    Curse of Osiris is a beautiful piece to an already great base game. The story is a nice addition to the lore I've been wanting to dig into, the art direction is outstanding, season 2 provides awesome unlocks and Osiris provides cool exotics. I don't like that it was $20, but there is good content to be found.

And i'm looking forward to the new post campaign grind where they have finally added powerful gear for doing heroic story missions daily and 3 strikes per week. And just like Mario which has a 97 on here despite literally the same story they've been doing for 30 years, it's the crispy and solid gameplay with good friends that always puts destiny at the top of what i want to play.… Expand

    I am really enjoying it. It's a little short on content, but does a lot to add to the lore and over all feel of the game. This DLC essentially adds an additional planet, a 3 hour campaign, a couple new playlists, 4 new adventures, a couple new PVP maps, about 15 new exotics, and a "raid lair".

    Campaign is not long as all other pre-year 2 expansion (crota and house of wolves had both small campaigns). But that look of mercury before the vex it´s just unbelievable beautiful. Destiny 2 have a lot of things to be fixed, but in the overall it´s stil a good game. Strange thing is people complained that it was the same game as D1, and now they complain that things should be like D1.

    The graphics and art are superb throughout. The addition of Masterworks weapons added some much needed grind to the sequel of this series. And the use of armor ornaments to save on vault space was a brilliant idea.

    Yes, the campaign is short. That's a valid point. And yes they reuse story missions as strikes, but that in itself is not a bad thing, that actually make more sense than how Destiny 1 just had totally unrelated strikes that weren't part of the story... the only problem with reusing story missions as strikes is that there wasn't much of either.

    And yes, Eververse is over-stepping it's bounds by putting most loot in a looter/shooter behind a pay wall, and having the best cosmetic exotics only available for those who purchase.

    It's not perfect, so I don't give it a perfect score, but it's not nearly as bad as other people are saying. Especially if you've ever liked any raid in Destiny's history, or if you like co-op PvE shooters. The raid lair is a superb encounter and it was time gated and not available to play on launch day of the DLC, which is normal. But I think a lot of the negativity is coming from people already upset about the Destiny sequel, and people who play Destiny but don't raid (ikr, why?) and people who haven't done the new raid lair which was the main content of the DLC.    … Expand

Hitting the new cap of 335 probably won't take you too long either. Enemies have scaled to the new levels, as have the events (strikes, raids, etc).
    Honestly, I feel that many of the negative reviews are from people who already were not happy with the base game or didn't have the game at all.
    Bottom line: if you've enjoyed the base game, the DLC will feel worth it to you. More of the same game play with new weapons, armour and activities (as mentioned above).

    We get 17 Exotics (armors and weapons included) and some of them are the very best D1 exotics which is so exciting.

    Heroic Adventures are great, the adventures are beautiful and one of them (Bug in the system) is so well designed. Haven't played Strikes yet - so no comments there. Heroic Strikes made a comeback and are good.

    D2: Curse of Osiris is good. The story won’t blow your mind and the level design leaves a lot to be desired.

The story campaign is short, which is actually a good thing because if you’re playing any permutation of Destiny 1 or 2 because you like the story then you just don’t like stories. You hate them. Great story telling is not what Bungie is about in the Destiny Franchise. Complaining about the narrative length or quality is a bit like whining that the Saw movies are crappy rom coms. I know we all wanted it to be Halo set in another universe but I’m sorry, dear reader, Bungie went in another direction. Destiny is far more akin to Borderlands than Halo, and I’m okay with that because I loved me some Borderlands.

    So, is Curse of Osiris is worth playing? Yes. Why? Because it does more of what Destiny does well: Skin soldiers in weird robo-samuri costumes and toss them into a world where lasers, rockets, flaming hammers, lightening grenades, swords (with ammo!) and shield tosses a la Captain America all coexist beautifully for a single noble purpose: Make stuff explode... to save the universe. Or something. Curse of Osiris gives me more shiny skins and expody tools with all the amazing sounds and animations to go with them. Mercury is pretty. You should go there. Vex trampolines are the best. Like Moana’s dad says, “It’s all you need.”

