    Fun gunplay, nice visuals. That's about it. They literally ripped a PvP game mode, Trials of the Nine, and locked it behind the expansion.

    Interesting concept of a game. So you're basically paying for a 4 hours campaign, mindless grinding, everything is behind a paywall or random loot boxes. There have been, and will be, countless more interesting games with more content and less contempt to its buyers, many of which are free.

    Nightfalls, which used to be no revives and kick out once everyone is dead, are now a 15 minute sprint through enemies that chew you like bubble gum. even running through some of the maps you'll be hard pressed to kill in enough time, this isn't fun. It never was fun. being timed in a twitch shooter is fine for achievements but some of us just wanting some gear. seriously remove the stupid timer. If the "hardcore" want to challenge themselves, separate that mode and give them more, but let us just fight something really hard without a damn timer.

    Gear almost never is better than what you currently have. I've been playing for 2 days and seem stuck on level 21 and 22 gear with every engram being lower than that even. I've really just stopped trying and moved onto other games that I don't have to fight RNG for.

    Events are garbage, most you have to pay to participate. paying in a game you already payed, not to mention none of the guns really have that good feel to them that other shooter games seem to have.

    PvP is the same boring mess it always was. Use auto-rifle or hand cannon, get super, wreck faces, hear someone else use super, run away. As someone who constantly had a 3.0 or high K/D rate I can say that I didn't have fun doing it. maps still have that issue where slight inclines can stop you from moving if it isn't "ramped" properly. Meaning if you aren't jumping you just don't move.

    I can't say one thing about a raid because I'll probably never have enough interest in the game to get that far. all the stuff that should gear you for the raid is just a random chance.

    TL;DR AVOID THIS GAME! DESTINY 1 IS A LOT BETTER! And that really pains me to say that...at least there is real progression in that game.    … Expand

    The gameplay by itself is alright, nothing special, turn your brain off and shoot while collecting better gear. The same old mmo formula. It's good to reminisce of the Halo games on PC, as I have not had a xbox in a long time and haven't had the chance to play anything Bungie in years.It's alright for a few hours of shooting but gameplay? You can run past most of the enemies until you're stuck in an arena and must kill some to progress..I realized I don't have to kill the enemies and can run past them most of the time.. Funny. Anyway..for a humble sale I got my moneys worth and experienced what these so called modern games are all about.

    Now Level lock behind paid dlc? I thought I was getting the full game with the humble bundle sale. Most games are free to play these days I doubt any paid games will survive for long, it's only a matter of time before the netflix of gaming comes along, see Origin vault.    … Expand

    Probably one of the biggest disappointments I have played in a while. Started off with four of my friends playing, then after a week two saw the light and ditched it. Only me and another friend remained only to get disappointed at the game play, boss fights, "dungeons", whatever. All boring and kill this guy for this loot at that is it. Stupid game, waste of our money.

    Got this game fore free (glad i didn't pay for it). what i was really looking forward to was the PVP part, to bad. Unless you keep up with the latest expansions and max you level out you are just going to lose each fight. So in other words it's pay to win. Because i didn't buy all the DLC and max my level past lvl 20 for the base game i have half the power or less as compared to everyone else.

    This game is both Awesome and Awful. I didn't played Destiny one, and this review addresses the entire game, including extensions at the moment I write this, meaning : Warmind, Forsaken and Orisis, with a little bit of Forges.

    It sold itself as a mix between Warframe, Borderlands, Halo and some MMORPG stuff. That's not wrong, but all these games are way better than this one. Summarize    This game is both Awesome and Awful. I didn't played Destiny one, and this review addresses the entire game, including extensions at the moment I write this, meaning : Warmind, Forsaken and Orisis, with a little bit of Forges.

    It sold itself as a mix between Warframe, Borderlands, Halo and some MMORPG stuff.
    That's not wrong, but all these games are way better than this one.
    Summarize : A not-so-bad game, but not as fun a Borderlands, not as dynamic as Warframe, and with a so-so story, with really timid MMORPG elements and waaaaayyyys to much grind and RNG.

