    I find the haters bitter, twisted & deluded. I've been gaming for decades & Destiny is unmatched now and for the foreseeable future. As a shooter looter there isn't even a competitor in the ballpark. Simple as that. Haters gotta hate, if shooter looters aren't your genre then go back to Minecraft or Sim 3.

    Destiny 2 is the best game I have played in years. An MMO with a great single player campaign. Customization out the ying yang. Graphics are just incredible on my Nvidia 1060 3GB, believe it or not. Runs perfectly and Bungie has created a masterpiece here. I absolutely do not understand the hate for this game.

    I think Destiny 2 is one of the best games in the world because the hitting feel is excellent and the difficulty is terrific for the average player.

    Destiny 2 may not be in it's best shape, but it's becoming better every time a expansion or a season comes out, still i missed the good old contents like the leviathan raid and the sleeper and most importantly the red war, but i believe Destiny will make something that would change peoples minds

Nowdays when Battlefield 2042,Call Of Duty Vanguard and a lot of another AAA projects **** up, you can spend time with friends in Destiny,to have fun and cry sometimes. Expand

    This game is the game of my life, his campaign mode is simply one of the best I've ever played. in fact there are things to be improved, but this does not overshadow the developers' care in the details, they are constantly working to make the game a better place to spend their free time.

    The gameplay and shooting is as effective and straightforward as a game can be, the story is conversely as convoluted and impenetrable as a game can be.

    You play this game so you can hang out with friends and complete weekly and daily bounties to get cool new guns to shoot.

    Ambitious but also safe. Novel but also comfortable. New and old.

    I would give this a ten. But, I gave this a nine because of the PvP. It is very unbalanced. Other than that, everything else is very good. The story is very in-depth. New players do not need to play Destiny 1, which is very uncommon in other games. There are deep leveling and power systems, and a variety of things after the campaign is beat...actually, that's just the beginning! There areI would give this a ten.

The game is also rewarding for people who play together. Another thing is: do not listen to user reviews that give it a 5 or below. This is before Bungie took full control, and Activision was messing everything up. Bungie, finally getting the rights to it, but everything back in place. One more thing is that this game's story? Not just the end to it. Much more to do, as I said. One of the best is hunting for lore: there is lore to be found through triumphs, looking around, and it reveals things not many people know. This game is one of the best I have played, and I do recommend it to all. Plus, it is a good game for tweens wanting to start playing teen games. Expand

    Hello. I really like the game. The new addition really brought life to the gameplay. I am a girl and I liked the fact that in the Russian translation they call me a girl, in games this is rare. I was happy with this approach. But after the update, more and more often in the plot and gambit, the offscreen voice refers to me as a man. It upsets me.
    Overall, the game is as great as ever.

    This is going to be a long one bois. I rate this 7.5 but I just rounded it off. In terms of graphics, this triple A game is very well done having gone through a graphic patch since it first came out on PC (thought I wasn't there to see the big change I did see it on Youtuber videos).

In terms of graphics, this triple A game is very well done having gone through a graphic patch since it first came out on PC (thought I wasn't there to see the big change I did see it on Youtuber videos). Even for a high graphics, this game can run on decent gaming laptops, as long as you have a good enough PC it will work fine with very very little lag or bitrate issues. As for storyline, this game is the continuation of Destiny, the first game. Though the lore pretty much calls it "the new light", 'new light' meaning new players(long explanation). It may seem to just throw you into a boat and not tell you how to operate it as some reviews have stated but I disagree. Remember when I said "new light"? Well I'll give a brief explanation as to why its called new light(without explaining 'the light'{thats up to you to find out]). New light refers to new players, as as new player, you have no clue what the game or story will be about. But at the start of the game we see a "companion" waking us up. This companion is important as you find out more about the story, you will find out more about your companion. Upon doing the introduction in the game we get several cutscenes explaining who that companion is and what you are. But remember, put your mind in your characters' shoes, you have no memory of your past and youve just been put under a spotlight as you fight for a purpose you are still searching for slowly but surely. As you learn more about the story, so does your character in a theoretical way(your character learns what they are and so do you). Then the rest of the story progresses through expansions and dlcs in the game, (2 so far that you can purchase).

