    I love Destiny 2, I do. The chase for exotics, playing Gambit with clan mates, finding hidden secrets. All that is so much fun when you areI love Destiny 2, I do. The chase for exotics, playing Gambit with clan mates, finding hidden secrets. All that is so much fun when you are with a friend or a few clan mates. Alone? Not so much. Black armory has failed to keep me and my clan mates entertained. Adding 4 forges (2 of which had tedious boring, timegates tasks to do that had seemingly nothing to do with the forge) and 5 exotics (1 only being available in a raid which sucks because I hate raids) and 6 unique weapons and reskins of previous destiny weapons with rerolls attatched and character specific armor and that's it.

    Bungie literally took $40 from everyone's and then with the first part of the 3 part DLC season pass, gave us practically nothing. No new planets, no no sections of old planets, no matchmaking on escalation protocol or blind well. They literally added almost nothing but took all our money.

    Bungie is trying the Fortnite model of sprinkling small items in weekly during each season. The difference? It works on fortnite because every game has a different outcome. Destiny? The same out come. Grind grind grind, win, wait a week, grind grind grind, win, wait a week grind grind oh hey a new exotic was released, win. Fortnite adds new spots on the map and new weapons weekly to keep things fresh and interesting. Bungie? They added 1 need gun 1 week which you had to do tedious crap to unlock. Then you had to wait a week for another new gun to tediously unlock then wait another week for another new gun and this time an exotic also. All this while still playing in the same spots as prior to black armory and doing the same missions you did prior to black armory. They just added guns, and not a whole lot of them that are unique and fun. I literally use 3 of them (hammerhead, tartars gaze and blast furnace) and I have 4 of the 5 new exotic weapons ( not the anarchy as that's raid exclusive and I hate raids) and only use the Jotunn here or there.

    My clan mates? They all stopped playing. Only me and 2 others unlocked all 4 forges. The rest stopped at forge 2 or 3 because they got bored of it. We used to play this game 6-10 hours a day on the weekend and now I'm the only one left playing. No one wants to play because there is nothing in this DLC that makes them want to put any effort in to the game. It's quite sad to see.

    In terms of all destiny 2 expansions (COO, Warmind, Forsaken) this one (black armory) is at the bottom of the list. It added almost nothing Tom the game but some forges and a couple guns and that was it. I hate to say I think but I wasted $40 ($13 if you break it down amongst the 3 DLCs included in the season pass). If this expansion was $4 then I don't be ok with it but it's not worth $13.    … Full Review »

    This is by far the worst dlc ive every purchased in 15 years of modern gaming.
    Ive been a hardcore destiny gamer, and I still am. But they    This is by far the worst dlc ive every purchased in 15 years of modern gaming.
    Ive been a hardcore destiny gamer, and I still am. But they way they've made this dlc inaccessible and stupidly hard is just beyond me.
    Im not gonna go into details,watch the IGN review if you want details.
    But as a consumer i feel empty towards destiny now. It consumes your time and gives you nothing for it.

    Be aware,dont get this dlc.    … Full Review »

    I am not even going to call this a DLC, this is, and there is no other term for it, a "payed update".

    I have never seen less work put into    I am not even going to call this a DLC, this is, and there is no other term for it, a "payed update".

    I have never seen less work put into the anything in my history of gaming that wasn't for free.

    Though I have to say I am legitimately surprised they didn't slap a $20 like they did for CoO, that still doesn't excuse the fact that you have to pay $30 just to get such a lazy piece of content that barely added anything new to the game just in a somewhat different flavor.

    I would say "at least it has matchmaking", but there is the fact that you you can't even select from orbit (which is odd because it puts you into a matchmaking loading screen when you select it) and even then I have seen more than enough matches where one player was left all alone and never got any partners, or was thrown into a match that was ending in a failure.    … Full Review »