    First, lets begin by what is good :
    Graphics are awesome, and the game is relatively light. There are a lot of stuff to do in the game, and a lot of Lore to explore.
    The gameplay is dynamic without being too slow, there is some room for coordination between players and the camera switching (from fps to tps) when using certain abilities etc is well made and pleasant. You can feel the inertia of your hits, movements, and yet the gameplay is extremely fluid.
    The build system, event if classes are not really so different from each others, seems at first really limited, but when reaching endgame, becomes really rich and the sum of tiny limited elements permits to do some nice and "original" builds. Every weapon is OK to use un PVE, even if some are better than others.

    Now, let's explain why this game does not have a 10, but only a 2.
    This game has one main issues : the progression system and the skin customization.
    The progression system is a really grindy one, and not really fun grind. You need a "power level" the damages you inflict and you take are representative of the difference of power between you and the PVE opponent. The higher the ratio between yours and his, the higher you will hit and the lower you will get hit.
    When progressing through the story, the required power level increases as well. At first this is not a bother, since you are into the game, and power level, given by your equipment, raises with every loots you get. But once reached the "soft cap", you need to do daily and weekly quests to get power level increasing and access new content. I'm at a point I finished the story of Forsaken, and I want to try the Forge. My power is 585 and the required is 615. Monsters there shred me while I need twice the normal amount of ammo to kill them. And it's frustrating, because it is not a problem of build or skill, only that my numbers are not high enough. Especially since the monsters are always the same since the beginning of the game...
    Another part of the progression system that bother me is the randomness of the loots. There is close to no way to influence what type of loot you want to get, and most of the loots are useless after you reach the soft cap. Weapons and items comes with "perks" on it, changing their abilities, but these are also completely random. So you just have to wait for the right item to come with the right perks.
    The idea is not so bad, because it somewhat forces players to try new weapons. But the reality is that if you like to try lots of builds like in a RPG, you will face a strong deception. As well as the exotic (rarest items possible) items, that are just as random as usual, and most of the time ends up being close to useless, especially because you can only equip two out of 3 weapons and 2 armor pieces.
    The sadest part of this is that the game is extremely rich of achievements and lore, and that none of them are used to get stuff.
    And armors are locked to a character class, so if you want to test all three classes at endgame, you have to do the grind three times somehow...
    Finally, armors are random, the perks on it are randoms, and the appearance as well, so you just can't really choose how you will look unless you are extra lucky. But in this case you should just try gambling instead of playing this game.
    Bonus : part of the gameplay, especially raids, does not have matchmaking and so you have to recruit people via clan or chat, unless you have five others persons playing with you.

    as a conclusion, this game is not bad, even quite good, but is definitely not worth it's price and the price of it's extensions. It can be interesting if you have friends, like 3 or 6, to play with.    … Expand

    This game has the potential and definintly all the elements to be a top notch game but that's far from what it acrualy is. The game just gets boring after just 10 hours or so. It is very repetitive and the plot is certainly very shallow. Would definintly not recommend.

    I'm going to get right to the point. This game is broken. It does not necessarily suck, but in no universe could this ever be considered fun.

It does not necessarily suck, but in no universe could this ever be considered fun. After (for some stupid reason) putting 150+ hours into this game, I have not once played a single match of pvp without feeling the urge to pull all my hair out. The meta is so strongly defined by equipment that either comes extreme endgame or hours and hours of grinding a single mission since the drop rates are so obscure. To put it simply, until you obtain these game-breaking items, there is no way you are ever going to have a good time in pvp. Out of hundreds of weapons and armor pieces to choose from, you are guarenteed to see maybe 3 different ones in play in pvp and even pve. It's unbelievable, and the developers sure take their sweet time between patches, leaving players with a mediocre experience for months at a time. It is a huge problem when players have been asking for changes and complete reworks to many of the games essential elements such as the ammo economy and supers. Supers are completely overpowered in both pve and pvp. They go from granting your entire fireteam invincibility for a long period of time or completely eliminating the need to reload. In pvp supers are going off constantly, and if you don't have a super to counter one on the enemy team, you are completely hopeless and will sometimes be killed more than once by the same guy in the same super. I can safely say avoid pvp at all costs. Unless you enjoy having a miserable grinding experience with terrible story progression for a price that this studio has some serious audacity asking for, I strongly advise avoiding this game and all its expansions until you find one hell of a discount.… Expand

Game is pretty, guns feels good, so does combat and balance of sub classes. However all that is being greatly overshadowed by the negatives.