    But why is it 7.5? you may ask. well I also have problems with the game. It may seem like having 2 dlcs you have to buy to progress in the game is a butt load of crap but I disagree. For a company to do this is reasonable and a good marketing ploy: people who want to know more about the game or want to have more fun with it will buy the dlcs. If they like it, they can keep it, if they dont, just refund before 2 hours of gameplay of course. In my opinion the two dlcs are fairly well written story wise. Doing what they did in one of the dlcs was a good move and a good motivator. But for a free content, you only get so much to do, which is not very much at all, after you finish the free expansions the game has, then what? it will just become mundane as you get the repetitive pve events and repetitive grinding.

    But then again, "why 7.5? You didnt explain that." Well its already been said, you simply just have to buy the dlcs to enjoy more of the game instead of have all that content in the game already and have the game pay to play. But also keep this in mind, Bungie puts up a new dlc every year, last year it was Shadowkeep, before that it was Forsaken, this year its Beyond Light.

    Another few minor reasons is that you will need friends to enjoy some of the difficult parts of the game: the dungeons and the raids, and those contain the good loots. So if you dont have friends who play the game(or friends in general OOF) then you wont be able to play those raids and dungeons. But there are clans and people in game you can befriend as well, finding people is ultimately up to you. The exotics or the rarest weapons and armors in game can drop anytime and some have to be acquired through the raids which again, if you dont have anyone to play with you wont be able to get it, so thats minus a point or so. this game also includes multiplayer game modes for the competitive spirits out there and I say its very chaotic so be prepared, CSgo and COD and all those games may have prepared you for pvp fps skills but the game also requires you to "build" your character, so if you dont build well you will be an easy target nonetheless. otherwise, its still fun to play. For the pve players, its got tons of events you can play in not to mention the raids and dungeons and campaigns/missions.

    Going back to story and lore, Destiny has probably one of the most richest lores in gaming that you need hours to fully get all the story, PLUS the ongoing story the game has; it just keeps on expanding. Some technical issues the game has is that it isnt compatible with some streaming softwares, one big one is OBS. graphics optimization is also very good for a PC game that will rarely have problems if you have a decent PC.

    But for those who argue that this game is repetitive after some time, let me ask you this, what about other FPS games? CSGO? COD? MW? Fortnite? Moba games like League? DOTA 2? Ovewatch? those games too are repetitive.

Destiny 2 действительно приятный шутер с большим объемом оружия и его видов. Игра не требует игроков платить кучи денег за скины и прочее, ведь все это можно получить даже просто играя, что дает +1 балл в копилку к финальной оценке.

    Если вы по каким-либо причинам все еще не знакомы с этой игрой, то стоит в ближайшие сроки поменять свои взгляды относительно нее. Destiny 2 принесет вам сотни часов приятной игры вместе с другими игроками или вашими друзьями.

    I have gone over the reviews in here and all I could see were critics done with the knowledge of one moment of the game. So, I take it upon myself as a veteran player to really explain what Destiny 2 is.

    Destiny 2 is an MMO RPG Looter Shooter game, with an open world filled with different loot and challenges to chase. It is a very grindy game. You WILL have to play ALL of the game to get ALL of the loot. You CAN'T only play in team, and you CAN'T only solo the game.

