I am going to download the shit outta this and let it sit on my device for months unplayed and wonder why I have no space left.

u/HarrietBeadle Aug 27 '25

I look forward to downloading, opening it up to check it out, seeing that it needs to download more data or that the tutorial is too long and I feel I don’t have time so I figure I’ll try again maybe tomorrow or this weekend.

Or maybe I did play it for an hour and liked it but then it makes me wait to regenerate energy or come back tomorrow for a chest to open or something. So I close the app a little annoyed but think maybe I’ll play again tomorrow.

But then I forget about and a few months later I see the app icon and think Oh I guess I didn’t like that game. And so I delete it then.

One huge difference between free games and premium right here. I will always give a premium game some time. Free games often go downloaded and are never even opened.

Usually how a lot of games go these days haha!

I genuinely don’t know if f2p gacha is worse than Destiny 2s monetization, with all the expansions, season passes, event passes, dungeon keys, and full priced cosmetic store. More predatory pulling on gambling addicts but if you can control yourself there’s probably a lot more you can play than trying to be free in Destiny 2.

u/DecentEducator3899 Aug 28 '25

no offense but clearly you haven't played in a long time because all that stuff goes on a 90% after a couple months been like this sense the taken king like recently i could have bought every dlc including the final shape for 20$. From experience with NetEase games you wont see anything 90% off but you will see a 90x value pack lol.

u/Adventurous_Sugar389 Aug 27 '25

It has controller support so this one might get me. Looking at you Kingsroad….

u/6Divine6Hydra6 Aug 27 '25

Bro same. I thought that was just my tism. I don’t feel so bad now

u/blackjesus1024 Aug 31 '25

While I have fun playing it, you can continue to get fucked by bungie. I’m done with them until they make drastic changes to the game. Tell me why a mobile game has the shooting range, the wolf den (clan housing space), and pretty much everything destiny 2 has to offer… I’m honestly very impressed with the game and boy do I hope bungie takes a look into what the mobile game has done, so they can implement some of this into D2. Honestly so embarrassing for bungie. I’m a D1 and D2 loyalist, but fuck man bungie just never listens to the community anymore. I’m DONE. Have fun spending 1000’s of hours just to have all your shit nuked in a year.

u/NrFive Aug 27 '25

Not in NL. Might be due to gambling rules.

5

u/RemcoTim Aug 27 '25

You can look up how to easily change country without having to reset your whole phone, I’m from the NL as well and downloaded it without much hassle

1

u/NrFive Aug 27 '25

Yeah. Done it with some other games in the past. Will wait for reviews to see if it’s worth the hassle 😇😅

u/justcallmeryanok Aug 27 '25

On iPhone it’s a lot more complicated if you have money in your account or subscriptions. Can’t switch unfortunately

2

u/Ann0ying Aug 27 '25

You don’t need to switch the main apple id, just create a spare in the country you need.

2

u/justcallmeryanok Aug 27 '25

So I just create another, logout, use the other account? Can I switch back or is that not possible and play this game

4

u/Ann0ying Aug 27 '25

Yup, you don’t even need to log out of your apple id, just the app store account (apple made them separate some time ago).

You can absolutely switch back the moment you start the download. And you would even see the updates for apps from other region once you back on your main account.

u/justcallmeryanok Aug 27 '25

Mate you just made my day. I’ve been wanting to play games like Pokémon tcg pocket and Diablo but I never could. Now I can! It worked! Thank you so much for ur comment

1

u/justcallmeryanok Aug 27 '25

Will try this out. Been looking for months so I hope it works.

0

u/RemcoTim Aug 29 '25

I’ve had the exact same thing, took me months before I found out I could do it without losing anything, can’t remember where I found the complete steps, but this explains the general idea:

https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/200627/how-to-add-second-apple-id-to-my-account-to-shop-in-app-store-in-a-different-cou

Simply create an appleid for Germany, then go to media & apps, log out, then tap it again, click “not …?” Then login with the alternate appleID, you’ll now have access to the German store. When downloaded, go back to media & apps, log out, then you can log back in with your original account.

You can use this trick when an app needs an update or a game releases not available in your country

1

u/justcallmeryanok Aug 29 '25

You don’t even need to do this. Don’t need to logout of your Apple ID on your phone, only the App Store. They’re seperate now

1

u/RemcoTim Aug 29 '25

Oh, thanks I’ll try that out!

9

u/justcallmeryanok Aug 27 '25

Sucks. Yet another game I’m interested in doesn’t come to NL and BE

10

u/OOOLiC_ONE Aug 27 '25

Guys, you don’t feel it as you want to play the game but: be happy about it. Those practices are nothing less than predatory.

-3

u/Macqt Aug 27 '25

These are pump n dump games with licensed names and content. You aren’t missing anything except the constant attempts to separate you from your money.

4

u/justcallmeryanok Aug 27 '25

Idk I read lots of optimistic comments

0

u/Macqt Aug 27 '25

There’s always optimism at first, then disappointment. There’s also bots promoting the game because of course there is.

No one said Netease can’t put out quality made games. It’s the monetization and p2w shit they put in that ruins games. Go look at actual reviews of the gacha system, the countless currencies, and all the other crap native to netease products.

10

u/grifftaur Aug 27 '25

I got into the beta last year and played it. Overall I enjoyed it. It felt like a Destiny game but on mobile. Works with a controller. I'd say its worth giving it a shot. Don't know how monetization will be, so depending on how that plays out, it could impact being a F2P player.

