    First reaction to the game is .... nice finally a story !
    A few hours in the game .... shouldn't this have been in destiny 1
    few more hours into the game .... they ruined everything that was good in destiny 1 but kept the crappy stuff
    few more hours ... go to the store and get a refund :)

    This is DLC now a new game ...

    New shader system is awful. It was awesome and working just fine in Destiny 1 why did you have to change it? Because you want more money of course.

    So much damn potential wasted.
    This is just Destiny 1 Cabal DLC re-purposed to be Destiny 2, so they could fulfill there contractual obligations. Nothing new was added to this game it's just Destiny 1 .
    Still no story. No expanded character creator. Enemies lack brain capacity to even shot their guns, let alone use some freaking tactics. Exotic gear is so plentiful why the hell do you    So much damn potential wasted.

    Still no story. No expanded character creator. Enemies lack brain capacity to even shot their guns, let alone use some freaking tactics. Exotic gear is so plentiful why the hell do you even call it exotic. The epic music plays at the weird most dull moments where nothing is happening. **** that was free in Destiny 1 now cost money to get. Bosses are still massive bullet sponges. Shooting is still smooth. So if you want a mindless shooter to kill some time and chill with buds, I'd get Call of Duty WW2.

    Honestly after playing the Taken King I thought they got it together, but boy did they seriously dropped the ball again. If you loved Destiny 1, this is the game for you because it's just a Destiny 1 expansion, minus any expansion on the story about the darkness and light cause **** plot.

    I really wanna understand how Bungie made Halo and fell so far in terms of innovation, creativity, story/character development and just went and died. Here is a tip if you are unsure about this game, wait until the game comes out at 40$ with all the dlc included.    … Expand

    This game, at it's core is good. It's just every thing else is just mediocre. I do have to give a hand to bungie though they did fix a bunch of core flaws of the first game such as grenades. If you didn't like the first one I wouldn't recommend this at all but if you spent countless hours on the first destiny and aren't burned out, this is a solid installment in the destiny franchise

    I am a fan of Destiny but I cannot in no shape or form recommend this game.. No Excuses, It is essentially the another DLC 'the Cabal' and not a complete game... More Storyline but more questions unanswered.. I am not waiting or paying for DLC to come, that should be included already... Long story short this is Destiny 1 "Reloaded"

Und der mute / und probably / hero mit einem nidrigem level von inteligence ? Wahrum ist in der Spiel keine wirklich interesante Person ? Wozu das alles ? Einzige Antwort : Geld, mehr und mehr .

    After 2 weeks with the game, I'm rather disappointed. On the surface everything has been adjusted.

The subclass storyline quests were quick and rather dull, unlike when they released the new 3 Subclasses in the original game. Lore isAfter 2 weeks with the game, I'm rather disappointed. On the surface everything has been adjusted. The reboot and losing your Light/Subclasses was rather pointless when you can re-obtain them within a few hours. There is no real struggle in this game. The subclass storyline quests were quick and rather dull, unlike when they released the new 3 Subclasses in the original game. Lore is hidden even more now. Without the Grimoire to reference, there's really nothing here except a few paragraphs of nonsense regarding certain armor. Considering to get the most out of the game, many players will level up 3 characters (one of each class). There should have been alternate confrontations for each class to make the storyline a little more compelling, but once again your character is just another mute protagonist getting told what to do via Radio. The Vanguard characters were teased to have a bigger role in the story did absolutely nothing. I was expecting for them to fight beside them in this so-called struggle for Humanity, yet they only showed up for small scripted cameos.

    The Enemies are exactly the same. AI hasn't changed and while there are a couple of new abilities and types of enemies, they all deal with you the exact same way. The only "challenge" is the Nightfall strike and it's Prestige version and the only difference is that the enemies non-stop shoot at you, have more health and you take more damage. The Modifiers are interesting, but just add only a few new mechanics that don't really offer to much of a challenge.

    Public Events are quite often and easy to access, however there is no change to the encounters (with the exception of triggering the Heroic modifier). Strikes are fun, however not worth the time in terms of rewards. There are no strike exclusive gear to obtain. The amount of Duplicate Legendaries and Exotic gear is unheard of. While some of the gear will help you level up your power, you're completely stuck at times when that engram isn't the desired slot you wanted.