    With that out of the way, here comes MY opinion.
    Firstly, it is necessary to undersand that D2 works in a cycle. All Septembers, we get a great expansion that puts the game in an amazing spot. Then follows an average season, then a poor season, then a great season. You can choose if you play this seasons or just wait for the expansion.
    I think this format of giving content, while it is quite annoying, is necesary, as Bungie is working all alone in such a gigantic game, with so many overlapping pieces that makes it extremely difficult to work with.
    Secondly, the classes, subclasses, etc. I think the idea behind the powers are original, but I still miss the old customization settings from D1.
    Gunplay: I have never played any game in which the guns feel better than in D2. All weapons are amazing and unique. Exotics are the best, of course.
    PvE content: If you're actually playing it and not speedrunning it to get to the raids (as many players I've met do) the game is rich in complex lore, mysterious character, beautiful landscapes, complex mechanics, and so on.
    PvP content: PvP is, by far, Destiny's worst aspect, as players tend to stick tremendously to the META or hack to win. Nevertheless, it is undeniably a fun experience. In PvP, you have to learn how players respond, how you respond to players, how guns work, how abilities work, and so on.
    Loot: If anyone tells you there is no loot to chase in D2, tell them to start playing seriously. D2 is filled to the brim with loot of different kinds, sources, rarities, difficulties, importance, etc.

    In conclusion: I believe Destiny is an extremely under-rated game by the players who expect to have everything served to them in a silver plate. Destiny is no easy game, you have to play to win. And if you find yourself unhappy with the current state, i suggest you either take a break or play it anyway, because, in the end, content is content.

    Once i was checking what kind of free to play games Steam is offering. I saw that Destiny 2 is free and i downloaded the game. It turned out to be a great game. The multiplayer feature is made pretty well, but i didn’t quite enjoy the Curse Of Osiris and Warmind. The main story was ok. So what do i think about the game. It’s a good game from Bungie and it gets 8/10 from me.

    So, when Destiny 2 came out I know it was time to get back into it.
    I will try to list all the pros and cons I've experienced over the years in this game. Bear in mind I have logged well over 900 hrs into D2 according to wastedondestiny (Ironically I don't consider these hours wasted).
    Pros:
    -The game is gorgeous and runs well even with old i7 and dated 1070 @1440p 144 hz monitor. Optimized well.
    -Thorough graphics adjustments and field of view sliders
    -deep and intense lore and world-building if you're into that
    -There is SO MUCH TO DO in this game, it can almost be a considered a con for newcomers
    -Seasonal content keeps things fresh, while not happening so often that you feel guilty for taking a break (to check out other games)
    -Year 3 and Shadowkeep is on the horizon and looks better than ever
    -PC has in-game chat and clan / guild system. MMO-feeling
    -Plethora of PvE activities to fill all your alien-headshotting needs (and explosions, grenades, space magic)
    -Solid gearing system with transmogs on the horizon in shadowkeep (for the fashion endgame)
    -Clean and mostly easy to use menus.
    -The music and atmosphere is amazing
    -The movement and shooting systems are TOP NOTCH. Easily the snappiest 1st person shooter I've played. It just feels right.

    The cons:
    -The story is OKish at best, and at times very boring and cliche.
    -Loadtimes can be brutally long, even on SSD
    -As mentioned earlier, there can almost be too much to do. You can feel overwhelmed at first. As I understand, this will be streamlined a bit in shadowkeep.
    -The game can be very random at times concerning weapon and armor drops. You might get the item you want, but it has the wrong stats. This can be frustrating when there are few direct paths to the item you really want. Some people however might consider this a pro.
    -Mistmatch between community wants and Developer goals. This happens in all live service games eventually and is not exclusive to Destiny.
    -There is an ingame real life cash shop. It is purely cosmetic. However I do understand that some people are put off by "the coolest things" being behind a paywall. This is however very subjective.
    -The game has for the most part been balanced for both PvE and PvP in paralell. This means that things might get nerfed for PvE when they were only a problem in PvP (and vice versa).
    -PvP has been rather shallow for the last year. There are special events every now and then, but it feels rather stale after a while. If you're mostly into PvP I would not bother at this point.

