    I played the original Destiny for maybe 50 hours or so , and got frustrated with the game for various reasons.

    Cons:
    In the process of adding things Bungie for some reason removed some of the good things from D1..i.e. hard mode level as you level up
    Supers are just flat out boring...nothing new and in fact outside of their signature moves all the supers feel dumbed down (albeit i've only played on a Titan so far)
    Shaders...don't even get me started on Shaders
    Your Ghost does all the talking
    Scanning stuff that's supposed to give out lore...is just a complete waste of time...there doesn't seem to be a purpose behind it outside of just hearing your Ghost trail on
    Eververse is still here

    The game is not to much of a disappointment and it is still early...comparing apples to apples btwn D2 and D1 releases...D1 can't shake a stick at D2. I can't help but feel that some (if not most) of what's in D2 should've been in D1...but ahh well. Good game, leveling is boring...but still better then D1.    … Expand

    What the game is: beautiful, more challenging, better AI, cool guns, better story, improved mechanics, more (but more fun) grinding.

    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!

    My main reaction to this game is the frustration of seeing how much missed potential there is for the franchise. 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.

    As a long time Destiny 1 player I'm very happy with Destiny 2. It's not perfect, but an improvement and lots of fun so far.

    HOWEVER... I don't know who decided that one time use shaders were a good idea... They are not. Worst change ever Bungie. This would have been a 9, but for that deeply silly change, have a 0.

    just a lazy cash grab, its essentially destiny 1 with slight tweaks. same old mind numbing campaign story style too. even the UI is pretty much identical.

    In reality this is an 8 out of 10. No more, no less. If you're thinking of getting D2 then look at proper critic reviews, and not user reviews, as like I said there are so many people who have just come to hate on it, when it really doesn't deserve it.

    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.    … Expand

    The problem with this game is the 30fps cap for consoles. Outher then that I like it alot. It works to play the PVE content but PVP is a complete mess with 30 fps. Someone made a comparison to Golden Eye on Nintendo 64. Its a good comparison.

    After a few days with the game, and experiencing all the content currently available (Trials of the Nine, and the Raid are the main things missing), I can form a mostly complete opinion of the heart of the game.

    After playing Destiny 1 on and off throughout its lifespan I was optimistic for D2 and am pleased to see while the core gameplay is nigh identical, the fat has been trimmed and systems refined into a far better core experience than the original did,. It even has a decent campaign that is 95% playable co-operatively in a three man squad. If you liked the original, you're going to love this. Mostly.

    There are a couple of choices made during development which while minor do stop me from giving it a perfect rating. Primary of these being the choice to simplify the subclasses. I assume this was done to more easily balance them in PVP, but making the builds from 10 or so different 3 node choices made for a great amount of build diversity. Now these have been trimmed down to a choice between two options per subclass, I don't feel as unique as I did in the original.

    The second is the public event system. At first its great, but the same event spawns in the sam eplace every time. It would've made for a much more living breathing world if each event space had a different event spawn on it each time one started.

    The last thing I will mention are the shaders. I can't say if the choice to make them single use and sell them in microtransations is a problem, because after two days I haven't played enough to see if it actually IS a problem yet. I'd rather there weren't microtransactions in any game, but like people farting on aircraft, it's a fact of life we are going to have to learn to live with. Every other change to shaders though is 100% positive. Being able to colour each individual item, (equipment, ghosts, ships etc can all be shaded) is a really nice touch and enables me some individuality back from what I lost with the subclasses.

    All in all, it's a great game with a bright future.    … Expand

There is much more to do, the cutscenes look great and the story is presented in what is expected of a game. As an avid player of D1, my biggest concern, back then, was content. D2 delivers and brings a lot of new to the table. Perhaps what I like most, is the fact that Bungie tried to keep all the fans happy by listening to what they had to say about D1, and improve on that in the new game. If they keep on doing this, the game will just evolve going forward. For me, I am satisfied with the direction it is going. Bungie is planning to keep us, much, much more busy in the months to come and I find that extremely pleasing. The game is great and it is definitely worth a buy!… Expand

    When I played the first Destiny, I thoroughly enjoyed the multiplayer though was very disappointed by the campaign.