    1. Game has no social system. there is no LFG tool, there is no search for clan tool, voice chat is bugged for half people. regular chat work in such a bad manner that people never use it, or even see messages. Like you sit in your main lobby, asking questions in general chat, but than it's just you, no one sees it, because chat is always hidden.

    2. End game content here is PVP (which is alright) and raids and dungeons (which are pretty much raids for small groups). These raids and dungeons are pure mini games, like jumping puzzles, riddle solving and etc. They have no noob difficulty where you would go into a guided raid, learn mechanics and etc. Nope, none of that, if you suck at solving riddles or jump puzzles, that's it. Lower difficulty only means mobs have less hp and less modefiers, but why would you care for it if you still cant complete the mini game in time.

    3. PvP, mean while it would be fun, but they removed match maker, so now there ton of skilled PVPers griefing on people who dont play pvp, or play a little just for fun. So yeah, go ahead and have your butt kicked.

    4. Game is not region locked, meaning that at about midnight, you will meet mostly Asian players, Asain clans, like from Korea, where gaming is a job. God forbid you want to do some pvp.

    5. Game has WoW style gear thread mill, meaning that you grind out your item level to the cap available in current season, when season ends, all that gear goes to hell and you have to regrind it over.

    6. campaigns are bad, specifically they have barely any narrative, or what you would call a good story. basically, you run up to campaign NPC, he than talk to you (havent seen mouth move or any thing, just voice). Than you accept the quest (campaign) and watch 15-30 seconds cinematic, after that you go grind outposts or kill juggernauts for 30 minutes, come back, hand in quest, rinse and repeat. This is literally boring.

    7. Game has no viable navigation. after tutorial you're swarmed with bunch of quests and bounties (literally another version of quests, just different name). from that point on you dont know what to do. game doesnt tells you where to go, how to advance, what is important in the game (yes important because old content's loot almost entirely obsolete) and etc.

    8. lastly, there are ton of bugs which still sprout out of no where, thats in a 2 year old game, like genral bugs, like calling character menu with bind wont work, quests glitching (wont let you complete) and many others.

    9. ah one more thing. like in every game there is meta, which is fine. but guns that dont make it into the meta, are obsolete, to the point that teams wont take you into the raid if you dont have specific guns. Needless to say, in pvp people with "right" guns will always kick your ass, simply because their time to kill is way better than yours.

    I feel bad as i already spend money on pass and 2 DLCs which ended up being trash, i cant get a refund as i played too long and i've only played for 2 weeks. I'll finish this season just to get my money worth and will part with the game.    … Expand

    I've played Destiny since the first game launched. I've had to take breaks from it for one reason or another.

I've had to take breaks from it for one reason or another. Starting with the last few DLCs of the first game I saw things being cut that really shouldn't have been cut and things added that shouldn't have been added. The downward spiral started when Destiny 2 launched. You are given the choice of importing your Destiny 1 character, awesome. However there is no actual reason to import, no unique dialog options, no unique gear, nothing but false hope. Then in the first mission you loose everything and it was all set up as "Take back what you lost" its actually "Lets start from a Clean Slate" instead. Then the shift to seasons brought the F.O.M.O (Fear of Missing out.) This basically made it so you have to play insane amounts or loose out on gear, unless you want to spend $50-$100 to purchase season ranks. There is very little replay ability once the campaign is finished. usually limited to Raids, Strikes, and the randomly selected 3 weekly heroic story missions. The game caters to the hardcore no stop gamers who have no life and once they get everything they want either move on to another game or go into the PvP arena and make a nuisance of themselves. There is also a large emphasis on the Crucible PvP. all the gear gets balanced shortly after its released so there isn't an unfair advantage in PvP. This is more commonly called "being Nerfed" this ends up more times than not making the gear almost worthless. Doubly so for gear nerfed for PvP reasons as they become a hindrance in PvE. There is no realism, a sidearm user rushing a LMG while being continuously pegged in the face but still takes out the LMG user? Nope nothing wrong with that, perfectly good. Yea, I call that broken.