    Finally, I would like to say that this game has been a great comfort to me over the last few years. Sure, it has it's bad sides. Yeah I was tired of it during curse of Osiris. But I always returned. It always served as a nice escape from everyday stress. I could always log on and shoot some badguys and get some sweet loot. Or I could be more of a sweat and team up with other guardians through bungie's looking for group website and do the harder dungeons and raids. It's all there for you if you want.
    I have recommended this game to all of my friends who are into looter shooters, rpg's and spacey sci fi stuff. All of them have liked it, but at times the content drought can get too much, or the main campaign is too long and you just wanna play with your friends. Hopefully this will get fixed in shadowkeep and "new light" when the base destiny 2 goes free to play.
    I am looking forward to seeing you all in the game.

    PS. I would like to add: if you asked me for a review of Destiny 2, 2 years ago I would probably have rated it a bit lower - maybe a 6 or 7. It has steadily climbed over the last year.
    Conversely, I would say that anyone that votes this game lower than a 5 at this point is basing their review on old facts and an old state of the game that is no longer representable.

    The reviews on the user section are not the best representation for this game. They are based on old reviews (when the game first came out) and before it became what it is today, which is a fantastic game. Bungie really upped their game and made this game a whole lot better. Don't use the user score of 3.8 to determine its quality now as it has dramatically improved.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I like the game, the campaign is fine, PVP is fine but what really makes me like the game is the soundtracks and how they use them in the game and they are epic soundtracks but only when used correctly basically if Bungie put a soundtrack at a random time where its dull and nothings happening its useless but when you put the right soundtrack at the right time you feel excited and ready for anything, for example, the mission where you reclaim the subclass that you used at the first mission aka the one where you spawn in front of a place with a lot of fire or "Homecoming" you used (gunslinger for hunter, voidwalker for warlock and striker for titan), so back to the point in that mission a soundtrack called "inner light" plays and I think its a great soundtrack used in the right time but if you used it in orbit it will be useless so that one of the reasons I gave this game an 8 and if I was critic I would give it an 80-85.

    As a PC gamer, I've never played the first Destiny game. I jumped into Destiny 2 with my little brother and my friend for a coop campaign and was not disappointed.

    Sure, the story is bland, generic, and subtly tries to promote Christianity, but it at least has hilarious and cheerful Cayde. Gameplay is OK. It's not very complex, resembles Borderlands a lot, but at least it's simple.

    After the main story, you have free content left called strikes ( like raids in wow ) , quests, dailies, and world events ( activities) .

    The gameplay is very arcadey and involves fighting off hordes on a regular basis. There's a number of various baddies, but the gameplay is incredibly easy throughout the game. You could pretty much watch a youtube video of gameplay to find out whether or not you'd like the game, because if the gameplay doesn't look fun to you, then you won't like it. For me though, it's because of the constant hordes of enemies that I'm able to enjoy it, because it keeps me engaged. But it certainly won't be everyone's fancy.

    The baddies have weak points, (mostly headshots), to give you the extra gratification of landing your shots. And when they die they tend to explode in a manner that's similar to the grunt birthday headshots. There are some bullet sponge bosses, which I generally find boring to fight, so I tend to avoid them when I can since they're mostly tied in to public events you can do simply to level up and get loot.

    The graphics are for the most part, pretty damn good. They're certainly not hyper realistic by any stretch, but they're generally gorgeous to look at. On a 1070, I'm able to play the game at max settings at 1080p with over 100 FPS on a mere I7 2700. So I consider the game extremely well optimized. I rarely ever encounter significant frame drops.

    As far as weapons go, there are a ton of them. And I've really been loving that. It keeps the game interesting by having different means to eliminate your creeps. I find they all look pretty cool and most of them sound pretty satisfying. Balance seems to be all over the place though and can be tough to gauge in the campaign since you can get drops that yield some pretty significant differences in DPS values. The higher level weapons can also have special perks which sometimes provide significant bonuses to a weapon. You can also collect and wield special weapons like rocket/grenade launchers, sniper rifles, swords and shotguns, though you need special ammo to use them that only drops on occasion.