The characters are more interesting (and funny),When I played the first Destiny, I thoroughly enjoyed the multiplayer though was very disappointed by the campaign. It was very short, boring and doesn't give you any interest in any of the characters whatsoever. This time however, its the other way round. The campaign in this new instalment is definitely an improvement from the first one. The characters are more interesting (and funny), starring Nolan North as the Guardian (big fan of his work), but the gunplay feels smoother, it is less repetitive and it has a much more engaging narrative and amazing graphics. So what is it that really lets this game down for me? The multiplayer. This is a big factor for me because once I complete the story I will be ready to spend the rest of my time with this game on the multiplayer like I did in the first Destiny as I did not give a s**t about the story. Unfortunately for me, that was simply NOT the case. When playing the open beta I was not impressed with the multiplayer. Was it the imbalanced classes, the boring game modes, the short and boring rounds or the broken mechanics such as the class abilities or the stiff turning controls? It was all of them! Though I still went and bought the game mainly for the campaign and because I though that this was just the beta stages of the multiplayer. I knew there would be more maps, classes and game modes which it does offer but all the problems are still there. All of the classes are very imbalanced with some being overpowered and others being underpowered (for example the Hunter is OP while the new Warlock is very underpowered). The entire game itself is a combination of Call of Duty Infinite Warfare and Halo 5. I hated Infinite Warfare and if you did than you will not enjoy this. I did enjoy Halo 5 however. In the first Destiny there was something in the multiplayer that made these two combinations work, with this game however it feels very wrong. Is it because of the futuristic entries into the COD series we've been getting such as Infinite Warfare or was it the disappointment with Halo 5. I could spend an hour of your time saying everything that is wrong or doesn't work in the multiplayer in detail, but to summarise it, it is average at best and boring, frustrating and imbalanced at worst. And for some reason the gunplay in the singleplayer feels really good, even when you team up with other players, but in the multiplayer, the Warlocks guns for example are P-Shooters. Either that or the enemies I fight are bullet sponges. When I say the multiplayer is frustrating its in times such as when I get killed by an enemy I should've killed because I started shooting them first with most of my bullets landing on their body. They obviously had more armour than I did, but with a better gun at the same time that is capable at getting headshots easier, which is probably why they were able to retaliate and kill me, but like I said the classes and weapons are so imbalanced and the abilities are so inconsistent. Overall I would not recommend buying this game just for the multiplayer unless you love the futuristic shooters such as Infinite Warfare, than I would say yes, but wait. If you wanna buy this game for the single player, even then I wouldn't recommend it. As much as I enjoyed this games campaign, it was annoying how you must always be connected to the internet even when you just want to play solo. That was the same problem that the original Destiny had. The campaign is about no more than 10 hours long. If you wanna buy this game for the single player than I suggest wait a couple of months for a couple of price drops, than you should pick it up as it is definitely worth paying attention to unlike the first destiny. It seems that the game got almost everything right with the single player improving from the original in almost every way, but they just ruined the multiplayer for me. The multiplayer in the first Destiny was not perfect but was very fun and enjoyable. I am disappointed how instead of taking everything good about the original Destiny's multiplayer and make it better, they almost completely f**ked it up, but at least flag capture was untouched, which is good because its my favourite in this game but bad because I wished they would've improved on it because I found it only decent in the first Destiny. I just hope that either they make some major changes to the multiplayer throughout the course of next year or that Destiny 3 will do everything they did right with the multiplayer from Destiny 1 and not like Destiny 2 and that the campaign is just as good as it is here, because so far, once I fully finish the campaign, this is a game that I will forget about a couple of weeks later until either I trade it in or until the multiplayer is reworked. If it is, then I may do a re-review and re-evaluate my opinion on the multiplayer because so far I am NOT impressed what so ever. This game is definitely another disappointment just like the original but in the opposite way.… Expand

    Ok, everything I was expecting. The core mechanics from the 1 are there. Thankfully it's one of the best interface ive seen in a game. The graphics are phenomenal. On my ps4 Pro I never seen a game popping that much out of the screen. The color and the lights are getting me out of this world. Don't worry to hit level 20 because that's when the game start in my opinion. A masterpiece from bungie.