    Now large amounts of content is being cut out because they are concerned the game is to large and they want to release more content. Now we are back to FOMO. This game is not casual player friendly. If you can't dedicate 3-4 hours a night and a good potion of your weekend you more than likely will loose out on portions of the game, and even if you do you are at the mercy of RNG(Random Number Generators) for loot. You can run the same thing 50 times and not get what you are after. Its very easy for casual players to either get fed up and quit, or just burn out from doing the same content repeatedly to get something before its removed. There has been some fun content, like season 9. But it was season content and was pulled from the game at the end of that season. Heck some of the content was even pulled during the season. Also the Forsaken DLC things were looking up, but it didn't hold.

    Those who say the game has potential, i completely agree. However its unrealized and ignored potential. Example, Destiny 1 the Guardian could talk. Then near the end all of a sudden, nope they are mute now. Then in Destiny 2 the Guardian is still mute and the Ghost does all the talking. Am I the only one who misses the banter between the Ghost and the Guardian from Destiny 1? It added depth. Then there was the tease of voice lines during the Forsalen Campaign. But that was more of a slap to the faces, they only have like 3 lines throughout the entire campaign, otherwise nope, just Ghost talking again.

    The change of Ghost's voice. This bugged be as Ghost went from "I have seen things, I know things." to the whole "I'm in charge, you listen to me" that he comes off as whiny arrogance. That I put on those who wrote the lines and scenes and insisted it be more "light-hearted" Both voice actors can do amazing things, but can only do so much when what they do is micromanaged by others.

    A big issue is the games lacks content, and what content it does have keeps getting cut. The game supports 4k resolution, its NOT going to be small in file size. If its a size issue, make the game modular, so gamers have the choice what they want installed at a given time. Or if they want everything then they can have all 100GB+. As for FOMO, its a mechanic to try and force players to play more and/or spend Real Life money to keep caught up. its a disservice to players, same with Gaming as a Service. Too many games require a server to play and when the server is shut down, well, can't play the game again, even as single player. For this game you really need to think to yourself "Do i want to play for casual fun, or spend every spare minute I have playing in a complicated timesink of a downward spiral." Unless there are large changes, I see the Destiny series will continue to struggle, or fall apart completely.    … Expand

    Developers, we need to return the old content to the game. There is no desire to start playing the game now. It's like starting to watch a television series from the fifth season. At the same time, you will not be shown what happened in the previous series. Learn from WoW. All the old content is available there.

We game a lot and don't have networking issues, however on this game we were plagued with disconnects. Also as we warped to different zones on the same map we had to communicate where we were as there was no map indicator. Strikes were OK, but the raiding is difficult unless you're part of a big clan. 3rd party tools are being used to find players, which require adding b.net friends and inviting them to a party and then dropping them at the end of the run.

    How some people can support this mindless always-online junk. It's so boring and grindy and repetitve with a bad AI and wanky characters and a silly story which is only interesting to 10 year old kids.

    Destiny 2 is the game made by Organization XIII when Square-Enix took a decade and a half to release Kingdom Hearts 3. Much like the nobodies of the Kingdom Hearts universe, Destiny 2 is a game that is superficially beautiful and perfect – outwardly, everything looks okay. It has great graphics, a solid graphical style, and decent gunplay.

    But when you go past the surface, you realize    Destiny 2 is the game made by Organization XIII when Square-Enix took a decade and a half to release Kingdom Hearts 3. Much like the nobodies of the Kingdom Hearts universe, Destiny 2 is a game that is superficially beautiful and perfect – outwardly, everything looks okay. It has great graphics, a solid graphical style, and decent gunplay.

    But when you go past the surface, you realize that there’s nothing inside – the game has no heart.