    Crucible is a mixed bag. If you enjoy team shooting, then this might be for you, but it gets old real quick. Trials of the Nine Matchmatching is a joke. Being paired against players who went Flawless already should not happen. There should be brackets. There is no competition when an Amateur goes against a Professional in any Sport/competition, so why allow it here? Bungie pushing towards ESports is an utter joke. This game will never be taken seriously in any competitive community.

    Lastly, the Raid. The one thing that Destiny has in terms of PVE content over other shooters and unfortunately, the Leviathan does not deliver. As a flagship Raid for the sequel, I find the Raid rather disappointing. Only one Boss encounter really bothered me and those who I raid with. I have completed the Raid 7 times since release and never feel satisfied. While the confrontations cycle per week is refreshing, the gear rewards are sub-par and I'm experiencing multiple duplicates already (4 hunter cloaks, 4 Assault Rifles, 2 Sniper Rifles, 3 SMG). The Underbelly of the Leviathan is interesting at first, but then you realize that it is a timesink just to open chests that you earned throughout the Raid. Not to mention you only receive more tokens and a chance for an Exotic (that you probably already have).

    This is an expensive Expansion, not a true sequel. The Honeymoon is over and now there's really nothing to do other than Nightfalls and weekly "Milestones" which are the exactly same quests just in different areas. Quality of life has improved, yet there are many steps backwards. The Vault is a mess and mods are implemented poorly. There should have been an in game tutorial regarding Legendary mods and how they boost power level to your gear. If they focused on 60 FPS on consoles, then I'd consider this a sequel, but this is more of the same. Polished, yet soulless.

    If you're wondering, I am a 303 Warlock, 304 Hunter, 303 Titan. Destiny 1 Alpha player from Day 1, beat all Challenge mode Raids in D1, Flawless in Trials of Osiris multiple times. Fan of the game, but not sure I'm going to jump through the hoops again hoping the game will improve. If there is 6-7 more years of this, I'm probably going to tap out after the Season pass of D2 ends. This is ultimately not worth your time hoping that the Universe was going to be an MMO. I ask those who rated this high after the first few hours they put into game: Does the game still give you that excitement after just 2 weeks? Yes, there are some hidden secrets probably not found yet, but overall, this game has fall flat already.    … Expand

The story mission aren't plentiful enough to even get you to max level, you have to do other missions or public events at certain points in the game as you will not meet the level requirements to proceed with the super limited story. There are the same old patrol missions as Destiny 1, and now they have the adventure missions, which are essentially just patrol missions that involve killing X, collecting X, go to X etc. The strikes aren't any more interesting than the original ones in Destiny 1. The crucible has arguably be lessened by the 4 v 4play type with smaller maps. No new character classes have been made in the 3 years since the original. Some of the new planets are very small and have no real reason to go to once the story missions are completed. Also, why the hell aren't there quick change weapon load outs? What about using one of the D-pad buttons to change to an alternate loadout so you dont have to go into the menu and do it in the middle of a boss fight? I suppose that would take away one of the emote buttons, but what an awesome thing that would be.

    Sure there is quick travel now, but why the hell wasn't there in the first game? It's nothing to celebrate something that has been industry standard for years and years. It's not a plus, it's just not a minus now. Weapon types are essentially the same but now your weapons dont level up with use, again something i dont really like and feels like it detracts from the rpg level up elements. They still don't have proper in game group finding for raids or nightfalls, you can now tag along with a guild group who is looking for another player to fill their ranks.

    Overall calling this game a sequel is a pretty tough pill to swallow. It doesn't bring anything new to the table and feels very half assed. If you haven't played the original Destiny then pick that up on the cheap and enjoy the game.    … Expand

    Best for meatballs.

    I enjoy it. But in some ways it's like being kicked in ya meatballs. I want to spend eight hours working on my game and I like it when I'm grinding in a game or on a confused grad student.

    I wish the enemies didn't sponge quite so much, though it's better than before. And I also wish my dam neighbor would TURN DOWN the dam hip hop. It's crap music and always will be.

    Hello microtransaction.

    If a game ask player to pay money to skip playing the game and get that thing naturally, it means the developer believe that their game is not good enough for player to actually play for enjoyment and give player option to skip it.

    The money spent on this game is better spent at a strip club.

    Lesser of a game than the first one. Features gone and its a glorified, overpriced DLC; they went backwards. The same people that would buy this and give it a good review are probably the same people that would pay $1000 for the new iPhone, sheep and fanboys.

