    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.    … 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 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.

    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

I rated it only 8 because some quests are a bit boring,like "Go there,get it,kill it, give it me". 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

    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.

    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.

    Great decision for Bungie to leave Activision. It's now free on Steam so trying it without spending a dime is not an issue. Great shooting mechanics, but that was expected from Bungie. It is an 8 out of 10 game right now but I will give it 10 to offset 0 rating trolls...

    Satisfying combat mechanics, phenomenal soundtracks and beautiful graphics are combined into Destiny 2 - a game that, for the most part, succeeds in making its grinding nature less frustrating.

    It’s not perfect, but it’s one of a kind. If you wanted D3 as a first person shooter even with pvp..you got it. And is has a nice atmosphere.

    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.

    O jogo em si é excelente, mas fragmentá-lo por conta das DLC's é uma decisão falha. Ele mal chega a 10 horas sem DLC's, e a campanha foi completamente deixada no lixo após o jogo ter se tornar o F2P

    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]
