In general, Destiny tells an interesting sci-fi story, and the added emotional impact from the story makes you care. Bungie is good at this, just look at Halo. More than D1, D2 lays foundations for a long running series. It plays really good, and the art design is some of the best I've seen in a video game. Unlike D1, there is probably something here for most people, though not everyone will sink 300 hours into it. And that is ok.

    The only thing preventing this from being a 10 is the expectancy that DLCs will make the game unplayable unless you keep paying Bungie. That is a big problem.

    I am gonna be honest, at launch destiny 2 archived what destiny 1 couldn't in three years... make me proud of this game
    Let's start with the story, it was great, fun, well written and told. Characters were very good, with personalities and goals. One bad part about it was a weak exposition of the vanguards crises, they exposed it very well tbh, but the exposition we had to this crisis was pretty short (we only had it present in 1-2 missions per character). The mission design was marvelous, all mission didn't feel empty like D1's defend the objective missions, the last four missions are a blast, and the last one is incredible. All of them gave me a sense of progress, epicness and victory by the end. Also cutscenes were superb, and ghaul was a really strong antagonist withheld defined objectives and motivations
    Destiny 2 's post campaign activities feel very nice. Public events, strikes, lost sectors, adventures, world quest, exotics, and the clever reputation system gave me a reason to get back to every beautiful destination and play for hours its activities
    Strikes got a big improvement from D1, now bosses are not as bullet spongy as the first one, but they still pack a punch. Not only that but all of them have some sort of mechanic, although some are only aggressive move mechanics that the boss uses throughout the fight, there are still some pretty good ones.
    The leveling system is really good this time around. It feels rewarding to infuse weapons and get them now, and feels really good to level up, although after lever 265 it feels really grindy to level up, the game activities could still pull me into farming
    Nighfals are Back with new modifiers and great challenges, divided into two modes, normal and prestige, the new raid is coming September 13 th, we have high expectations for it, and we have milestones to give us a direction of what to do to get more endgame loot
    The loot system has been improved, giving more rewards more often, without the presence of three of
    Coins
    The crucible( pvp) is back now 4 V4 with 2 playlists: quickplay, which relays on a connection based matchmaking priority, that focus on enjoyable and casual matches; and competitive mode, where two teams are put competitively against each other. An endgame mode for pvp, called trials of the nine will be constituted of crazy compatível matches against other players, in one of the competitive modes, the team who wins the game gets points in a passage, that if gets fully completed without loses, gives the players an insane amount of the best loot available in the game
    PVP fells casual and balanced, fun and rewarding, even if you are not into PvE, the crucible will still give you ways of reaching max power level

    Thx for reading
    And thank you bungie for this game

    the game is very good! Graphics have been enhanced, the immersion of the narrative has greatly improved over the first Destiny. There is the complaint regarding the gameplay, the controls are not accurate and give the expected response, artificial intelligence also left something to be desired, but the game is very good and deserves special attention from the community!

    Great game! Great continuation of the first part. A new raid has come out - it's gorgeous and difficult. Many people do not like that there are microtransactions there - so what? There are no advantages, only cosmetic items and no more that, the balance is not violated. The game is excellent - I recommend to buy.

    I can understand why fans of the first Destiny have complaints about this version. It seems the shoot and repeat can get very repetitive. From what I'm reading that hasn't changed much here. It seems Bungie didn't want to rock the boat too much for their hardcore fans.

    However as someone new to the game I'm very impressed with what the team did with this game. Most notably the shooting feels great. The different abilities are all very well done and are something you don't see in other shooters. I'm probably most impressed with the lighting here, especially interiors. I thought after the beta that they focused only on the first missions but the lighting looks amazing throughout. Even when playing with other players. This impressed me throughout the game. It looks incredible when players are using their flashlights in dark areas.

    For me there are less negatives and more just missed opportunities. Knowing what this team has done with the Halo franchise I'm disappointing in the lack of vehicles. The shooting feels amazing but it'd be nice to take a break and use vehicles for combat. They're used very sparingly in the campaign and then are missing from anything else I've done so far. Also, there are no flying vehicles. The fact they're using a ship to get from planet to planet you would think there would be something that could be used for combat.