    No new enemies, classes, etc. Shorter story campaign than the TTK expansion, less strikes than the TTK expansion. This is not a sequel. it is an expansion. Story and cutscenes are worst I've seen for a AAA game and it's sad that Bungie moved backwards with their IP instead of doing something truly unique and interesting. Still a good shooter, but is a bigger disappointment.

    every destiny fanoy like my brother for example who said buy this game, its amazing. IGNORE THEM
    this game is just a lazy attempt to get you,re money

    here is whats wrong
    1
    the campaign sucks, the voice lines suck, and most of all, the way you are presented is so overtuned its laughable, i played this game since its out, and i want to resell it, sadly its already not worth it anymore.

    2
    events and dropps,
    loot will at some level no longer be good, 260 as a powerlevel, will become hell for you
    you will rott there until you reach 280. it took me 4 days to reach 277, from 260. just saying you reach that point after 2-3 days.

    the events suck, are ALWAYS the same events, at the exact same place, with the exact same svoice lines from npcs,
    sometimes ppl leave the planet, means out of 6 ppl on the planet, you are alone. nobody joins it. you MUST reload the planet. which takes me

    3
    loading times are insane, i had several moments when i was in 5 minute loading screens, finish a mission, go to the quest guy, 1 minute, 2 minutes to finish that, then yu must go somewhere else, which takes you forever, then you leave the city, you are in a loading screen, 1 minute, you need to run there somewhere, and so on. you basicly do nothing for great stretches of time

    4
    rewards
    they suck, the only rewards that do not suck, are some exos that you get from missions. so 3-4 are good.
    you wont get most of the time, the things you need, you will get TONNS of duplicates from exos from engramms, i talk about getting the exact same exo ( legendary in other games) two to up to endless times,
    my record is getting the fking PROMO weapon i got from a code, for FIVE times
    i got the item that should NOT drop five fking tmes.

    5
    the missions are a joke,
    there are literaly missions that are, go there, stand there for 3-4 minutes, go make yourself some tea
    you do not defend, you do not do anything, you stand there and it loads a, scanning meter,
    no enemys, nothing

    and every event is the same, its ALWAYS either of 2 things, defend this, or kill this. mostly both in one mission
    so, defend this drill, then kill this guy,
    defend the loader, then kill this guy,,
    defend this circle, kill the guy that spawns,

    every planet has this. and its a chore.

    multiplayer is okay, some things are rly unfair, but all in all its okay and the ONLY fun part of the game... if you got the loot for it...
    well, there are ppl with auto aiming granades, that will instamurder you... but that rarely happnes.

    6 always online
    due to the poor mission matchmaking, ... basicly non existent, you play if you dont have real life or pre game friends, nobody to play this game with, so you are solo
    ... also the planet player despawn and no longer join thing... so you play aloe most of the time then rly...
    i cnt play tis offline. its just a negative on its own.

    7
    this game makes me angry, once you finished the lame campaign, and all the leveling from before until you reach endgame, you never want to touch that again, so if you want to test out another character, you can do it all over again...
    jut so you know, you wont get the car until you finish the campaign... WHAT THE FK... you run for most of the time, if you later do strikes, ( which are basicly story missions in harder and mayby 1 boss, which is a cloned stronger variation of another boss or smaller unit) you kinda realize that you need the fking care desperatly...
    8 okay okay next is. some of the kill quests, they require you to do kills with certain methods, like flying with an mp and killing units. do 50. the flying and aiming thing is a chore, it is annoying. or kill with this 1 handgun 10 big enemys on that planet, of that race. and so on. you basicly run from spawn to spawn and kill 1 unit. for 1-2 hours.... nice, afterwards you gotta do more of those... you get nothin directly. 9 some things feel unfinished. edges feel very **** sometimes, if you yetpack SLIGHTLY against them, youfly backwards, and die... sometimes you get knocket up like ****, and you fly away into death, you cannot dodge this, you cannot save yourself from this you are dead. 10 enemys are retardet.... or something you can just punch EVERY enemy to death. bosses will kill you because they just deal to much dmg, but you can do it. you also can just spamm revives into something, and chip the enemys away until you win. 11 lootchests are a joke, vendors too... there is ONE vendor who sells good stuff... thats it. the rest is locked behind the raid, which i cant even play, because i dont have the ppl for it, nor can i play the pvp event stuff from the nein or how they are called, terrible drops from chests are glimmer which doesnt bring you jack **** and tokens which result in sad loot from vendors and npcs... you will get floodet with this dirt.

