Here are some interesting facts about the computer games Destiny 2 and Journey:
Destiny 2:
Free-to-Play Transition: Destiny 2 was originally a paid game, but in October 2019, Bungie (the game's developer) made the base game and its year-one expansions free-to-play under the New Light title. This move significantly expanded the player base.
Eververse: Destiny 2 introduced the Eververse Trading Company, which is an in-game store where players can purchase cosmetics like skins, emotes, and more using a premium currency called Silver. This has been a topic of debate within the Destiny community due to the microtransaction model.
Raids: Destiny 2 is known for its challenging raid activities, and one of the most famous is the Vault of Glass. It was also the first raid ever introduced in the Destiny franchise, and it made a return in Destiny 2's first expansion, "Forsaken," with various updates and challenges.
Cross-Save and Cross-Play: Destiny 2 eventually introduced cross-save, allowing players to use the same characters and progression across different platforms. In 2021, the game also started implementing cross-play, allowing players on different platforms to play together in certain activities.
Journey:
Minimalistic Storytelling: Journey is known for its minimalist approach to storytelling. There is no dialogue or text in the game, and players must interpret the narrative through visual cues and the emotional experience of their journey.
Artistic Collaboration: The game's stunning visuals and music were a result of collaboration between Thatgamecompany and composer Austin Wintory. The game's score received critical acclaim and was even nominated for a Grammy Award, making it one of the first video game soundtracks to receive such recognition.
Multiplayer Experience: Journey features a unique online multiplayer component where you can encounter other players on their own journeys. However, you can't communicate with them through traditional means like voice chat or text. Instead, you can only communicate through musical chimes, fostering a sense of companionship and cooperation without any verbal communication.
Short but Impactful: Journey is relatively short, with an average playtime of around two hours. Despite its brevity, it has left a lasting impact on players and has been praised for its emotional depth and artistic design.
Both Destiny 2 and Journey have made significant contributions to the gaming industry, with Destiny 2 offering a vast online multiplayer experience, and Journey delivering a unique and emotionally resonant single-player adventure.