    In terms of multiplayer I really like the game play and modes. I think 4v4 works well here . However, I think it would be amazing to throw in some enemy NPC's into the mix. Something similar to Titanfall. I think that would be a great blend between PVP and PVE.

    Overall the game is a ton of fun and from a technical standpoint is very impressive. The worlds are all huge and hopping between them is very fast. For the scope of this game I thought the limited load times is something all games should strive for. If you're on the fence about buying it I highly recommend the game. It's not perfect but I think it does so much right and different that it would be a shame to not give it a try.

    Smooth gun play, good soundtrack with some truly breathtaking masterpieces and nice graphics. If you're a fan of D1 you're going to like this. My biggest gripe with the title is the vast amount of recycled content – I kinda wish that Bungee would've been more ballsy with the reforms and improvements.

    One of the most underrated games of recent times. Great gameplay, graphics, loot mechanism and missions. The only drawback is the lack of searching for players function in some missions.

    After spending well over 50 hours in the new MMO-RPG-FPS that is Destiny 2, I decided to make a review as many people and Youtubers seem very divided on how good of a game it actually is; what it strengths and weakness's are.

    After spending well over 50 hours in the new MMO-RPG-FPS that is Destiny 2, I decided to make a review as many people and Youtubers seem very divided on how good of a game it actually is; what it strengths and weakness's are.

    For one, let me just say that Bungie has chosen 3 very different genres to turn into a game, and many people choose to only like one of these. A very common example would be comparing a Call of Duty player to a World of Warcraft player, where Call of duty is a very fast paced game with relatively simple concepts, you hold a trigger to shoot, a joy stick to move around and press it down to sprint. World of Warcraft is almost the polar opposite, with dozens of abilities to use, one giant map, and more items than there are hairs on your head. So, when you combine these two things, it doesn't always turn out the way you want it to, leading to a lot of mixed reviews. As of what I've noticed so far, it seems that Youtube critics seem to dislike the game, while Internet reviewers seem to think it's great. Personally, I think it's a good, but not great game that suffers from some issues that could be easily fixed.

    GAMEPLAY-

    Destiny 2's gameplay is a mixed bag to say the least. it functions like most First Person
    shooters should with strong MMO elements tagging along. One thing the game does great is showing a good visual progression of your guardian. What I mean by this is that when you first get to "The Farm", you look pretty beat up and are limited to a couple of weapons, but by the end, you find yourself looking like a cooler version of Batman, with many Guns and Subclasses to Impress your friends with (or just look cool in).
    As for actual gameplay, it's a little weak, and can sometimes seem a little bland. I picked the hunter class, so I'm sort of used to just shooting my gun and knifing in between long ability and grenade cooldowns. When you fight enemies, they don't put up much of a fight, either. Often I will find myself wondering when the fight will be over while i'm either fighting millions of waves of enemies, or am fighting a boss with millions of health. One thing that really gets on my nerves is the fact that hip firing does less damage than aiming down sights. I found this to a not only bad feature, but also completely pointless one, by doing this, the game is punishing you for making hitting enemies more of a challenge.

    STORY-
    I'll keep it brief, but destiny 2's story, sucks. While it may have been better than Destiny, I still found it quite uninteresting and hard to follow. A very brief summary would be that everything is normal on earth, until, one day a red legion full of fat dudes resembling grunts from Halo decide to take over the traveler, and strip everyone of their superpowers, until one day you suddenly are drawn to a shard of the traveler that's broken off but still works and gives you superpowers again. Zavala, a fallen gaurdian, then, instead of getting superpowers from the same place, turns you into his slave and has you do all of his **** for him, including saving literally everyone in the solar system. FIN.

    PVP-
    I actually quite liked pvp in destiny 2 and found it to be my favorite part of the game, it functioned a lot better than the original and unlike a lot of games nowadays, you feel like you actually help your team by doing good. Ultimates in this game aren't overpowered, and you aren't faced against them too often. They also only come once or twice a game, causing many players to use them at ideal times, rather than right away. Power ammo could be a bit better. They have a map spawning system rather than earning it, so it can get quite annoying dealing with campers, or teamates alike.