    Pros
    - Game is fun and addictive, yes.
    - Gameplay feels great

    Cons:
    - Reharsh of Destiny 1, not even a new enemy class...ridiculous.
    - No new character class...and this is not "against the lore" its just laziness.
    - Cant choose Heroic Strikes, cant choose strikes dificult and any playlist.
    - Nightfalls are timed, really annoying.
    - Did not play the Raid though from what i read and saw the community hated, not fun at all.
    - Microtransactions are just for cosmetic stuff (shaders, armor sets that are low level and you will need to insude it, ships, sparrows), but still....there are microtransactions.
    - Graphics are not impressive at all.
    - 30 FPS.
    - History is lame with cringe dialogue up and down, makes you wonder what is the demographic of this game's audience.
    - Just like the 1st one, if you dont get the paid DLC the content will run thin in short time.
    - Again, MANDATORY PAID DLC.
    - Cant choose Crucible modes, its always a random playlist...
    - Speaking of Crucible, now there are only 4v4 modes...no more 6v6...i get that it makes more "tactical" gameplay, but still....we should have this option, certainly they are going go to implement on the next paid DLC to come.
    - Weekly objetives (milestones) that gives you armor and guns that are above your level (if you are high level like 270)...if you are done with this theres is NOTHING you can do (except for Raid) to have a chance to get a powerful gear, you are going tohave to wait a week to restart the process, how great is that.
    - DUPLICATES everywhere...legendary gear, exotic gear...prepare yourself to some heavy frustration (unless they fix this).
    - Maps (planets and moons, whatever) are dull and dont feel "open world" at all.
    - SERVER problems all the time (i have played since launch and im getting an error code at least once per day).

    - And many other things.

    If you dont believe my review and choose to believe those reviewers that are giving this game 10 just to "counteract" the mediocre reviews (mind you, theres no way you could be more fanboy than this) go ahead and buy this game...sure, you will definitely have a good time, as i said the gameplay is fun and addictive, but this game is just a "5" in my book.    … Expand

    EDIT - After the initial hype i have changed my score to a 7. There are so many bad things with this game i don´t even care anymore. Its a good run to power level 265 then nothing.

    Destiny 2 is an extremely stellar experience. Despite knowing nothing about the original game’s lore going in I thoroughly enjoyed the story and characters thanks to the extremely funny and smart writing. The gameplay is equally fantastic, and the system to gather loot and new gear is both rewarding and addicting.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There is so much more that Bungie can be doing with Destiny, and I was hoping they'd hit the nail on some of them with D2, but alas it's not the case. It's like no one at Bungie plays any MMOs that have really well designed customization and progression systems.

    * Why have skill points if you can only spend on one part of the tree at the time? This is just an illusion of choice. Introduce real and meaningful alternative traits.
    * Why is the main character mute during the story? This fundamentally straightjackets the type of story that can be told, all for the incredibly misguided principle of Bungie's "not putting words in your character's mouth". Well, that only works if you can *say* something yourself. If you can't, well, then put *some* words in there or else we will just be the mute sidekicks and lapdogs that do what everyone else tells us to do.
    * No meaningful item use, gun customization (to offset lack of perk RNG), quest system, lack of real NPCs with stories and chat dialogue. All the *world building* that Destiny so sorely lacks.

    You could say that many of these things don't matter and that it's demanding too much. But the problem is that Destiny is consciously aiming to be a mixed MMORPG/shooter. If it *consciously* wants to inhabit that space, it automatically is on the hook for implementing the most basic systems that are expected in the respective genres.

    Aside from this, there are the little things that are just facepalm-inducing in this game.

    * Why no sparrow horns?
    * Why no post-mission stats?
    * Why only 4v4 in PvP? Why not have both 4v4 and 6v6 modes? 6v6 is incredibly fun most of the time!
    * Why cater **all** the game mechanics to be beholden to PvP, and refuse to have separate PvE and PvP systems? This results in inevitably twisted game mechanics. Whoever heard of a FPS where your shotgun is a "power" type weapon instead of a secondary? These are vagaries of Destiny PvP that have forced themselves onto the entire game. The collateral damage is that PvE is now a predominantly primary-only snoozefest, and every boss is basically like good ol' Rockets McDickface (though not as bad as the OG one).