    Destiny 2 is basically a Borderlands MMORPG – a looter-shooter, with some PvP arena multiplayer thrown in. It is a MMORPG – you constantly see players around you in the world – which of course makes the game’s single-player campaign, of you being the LONE GUARDIAN who has REGAINED THEIR LIGHT (i.e. their superpowers) into a bit of a farce, what with all those other lone heroes who saved the world running around with you.

    But let’s face it – you don’t care about the story.

    And that’s a problem, really, because Destiny 2, like all games, needs something for you to care about. But the problem is, Destiny 2 doesn’t provide it.

    The world? There’s pretty much no real lore to it – everything feels very arbitrary. You fight some bad guys, but there’s no real coherence to it. You have some allies, but they’re just kind of there. What’s the point of it all? I don’t even know, as I never really got to care about any of them. You don’t spend a whole lot of time around any of them, and they’re mostly about business rather than having any sort of personal character that you’d latch onto. Cayde is the “funny irresponsible one”, and the others are… pretty much just various kinds of military leaders, really. There’s a sniper in one area who is an older guy who wants to be left to snipe in peace, but while he babbles about personal stuff a little (more so than other people), there’s not really enough there to latch onto.

    So what are the stakes? There really aren’t any. Destiny 2 has the shape of a world, but it has none of the form or substance, and it is blatantly there just to deliver on its looter shooter nature.

    You might think that good core gameplay would make up for this fact. Alas, it really doesn’t. The game does have decent variety for a campaign of its (fairly brief) length – you’ve got a reasonable variety of big beefy guys who move around on jetpacks and who are pretty tough, machine enemies with glowy spots in non-standard locations as their weapon point rather than just the head, more slender, agile enemies who spend a lot of time running around, and the “magical” enemies lead by flying wizards. Each of these factions has multiple enemy types, including a few different types that can be made into bosses, and they work well enough for what they are – but the problem is that it all ultimately feels rather hollow. The optimal strategy against all of them is either “stand behind cover and shoot until you’re injured, then go behind it to heal” or “just keep shooting the melee enemies as they keep rushing at you”. It is only in a few places that the game really does anything to mix this up, having enemies spawn in behind you and forcing you to move, or having enemies rush at you to melee you while there’s a bunch of enemies providing covering fire, and these dynamic moments are where the game is the most fun.

    But most of the game is not this, but is instead a bunch of fairly static, stale encounters where you are more or less just gunning down bad guys ahead of you. And while these are actually okay from time to time, the game simply cannot subsist off of these sorts of mechanics for all that long.

    The result is that the campaign is about the right length for what it is, but , meaning that the real focus of the game is to play it over and over again to try and grind for better gear.

    And it is here that the game utterly fails, because the game mechanics simply cannot endure such repeated exposure. The game has already shown the player pretty much everything it has to offer in the main body of the campaign, and by the end of it, the player is maximum level and has a nice set of equipment. All that is left at that point is a bunch of side-quests – which are no different from what came before – and the PvP, which, while decent, isn’t anything particularly remarkable compared to games like Overwatch.

    As a result, the game runs out of steam as the player is about to hit the grind phase, and there’s just no reason to stick around – the game doesn’t really have anything left to show the player at that point, just more of the same, so what is the point of even grinding?

    But the utter lack of any sort of heart to the single player campaign means that there wasn’t any point to that, either. There's just nothing here to actually ENJOY.

    Destiny 2 is utterly inoffensive, but it never actually manages to be good. And without that, there's no reason to play it.    … Expand

    I expected this to be better. I was so wrong. This game feels like 1/10th the content that was put into The Division. It feels completely unfinished. The zones are super small. The quests are so/so at best feeling like they were thrown in at the last minute to draw out the time to level. The level 20 grind is so horrible, It does nothing to show you whats next after the cap. Go do events or play PvP, that's all they really push you to.