    So that's my review for destiny 2, a good game that suffers from a couple issues that could be fixed, but otherwise fun,

Destiny 2 has so many activities the replay ability is great, from strikes, to nightfall's, to the crucible, to the raid you will have a lot of fun and engaging activities to immerse yourself in. Destiny 2 has a flaw however, the multiplayer weapon balancing is not the best, and the overall variety in multiplayer modes should be the diversity of destiny 1. Destiny 2 has plenty to do tons of quests, missions, and story to explore that it becomes a great successor. The music fits the tones, and the graphics are astounding, the visual color pops out and so do the environments. Destiny 2 has some issues in multiplayer however that is not enough to have an amazing time with this game, destiny 2 is a great experience to be had and is everything destiny 1 could have been.

    First time playing through the full game, as I don't like using controllers for shooters. This game looks amazing on PC. The colors are brighter, and the textures are crisper. The depth of field is better, so you can see see more of the game world. sound is good. For example, if I fire an auto rifle in a canyon, there is reverb. Very nice.

    Let's be real, though, this aint Witcher 3 levels of detail, but its nicer than console. By a mile.

    The story is the usual, "The world will end unless you help" fair, but it's competent enough to be interesting the first time I played through. Good voice work, too. Wish there was more of it.

    Communicating ingame is harder than it needs to be, but things like Discord solve that. It needs matchmaking for Nightfall, and the like,but I assume that is coming later. The public events are fun. The Raid is really hard the first time, requiring patience and good communication with your fire team.

    TL;DR:

    This is a good shooter/ action game. Needs work on communication and more story content would be nice. Worth your time.

    Anyway overall it's an improved version of Destiny, not revolutionary by any means, but an amazing refinement of what Destiny is. The story is pretty good, not great or amazing by any means, the gameplay is just as fun, music is at times jaw dropping, sounds are somehow even better than the first. What they most improved are the worlds; at times I would want to do a story mission, but then get sidetracked several times over just because of how alive the worlds are.
    There are some negatives, the characters could be more fleshed out, some dialogue is cheesy, shaders are now a consumable, you dont get a sparrow for a while and they have increased the relevance of micro transactions.
    However these are mostly overshadowed by the positives, which equates to a surprisingly fun and really enjoyable experience that I presume will carry on for a long time.

    Great sequel, yes i do wish they could've pushed the envelope a little more. but man is this an improvement over Destiny 1. Keeps everything that was great about it while removing most what was bad about it, and then adding things which make it amazing.

    Don't listen to the haters.

    Destiny 2 is clearly made for the fans. The story is better, the grind is better, the way i access all the content in game is so good and on top of that it looks incredible.
    You cant beat destiny 2's feel, this game feels better than any other shooter i have played. Which clearly helps keep that grind to max level great fun. All the extra activities that bungie have added to this game

All the extra activities that bungie have added to this game have been a massive leap compared to destiny 1 with lost sectors, adventures, planet quests, public events, caydes treasure maps, strikes, raids, PVP. There's Always Something to Do.
    My only real gripe is the infusion system. i'm not a fan of only infusing with the same weapon type. This has made it harder to use the weapons i like. But overall i cant stop playing and i cannot wait to see what is still to come.

    I carefully picked through the 'reviews' on those that gave the game a 0 or 1 rating and you can tell they haven't actually bought the game and probably haven't played it either. Haters gonna hate. One reviewer admits to coming to his conclusion from watching You Tube. Seriously?! Another said he hated Destiny 1 and this is the same crap. Well why buy Destiny 2 if you didn't like Destiny 1?

    Don't believe the low scores as clearly, they must have their own sad reason and motivation for giving them, but they are just untrue, unreal and unfair. Game designers must despair when people exist solely to give out zero scores.

    The game is a lot of fun and I can't wait to get back to it (I'm on business away from home right now and am missing playing it). I liked Destiny 1 a lot and this is much better, a lot more than just DLC which some claim. Some people are whining about the micro-transactions - then don't pay them; you can still play.

    To the immature people that reviewed it as a 0 or 1, grow up. You clearly had no intention of giving it anything else. If you cannot be objective in giving your opinion, then it means nothing to us and so who is going to give any credit to a 0 score? Just makes you as the reviewer, look pathetic.