    Do I wish it had a better story? Sure. Do I think Bungie could be more creative with their settings? You bet. I really, truly, deeply believe that Bungie has twice now blown the opportunity to really make planets unique by introducing differing gravity effects. Maybe the atmosphere amplifies or nerfs specific weapon types. How about weather variations? Or parts of the planet are only accessible during specific times of day due to hazardous solar flairs or raining sulfur or carnivorous plants or it’s closed for a Vex renovation. Whatever. I just feel like all the planets were built by KB Homes but had different interior decorators.

    Despite it’s apparent failings, D2 and by extension Curse of Osiris is still worth playing and will likely hoard hours of your life that could have been spent with your children, which makes it a good game but bad parenting. As for story, in a world with Nuclear Korean dictators, tweeting presidents, lechorous Hollywood sex hounds, hurricaines, fires, and MSG I’ll gladly plop down $20 to make the universe a safer place by making stuff explode.    … Expand

    I'll start good, it had nice visuals, it had a sense of connectivity with the Vex and Osiris and all things confusing and futuristic, and that's where the good points end. What this expansion failed to achieve was any sense of direction, any reason to play it, I'm sure if this had never been released no one would have missed it.

    The idea of knowing Osiris seemed like a awesome concept an idea we needed but what we got was not what we needed. The story bounced into mixed confusion not really knowing what was going on and the ultimate boss fight feeling like a minor enemy to overcome, I mean for God sake we were aided in defeating it's not exactly a challenge.

    The Vex, they were ok but again seemed minor, less important the more you went into the story and the premise of the game.

    This expansion was awful it failed the expectation, having more lore, more challenge, unique items hell even a Vex God would have given this a fresh experience something I would have enjoyed playing. I know soon as I finished the story and the little side quests I haven't been back to Mercury and its a shame because it has something about it that was never used and was bogged down into something we will all soon forget.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This DLC is an improvement on the mod system of Destiny 2, the Raid Lair (Eater of Worlds) is in my opinion a more enjoyable endgame activity than Leviathan was, new cosmetic version of armors were introduce, some new exotic weapons, the only exotic Ghost Shell reward for gameplay (it something-ish), the campaign boss (Panoptes) were unique in term of design and lore function, actual purchasable items from vendors, and a slightly more usable social space compare to The Farm.

    The story was alright but it could be better, the supposedly protagonist is still a mute (don't know how or why and Bungie isn't responding to any questions on this topic) and during some cutscenes deliver some of the most awkward silent moment in gaming history (probably just me though), and the weapons forged by the game only still functional foundry is meh (useable and look cool but there are better options).

    Microtransaction, more desirable loots were place inside Destiny 2 microtransaction store than the game itself plus this DLC. Destiny 2 since launch seem to be suffering from an endgame activity/loot problem and this DLC doesn't seem to be able to alleviate this problem very effectively on the contrary this DLC put more potential to be endgame loots inside the microtransaction store (Eververse) and RNG lootboxes. The only way to obtain the loots from this microtransaction endgame is to deal (in some way) with the microtransaction store and hope that you're feeling lucky at the time.

    Personal recommendation, go on Youtube and watch gameplay footages of this DLC before deciding whether or not to buy it (don't watch review as such videos may be subjected to bias).

    This is just my opinion on this DLC which is subject to change depend on how Bungie handle it and I'll finalise once the next DLC launch.    … Expand

The campaign is underwhelming with the bulk of your time spent wondering when the good stuff is supposed to show up. The Infinite Forest is a poorly executed distraction which only serves as an annoying hurdle while traveling from point A to point B. The bulk of which can be rushed through without so much as firing a single shot. It's only when you get to a locked gate that you are forced to interact with an enemy or three to proceed. The whole idea of the Infinite Forest sounds good on paper, but in practice it's a mess of poor game design. It seems, however, that the world designers and artists had a field day with this one. Being thrown into the past and getting to see a long lost version of a certain planet (no spoilers here) is breathtaking and beautifully realized, at least for the brief time you spend there. Don't expect any real character engagement here, as the titular Osiris only rears his head in a stunning cut scene at the start and a bit towards the end. I still don't know much about Osiris after having played through this roughly two hour experience. He remains a frustrating mystery. Overall, the game itself isn't offensive as far as how well it does at being a video game, but it certainly isn't exciting.