This is one uniquely kind of game, that is relatively good looking but has such a crappy aftertaste in almost any aspect (totally incoherent and blundered story, bugs, design faults, willful programmed obsolescence, deceitful game mechanics etc etc etc), that you can not stop the urge rinsing your mouth with powerful disinfectant, as with every new bite and extension you want to vomit more out than you already ate. DO NOT BUY THAT CRAP.

    It would not be fair to give that game a 0, because it can be fun playing it initially, yet after a short while (yeah the so called story line is rather quickly done...) and when one has grinded long enough to get the character classes and sub-classes to max, one quickly gets the epiphany that that was it. One raid in the endgame with a prestige mode that does not really get you better stats loot, repetitive strikes and heroic strikes and nightfall activities that result in no big loot gains but having ridiculous features in it, so you only can play them more or less with pro players only because of some really bad modifier combos.

    That game with all its bugs and design failures, and with the implementation of unseen and unscrupulous monetization mechanics, that just aim to squeeze and squeeze more and more money out of you - the buyer- , and all the game gives you is that bitter aftertaste in your mouth, as if you licked a load of dirt; it is a game that will get you on the long run into that depressive state where you pull and pull the lever of the one armed bandit of game mechanics and loot boxes and hope for the win and satisfaction that never comes. Just more crap more or less openly dumped on you.

    If you are a masochist that enjoys pain, then that is the game for you. It will keep you grinding for nothing. It will give you crucible matches you constantly yell about and scream in anger, because Bungie implemented a peer to peer model so they have saved bucks on their infrastructure and server capacity and optimized their cash flow.

    Yes, the cash flow that goes from your pocket to their managers bonuses being so innovative to sell you AAA priced faulty and buggy software, that gets you to vomit and yell on a constant pace like Linda Blair in the Exorcist.    … Expand

    When i first bought this game, I accepted that $60 would buy me half of a completed game, with the rest being locked behind expansion paywall. That's just how this BS gaming industry is now. Now that expansion 1 is out, I feel like I got about $5 of extra content, when I essentially paid for $15 since expansion bundle added $30 for 2 expansions. This kind of makes sense because this expansions was released two months after initial release on PC.

    Let me repeat that: Activision and Bungie released a $15 EXPANSION 2 to 3 months after release of base game.

    Okay, the DLC is short and doesn't add much. Let's accept that. Oops, half of the vanilla $60-half game is now locked behind DLC paywall. Good.

    People who were fortunate enough to not fall into the season pass trap now cannot access prestige-level content that they once had access to. They are honestly the true winners here since they now have a very valid excuse to finally drop this sad excuse of a AAA title.

    Other things that make this game suck.
    No chat outside of fireteam/squad.
    No true ranked PVP (although they said they will prioritize this in 2018).
    No in-game stats.
    Shader system built around microtransactions. (Shaders are consumable PER ARMOR PIECE). Want to buy specific shaders? You need to wait for it to be on rotation as well as use special currency that you get from loot boxes.
    Boring endgame, nothing to look forward to since everything is so easy to get.
    Raid is boring and pointless.
    Leveling feels so dumbed-down.
    Story is written for children. It's so cheesy and generic, the dialogue had me cringe a couple of times.
    Token system is no fun.
    Long TTK in Crucible is to promote sticking with team, i get it. But team-shooting is the only way to win and it makes PVP so predictable and boring. No longer do we see exciting 1v3+ clutches. Crucible is basically follow your team or you'll die. There's not even teamwork since there is no tactic involved. it's just 4 people grouping up and catching enemy lone wolves.

    I give this score 1 point for the amazing graphics and soundtrack. I would give it 2 points but good visuals and audio are basically nothing if the game is not fun and is a scam.

    Please Bungie, i fell in love with Destiny 1 three years ago on PS4. I told all my friends to get this game, and you really let all your fans down. It took me 2 months to finally admit that this game is a disaster. Thank you for scamming us all.

    I also want to give Bungie two big thumbs up for having the balls to deliver such a beautiful scam to contend for the epitome of the pinnacle of the mother of all scams: EA's prized jewel in which i don't want to name.    … Expand

    This game was a disapointment. I was hyped and the game was hyped beyond anything realistic and also game magazines or online journals have rated this game very high (88 here).

