Of all the PS4 and Xbox One AAA titles, perhaps none is more infamous for its load times than Destiny 2 . Booting up the game is a chose on current-gen machines, and then comes loading into the planets and Tower. Considering you have to go to the Tower to collect bounties, missions and decrypt engrams, getting around Destiny 2 is a chore. While we await the proper PS5 version coming December 8, playing the game on PS5 via backwards compatibility actually isn’t so bad. Load times are dramatically lower than on PS4, making getting around less of a chore. It excites us to imagine what next-gen load times look like.

The factions, enemies, and themes of The Brightest Things We Know are clear, loving homages to the Bungie's science-fantasy FPS Destiny franchise , particularly with its emphasis on immortal champions, technology indistinguishable from magic, and alien species with strange cultures and ethics. Novel additions to the Forged In The Dark rules for The Brightest Things We Know include clever mechanics for "respawning" after death, character classes themed around constellations, and Adept Weapons a gameplay cycle that alternates between dangerous combat missions called "Strikes" and scenes of recuperation and socialization aboard the foundry-ships of human

Santa Monica Studios’ Norse-themed sequel to the classic God of War trilogy was breathtaking when it launched. With a sequel planned for PS5, many players are likely to want to replay God of War ahead of time. Load times aren’t terrible on PS4, but switching over to PS5 offers some substantial improvements, especially when booting up the game.

Our 2019 Game of the Year , Capcom’s remake of Resident Evil was an astounding addition to the PS4’s library. Despite being a linear game in a set map, Resident Evil 2 took a long time to load, especially when first booting up the game. While it didn’t reach the horrid minute mark, it always cut it too close. On PS5, the bootup time is cut in half, getting players in faster. There’s not a huge change when loading a save, but there’s at least a slight improvement.

Couple these mods with The Sixth Coyote and stacking Mobility and Hunters will almost never have an unavailable dodge or a Withering Blade cooldown, and grenades recharge swiftly due to abusing the dodge ability. This creates a relatively safe environment when adds can otherwise get out of hand in Deep Stone Crypt, or high-level Empire Hunts and Nightfalls. Weapon choice is less pivotal with this build, and being Charged With Light is also unnecessary, though, it can help in some sticky situati

As a dark fantasy RPG explicitly modeled on FromSoftware's _Dark Souls trilogy , the two main attributes of Sword & Board _ characters are "Sword," the ability to inflict destruction and violence, and "Board," the ability to shield oneself and avoid harm. One unique touch of _Sword & Board _ is the randomized dice tables in its ruleset, which allow players to randomly generate narrative goals, discover loot for their PCs, and create Boss enemies with the overly dramatic titles _Dark Souls bosses are famed

For now, though, the Rite of the Nine activity continues forward with its revised schedule and enhanced reward system. Bungie stepped into a bit of controversy with the Destiny 2 Rite of the Nine event after players accused the studio of timegating content when it was discovered that each dungeon was on a three week cycle. However, the studio quickly pivoted and announced changes to the overall schedule and made loot more plenti
