    So, I raged at Destiny 2 hard last night.

    It was just one mission, and it was horrible design.

    I'm on Nessus and get a mission to scan some data things that are on these floating platforms. Many of these floating platforms are over a bottomless drop. These floating platforms electrify intermittently. They also have enemy spawns. You have to jump between them, avoiding the electrified surface while doing these scans and being shot at. The longer it went, the angrier I became. That is bad design because you have to jump through them in order to get to the ones at the end, so if you fall off, even if you fall off over the ground and don't die, you have to start the fuck over. I was getting super pissed.

    The final enemy that I had to kill I ended up sniping from the ground and ignoring whatever drops it left because I was so tired of trying to jump through these platforms while the constant respawns would shoot me midair and knock me down.

    haha porp was still struggling with learning to jump/platform but I insisted on doing it together so we spent

    probably an hour? doing that mission. lol fun times no our marriage is fine don't ask.

    Making you start over again and again is a quick way to get me to nope out and never come back. The fact that it was just a single task and the rest of the game isn't like that got me through, but generally, if a fail state in a game makes me redo the same stuff over and over and over, I quit and never come back.

    Well yeah the Mario Galaxy thing was pretty unobtrusive. You still have full mario controller the other player can just help collect star bits or whatever. The hat in Odyssey is a HUGE part of mario's controls. It's more like SNES Mechwarrior where one person is controlling legs and the other person controlling torso.

    that nessus platform mission is really easy if everything goes right and frustrating af if not

    also some tips for it
    if you don't kill everything on a platform, the platform doesn't respawn, so basically just focus on killing the hobgoblins, harpies, and fanatics -- the goblins are mostly harmless from a distance

    have a scout rifle so you can shoot hobgoblins on platforms from far away because some of the platforms spawn before you're on that set

    damage the end hydra from the platform below and hop away while it electrifies instead of hopping up to that platform

    but also, yeah, i've run that mission at least eight times now and it basically is obnoxious at best

    It wasn't the platforming part that gave me trouble. It was the electrified surface meaning I couldn't stay on a platform to kill enemies, and the enemies shooting me knocked me down mid flight meaning I was either A) Dying on the platform when it electrified or B) Falling down when I got shot because I was trying to avoid an electrified platform.

    I haven't had any trouble jumping across chasms and stuff anywhere else. It was the circumstances of that one that was bad.

    ...I had to ask for help on this forum, because I could not figure out the last platforming sequence, because I simply could not do one of the jumps with my dumb warlock glide (turns out it was not a mandatory jump and there was an alternate route).

    I actually liked that mission, though. But I did die a lot, especially just trying that jump over and over again.

    trying to kill everything on its own platform instead of from other platforms makes things harder

    jumping in general is a bit trickier on PC, spacebar jumping just isn't as smooth as controller button jumping

    I'm on PC, but it wasn't the jumping, it was the being shot while I was jumping instantly knocking me to the ground + dying on an electrified platform if I stopped to kill enemies before I jumped.

    So, I raged at Destiny 2 hard last night.

    It was just one mission, and it was horrible design.

    I'm on Nessus and get a mission to scan some data things that are on these floating platforms. Many of these floating platforms are over a bottomless drop. These floating platforms electrify intermittently. They also have enemy spawns. You have to jump between them, avoiding the electrified surface while doing these scans and being shot at. The longer it went, the angrier I became. That is bad design because you have to jump through them in order to get to the ones at the end, so if you fall off, even if you fall off over the ground and don't die, you have to start the fuck over. I was getting super pissed.

    The final enemy that I had to kill I ended up sniping from the ground and ignoring whatever drops it left because I was so tired of trying to jump through these platforms while the constant respawns would shoot me midair and knock me down.

    ...I had to ask for help on this forum, because I could not figure out the last platforming sequence, because I simply could not do one of the jumps with my dumb warlock glide (turns out it was not a mandatory jump and there was an alternate route).

    I actually liked that mission, though. But I did die a lot, especially just trying that jump over and over again.

    it occurs to me now you might have been talking about trying to go from the very first section of three platforms to the rest of the platforms directly instead of jumping down and running around on the ground and had i realized that when you were asking, the solution would have been a lot more clear to me because for the life of me i couldn't think of a specific place where the jump itself would have been particularly difficult to land :P

    It's probably just ingrained into me at this point.

    I'm not sure that it's bad, but it's different than any jumping mechanic I've ever experienced--and in general I don't play games where you run around and jump and shoot things--so it's a new technique to learn.

    ...Also I'm still totally not done with the main story and I'm at power level 220? I feel like progression was maybe scaled for people who don't compulsively do every single sidequest. Or maybe this is as intended.

    Haha yeah, the level design is usually very nice about not making you backtrack so I figured I was supposed to directly go from one section to another. And the jump was so close to doable that it seemed possible the solution was just to git gud...

    D2 is taking ~20 hours to install, I might not have any time to try it before I go to New York

    I made a game! Hotline Maui. Requires mouse and keyboard.

    I once power-leveled a character from 1-20 by sitting on the open world section of Earth/Europe and doing public events, just to see if it will affect rewards (It does not). It did not take very long, either, since Public Events give you a butt-load of XP and I had gear waiting for me at every step of the way.

    yeah, side quests and public events speed up your leveling pretty drastically

    if you only do the main story missions, you'll hit level gates between planets
