One of the many complaints that players have had since the launch of Destiny is the the long loading time involved with having to go to orbit prior to picking a new location to travel to. Many players have asked for a “Go To Tower” option to replace this so that they can instantaneously go from activities in the world to the Tower. One post on Reddit may actually give a very good explanation as to why this system is necessary.

Its neat especially since not everyone might have two friends playing it. Makes it more personal to go at in duos.
It's 2026 and basic match making features in MP games are still being drip fed to an audience that still gets excited over said basic feature being implemented.
Darryl Linington from Notebookcheck.net writes: "Early hands-on time with Marathon, spanning roughly 10 hours, points to a distinctive extraction shooter with strong shell-based class design, layered faction progression, surreal presentation, and a dense UI that still needs smoothing out."
Almost 16,000 reviews on Steam currently has the game sitting on a very positive 90% Not sure if it has the player numbers but those who are playing seem to be enjoying themselves.
On Steam, you have to have bought the game, in order to play. On metacritic, ANYONE can review it. I'll leave it for you to decide which one matters more.
Replies(1)The game is really really bad. So generic boring and lifeless. UI is terrible. Bad and slow gameplay. Not sure who gives the go ahead for these games. Insane all that money companies just throw away for no reason. Nobody a asking for these games
You haven't played it. That much is apparent from your comment. Gameplay is FAR from slow and boring. I do agree the UI definitely needs to be re-worked. But then again, you're just repeating a complaint you're reading about, not actually experiencing.
Can you show any proof you've actually played it, by sharing your PSN ID or Steam profile? Nah, guessed as much.
Gunplay is the best thing about the game. To call it bad is wrong. Just because it isn't a twitch shooter doesn't mean it's slow, not everything has to play the same. Everything else is generic I agree.
Yes I am. But tell me ,with goty games do you play? Have you even played Marathon? If not ...S T F U!!
So sick and tired of the hate BS 🤮🤮
Bungie has fully settled the Destiny 2 Red War copyright lawsuit with writer Matthew Martineau, ending a year-long legal fight.
I wish you could skip cinematic clips
Yeah cinematics not being skippable suck big time! Its absurd we are in 2014 and we cant skip cinematics in this game when back in the 90s they were skippable in many games lol and good amount of games now also let you skip. Wtf decides these bs ideas of not allowing skippable scenes!!!!
The load times dont feel bad to me when in orbit but hey thats just me. Faster is definitely better tho.
Make sense, but goodness I thought going to the tower to then go to the orbit to choose my destination was a stupid idea, seeing that there is a ship hanger in/at the tower and to me it would make more sense to choose the destination from then and there, instead having to goto said orbit to do so.
The article is just saying that all of the network setup like matchmaking, data syncing and server connection is done in the background as well as loading the location you are going to.
I actually assumed this was the case and didn't realise that it wasn't apparent to a lot of people. When did they think it was doing all of those other things? It simply doesn't have all of those different screens that you get in other games. I'm assuming that is to make things seamless. It still needs to do all of the usual thinks i.e. search for a lobby, sync data, find other players and connect. It just doesn't express that.
'cos the cutscenes are so light on story it just reminds me of when i cannot skip the first 5 to 10 mins of a porn movie.