    It's like Bungie decided to play whack-a-mole with all the little aspects of Destiny they wanted to improve, without stepping back for a second and looking at the big picture to see if the resulting changes would make *sense* when put together. There is a role for bottom-up game design, but you have to have **some** top-down design or else the result will be a hodgepodge of lateral and vertical changes, with little sense of improvement in overall direction towards the **vision** of the game.

    And oh god the story. It's much more fleshed out than in D1, that's for sure. But boy is it *cheesy*. That wonder I felt in the early stages of D1, of vast dystopian worlds with so much mystery and room for imagination, is now firmly out the window, and replaced with cheesy tropes, "rah rah our hero is the bestest", and overly excessive humour.

    In essence, there is a lack of vision for Destiny. There **was** a clear vision during the development of D1, but that was famously gutted at the last minute, and we are suffering from the consequences to this day. Is it a serious sci-fi story-driven shooter? Is it a competitive PvP game? Is it an RPG with meaningful loot and character progression? Or is it a tongue-in-cheek casual FPS (like Overwatch aims to be)? At this point, the answer is "a bit of this, a bit of that, but all mashed together and not doing any of them well."

    Instead, to make it work, Bungie forces artificial grind (ooh now we can only infuse using weapons of the same type, extra grind yay!) to *compensate* for the lack of meaningful quests, story, and so on, which themselves stem from a lack of true world building and clear-headed implementation of *basic* MMO game systems.

    As a D1 veteran who invested many hours in the game, and a long-term MMORPG and FPS fan who is begging for a true union of the two, it's frankly more than a little heartbreaking.    … Expand

Destiny 2 is aimed at a dumbed down audience whose girlfriends tag them in Destiny promo vids, so they can show the world how amazing they are for buying their BF's the latest pile of garbage for mainstream casuals. The type of gamer who buys this trash are the same ones who buy two games a year Fifa and Destiny and repeat the cycle each year the new shiny version comes out.

    I feel sorry for Destiny players because the rest of the gaming scene sees them as non gamers (the equivalent to mobile gamers) but they somehow think they are the real deal. Now you may wonder why I'm so annoyed at these sheeple who buy the latest pop songs because everyone else does, watch the latest Hollywood blockbuster because the TV add told them to and play mass produced corporate titles like Destiny 2?
    Well I'm annoyed because while the sheep are wasting cash on shaders, DLC to find out how the game ends and paying micro transactions for virtual boots in a generic wave shooter fighting hordes of identikit Halo enemies, the rest of the gaming industry follows suit. So it becomes the norm to release half completed DLC's as if they are a full game for full price. We all suffer due to the actions of the easily fooled. And that is what Destiny 2 is doing, it is fooling people into spending a fortune on a very average FPS, they've even stripped it back meaning you're getting less than Destiny 1. Even the PVP is only 4 v 4, not that it's worth playing as no skill is required (which is why it appeals to casuals). To win in multiplayer you just need to type in your credit card number, buy some loot, win a legendary weapon, equip the weapon and one hit kill your opponent. You might as well let a bot play Destiny for you for a monthly fee.

    The graphics have had a slight lick of paint but it still lacks any fine detail and looks the same as Halo or any other generic space shooter that came before it.

    Nothing has changed since the first game, same classes, same enemies, same character models, animations, weapons etc etc. In fact it's not even a DLC, it's more like a re-master.

    No doubt the unimaginative among us, the ones who believe fake news and like and share couple prank videos online will buy into this disgrace of a game and play it all year spending hundreds on micro transactions and badly made DLC.

    And then after a year of wasting your hard earned cash and many many hours repeating the same thing over and over on the same few maps over and over just so you have a golden set of armour, a gun with a skull on it and a silly hat on your character. Look deep into your soul and ask 'was it worth it?'. If the answer is yes: then ignorance truly is bliss.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

Other than some quality of life changes to increase the efficiency of "grinding time" which Destiny has and will always be about, its the same exact game as Destiny 1.

Almost everything was an improvement, from    I was a huge Destiny 1 fan so this will be from the perspective of someone who was more on the hardcore side. I had all of the expansions, cleared all of the raids multiple times, accessed all of the PvP content, and maxed out all of my characters in the first game.