    The main campaign and story is the main source of disappointment for me. The story, in my opinion, is just really, really lame. You play as a guardian who due to space magic known as 'The Light', is capable of coming back to life after every death. This is a major frustration for me, because it cheapens the plot and dialogue. Whenever people start talking about any sort of risk or uncertainty all I can think is, "I'm **** immortal. It doesn't matter. The job's gonna get done one way or another." It's basically having 24/7 god mode. I don't have any issue with it as a gameplay element, it's just that as a plot device it completely nullifies any sense of vulnerability or danger. And naturally there's a villain who's trying to capture the light for himself so he can be an unstoppable, immortal tyrant over the galaxy. Cuzz, duh. That's what cookie cutter bad guys do.

    As far as the levels and actual missions go, it's a format somewhat similar to mass effect in that you can go to different worlds, (there's only 5), that you can travel around freely in, which are filled with various adventures and a campaign mission on each of them. The world's certainly aren't massive, but they're a decent size. They're designed in a way that makes the combat mostly close to mid range.

    There's a varying number of players you'll find in a level that you can interact with. They're locked out of campaign missions and certain quest parts, but you can do public events with them. I find it pretty cool, but with even a few other players the public events are absurdly easy mode, especially with the unlimited, low cooldown respawns.

    The multiplayer is where the real replayability is at. It's essentially Halo PC with a bunch of extra features. You can bring guns you've collected from the campaign into multiplayer with you, but they don't come with the DPS stats, so everyone's weapon is the same in that regard. However, you do get to take advantage of whatever special perks you weapon has. Some weapons are much stronger than others, so you do run into disadvantages if you don't play as much or get lucky drops on certain guns. For the most part though, different guns come with different strengths and weaknesses.

    You can also use you special weapons, but you require special ammo that spawns at opposite ends of the map with a timer. People mainly use rocket launchers, which are essentially 2 free kills. If the enemy gets both power weapon spawns, it's often very frustrating. Supers, which usually unlock only once per match, are jacked abilities that can net several kills in one go. When the enemy gets 4 in a row, before you can be death locked by chained insta kill combos.

    I'd personally prefer the game much more if it had a mode without power ammo or supers, as I believe they cheapen the skill/competitive component by granting free, easy mode kills in quick, chained succession.

    You have to ignore the toxic reviews, doubtful any of them actually own or have even really played this game. Just more negative poison being passed around. Also people seem to misunderstand that games don't need to support their cheating app, their special chat program or whatever random app they seem to think is so important to playing the game. That's not the developers responsibility, they don't owe you anything other than the game itself. Get it, play it, love it.

    * Overall narrative of the game feels like for 8 - 12 years old age group
    * expected more elements of depth and complexity from mmorpg but in first person shooter mode
    * the visionary behind the game lacks ambition/obsession or is out of touch with current competitors

    Gave 8/10 because it was still better and more fun than many of the AAA games out since 2010, but it won't be remotely close of getting the love and support that Star Wars franchise received. The gaming industry is seriously going in the wrong direction led by EA, then Activision, then Ubisoft, and so on. The business model philosophy that uses heavy analysis based on data won't survive for another decade in PC gaming industry, and whichever company sticks with it, might get stuck on a blacklist for many consumers in the future. I've stopped purchasing any games from EA for good five years, and now Activision is playing extremely close on the edge.

Leveling up and the learning curve is fun. The amount of weapons is insane, even if they vary slightly in actual impact. Multiplayer is like a very good Halo and COD with some special abilities and magic. again level design is awesome. I like D2 almost more than PUBG, but I am sci fi biased. The developers troll you as the game in the start may seem low action and the levels design less brilliant, but in a phases, the action and levels are ramped up, until you are running around in one of the most brilliant games ever made. Oh you can dance anytime too, which is cool. Expand

    Destiny 2 has a compelling story filled with wonder, mystery, and magical sci-fi lore. Though most of the game involves a bunch of side quests and treasure hunts, each adventure and encounter is memorable and awesome.

