I thank Bungie for the opportunity to play Destiny 2 for free, but at the same time I want to scold them very much for removing a huge part of the free content from the game and for expensive DLC and season passes, without which there is essentially nothing to do in Destiny 2 in 2023.
    However, despite all this, Destiny 2 is still a pleasant game, with an adequate gameplay complexity curve. If you don't know what to do with yourself in the evening or on weekends - try Destiny 2 for free.    … Expand

    Not a fan of the game in general due to how it near forces you to spend money on it to enjoy it fully. Nor the practice of vaulting items either. Fun to play with friends if you want mindless PvE, but PvP felt horribly unbalanced.

    I bought multiple season passes back in 2018-2020.

    This is stupid and I have no idea where the stuff went, did they make it free?

    The content vault locking is one of many dumb decisions in the modern Industry.

    대체재가 없다지만 심한 부분은 정말 이래도 되나 싶을 정도로 망가져있는 작품. 하나밖에 없는 루트슈터 MMOFPS라지만 다르게 생각하면 여지껏 유일하게 살아남았다는것만으로도 그 완성도만큼은 인정해야될듯.

There's a freaking problem with your game if you need 5 different items for you to have a transmog. If you're a free to play players your **** since the story is behind a pay wall. Even Zenimax is not that greedy in terms of story missions. Heck, even warframe is good at this. This game is becoming another cash cow and I'm not surprise because a chinese company now owns bungie.
    All in all a good game destroyed by its monetization. If you want a looter shooter and don't mind the grind this game is good for you.    … Expand

    The story is pretty empty and doesn't explain much. The gameplay is very fun and very repetitive. The dlcs is story and equipment and the stories are not so interesting.

    Game is ok i guess , i tried it just before beyond light dlc . With paid dlcs . The way content is changing and the policy of season passes and new dlcs , got me a little confused . Story is just ok , the size of it did not seem very meaningful . Overall for me it was a neutral experience I would not recommend this game for my likings though .

What's worse is that people were clammoring for "competitive" PvP to come back to Destiny2 in the form of "Trials of Osiris" and it only made *everything* worse.

    And people quickly regretted asking for it too because everyone realized _"wow I actually hate this"._ Who would have guessed a game with bad PVP would have _really bad_ competitive PVP?    … Expand

    Feels like a online halo or a halo ripoff...which is a good thing, and it feels like that because it was created by halo creators. For a new person to the franchise it feels like a mix between the division and mass effect Andromeda Or mix between Warhammer and halo etc etc

    I don't like play shooters so much and online games as well but Destiny 2 could hold me because of the main story line. Now i'm playing the 1st DLC and feels the same. The game is great as a story game with its characters and the plot. But I what I certanly love is a warlock :)

    A decent time waster with friends for mindless shooting. Setting, characters and world design is unbelievably bland. Dialogue is either cringe or passable. A really forgettable experience overall. Would not play this if not with friends. Graphics are nice though and gunplay is solid.

    As long as you're into PVE, it's a good game. If you like PVP, be prepared for a bunch of sweaty, tryhard virgins who haven't seen sunlight in months as they kill you with The Recluse, teabag you, then insult your mother.

    The only problem with PVE is anytime a great weapon comes along, Bungie nerfs it. Other than that, PVE is very fun.

    First, i didn't play destiny. This is the first destiny game i played. I didn't buy the game for its story, this is why i gave 7 points. I liked looting for the first 20 hours, then i got bored and deleted the game. I remember that the boss fights were very easy and there were a little monster types. But even so the game is fun.

    It is a good shooter, but its a bad service. It is positioned as a game for hundreds of hours, but it doesn't have so much content to actually fill those hours. After completing the story, the side missions, probably some lost sectors, trying out PvP, playing though every raid (maybe even a couple of times)... there is pretty much nothing to do. Running around the open environments randomly killing enemies doesn't count, simply because it is too boring for such a shooter. And all the things listed are generally completed within around 30-40 hours. Buying the expansions can prolong that by another 20-30 hours (that is inaccurate). However, that is not enough to get fun for hundreds of hours.
    Another issue is plot. And here i'm talking about both the main story, and stories for side missions. You can forget about the latter - it's simple "the enemy is doing something bad there, go there and kill everyone". The main plot can be rated 5/10.
    All in all, it is a decent science-fiction Doom. Nothing more.    … Expand

    1, its competent but bland.
    2, Bungie have alienated the D2 fan-base with some pretty shady practices. Maybe this was due to it's former partnership with activision, as appears to be the case.