    Also the story is the only thing worth playing in this game, then you may have some fun in getting to highest power level. Thats it then - you are done and nothing left over to do anymore. The loot shooter or in more generic looter concept has been hidden behind paywall and does not make any sense in a looter. You want to find loot and feel rewarded for the grinding. However the game modes does not support this. You do not get anything rewarding from strikes or from PVP or from Raids. So why bother playing it and grinding over the same mission again and again and again? It is just booring and you simply do not get all the outfits and loot and weapon increase you would expect from a looter. So that is where the whole game fails.
    Bungy does make the same mistakes again, that has been done with Diablo3 in the early years - trying to get money out of a looter by putting the main principle within a real money store. That does not work, cause there is no reason to play it anymore.

    Beyond that, ethically questionable to put more then 50% of all items behind a paywall within full price game with DLCs . Also limiting the possiblity to get this items for free in a looter does not make any sense and is pure greed.    … Expand

No. They are ignoring all the feedback from their players, because they think they are right and they treat us like we are stupid.

    Balance in this game doesn't exist. Shotguns, jotunn, shoulder charge, spectral blades etc are ruining all the fun in PVP because they are easy to use. Why do snipers have flinch, because they are easy to use? Look at jotunn and machine guns, they are MUCH easier to use and they have almost 0 flinch! WHY? Because Bungie doesn't care about balance in their own game... If you're masochist, crucible is perfect for you, enjoy!

    ]Updates? Hmmm... One update every 3-4 months? Really Bungie, are you that slow? Btw great job nerfing shotguns in PVP, they are exactly as powerful as they were before, good job. Now we wait another 4 months and they will "nerf" it again! Maybe let's buff the damage and reduce the ammo reserves! Great idea! (no :))

    DLC? Annual Pass? You mean just so much long, tedious grind? Oh yea! That's content for Bungie! When we ask for a grind NOBODY WANTS TIDIOUS GRIND. NOBODY. But you - Bungie, always think about us and give us those long, amazing grinds, and you want us to do stuff and play missions that we played a thousand times already, then we have to get some 200 glowing **** by doing 500 strikes or 1000 public events or jump 50000 times inside of patrol, BECAUSE THAT IS FUN, RIGHT? Amazing work Bungie. Good job again. AND thank you for the best DLC "Grind Armory" btw.

    Bungie don't care about anything in their game. The forge matchmaking is a joke, sleeper nodes are **** enhancement cores are a cancer, op weapons at crucible.

    I can"t belive I paid for this. Its just a big "enjoy the game or f*** you" to all the players.

    If you enjoy that game, good for you! I'm happy that someone can enjoy this. But as long as I stand on this world, being a D2 player with more than 500 hours in the game, I advice you to stay as far as possible from this terrible, terrible game, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, don"t repeat my mistake, if you'd like to have a good, balanced game that you can enjoy playing, then go and buy something else.    … Expand

    Maybe the later content will make it better but as it stands at the moment, it is not worth the price at all.

    DO NOT BUY! The game is cut in half! Main story extremely short!

    I was one of the naive ppl who believed all the reviews telling games this is a polished Destiny. Well everybody forgot to mention they cut this game into little pieces and now they are reselling the rest of the game via DLCs!!!! This is a BS!!! I can't believe I paid almost £45 for 1/3 of a game. Any more words would be    DO NOT BUY! The game is cut in half! Main story extremely short!

    But the fact the I have to dish out 20 euros within 2 months of the release date for a DLC which, if not bought, locks me out of 90% of end game play make this game a total scam.

The endgame is to grind your light level which doesn't actually do anything because everything scales to you anyways, you never really change in power level. The talent system is incredibly underwhelming and offers no real choice or customization. There is no chat, at all, including for clans. There is no point to explore at all. Chests are on a timer where you won't receive loot after you open the first one. The stats, like the talents, are entirely underwhelming. You literally just find the same pieces of boring armor over and over again. I thought this might be redeemed by being able to eventually use exotics - nope, you can only equip one exotic armor and one exotic weapon, non exotic armor does literally nothing. The in-game fps counter is a lie, mine will continuously say 90+ yet feel like 10.