    The thing about Destiny is a lot of people were burned by the first game. The first game was indeed average, but it does not mean this one is as well. Give it a chance, and come to your own conclusion.

    I play a lot of games, and honestly, Destiny 2 is one of those rare games that I think about when I am not playing. The trolls describe this as a dlc, but if you think back to Taken King, you got around 4 main missions and a few extras, such as a new raid, and a few other items. This game is a full blown, completed experience. 4 brand new planets, great campaign, strikes, raids, crucible, adventures, lost sectors, high value targets, patrols...you would never get all that in a dlc. ever. Unless you are CD Project Red.

    Campaign is great. Opening mission is phenomenal, including your rise to power again after the fall. The final few missions are also unbelievable. The middle parts of the campaign are great too but don't quite reach the heights of those bookmarks.

    Oh and the soundtrack. Listen to 'Journey' on Youtube and tell me thats not epic.

    Go home trolls. You lose this time. Buy the game.

I have played all the amazing classics when they were NEW and FRESH, not on some emulator years later, but when the music and graphics of those classics were cutting edge and amazing.

    This is the best game I have ever played in my life. I am so happy this game exists. It makes my life better.

Almost every story mission has a cutscence which adds more lore and information that Destiny 1 was lacking, otherwise the story missions are more interesting and keep you going during the more boring fighting periods. Instead of the old boring patrols of Destiny 1 Bungie has added a new way of fun patrols. There is travel points in each planet for faster ways to get to adventures, story missions, public events, etc. The patorling is more fun and less time riding around on your sparrow. Most of the weapons have stayed the same, but there is a new change where you have a "kinetic" primary and a "energy" primary weapon and a "power" weapon which is the Destiny 1 secondarys and heavy weapons. This adds a fun new way of allowing a long range primary and a short range primary with a fun strong power weapon. Yes this game is similar to destiny 1 because it is a sequel.

I only have two main gripes with it. First, it's difficulty level through most of the game is such that though you can explore using strategy, you can get by without using it - so basically you can go in with a weapon you're best at and comfortable with, shoot 'em up, and if you're hurt go hide for a little bit, come back out, and repeat. Second, and this may not be a factor for most of you, but the Trophies are lacking. The only trophies there are are gold and silver for endgame content and that's it. I enjoy trophies especially in a game like this because it gives extra incentives and goals to aim for outside of the game and getting these isn't too difficult.

    Destiny 1 tried to do everything and achieved mixed results. Destiny 2 tries to do everything and the results range from very good to excellent.
    It's addictive and I love it... but the single use shaders is kind of a pain. Micro transactions feel pretty much non existent and are really easy to ignore but yeah... the single use shaders is a little annoying and hinders player customization until late in the game when you get high level gear.
    Also, the raid is pretty brutal in my opinion. It's heavily mechanics based and although the recommended power level is 260 that's way off. If you check bungie.net and try to find random people to raid with then most won't take you unless you're in the 290's, equipped with the right and gear and know what you're doing. It's really not a friendly or inviting game mode and generates a lot of frustration because you can't carry players. Everyone has a key role to play at all times.
    Despite my quibbles I still give it a 10 because it's so much fun and i've put more time into it than any other game this year.

The gameplay is equally fantastic, and the system to gather loot and new gear is both rewarding and addicting. Lastly, it can’t be emphasized enough how good the art design and music are. If you have a 4K console, this will easily be one of the standout titles on it this year. Whether you’re a franchise newcomer or have been playing since the first installment, Destiny 2 will have you hooked in seconds. Expand

    OK, so I've had enough time with this game to write a review. Look, just get it. It has a brilliant and beautiful campaign and hours upon hours of endgame content. And that's just the PvE. The PvP is slower than the original, and benefits hugely from it. It feels a lot more tactical and satisfying than the original. A huge improvement and a worthy sequel.

I love the crucible and the new raid and trials it is a fair and awesome experience for new and old players. I am giving it a 10 out of ten because I believe this game deserves more than a 5.9 user score it should probably be rated around 8.0 to be honest.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bungie delivers Destiny 2 as an improvement of the original and to my surprise they pulled it off really well. Destiny as a whole had a solid formula for a great FPS and MMO but was executed poorly. However Destiny 2 maintained that formula but executed pretty well.