    This game came with my 1080Ti graphics card and I looked forward to trying Destiny 2 upon its release. For 70 hours I have, and this is my review:

    1.) The gameplay is repetitive, but varied enough to enjoy many times over and through many different activities. 2.) The gaming environments are beautiful and encourage exploration through the finding of region chests and Lost Sectors.

    3.) The NPCs are actually intelligent, causing many encounters to be fun and challenging.
    4.) Character models and gear are sleek and cool to look at and change at a rapid rate, keeping your character looking awesome in a multitude of ways, all the time.
    5.) It is recommended you play this game with your friends. Work together to complete challenges, raids, and crucible matches. It's great!

    1 point off for lack of social features. It is interesting they chose to default microphone on when the majority of players are too insecure to speak with strangers using their real voice. Perhaps Destiny 2 will urge people to break out of their shells? Here's to hoping!

    Visuals - mediocre. Textures are nothing special, some environmental models are good, but everything else is disappointing. Antialiasing is bad (outdated tech), and world feels sterile. Like there are no particles in the air or somesuch. There are just two scenes in the game that made me feel wow - the upclose sun and Pyramidion strike (inside).

    Audio - weak. Gunshots are bleak and

Like there are no particles in the air or somesuch. There are just two scenes in the game that made me feel wow - the upclose sun and Pyramidion strike (inside).

    Audio - weak. Gunshots are bleak and uninteresting. Enemy sounds, environmental - nothing to write home about.

    Class mechanics - played only 1 of 3 classes, but tried all 3 subclasses. They're practically indistinguishable. There are only 2 abilities - grenade and ult. And that's for all classes and subclasses. Warframe has dozens of "classes", each having a passive and 4 distinct abilities, along with Operator abilities and passives.

    Mobility - compared to Warframe - very weak. No special hits on slide, no diving on enemies, no rolling on the ground.

    Weapons - weak. Extremely limited variance. Very limited tactical modding like choosing a scope, etc. Mostly ugly weapon models. There are some good ones for Exotic quality though.

    Story - weak. 5 year olds might get excited, though. Zavala is voiced by the FBI chief from Fringe, and I love that man's voice but it's mismatched for Zavala. Every time Zavala speaks I cringe and notice how that voice is a bad fit for him.

    Social part - VERY BAD. No talking to other players, no matchmaking for nightfall strikes, raids.

    Music - doesn't get on my nerves and I'm very picky, and sometimes (on Nessus) it's really good.

    The only good thing I can mention is, despite all that, it's kinda fun to do brainless shooting of hordes of enemies on some missions.

    Also cannot purchase the game as a gift to someone, Blizzard shop tells me it's not allowed for my currency. Well done, guys. Billion dollar companies and all that.

    This game is only a 10 if you have a group of friends to play with.

    If you have none, then it's definitely a 0.

    (The negative reviews definitely speak the truth. But if you have a system that can handle 60+ fps and you think you would enjoy a Halo/Borderlands baby with your friends then I highly suggest getting this game.)

It's a minor annoyance for an otherwise outstanding experience. The game is running brilliantly with my i7 4790K and GTX 960 SC, constantly staying at 60 FPS aside from the occasional dip to around 55 FPS.

    The endgame is a little lackluster at the moment, but seems promising. My biggest complaint at this point (besides the intermittent game crash that happens) is the lack of a "Local" chat. It's way too hard to interact with other players that aren't already friends.

    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.

    In a nutshell, Destiny 2 for PC is the same outstanding game we played on consoles, but even more enjoyable thanks to spectacular visuals, masterful optimization and much more suitable controls. [13/2017, p.75]

    Play this great shooter with your friends, it pays off. Then it will offer hours and hours of great fun without the stereotype. But be prepared the endgame will thoroughly test your patience and willingness to grind. [Issue#280]