    Any points that I could have awarded this game for anything would be more than negated by the season pass/loot box combo. It's an empty shell to attempt to get more money out of you when they "fix" it.    … Expand

    Сейчас при старте игры выводится лозунг "Black Liver Matter". Такие игры нам не нужны, жаль что приобрел ее когда-то.
    A message is displayed at startup screen - "Black Liver Matter". I think NO, that statement is not valid.

    The game looks amazing, some issues with network (make sure to have a good broadband to play this game) see below:

    !!!Bungie may issue restrictions or bans to accounts that have consistent unstable connections when playing Destiny, as this negatively impacts other players.!!!!

    Players who frequently quit or are removed from Destiny Crucible or Gambit matches may receive a restriction or ban.
    (AGAIN MAKE SURE TO HAVE A GOOD BROADBAND)

    For examples of application features that may not be compatible with Destiny 2 on PC, view our Destiny 2 PC and Third-Party Application Feature Compatibility article. (MEANING MAKE SURE TO DO NOT RUN ANY UNKNOW PROGRAM THAT MAY INTERACT WITH DESTINY 2)

    Get the game if you want to have some fun, it is free, but because they have automated services that can restrict or ban your account, I advise you to do not put any money into this game, the staff team of this game are really small in compere to a number of the players and if u have an issue and need their help see below their answer:
    !!!There are no guarantees that a ban or suspension will be overturned,(nor that the email will be responded to)!!!

    The last advise make a new steam account to play this game, I know some ppl play in their work computers and destiny 2 game has an automated software that scan your computer so if u have a software working on the back ground and trigger their anti cheat your account will be done.

    !You were warned!

    The key for a game company to success is the way they interact with their game community, sorry Bungie Team, but you guys need to get more staff members to deal with the players and make sure that your staff members are happy. [Link omitted per site rules]    … Expand

    People complained for getting banned for no reason.

    Bungie pressed... "All banned are manual and cheaters. Everything's fine, ALL PEOPLE WHO GOT BANNED DESERVED IT".
    7 hours later.... "Actually, there's error in our banning process and people are getting banned for no reasons. Deal with it."

    Would you give 60$ up front to this?

    This game is definitely not worth its price.
    The gameplay is a boring grind with no challenge and has nothing new to offer, the story is full of holes and simply garbage, the characters have no character and are forgettable, the multiplayer aspect is simply not there and half of the game is locked behind a paywall.
    Destiny 2? No, its simply destiny 1.5. This whole series is a lie.

    Not enough here to warrant a sequel, should have been DLC for the original game not to mention the XP lies and tricks to get you to buy loot boxes. Bungie has revealed the their true colors and desire to milk their fans for as much money as possible while providing little in return.

    Do not buy!!! Do not support these kind dev, let them starve.
    This game is lacking in everything, but graphic.
    This game is design for loot box pure and simple.
    The devs lies like no tomorrow since beta, and continue to lie about shady loot box practice.

    Under no circumstances I would recommend buying this game.
    I haven't even played this game thanks to battle.net always killing my download and then it just keeps initialising the download but nothing ever happens. No fix I found is helping and the support seems to doesn't even try to help.

While it runs at a locked frame rate most of the time, it does dive inexplicably (I'm running an i7-7700k with 16gb of DDR4 ram, the game is also installed on an SSD - the engine is coded to streamload extreme poorly). While it does look better than its console counterpart (which PC versions always should), its low quality visuals even when maxed, and random frame drops are dead giveaways of a pretty mediocore console port.

    The game itself is extremely repetitive, with dry, boring voice acting and dialogue to boot. The FPS elements aren't as tight as pure FPS games, and the RPG elements aren't as deep as RPG games. It tries to cover a lot of ground but doesn't make a very good effort at making how it covers that ground interesting. It plays like a Korean F2P title with a Western skin. Every time I booted it up, I felt like someone had injected me with a tranquilizer. There is nothing remotely redeeming about this game. Not even coop with friends could save it.    … 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.

    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]
