    Preordered destiny 2 for $120 with the season pass when it first came out. It said it included 4 expansions in the season pass ended up only getting 2 expansions despite what the preorder said and every other expansion after that bungie wants to charge the price of a full game for each new expansion.

It said it included 4 expansions in the season pass ended up only getting 2 expansions despite what the preorder said and every other expansion after that bungie wants to charge the price of a full game for each new expansion. Decent game but I don’t like being lied to and ripped off so haven’t touched destiny or destiny 2 in probably 4 years now! Way to go bungie your own greed has ruined your loyal following of destiny. Wonder how many people actually still play this game and waste their money on all these bogus expansions they release. Never again will I pre-order a game because if you haven’t noticed, every game since the 2000’s has been absolute trash and a complete money grab either full of micro transactions or selling additional content. What happened to just making great games for when they release? I know I won’t be wasting anymore money on buying a ps5 or all these trash overhyped games they make these days. They all suck, I would be happy to pull out the n64 again and play those games that are actually fun. Expand

    Boring combat, confusing system and frankly illegal paywall setup to maximise profit over consumer.
    I've poured maybe 50 hours of repetitive gameplay into this with 0 growth as I refuse (and frankly don't understand) how to use their billing system as everything seems to have 4 or more separate charges to work!

Bungie are just awful developers. One Trick ponies. They can do gameplay that's it. They can't do stories, they can't do anything else very well.

    As for the expansions you can play, well as long as you haven't done forsaken, you can still play it. I couldn't but someone said you could, and if you have only like 3 missions are available (1 per week). just really bad. Shadow keep isn't even worth mentioning i mean that expansion was so weak with content i'm surprised they don't call that the base game. They have amended the base game start to try and compensate but it isn't well done or thought through (typical bungie let's be honest, story threads are not their strongest point). Beyond Light was dull, because - same enemies, same stuff that you've been doing, very little diferrent.

    Witch queen slightly better (filled with the usual mission breaking quests even now in 2023) and "lightfall" the new one is lifeless, again same enemies... although ONE, one new type but not interesting enough to go "yes finally". i mean i'm not sure why this is even still going. DO NOT waste money on this. Don't let bungie keep going.... they make ubisoft and ea blush.

One time it was Activision that wanted money for content. Activision gone and the company is on its own so now its them. Expand

    The gunplay and classes are great, however that's honestly it. It's just replaying the same content over and over again, pvp is a joke and the pve content locks you into requiring a squad which is super boring cause they just use whatever gun/combo instantly melts the boss which makes the devs have to stack the boss with either more HP or a dumb can't get hurt mechanic. Very disappointing.

    Ok if you haven't burned out on the looter-shooter-FPS-RPG genre, but be warned... you must buy expansions or else you can not accurately level past certain points in the game, and every time there is an expansion it's over in about 6 hours.

    I used to love playing Destiny 2 but took a hiatus for a while, I still purchased all the DLC because I knew I would get back into the game. What a **** suprise when the other day I tried carrying on from where I left off and was informed that it's nearly all been Vaulted away. All that money that I put into this game is gone. **** you BUNGIE you Corporate Parasites I want my money BACK!

    f this game for their stupid triumph seal trophy. Played **** pvp forever to complete a seal and I don't get credit because apparently only some outdated seals that may not even be completable anymore count. Fire whoever doesn't know basic English and give me the hours of my life back.

    Also, it's buggy af and good luck competing with mouse and keyboard players if you have a controller.

Even the tutorial has broken two times for me in different seasons completing making my character unplayable. Also one of their paid DLCs isn't even DLC anymore. All the years of content don't exist. Give me my money back you pos game.

    The game does not have a campaign, you need to buy a DLC to have a story in the game, that is of course true unless fuxking devs delete the DLC for some reason, then you cant play. I was a big fan of Destiny 1, but now all i have is disappointment

    It was a great game before it became free to play. Then the story was shot to pieces and the treadmill of grind was magnified. To make matters worse the end goals are moved each season and your previous achievements are made worthless.
    Overall if you have never played it it is worth a blast but don’t stay in the game for more than one season as the rests take away any worth.

    That pretty much sums up their attitude. Why make Fresh content when people spend money at Eververse? Why make fresh content when they can just RESELL content from Destiny OG and early D2 content. After taking it away first, of course.

Destiny is the most frustrating and unrewarding game I have ever played. I kept supporting Bungie in hopes management would die off or quit and some fresh people, that were actual gamers, would join the upper ranks. Unfortunately that is never going to happen. Eventually Destiny will become a mashup of desperate streamers and naive newbies wandering around in a gamer's desert asking for water(content). FYI, you can buy a water bottle at the Bungie Store. Note: it is shipped empty.

    I fully understand locking new maps, skins, and missions behind a paywall, I understand the developer desire to make money but a game should NEVER lock abilities and weapons that other real life people can Lord over you behind a pay wall, it is not a fair process.

    Bungie allows people who pay extra to get devastating weapons like Dead Man's Tale that can easily kill and frustrated players who do not desire or are unable to pay for this upgrade.

    They also add inherent class abilities available to anyone who pays, such as in The Beyond Light expansion with the ability to completely freeze other players.

    Not being able to move AT ALL is a huge advantage and makes the game unplayable. It's frustrating to have such huge disadvantages ADDED to the base game which can not be overcome unless you pay more money. If you have already paid money for Destiny 2, you should not be forced to pay more to compete effectively.

    Either every PVP player should get all new the abilities and have the potential to access all new weapons, OR players should only play with people with the same abilities and weapons, OR give us our money back.

    I can no longer play comfortably as I could when I originally bought the game, and changing the effectiveness of people who pay to make it easier for them and harder for those who don't is a very fraudulent and reprehensible act.

Repetitive season grinding that they took from other games, they lack innovation or any original idea since the concept of the game. Bungie is a company of people who just look up ideas and copy them. Even their enemies are copies of Halo with different textures.

    I wish there was a true blue Destiny killer released so my friends would stop playing this and I can quit playing this horrible game. I wish people would stop supporting bad decisions.

    Even if Bungie backtracks on some of these horrendous missteps, there’s evidence that the dev team is either flailing around without a clear idea of the experience they want to present, or even worse, they’re happy to offer the least amount of mediocre content possible until the player base starts pushing back. When free-to-play titles like Warframe and Let it Die seem monumentally more generous and offer vastly more entertainment value than a triple-A sixty dollar release built with a budget large enough to feed whole continents, it’s clear that something has gone horribly wrong.

    It’s this sense of streamlined player experience that really defines Destiny 2. Where the first game had you grinding for hours just to experience increasingly diminishing returns, this is a sequel that trims away its processor’s frustrations, firmly putting fun first.

    Destiny 2 is tough to compare to other shooters or games, but it is evidently a better title than part 1. The campaign is longer, the progression makes more sense, the structure is more satisfying and the sheen and splendor on the various planets entices even more. Destiny is comparable with its predecessor after the add-on The Taken King, and is therefore a more solid foundation for the coming months of content.