    Destiny 2 offers a rich cinematic campaign with a coherent story and tangible threat named Dominus Ghaul of the Red Legion than the supernatural entity known as the Darkness in the original Destiny. The characters are fleshed out even more and don't feel like the the cliche old boring character that gives out exposition before starting a mission. Characters such as Zavala, Ikora and Cayde were fleshed out and felt like actual characters that we can relate to. Although the campaign was more or less a very cliche story to sum it up is basically a villain comes to ruin everything and we as the hero save and defeat the villain and doesn't really have anything unique to it.

    The game adds 4 new destinations: European Dead Zone on Earth, New Pacific Arcology on one of Saturn's moon Titan, Arcadian Valley on Nessus, and Echo Mesa on one of Jupiter's moon Io. Each new destination improves on what the concept of exploration with Lost Sectors, Regional Chests, Public Events and Adventures through the open world. You can also land in specific landing zones scattered throughout the destinations maps instead of a specific location like in Patrol back in Destiny 1. However, some destinations felt kind of rushed for example Io which is by far the smallest destination in Destiny 2 and disappointing as the Pyramidion had potential to be an open world dungeon but it's just closed off and can only be accessed via the strike.

    The loot haul is more rewarding now and didn't feel like a chore at all in Destiny 2. It's by far the biggest improvement of the game. It made me want to grind more and it felt more rewarding the more i leveled up. Even at it's most grindiest the loot haul is still rewarding. It can however have the potential of people throwing their controllers as Engram drops are still random and can result in people can weapons they already own.

    Destiny 2 offers a variety of activities including Strikes, The Crucible, Public Events, Nightfall Strikes and the Raid. However the activities have problems on their own in particular loot. Loot is more rewarding and each activity does merit the same amount of loot. The problem is that some of these activities take really long to complete and are not even worth doing if their not on the milestone tab. An example of this is an incentive to due Public Events rather then Strikes as the Events are much more quicker to complete and merit the same loot when doing a Strike. Aside from this, the activities are fun in particular the raid. Raids in Destiny have always been a staple of why players play the game. They offer complex mechanics, enforce communication and teamwork to complete without offering guides within the game forcing players to do trial and error in order to learn the mechanics and rewards you immensely when completing an encounter. However you also get tokens in each encounter and these tokens are used to earn reputation from the Raid faction and earn loot via RNG. Again, this can cause some people to think the grind isn't worth it as there is a potential to get the same loot 2 times in a row. Loot for completing the raid and Loot gained via leveling up with the raid faction.

    Other negative things I like to point out is we don't get a sparrow until the end of the game despite Bungie knowing that these destinations are big. It felt like they did this to increase playtime and hours in the campaign. The only way to get a sparrow before the endgame are through bright engrams. And unfortunately my second negative concerns are the micro transactions. Shaders are now one use consumables that you can obtain. However, cool legendary shaders are locked via these Bright Engrams. Although Bright Engrams can be obtained via leveling up, they take a long time to get. It's basically like OverWatch's loot boxes. I would be fine with these engrams however they also had to add mods to these engrams. Mods are basically consumables for your weapon and armor and perform specific things if you apply them to weapons and armor. Legendary mods up weapons to 5 attack and or defense. Although not that bad, it is kind of a scumy way to enforce a pay to win system in Destiny 2 as a 5 attack and or defense can really make a difference.

    In general Destiny 2 is a major improvement of the original Destiny. Although still flawed and kind of ruined by micro transactions, the game showcased that Bungie did listen to feedback and criticism on the original Destiny and improved on the game. I recommend this game.

    Graphics are improved, there is an actual story now, and there is always something to do. The addition of maps to the planets and markers showing exactly where activities are or where things can be found make you want to stay on the planet and explore.

The nightfall strikes are much more entertaining with timers that force you finish them quickly or be ejected to orbit to start over. It is more of the same, but what sequel, or expansion, isn't. The amount of quality of life improvements is enough to keep you coming back for more.