    P.S. A little word of warning: Bungie has level locked certain endgame activities. These new level caps cannot be obtained without purchasing Curse of Osiris essentially blocking DESTINY 2 owners who have not picked up this expansion from achieving every trophy/achievement due to not being able to participate in these activities. This fact has contributed to my final score.

The new sharable space is small, the campaign is very brief (MAYBE 2 hours in length for most gamers) and just falls flat altogether. The raid can remedy some of the negativity felt after playing this piece of DLC but there will be a significant population of Destiny 2 players that either will never step into the raid or never fully push through it before the online population fades like it did weeks after Destiny 2's launch. It seems that, despite offering a well-tuned shooter experience, Destiny 2 is in the hands of a studio that just cannot land anything well in the MMO space nor does it take Destiny far enough into the RPG space to make its character development feel significant. Weapons have very little variation in effectiveness and, while loot drops are somewhat slower and the climb to 335 will take quite a bit of time, players will likely give up on this Curse of Osiris long before they complete all it has to offer. Bungie is seriously damaging its franchise and following in Destiny 1's footsteps with poor DLC. Had it not been for The Taken King, Destiny would have the worst DLC track record for a AAA game I've ever played. I really hope there's more effort coming from Bungie. I'm close to abandoning this game entirely, especially with promising titles on the horizon, such as Anthem.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 2 hours of story that doesn't even make much sense. The whole marketing behind the DLC was talking about how you finally get to meet Osiris. Well you do...in the final cutscene. You see Osiris in one other cutscene at the beginning, but you've seen most of it through trailers. Then when you beat the campaign, and you meet Osiris, he disappears again. So much for bringing Osiris into the game.

    The gameplay is still Destiny. Nothing changes there. The biggest gripe I have is the story. $20 for a 2 hour story, and minimal additions. This DLC feels smaller than Dark Below from Destiny 1, and yet it costs the same.

    Bungie has taken a task that is too big for them. The problem with Destiny 1 was not enough man power to do 2 small DLCs + one Large expansion a year.

And I say that Osiris is "seemingly central" to the story, but we pretty much don't see anything of him until the very end of the content, where he appears in a small 2-minute cutscene, and that's it.

    The story missions focus on our attempt to rescue Osiris from the Infinite Forest, a vex-constructed series of endless simulations within a crystalline labyrinth. It would have been pretty cool if the name lived up to itself. But almost every mission involves running through the same areas with slightly different enemies and the occasional mish-mash of jumping platforms. You don't even need to kill the enemies most of the time. You can simply run past them and through the several "locked" doors (that you can open at the push of a button) to get to the end of the mission. Of course, sometimes you do come across an actual locked door that can't be opened until you kill the orange-bar Daemon, but that takes all of ten seconds. One of the missions is even a complete reskin of the Pyramidion strike from the vanilla game. All I kept thinking as I went through repetitive mission after repetitive mission was "please hurry up and let me get this over with already". It just isn't fun. It's a chore.

    Also frustrating is the inclusion of what we were told were new strikes. These strikes are not separate from the story missions, but are actual story missions themselves. It feels very cheap when you put yourself into one of the new Heroic Strike playlists and think you're going to get a new strike, but are then subjected to a story mission you've already done with slightly different dialogue.