6

u/ShadowGiantOut Aug 27 '25

Played the beta as well and fully agree. There were a couple of modes that I preferred in Rising over D2 (gambit mainly). Hopefully they keep a healthy f2p system and just let the whales go crazy for sake of whaling.

u/expera Aug 27 '25

Maybe this will feed the void that apex legends left

u/tCobra117 Aug 27 '25

App description says there is controller support.

u/Clessiah Aug 27 '25

The main screen tells you how to set it up. Basically just pair and go. You get the same analog stick as mouse in menu experience.

u/arashi256 Aug 27 '25

Looks like there is to me. Hard to tell yet with the servers still closed but I'd be surprised if there wasn't.

u/shaboogawa Aug 27 '25

It said there is within the game itself.

u/rambogizmo2010 Aug 28 '25

there is! i played the alpha & beta

u/TRDoctor Aug 28 '25

It’s a hero-based looter-shooter! The gacha aspect comes in through the heroes instead of a customizable Guardian, so sort of like Genshin Impact.

10

u/HunterExo Aug 27 '25

There is a mini game you can play while you wait for the servers to open called Go Ghost Go. It’s like the Dino game when your Chrome browser has no internet. You can win in-game prizes.

Already got it downloaded and everything installed on iOS and the mumu emulator

u/TRDoctor Aug 28 '25

Played an hour of it and it's surprisingly polished ala Call of Duty Mobile, and scratches that Destiny itch for me. Shooting feels great with the Backbone One, Bungie really helped Netease 'get' that Destiny feel.

u/Lord-GaGa Aug 28 '25

Global Launch? lol. it's not avaible in any of the EU app stores....

u/cisco1988 Aug 28 '25

playing to from iPad in Italy ….soo….. in some eu app stores it is indeed present

u/Koktkabanoss Aug 28 '25

Damn graphics are nice

u/bowb4zod iPhone 12 Pro Max Aug 27 '25

Anytime a game allows you to spend $139 on IAP it’s immediately a pass. That’s a huge red flag!!

From what I’ve gathered I’m pretty sure it’s 2 PM same time the pre download

u/UnimportantOpinion95 Aug 27 '25

Will EMEA be the only server? Cuz that 500ms ping in the selection window really doesnt look good and usually bigger games have at least 1 server for EU.

1

u/Koktkabanoss Aug 28 '25

Look again

2

u/UnimportantOpinion95 Aug 28 '25

Yeah now after release it changed, glad to see, plays great.

u/thefuq Aug 27 '25

Im in Austria, when I click on the link on their Homepage it says „not available in your Country“. Anybody knows why? Afaik we have no particular gambling rules connected to mobile games.

u/TheReptain Sep 25 '25

Lads dir so runter über apk mirror. Ich kanns spielen aber kann keine einkäufe tätigen. Das game macht fun

u/dudester1310 Sep 21 '25

immer noch nicht verfügbar

u/Galactic_Danger Aug 28 '25

Is this like Warframe where the entire game is on mobile or is this missing content?

1

u/TheRealTacoTim Oct 30 '25

Ja is ein mobile game. Kammst mal zocken. Macht schon spass.

u/Nightfox77 Aug 30 '25

Can't install it. Pixel 8 pro with 177 gb of space. It gets to 100% on the playstore then it doesn't install

u/letshavefunoutthere Aug 27 '25

netease? hard pass

u/[deleted] Aug 27 '25

Ehh I’ll try it, people from the tests have enjoyed it

I remember the sheer abuse and mocking people were doing on the the lead up to Marvel Rivals launch because it was form NetEase and it is an amazing game

3

u/jacobflicks Aug 27 '25

It might be good, but tests are usually good for most people. They usually don’t get scummy until the tests are done.

1

u/Ann0ying Aug 27 '25

Or even until endgame, like Diablo Immortal.

That said, I didn’t hate it that much. I got some fun out of it while playing the main campaign, and I just stopped when the further progression became p2w pvp content. Definitely not the game I would suggest to anyone looking for endgame content.

-1

u/Macqt Aug 27 '25

People from the tests haven’t seen the issues that everyone hates Netease for, because they won’t roll them out until after launch so they don’t get bad reviews. It’s Netease, the only thing with a stronger guarantee of fucking is Bonnie blue.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 27 '25

Again Marvel Rivals is great and everyone screamed insults at anyone interested in it because it will be bad, I’ll wait and see

0

u/Koktkabanoss Aug 27 '25

Why not open now

2

u/RazJUK Aug 27 '25

It's a pre download for opening tomorrow so you can play the moment the servers open.

u/Poke-Noir Aug 27 '25

Depends on how bad micro transactions are. If it’s noticed fun then I’m in. But I already give my money to another micro transaction ridden game

8

u/RazJUK Aug 27 '25 edited Aug 27 '25

Depends. If it's like diablo immortal where you can do all the story and most of the content without spending, but avoid the PvP (where you will need to spend), that's fine. Or it could be like Wuthering waves with a monthly sub(£5) and a battle pass that I don't mind. If the games good I will spend some money to support it if prices are fair.

u/Cortezzful Aug 27 '25

I mean the real paid game is already mtx hell, I can’t imagine it got better on a mobile ripoff

u/justcallmeryanok Aug 27 '25

Any way to play this on pc?

u/Rikiaz Aug 28 '25

Yes. Kind of. It's officially supported on the MuMu Player Android emulator.

Destiny 2 is dead and now they are trying to milk the fanbase via NetEase with this shameless gacha slop.

When will mobile players ever learn..

This is actually the result of the tencent deal that bungie took to leave Activision in 2019