    It seems that all the low reviews are complaining about micro-transactions and calling it pay to win have not played this game. The micro-transaction items are shaders, sparrows, and weapon ornaments. Nothing that you can buy with real money is going to give you an advantage in the game. Anything that can be bought with real money can be earned in the game and again, it's only cosmetic items.

Typically one of my biggest gaming pet peeves is doing the same thing over and over again but it didn’t bother me here. I definitely got caught up in the loot based grind.

    This is a game that is meant to be played as a co-op experience but I played most of this game as a single player game. I didn’t even play with friends until after I played through the entire story, level 20 and probably power level around 200.

    There are plenty of things to do in this game and I enjoyed them all. Between the story missions, the adventures, the public events and the Strikes. There are couple modes that I just didn’t care for. One was the Nightfall which was basically a harder strike, its okay but I didn’t like the timed aspect of the Nightfall. I like to take my time and eliminate all enemies, not run past them. There is the Crucible which is the competitive multiplayer and that’s not why I’m playing that game. Lastly, there is the Raid which is a 6 person event that takes hours to get through. I’m not very good at video games and I feel bad when I’m bringing down my team. I don’t want to be the guy who’s bringing down the team so I feel better just not doing it.

    Where this game truly shines is in the combat, its the tightest shooter that I have ever played. It just feels good to shoot things in the game. I chose the Titan class because of its definitely the most defensive class. I like to be a little “tankier” so being able to put up the wall and shooter enemies over the wall definitely fit my play style. There is some platforming in the game which is okay but I just don’t like platforming in first person.

    This is a game that people are going to say, “you should play with friends” and yes it is fun to play with friends but it’s not terrible playing alone either. I have no reservations to say that this is one of the best first-person shooters that I have ever played.

    When I played Destiny 1 years ago I said at the time that it was an Excelent Multiplayer. Now, this is like the first 1 but improved noticeably. So, both game are very good. Now, when I played the first one I remember I struggled because I didn't play many shooters back then. And the guides on GameFAQs though very extensive thay dealed mostly with the game like how to progress through levels, but it didn't actually teach or give clues on how to play a shooter. So, if you are a bit like me having not much experience with shooters well I can help, but just a tiny little bit. I've written a FAQ on GameFAQs not on Destiny but on Call of Duty Black Ops 4. So, if you look there for a Blackout guide you find it under this same username. On the Weapons section I give very little comments on each weapon type. Though very little it's better than nothing especially for someone completely in the dark.

    Now, that's it. I really enjoyed the game and I may update this text in the future as I plan to play the expansions including Forsaken. I'm really looking forward to it, it looks promising and I've heard that it's great indeed. So, this just covers the base game. And if you read my guide on GameFAQs please don't forget to click the "YES" button if you enjoyed it :-)

    And regarding the guide that's something interesting. I love GameFAQs, but for those in need of a tutorial on how to play shooters, or any genre, like racers or RPGs you don't have that in GFAQs. So, Ihave to refer a guide for a specific game to cover the basics. I think it would be interesting if GFAQs included a section on "General FAQs". Not guides for specific games but rather guides on how to play specific game genres like a mentioned shooters, racers, RPGs, MMOs and on. I'm not sure GFAQs has that and I'm not implying I'd write those guides. It's just that when I played NFS Rivals the same happened, I needed to look elsewhere to learn how to play racing games, because I don't even have a Driver License, so I needed to look elsewhere but I still wished I never needed to go outside of GFAQs S2

    Well, that's it for now. Maybe will update when finishing Forsaken but not sure if I'll play it right now. Thanks for reading and enjoy youtr Destiny as a Gamer!

    Update: I have notplayed through the expansions yet, but I did the assaults and played a bit of the Leviathan Raid. I said I said that Destini 1 was an Excelent Multiplayer, and this is indeed no different. Especially the Raid where you team up with other players with Voip and are required a lot of coordination and teamwork, the likes that I've seen only in MMOs. It's definitely real fun. I'd like to applaud Bungie's take on Matchmaking, for the Raid, they designed it knowing what would it require, so definitely know what they're doing on this issue. I'm glad I finally played a game from the legendary Devs of Marathon and Halo :-) Still not sure if I'll play Forsaken right now but may further update this when I do.

    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.

    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.