    All up it took me about three and half hours on my own to complete everything. Nothing like this shallow cash grab should be worth what it costs. The worst thing of all is that only after three months of the vanilla game being released, Bungie has locked prestige content behind the DLC paywall, meaning that if you don't purchase the DLC, you can no longer run prestige/heroic Nightfall or Raid activites. It's disgusting and Bungie should be ashamed of themselves.    … Expand

This was called the Warlock expansion.. We didn't get to learn anything about where warlocks got their powers... and where are the giant Black Triangle ships we saw at the end of Destiny 2's campaign? Is that gonna be the next DLC? I sure hope so cause that certainly sounds better. If you don't wanna waste $20, save yourself the money and wait for the next DLC cause you've really missed nothing. Think you'll get your moneys worth watching someone on Youtube Play the campaign. It'll only take as long as an average Movie, and with the $20 you saved you could actually got to a Cinema and enjoy yourself. 4/10 (Great Setting, that Bungie once again did nothing with)    … Expand

    Beautiful setpieces and art design as to be expected but offers nothing to the core gameplay of Destiny 2 or the story. It doesn't fix any of the glaring issues of the game and is just more Destiny. More recycled content, reused areas, the strikes are literally a part of the story and the majority of new content is in microtransactions. Don't buy this if you haven't already.

Level 25 done, story done, adventures done, first heroic adventure done. This was all done solo, I imagine in a group I could have been done in half the time. I certainly wasn't blowing through it just to be done, I was taking my time and exploring the Forest while playing each level. I open up my Verse 1 weapon package upon completing the heroic adventure and see the instructions telling me to go farm the same tired public events we've been farming for months. The same public events Bungie is leaning on heavily as "end game"? Ugh.

    I have no reason to care about visiting Mercury. The daily heroic adventure just isn't a big enough draw. The forge weapons, since they're mostly known now, aren't all that impressive either. Osiris as a character was a complete letdown, Ikora's disintegration from Destiny 1's uber-Warlock to Destiny 2's emo-Warlock is pushed further, both Ghost's and Brother Vance's dialog sounds like 8th grader fan fiction. The playable area of Mercury is 75% the size of the playable area of Titan, previously the smallest playable area in Destiny 2. Since power level scaling remains ridiculously strict, I'm already finding myself burned out on the power level grind. When I know that I'm doing the same damage currently at 319 that I'll be doing at 335, who cares?

    Four hours into this new DLC and I'm already back to the "log in Tuesday, do milestones, log out until next week" routine (with exception to logging in maybe once on the weekend to pick up clan engrams). Tonight I played The Division for the first time in a few months and had infinitely more fun with their 1.8 update than I did with Bungie's Finite Forest.

    And how about Bungie shipping out a new exotic weapon that has presently turned Crucible into the Ballroom scene from the original Ghostbusters? Look up Prometheus Lens on Youtube and see for yourself. Don't cross those streams, y'all.

    I love Destiny 2 and would rate it a solid 9. I have 3 level 20+ characters and 100 hours in the game, but this expansion is an embarrassment as a paid add-on. The publisher is to blame here more-so than the developers for pushing out paid content way too soon in order to make the end of year financials more impressive.

    Pro’s:
    -Gorgeous graphics and ambiance
    -The adaptive 4K on PS4 Pro really does make a difference
    -Some additional campaign content
    -The ONE public event is pretty cool

    Con’s
    -NO HDR on PS4 Pro
    -Campaign is about 3 hours if you’re slow like me
    -Story is lazily written, under developed and completely uninteresting (not to mention utterly confusing)
    -New planet is absurdly small with only 1 public event and 1 Lost Sector and sparrows are disabled
    -The expansion literally breaks the base game by introducing a totally OP weapon as well as locking base players out of content they previous had access to
    -I’m now getting random disconnects I never had before (regression)

    I had zero hate for Destiny 2 before. Actually, I loved it and promoted it intensely in my circles. This paid content has severely tarnished the reputation of the brand. Activision: make this right or you risk jeopardizing your most valuable franchise. This was a very rushed cash-grab and you’re being called out by your customers. Maybe this add-on would be viewed in a moderately less harsh light if the game wasn’t already monetizing loot boxes and nerfing XP, but as it stands, Destiny 2 is quickly starting to be mentioned in the same sentences as “Battlefront 2”. That’s a real shame and definitely not the type of product you want to be associated with.    … Expand

    The story was short and very bland. There is no explanation as to why the DLC is even called the "Curse" of Osiris and it adds nothing meaningful to the game's lore.

