Destiny 2 free on PlayStation this month, so dicking around

It’s Halo campaign mode as Diablo, dunno who was asking for that

(Borderlands, in contrast, was World of Warcraft as Smash TV, that’s totally reasonable)

I know Bungie likes to reuse thematic and visual elements – several Halo weapon models have been getting steadily more hi-res each release since 1994’s Marathon, and there’ll inevitably be a trilogy where your AI companion Joyeux goes rampant in the end – but jeez it gets a little tiresome

One of the races that had a distinct design was the Hive, the one that thematically took the place of Halo’s Flood, but even then they managed to simultaneously invoke several vidya alien enemies - Doom’s imps, Metroid’s Chozo, even Area 51’s aliens and… oh, get close and they’ve got Pfhor tri-eyes from Marathon
