent no time in the 1st destiny

The_KELRaTH2789d ago

I wonder if they'll re-review it after completing the 12hr campaign and levelled up to 265

Phoxel2789d ago

I wrote this review after beating the campaign, reaching 273 power, completing two of the three exotic quests, completing every adventure, playing plenty of Crucible, and much more.

Hi, I wrote this review. I logged 32 days in Destiny 1.

DELTABOY042782d ago

how is destiny 2 a 9.5 while missing many features from the first game, weapon balance issues, lack luster exotics, boring strikes, and no dedicated servers..i like the game a lot for what it offers..but its no where near a 9.5..closer to a 7.5..they didnt add enough for this to even feel like a proper sequel