    The new area is laughably small. Many players have taken to the theory that it was once an 8v8 PvP map. It is so small that the game prohibits you from using your vehicle to traverse it too quickly.

    The majority of new additions are locked behind Microtransactions. While you can earn many of these items for free through leveling up the sheer amount of them makes that a daunting task for anyone who isn't willing to drop more money on something they haven't already paid for.

    It's hard to see any single update fixing Destiny 2 for those who are unhappy with it. CoO was in development before the base game even launched so with it came more of the same poor decisions that crippled the base game. While there were a few sandbox/QoL updates bundled with the DLC they did little to improve the state of the game. The next DLC is at least another 3 months away and Bungie doesn't appear to be motivated to deliver anything but minor, seasonal updates between DLCs.

    Worse than not adding anything significant to the game is that CoO actually removes access to content in the base game for those who forego purchasing what is, in my opinion, a lackluster DLC. Players looking to do Trials and/or the Prestige raid will be forced to buy the DLC or lose access to something they already paid for and had access to prior to the release of CoO.

    To sum this up: The art team delivers a beautiful shell for an empty product. CoO is not worth your time or money. If you want to experience the best parts of this DLC you can find screenshots or videos of the environments online. Destiny 2 will remain a mess of a game for the foreseeable future(not even the Vex can change that).    … Expand

This is a very story driven DLC that adds another patrol area and some story missions. Now this will be said with the knowledge that they are supposed to add things in the coming weeks to fix alot of the problems the game has, but very little was changed with the original patch. As much as I love the gameplay here, I'm already done with the main story mode missions on all 3 of my characters, and that took about 4 or 5 hours total. Some of those missions are super tedious but they are saved with a very good boss fight. I will be changing this review in the next month once all of the changes that Bungie has promised us are put out. At this point however, I still see very little reason to come back and play this on a regular basis. I believe that the backlash over lack of things to do in the end game caught Bungie off guard and they werent' prepared the sh**show that they came with it and are now scrambling. We will see where they go with this here. The only caveat I can give players is that, with the original Destiny, the game truly didn't get good until the second or third expansion. It's a hard pill to swallow but all of the potential is here to be a very good, maybe even a great game, if Bungie can figure out what they want to do with it going forward. They are caught in a very precarious spot atm. If they can figure out what works and what doesn't and are able to apply that going forward, this could be an amazing game.

The level cap increase was pointless, power levels are even more pointless, even with the increase; you are never powerful (as of this writing i'm 311 and heroic strikes are "tooled" for 270)

    The new Heroic adventures are way over tooled as are Heroic Strikes. In the former's case, throwing the ridiculous timer/buff-debuff from night strikes on them makes for terrible design for single player excursions.

    I'm supposed to combat the enemies within the adventure no? So when you stick me with the elemental round robin debuff thing on the "Up&Up" adventure making combat drag down to either:

    a)hot swapping a weapon every 30secs to the right ele attunement (ridiculous and tedious)
    b)Deal subpar kinetic damage to basic enemies with giant health bars. (tedious and just silly)
    c)ignore all enemies but just the one you need to kill

    i'm going with (C), which defeats the purpose of PLAYING THE GAME! Then throw a 5 min timer to flash clear the last leg of the adventure when the whole time i've avoided nebulous enemies because the hindrances to the adventure steered me to do just that. But NOPE, MURDER EVERYTHING NOW! Did I mention that two shots kill you and the respawn forces you to lose precious seconds running back to just die right away anyways. Heroic Strikes are on the right track. They are basically night strikes without the timer and silly debuffs....too bad the gear is bunk.

    World content on Mercury is short, boring and monotonous. Raiding in Destiny 2 is pointless and the raid lair is more of the same. As for the rest of the package....there isn't much to look at.

    The adventure from the launch was really good. As it was my first foray into the title I really enjoyed it. Once I hit the top though; it got old, it got old real quick.

    -A huge broken problem- Prometheus Lens literally a death star in PVP way too strong so Bungie, being the geniuses they are made it available to Xur this Friday so now EVERYONE uses it. PvP didn't just get broken it literally is unplayable now especially to the poor souls who haven't upgraded (downgraded) to Curse of Osiris.