    That being said, I loved most of the changes from Destiny 1 to Destiny 2. Almost everything was an improvement, from storytelling to polish to the weapon balance and map design, both in PvE and PvP. The patrol zones are HUGE! I also love how the main characters all had a bigger role this time around, even more so than Taken King. There were some very awesome moments in the main story that really connected you with (some of) the characters and the skyboxes and visual environment designs are absolutely amazing. Bungie is top tier when it comes to attention to detail. Also, the music is 10/10. Seriously some of the best video game music and sound design I have ever heard. Bravo there.

    All of that said, I would be lying if I said that I didnt agree with the more casual audience feeling like this game looks/feels more like a DLC/Expansion than a sequel. I get the overall vibe that this game was made to fix and address a lot of the criticism of the first game. Dont get me wrong, that should definitely be number 1 on the list in the planning stages of ANY sequel, and I applaud Bungie for those efforts, but that should not be the sole intention of a sequel. For hardcore players, it truly does feel like we are playing the same game with a few added features and balance changes. I was personally disappointed that the subclasses were the same for the most part (with the exception of the one you start with) and that some of the customization was actually reduced in the skill trees. I understand that everyone used the same set of perks anyway in the first game, but I was hoping that would be addressed by buffing or modifying some of the weaker perks so that players still had options, not bunching them together and giving you one of two choices. Destiny, to me, was always about standing out and somehow being unique among your friends and everyone you come across, from gear to loadouts to builds. This time around I feel like any other 280+ Hunter. This may go away with time, but this is just my first impression.

    Overall, I like the direction Bungie is going and the game still feels like "Destiny", just not like a "Destiny 2" imo. Destiny is still one of the most unique games out there and there is nothing else quite like it at this point, which is what keeps bringing players like me back, despite the endless and sometimes frustrating grind. I have had some of my most fun gaming moments in this game and made some awesome friends. But I have to be honest and say that I was not as wow'd or surprised as I thought that I would be going into a brand new game. The things I liked I still like, and the things I didn't I dislike less. If you didnt like Destiny 1, (outside of the storytelling) you will probably still not like this one. If you're like me and loved the first, you will still like this one about on the same level.

    Bungie has the passion and the backing to make this game one of the best games of all time. I just dont think they are there yet.    … Expand

It requires huge amounts of cooperation and coordination with your fireteam which does not work well with the casual players or the huge amount of players that do not have a fixed 6 man team to play with each week. You are left frustrated wasting days on random pick up groups hoping that they can all execute their tasks perfectly. There is no loot just keys and tokens that you have to navigate a labyrinth to cash in and only on completion.

    I have never played a game to this extent where I felt my time and efforts had been wasted and was just left feeling unhappy and frustrated at the end of it.    … Expand

    Unfortunately, D2 doesn't have that "wow" factor anymore - it's literally just a new coat of paint, with some tiny new improvements.

    So after 1 week of going hard, I've got my Hunter to 285, have 18 exotics, completed/found everything on every map, played all the strikes, crucible, etc - basically everything you can do before hitting the hamster wheel again.

    The only thing left is the Raid. I've jumped in with some friends to have a look around, but haven't been able to finish it yet. I'll be happy if we can get through it, but sadly, everything else in the game has now dwindled into boring repetition.

    Once I've done the Raid, that's it. I'll have had my fun, got my money's worth, and got out without getting sucked into the mind-numbing void that this slot-machine game ends up becoming.    … Expand

    If you were addicted to Destiny before, then you'll probably love Destiny 2. That is because while a slight improvement over the first game, Destiny 2 is by and large more of the same. For those like myself who jumped ship long ago, there isn't much reason to stick around past the main story. Worth a rental but save your money unless you absolutely must have more of the same Destiny grind.

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.

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. Other than these gripes, it's definitely an improvement on the first game. Let's hope the expansions are worth the money.… Expand

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.

    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.

    The soundtrack (which is by far my favorite aspect of the game) is so stellar it’s jarring. The audio in general (from guns to a planet’s ambient soundscape) is immersive and suiting.

    The various environments are enchanting yet properly exhibit the magnitude of an enormous sci-fi war. Most “skyboxes” look glorious, though extensively littering the playable sandbox with innumerable crates/boxes and foliage still does not successfully hide how barren it can sometimes feel. Regardless, the landscape is a considerable improvement over vanilla Destiny.