    Firstly, let me just say I'm not going to needlessly drag a game because I personally feel let down by it. Game play is fluid and reliable. It is a vast sandbox with plenty to see and do, for the newer player - and there in lies one of the problem. It is a big, glitzy and glamorous experience, as any AAA game on the market. However, whilst doing everything well, there is little that jumps out and "wows" you.

    One area that flops entirely is: Comms. You would think that a game that requires you to team up with other players for 70% of the content, would have some well thought out communication system? Well no. Bungie has opted for an extremely ill thought out, or more likely a safe, approach. To avoid the possibility of anyone saying anything that might upset anyone - they've gagged everyone. Want to team up? Good luck doing that in the anti-social "social hubs". You will need to do any comms through a third party app like discord. And this is a massive deterrent for the newer player. All of this content, and they're locked out of it. If by some chance you do find and active clan, more often than not, they will already be established and direct noobs to one of the discord LFGs(looking for group), because they won't be able to inflict damage in raids etc, until above a certain light level. Putting usable communications alone would have done wonders for the game.

    Bad faith season passes and content drops: really gets my blood boiling. I am older and have the disposable income to buy a game or two, when I want unwind with friends. But, when some kids has saved up for D2, only to find themselves having to shell out more, every few months. Because the game has adopted a "games as a service" model. Isn't exactly fair to them. They don't pay? They get locked out of new content, and cannot progress to the levels those who paid do. And several months down the line, when Bungie release content that they do want and can afford? Well... they have to buy the other junk content first. This is what I mean by shady practices. I'm not going to get into the Eververse fiasco. No, D2 screwed it's player base 3 months after launch with the "curse of Osiris" release, and saw the numbers tank. It was garbage, that very few liked, on a lonely desolate tiny map with no redeeming features. Since then there have been some great content releases, but the damage was done.

    Since the "curse of Osiris" fumble, most content releases have been tepid at best; mainly centering around cheap PvP maps. Bungie still haven't got the message about D2 PvP. Many other free to play games do PvP much better. They have also become a victim of their own massaged figures. Those that play D2 for PvP and or Gambit modes, are a tiny percentage of players, and youtubers/streamers, showcasing their skills. Most players(and all solo players) don't care for going into a PvP map to get fragged by a team, or pro team, sitting "team shooting" them from across the map - and only play these modes because they are forced to complete their weekly milestones. Yet, Bungie, seeing the player count on PvP, think that this is a popular mode. IT IS NOT BUNGIE. It's an awful "click fest" on a cramped map, that you have told them they need several hundred kills on, for a quest step. But, because they are solo queuing, and getting team shot, takes them forever. Bugie then takes these "forced attendance" figures, and thinks, "they must really like PvP, we'll give them more". They don't! They're hostages lol. Making death match levels for doom and quake(years ago) was something we did over night to play with mates the next day. The assets already exist, you just plug them together, test it, and bingo - free content. We didn't take 3 months and charge each other £20 for it. It's lazy, and an insult to paying customers. Remove the need to play PvP for these quests, and you will see the real numbers.

    Most of the players today are wanting to explore the world, find new stuff, Lore, and love the story. They can clearly spot when a character from the lore has been shoe-horned in as an excuse to provide a low effort, cheap, recyclable content to charge extra for. You ask them to solve some amazingly difficult, and well thought out puzzles in raids etc(that Destiny does better than anywhere else), but think they can't see this? I hemorrhages players, and is exploitative to the younger player. Don't rob kids for heaven's sake. Then have the cheek to harp on about equality, diversity, and inclusion. You cheapen those meaningful terms for profit.    … Expand

    While Destiny 2 has a solid foundation and a robust story campaign, its endgame content feels a little lacklustre. The sandbox doesn't have a whole lot of depth, and plumbing each of the hub worlds for secrets doesn't feel that rewarding. Grinding Public Events, Raids, and Strikes with friends is definitely a lot of fun, but there's a huge disconnect between content being cleared and your character strength increasing. There's still a lot of room for Destiny 2 to grow but, for now, it's still got a few kinks to work out.