    In short, Destiny 1 was a complete flop up until The Taken King expansion. Bungie has literally learned nothing from this. They just slow feed us things we have had before that were better a few years ago. You can tell now that money is more important to them than the fans or making something of value. WIthin a couple days I'm back to being bored again with less money in my wallet and now I'm just feeling angry and ripped off.

    Remember, it took 3 expansions (small ones, see what I'm saying about Bungie doing the same thing to Destiny 1 to Destiny 2) til The Taken King came out. By then, players spent $60 for vanilla Destiny, $30 for the expansion pass (House of Wolves, Dark Below) and another $40 for The Taken King totaling $130 for a game just to make Destiny 1 not a complete flop. We are being taken for a ride and IT NEEDS TO STOP!!!

    - The villain is another generic robot guy who is going to take over the world if he isnt stopped. From what I have seen of him so far he does not talking and just looms about awkwardly.
    - I hate the mute guardian. Why not give him a voice?
    - Why can't I play as Osiris, play alongside Osiris, or just generally see him a bit more?
    - The infinite forest should be renamed 'Infinite Mediocrity'.

    So im not completely cruel I will give it a 2/10. Graphics are ok, sound design is fantastic, and I do like a higher level cap as im a sucker for numbers.

    But this is NOT worth the money that I spent on it! Compare this to Witcher 3 Blood and Wine which is the same price and you will see what I mean by that. This will be the last time I buy an expansion in advance. Slam your balls in a car door for a better experience.    … Expand

    I have played better content for free from other developers, and that is a problem.

    Almost forgot, there is a bounty of new content (ships, ghosts, shaders, sparrows) but it's all behind their Eververse micro-transactions. Instead of making the game play rewarding, they decided on a shameless cash-grab. Again.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. too little , too late , too much promised , too little delivered.. this seems to be the overall business scheme of bungie with D2.

    when they cut ties with the old Games engine, everyone was relieved since the old engine was not working as intended.. I thought that what we saw in rise of iron with the different timelines (old comsodrome and new"siva" cosmodrome" was finally the kind of story progression that the game so deperately needed, and with the removal of the old gen consoles the game finally could have more of those progression lines.. Luke Smith and Mark Noseworthy even said that the Farm will evolve over time and expand.. everyone knows now that this was either a lie to mislead the players or the engine was again falling short on ability. Still Bungie got the benefit of the doubt that they wanted to play it safe this time and deliver a solid foundation to build on. Curse of Osiris should show the games full potential with the ramdomized infinite forest, a new raid (activity) new improvements , new social space and more..

    turned out , it was again overhyped and underdelivered. The infinite forrest is not so infinite. Bungie played with the idea and mislead the players into thinking they would get a Diablo III Greater Rift experience or a Warframe Style, randomized mission tileset, when it turned out to be THREE missions ("Adventures") that will take place in this area, while the complete area is non accesscible otherwise. So much for "infinite".

    the "social space" has not been created as a social space, since you can clearly see that your charcacter is still in FPS mode and not in 3rd person social space view. You can even novabomb Brother Vance. The patrol area was most likely designed to be a PvP map for vehicle combat , its horribly small and you cant even summon your sparrow to hide how small it is.

    the "story" missions are extremely short, reuse assets from old content and you can skip 90% of the enemies and just walk towards the end while the enemies spawn behind you, so you can safely reach the checkpoint.. in the first mission they even despawn when you reach the infinite forest door. Given the poorly executed "story" around Osiris, one of the most notorious and controversial figures of the destiny world., the entire lore was either ignored, or the "writer" was unaware of it. or the new direction to have destiny understandable for 6 year olds has taken over the last bits of Joe statens old plot. I Would say Fanfiction would have done abetter job in writing this story than Bungie did.

    the Endboss fight is picking up the Spark and delivering it to the Rift in a straight line of about 20 meters you can slowly walk there, and after you dunked and ignited the Rift you have to shoot a giant glowing eye you will have trouble missing even blindfolded. do this three times and you are good for the end cutscene where osiris briefly says "cool", and then walks back into the "not so" -Infinite forrest..

