    After spending 70 hours, i realized that destiny is just a fancy package over bitter candy. Game is pretty, guns feels good, so does combat and balance of sub classes. However all that is being greatly overshadowed by the negatives.

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 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    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.    … 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.

    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.

Your a lost cause and a loser company. If you want to play this game prepare to play their way, based on what weapons are broken and classes at the moment. If you go warlock you are supremely phucked. Do not waste your time. This company doesn't know match making, game balance in any way and does nothing but patronize you when you complain. This game is nothing but Asian hackers and guardian services paid carry/players. Right now you can already order flawless runs on every website in the world and all are testing their autoaim and cheat bots in pvp play. GARBAGE game. I have devoted the remainder of my gaming days to killing this damn game and company any way I can. IT IS THAT HORRIBLE. Oh yeah get ready to have people hacking your PC since they cant even setup their own servers and everything is 1990 peer2peer connections. I have my internet disables 10-15x a day from DDOS attacks from this game. Anyyone rating this above a 2 is a 12 year old who goes from free game to free game or hackers with website carry services. There is ABSOLUTELY 0 reason to play this. Pursue X weapon that is useless garbage or broken and once done with those you stand there because there is no other content to this game. Bunkie manipulates XP, loot drops, even hit registry in PVP so 1 game your good and another 9 shots do not register over and over and over. You will never have fair matches. Average is 50+ point gap between teams. If a blue moon does appear and its a good game don't worry because Bunjie will immediately at the end throw all players into a pile and start over with the imbalanced teams. My 9 year old could devise a better system then this archaic, ancient garbage system they use. Fun part is when they whine about "its so much work for us to do". They cry to us at least every 45-60 days about how we are so mean and need to understand how much work they are doing making the next garbage expac that doesn't fix any issue whatsoever.… Expand

I looked at all the planets and didn't see the word "strikes". I got bored and left. Because of this aimlessness you won't feel invested. If you do take a break, even for Christmas or a family holiday, when you come back chances are your character will look like crap because the armors and characters are so ugly so there won't even be that to give you some sense of investment. You'll find characters with guns and so many missions each that there'll be no focus to carry you forward, which was why I stopped playing for a while in the first place, but absence doesn't make the heart fonder, it just makes it worse.

    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.