    Level design is, overall, an upgrade from the first Destiny; although it still could use some renovations – objective routes could be even clearer, and, in my opinion, arenas could be even more interactive (this includes player controlled hazards/vehicles/turrets/environmental platforms) and further optimized to fully utilize a guardian’s abilities/mobility (more scenic parkour/platforming segments).

    Nearly all instances of voice acting matched the persona of their characters and was delivered quite well (looking at you Nathan Fillion).

    Gunplay, which is nearly completely identical to the first Destiny, is topnotch. Responsive, intuitive, and visually appealing (with respects to controller capabilities); it shines with a AAA polish.

    Negatives:
    The enemy A.I. is appalling. Perhaps the game’s MMO element creates a bit of lag inhibiting their awareness, or maybe they were designed to be extra passive as to make players feel super stealthy, but repetitively dancing a few inches behind them really makes me feel as though they aren’t really the threat that the story tries to convince me of. The pathing is equally horrendous (watching 100+ enemies funneling through a tight corridor to seemingly blind fire worse than bad guys from a Schwarzenegger film made me feel both humored and disappointed). The impression of engagements was anything but engaging.

    Post Taken King, most developments of “core gameplay” in Destiny’s sequel seemed fairly minimal. Really should expect more with a $60 price tag (as opposed to cheaper DLC) – particularly because there was certainly room for notable improvement (even from a creative standpoint, like completely new alternative classes).

    I did not find the “grind” too enjoyable. The monotony of easily slaying abysmal A.I. became a killjoy, especially after completing the story missions. Though the recent raid was fun, it came a bit late, and was not nearly a good enough payoff for the hours it took plowing through the same public events whilst praying to the RNGod’s for something beneficial. The threat of boredom is tenfold to solo players.

    The writing, from the plot to the dialogue, was unoriginal, tacky, and meek. I would assume most are content that there is at least an attempt at a story in Destiny 2 since there was an obvious lack of one in the first, but that doesn’t excuse how meager it is— being relatively better (story wise) does not inherently make it good. I’ve read plenty of free fan stories and theories discussing the Destiny universe that were leagues better than the oversimplified clichéd nothingness we paid for.

    Narrow F.O.V. 30 FPS. (Console capabilities really do hurt the potential experience in this regard).

    Various bugs (i.e. invisible enemies/players)/glitches/crashes.

    Aesthetically, endgame characters never really looked as “cool” as I wanted them to (nor as they probably could be) even with the shaders. I often felt various enemies looked much better than I ever could.

    Microtransactions/Consumable shaders. Greedy, unnecessary, and ultimately makes some consumers feel skeptical of being treated wallet-friendly by Bungie/Activision in the future.

    Story was much too short (took me 4.5/5ish hours casually). I’m expecting expensive DLC to satisfy that shortcoming.

    I would’ve liked to have experienced a newer and wider assortment of enemies/bosses.

    On PVP: some gun balancing issues, p2p is suboptimal, I’m not sure why 6v6 had to be dropped (even as an option) entirely, and arenas could be enhanced artistically (perhaps even redesigned for better combat flow).

    Conclusion: I was absolutely looking forward to purchasing this game on PC (despite my better judgment). Now I could care less, the console copy is enough.    … Expand

    I really don't understand all the negative reviews for this game. Bungie has taken everything that worked great in the first game and reworked everything else to make it the game we were expecting the first time around.

    Well, I am having fun with Destiny 2. Yes, I am.
    A thing to note is that isn't a "Destiny 2". It's a "Destiny 1.5". It's pretty much the same game with some improvements. It's more dynamic, the planets are bigger with more interactions and the history (which was one of the biggest negative point on the first game), is actually good but not surprisingly awesome.

It's more dynamic, the planets are bigger with more interactions and the history (which was one of the biggest negative point on the first game), is actually good but not surprisingly awesome. The gameplay is pretty much the same too, in addition to some weapon types and minor changes.
    If you liked Destiny 1, it's 50% chance you will like it and 50% you will not like Destiny 2. Depends on how you deal with all the elements, because you've already seen all of this before. So you can enjoy or you can get bored really fast.
    The total gameplay time of the base game is something around 4-6 hours, depending on how fast you get level 11 (which is the minimum level to unlock the last planet). After this, you have what we call "end game", that consist in repeat every activities over and over to farm better equips to do other harder activities over and over again until the next expansion is out. Live, die, repeat.

