Yesterday, I wrote about a significant difference between Borderlands 3 and Destiny 2, two of the big booty shooters this fall will certainly come into conflict to a certain extent. Borderlands 3, I argued, managed to double some of his abilities, weapons and RPG elements because unlike Destiny 2it does not have a central PvP mode. Which is true, and I appreciated some of the Borderlands 3Potential trees and active abilities. But it is also important to see the forest for the trees here. And the reality is that Destiny 2 There is nothing to fear from Borderlands 3.

There are a lot of reasons for that. The first is that Destiny 2 is quite resilient at the moment: it is well placed after making the necessary adjustments over the last year, and it has made great strides forward with the structural changes – free play, cross-save – and the gameplay changes as armor 2.0. He has a ton of players who are deeply engaged in the game and excited about what will happen next, and it will be very difficult to get people away from this game.

On top of that, neither the general rhythm of Borderlands 3 neither his play moment by moment really hold a candle to Destiny 2: Borderlands There may be interesting RRG elements, but these have a cost for the basic action game that is at the heart of Destiny 2 charm. Shot in Destiny 2 is always catchy, responsive, heavy and fun, with. Shot in Borderlands 3 has a lot to like, but it's not nearly as tight as in Bungie's game, and the mechanics of RPGs means you're constantly overestimated or underestimated for a given encounter, which can ruin the design of the game. fight in a jiffy.

Borderlands 3 what you might call a distinctive writing style, the kind of writing style that some people like but that some people will find incredibly boring. In another game, this could be a minor stumbling block inside a larger experience. But Borderlands 3 would like to start any particular style of writing at any time, whether by random barking, constant chatting mission or by one of the two omni-present joke delivery systems. It is somewhat less widespread than in Borderlands 2, and yet, this is absolutely inevitable, as central in the experience as writing a series like Uncharted. If I give the choice between two mechanically satisfying shooters, one of whom launches me ridiculously, every ten seconds or so and the other who does not, I will choose the one who do not do it. t.

Destiny 2 seems to have an old player other games, although it is difficult to find accurate information. But I have the feeling that there are a lot of long-time Bungie fans in the group and a lot of older professionals with families and others. And it's the kind of players that it would be difficult to imagine leaving for the world of Borderlands 3 in mass.

So no, I do not see Borderlands 3 to make a dent in Destiny 2 player base, and certainly not enough to compensate for what is doomed to a major expansion when the game becomes a free game. I imagine a lot of Destiny 2 the players will check the thing and maybe make their way through the countryside. But they will be long at the end Shadow guard is released on October 31st.