    They even made the enigmatic brother vance who held the trials of Osiris in D1 into a comical sidekick and desperate Fanboi and Leader of the Cult of Osiris in a Narrative that defies the logic of the sheer size of the followers of Osiris. I am more than sure that Brother vance was NOT supposed to be like that and someone at Bungie thought it is funny to picture him like this.

    whats left are old D1 exotics that have been brought into D2 with lesser power, still slow moving guardians and slow charging abilities and finally they removed a lot of content frommVanillla D2 users to force them into buying the dlc..

    i have no idea who at Activision holds a gun at bungies head to force them into making those weird and stupid descisions or if Bungie just cares more about short term gains than about the game itself..
    lets see how that pans out.. in this current state, Destiny 2 has become unplayable. for vanilla Players and too boring to play for dlc players if you are not thrilled to play the ONE public event on Mercury about 60 ! Times to unlock one of the mediocre "vex weapons" you simply aquire from brother vance.. ah yes there is also ONE lost sector..

    (oh i forgot the "raid" ... one jumping puzzle and 2 stage bossfight".. thats it.. awesome.. isnt it.? and you get the exact same rewards as before #twotokensandablue

    addendum: i notices over the past weeks that Mercury has become obsolete once you finished the quite useless "vex" weapons.. it was sitting in my destinator and i was not visiting it once.. now with the new reset you get one new problem..

    people who did not buy the dlc (yet, since a lot of people are waiting for a discount that lowers the price for the dlc to be at par with the real value of it) cant complete about 50% of the weekly milestones, flashpoint is Mercury, not working, heroic strikes do not work at all for non dlc users, so basically the non dlc users are cut down a lot.    … Expand

    Bungie has gone from being the greatest video game developer of all time to absolute trash. The fact Destiny 1 post taken king was a masterpiece and now we have to deal with this shallow garbage is incredibly sad.

    To list just a few complaints of why this game is unplayable trash, crucial missteps that the DLC does not even remotely attempt to fix:

    1 - removal of kiosks/collection

    2 - no strike scoring

    3 - cannot replay story missions at-all

    4 - no armor perks

    5 - no strike - specific loot

    7 - cannot select specific PvP modes

    8 - no PvP private matches

    9 - no rift/capture the flag mode in pvp

    10 - no rumble

    11 - no salvage

    12 - no mayhem

    13 - no 6 v 6 or 3 v 3

    14 - horrendous armor designs compared to Destiny 1

    15 - no sparrow racing

    16 - no machine guns

    17 - no customizable class trees

    18 - no record books

    19 - no equipment segregation in the vault

    20 - exotic weapon quests take inventory slots

    21 - no visible reputation level

    22 - no bounties

    23 - no ammo synths
    24 - weapon / armor have only one active perk 25 - shaders can only be applied once 26 - no connection meters viable 27 - no grimoire 28 - juvenile 6th grade level writing thanks to terrible new writing staff/lead 29 - 2 primaries and 1 heavy might work for pvp but it completely ruins the pve experience and means you will have to tickle bosses to death. (The game has literally become a boring chore to play because of this change) 30 - no dedicated servers (combine this with skill based machmaking and you get hell) 31 - no ranked pvp 32 - not enough vault space to hold 1 of every legendary gun/armor so the game can't even be a collectathon like the devs intended 33 - no raid ship/sparrow/cosmetics out of eververse 34 - exp throttling 35 - terrible weapon mod system that could have been great 36 - all armor is cosmetic, raid armor doesn't even give you raid based perks 37 - doing prestige activities after you've done them once is a waste of time since the rewards are terrible 38 - no hype. all future dlc will bring are more story missions and strikes and raids, and without proper destiny 1 level rpg elements all incentive to do these things are out the window. 39 - exotics are terrible, nothing truly fun or unique about them 40 - no vehicles in multiplayer, something destiny 1 had 41 - no modifiers on heroic strikes, proving bungie hates fun and variety Please do not waste your money on this monstrosity of a DLC that addresses none of the problems that plagued destiny 2.