    Now, is it worth you to pay $ 60 only for the base game without season pass? No.
    And it's worth $ 100 for the deluxe edition that comes with the first 2 expansions? I do not know.

    Keep in mind that there will not be only 2 expansions. If you pay $ 100 for the base game + season pass with the first 2 expansions, you'll need, in the future, buy another season pass containing the next expansions. The good thing is that the second expansion is programmed for 2019 only, so you'll have time to play what you paid without waste more money. The suitable option, of course it's the Deluxe edition, but it's more expensive than the normal edition. But hey, you'll pay $ 60 for only the base game? You'll be forced to buy the season pass! Do not do this! If you want, save money and buy the deluxe edition, or do not buy,

    It's a good game but you have better options. Think before buy the game. I didn't bought, I won this game from a friend. If I had to buy, I wouldn't.

    Have a nice day / night, see ya! :)    … Expand

    If you liked what The Taken King had to offer then Destiny 2 will fulfill those same exciting feelings. Please overlook the bashing of the second game because the first one didn't live up to expectations at launch, because that's what this game deserves. Awesome combat and gun handling, re-visioned explorable areas, and finally a decent story to go along with it.

    I've played about 40 hours so far and I highly recommend it.
    I'd give this game an 8, but due to the enormous amount of bashing based on consumers expecting Halo and getting Diablo 3 or any end-game MMO but with guns instead, I'll try to fix the user score by giving it 10.    … Expand

    It's basically Destiny 1.5. All they've done is refine a few things and improved some stuff but not a lot to class it as a full on sequel. It's basically the new COD except the expansions you get a year after the release are basically what Activision would release as a yearly COD game.

    Human beings, in general, never cease to amaze. This game is great and will only get better.

    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.    … Expand

    I beat the story in 6 hours and a lot of enemies you can just run by, final boss is bland and boring... literally bland daddy grunt and just jumps up and down and sometimes shoots at you while hes a bullet sponge... really uninspired... 1-2 hours of campane is probably just shooting bullet sponge bosses.

    at the end of the day destiny 2 really just feels like destiny 1.5. in some ways certain things feel like a step back in the wrong direction. content is spoon fed and extremely bland and boring. this time around its extremely heavily wighed down by the microtransactions... Theirs a lot of amazing potential for this franchise... just not under activision. i haven't done the "raid" but after destiny 1 where you can push the boss off and win and unplug you're enternet, i don't have any high hopes for it. better off passing on this game and playing something else. still no mmo aspects, (or even basic stuff like trading and talking...) really just rinse and repeat.    … Expand

    Destiny 2 took some steps forward from Destiny, but took some steps back. The solo story is somehow MUCH weaker than the first game, but the leveling/reputations system is much more streamlined. They give you more reasons to do all the side events on planets, but of course you lose those reasons pretty quickly once you're geared up for endgame content.

And they finally give you access to area maps! But most changes they made were minor and it's really just the same game. I wonder if the budget all went to the incredible voice acting talents they've got in this game. That would explain the lack of real changes.

    A fake mmo shell hiding a surprisingly antisocial shooter. Decent (not great) pvp but without dedicated servers. Counter-intuitive gear grinds that slow to a crawl very quickly. A single player campaign that appears to have it's difficulty set to negative 3 or 4 (Seriously, you could probably just punch your way through it). A plot that makes you the player literally irrelevant by the end. Hours of idling in the worst facsimile of a "social area" that I've ever seen in a video game. If you love any of these things, this is the game for you!

    That being said, I love grinds, and I know I'll be playing the heck out of this game for a long time. I'm just going to hate myself a little for it.    … Expand

    Unoriginal story with a "Happily Ever After" ending that leaves much to be desired. The story had no memorable or inspiring moments and just felt like they forced it so the game would at least have a story, unlike Destiny 1. All "planets" have 2-3 "areas' (i.e..roads) that they use for all 6-8 quest each has.

They are heavily pushing microtransactions that walk the line of being pay-to-win. If you for some reason enjoyed the first Destiny then I'm certain you would enjoy this copy/paste supposed sequel that is not much more than a glorified, over-priced, DLC. But even then I would wait until the game goes 50% off before I would buy it. If you did not enjoy Destiny 1 then I highly suggest you not spend the money as you will just end up with buyers remorse when you realise this game is nothing more than an Activision & Bungie microtransaction/DLC money making attempt at a game.… Expand

    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.