I also believed this because High Moon Studios and Vicarious visions would joining Bungie, which I believed would help them create more quality content.

    I was wrong with this belief and I honestly cannot believe this steaming pile was made by the developers of great games like Myth, Marathon, and Halo. This is nothing but a cheap mock up to get money from the fans and an tribute to the modern day version of Bungie, which has become incompetent and greedy all the while developing a Superiority Complex, and treating their fans like idiotic, living ATM machines.

    But why is this expansions so bad?

    2 Hours to complete the main campaign that is boring and stagnant.
    Adventures with timers in them (timers which the fans have been asking Bungie to remove

Short campaign, no meaning, poor and childish dialogue and greed (since Destiny 2 Vanilla the main character – Guardian-you – didn’t say more than three words and in DLC: no one single word).

    Disappointed!!! A DLC that as is, is up there with House of Wolves as the worst Destiny add-on to date. It's a stop-gap solution meant to spackle some of the game's cracks, and the real coat of paint hasn't quite come yet. Destiny 2 is still a fantastic shooter at heart, Bungie just hasn't figured out how to actually incorporate all of the Frankensteined MMO parts.

    How? How can you possibly pass this off as a 20$ DLC ? It is a 20$ update is all! There is literally 1.5 to 2 hours or "new" campaign content, half of which doesn't even take place on Mercury!

    Garbage. I can't even participate in activities I was entitled to last week unless I fork up the cash for this new "installment;" they're gated behind the DLC paywall and it's unacceptable. Not only did they release this sorry excuse for an update and charge $20 for it, but they still haven't addressed any of the major feedback and criticism points the whole community is making.

    I’ve been playing Destiny since day one and with all the promise Bungie showed with releases like the Taken King and Rise of Iron, Bungie has gone all EA with Destiny 2. I’m not sticking around hoping that the game will be fixed, I’m out. Bungie’s intentions are to casualise the **** out of this franchise and milk the audience with microtransactions and I want no part of it. Such a shame.

    Fool me twice, I had it coming, but now I know what to expect from D3.
    Bungie is charging players to replay content they already bought at launch (prestige raid, etc.), which has a knock-on effect of locking players out of getting their platinum. Want platinum? Buy the DLC.

    Curse of Osiris, beyond the story content and (I hope) the raid lair, is a huge let-down. The infinite forest underperformed and is not what Bungie led us to believe it would be. The patrol zone is one area, and one public event. There is no variation and no enjoyment from it beyond an hour.
    Only a handful of QoL updates will be fixed in this DLC/update. We can sugarcoat this as Bungie listening all we like, but in truth, we're being milked of our cash on a game that, like its predecessor, is an unpolished mess. It has the potential to be incredible, but at every turn there's a problem with the basic design of the game's features, progression, reward, and replayability.
    If by next September D2 has vastly improved and is on-par (or better, hopefully!) than D1 this time six months ago, then by all means enjoy the game! We all want to enjoy it. But as a player who wants to enjoy the game from the start, I will not be buying D3 in its first year. Instead I will buy it a year later, with a DLC bundle. Cheaper, and with no year 1 salt.
    There are many other problems I have with Bungie, from a development standpoint as well as D2 itself, but that's for another thread.

    Unless you’ve already bought this as part of a season pass, don’t waste your money on Curse of Osiris until Bungie actually changes direction, and I’m not talking about executing their proposed changes which painfully miss the mark yet again. The base game of Destiny 2 is a great shooter for 50-60 hours of solid content on your first play through of a redemptive story. But there is no endgame to keep going beyond that and there isn’t anything packaged into this DLC than enhances that initial experience. At this point, if you’re desperate for a looter/shooter then either fire up Destiny 1 again, watch Anthem videos on YouTube and hope for a brighter Q4 2018, or else maybe go give the Division a chance. It had a dumpster fire launch but can be had on the cheap now and I hear it’s become a very good game in its current state.