    I wasn’t a huge fan of the original destiny, I ended up giving it a 6.5... It just never felt like a complete game to me…
    This time around though... Destiny 2 definitely feels like a complete game…
    You start out choosing a class for your preferred playstyle, creating your character... then you’re thrown into the world of destiny… right in its story…
    The story isn’t uncharted level… the writing isn’t that great.. But its passable... and the characters you meet throughout have characters… there are cut scenes... it isn’t just background noise like the original destiny…
    Still again the writing isn’t great so I felt no urgency trying to take down the bad guy and save the traveler…
    However this is still a very real campaign…
    The campaign is about 12 hours long, its cinematic at moments but missions finally feel unique... it isn’t running through the same map just a little deeper each time like the first destiny…
    No... There are still planets here... but these planets have story missions that take you to completely new and fresh locations to complete missions each time…
    You’ll be doing a mix of straight up clearing areas of a variety of enemies that will occasionally even be fighting each other, taking down mini bosses, main bosses, vehicle levels…
    the campaign feels fresh throughout…
    However to me it sort of loses its spark halfway through and starts to feel a little more lazy with its missions structure and level design feeling more like original destiny… not quite as bad... but it gets close at time… improved like the story and campaign is the loot drops…
    They’re not too frequent, not too rare... weapons feel unique so there is plenty here to fall in love with...
    though a few things have changes with the weapon and armor system…
    First the same... there are different subclasses you can unlock for your guardian and dump skill tree points into your preferred Grande type, shield type, jump type, and enhancements for your grenades and super move which like the grenades are on a cool down and can be boosted with combat and armor…
    you still slot armor and dismantle them for parts and cash to buy weapons off of characters… but different is the fact that shaders are now micro transactions because of course they are… these items can only be used once on individual weapons and gear.. and in a game like destiny you’ll be swapping in new gear every hr. at the most, extremely slimy….
    but new to the weapon system is that you still have 3 weapon types but this time you have a kinetic weapon, an energy weapon, and a power weapon…
    There is no main, side, and heavy like your typical shooter..
    Kinetic and energy weapons are exactly the same weapon types, however one has an element attached to it which is used for shooting through enemy energy fields…
    I thought this was a pretty cool system as it encourages constant weapon swapping
    this means though that there are no more rocket launchers… instead shotguns, grenade launchers, and sniper rifles live in the power weapon slot…
    These weapons have such a small clip and ammo capacity that they’re practically useless outside of boss battles..
    which are done much better this time around, as is the delivery of the campaign itself…
    The campaign is actually paced this time with a couple of missions requiring you to reach a certain level before you can progress the story, so that the campaign is very beatable playing solo…
    Level requirements usually annoy me.. but they annoyed me less here because there is so much to do on these planets… there are adventure missions which are essentially solo side quests, there are public events where you can team up with random players to take down a huge wave of enemies for some rare gear, strikes are back where you go through a dungeon to take down a massive boss with a team of 3, and then there’s the crucible which to me is the only thing I feel took a hit…
    The crucible is a pvp mode like call of duty, where you’ll randomly play kill confirmed, death match, and kill confirmed type matches against other players with weapons and shields balanced to take away that level advantage… but this time its 4v4 instead of 6v6 and because of that matches just felt less fun to me... the crucible was my favorite part of the original destiny, but here things just aren’t as hectic…
    teams huddle up together for easy kills against single players its just not fun, and in quickplay there are only 2 maps and it takes forever to find a match compared to competitive with its 6 different maps but still slow match building times
    No raids to talk about yet, those start dropping next week…
    But as someone not a destiny fan, I think it says a lot how much I enjoyed this one more even if its competitive modes to me aren’t as fun

I was hoping there would be two or three raids open the day the game released so that players had a ton of progression to look forward to but they don't. The first raid will be completed in one day by some elite gamer crew then everyone will rinse and repeat. Then you'll be standing around town with nothing to do but kill the same **** you've always killed with much better gear then when you completed the raid... it just doesn't make sense why we have to buy the next expansion to get the next raid. Money? More then likely... There should be higher end raids that only a handful of people get into but there is not. This is a rpg made for the masses and its obviously brought down to that level because of it... that is why Destiny 2 suffers to achieve what it set out to do originally.

    The graphics and sound are top notch. The gaming mechanics are as good as they get with a shooter. As stated previously the story is intriguing and actually helps define more about the Destiny universe, much more than the original.

    To me this game is worth buying, playing and enjoying. I'll get hundreds of hours of playtime with it and enjoy most all of it. Will there be some grinding... sure. If you've ever played any game with levels and loot you know there is always grinding to be had. But if you don't enjoy leveling or seeking some rare item that takes time to get you should switch entertainment forms because that pretty much sums up gaming in today's world.

Strikes take anywhere from 5 minutes just to que a random matchmake amd PvP sufferes an extremely long 10 minutes. My controller shutsoff at this time. Weapon design and creativity is hit or miss. Yes, the look of D2 is pleasing, but after visiting Titan youll see where all the resource went too. Its like D2 isnt really D2. More like an annoyance. The grind is still there unfortuanately. The only difference is that it feels far less rewarding. And thats where D2 fails. Its not n average shoot and loot game anymore.

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

    Most of the enemies are the exact same or reskins from D1. Boss fights and other things are all the same. Bullet sponges and hundreds of adds. The story was an improvement, but at a mere 8-12 hours it's not exactly meaty.

    Maybe after multiple expansions this game will be worth the Destiny 2 name, but at this point in time it definitely is not.

I'm looking forward to the raid next week and some pvp now the servers are online, but based on the single player experience so far I should probably give it an 8 having only played half the campaign, but I feel from what I've played that this gets a well deserved 9 from me, and could well be a 10 once I've played all it has to offer, but we will see. Bottom line- It's a complete blast and an awesomely fun game. It might put rainbow six siege at risk as my new go-to shooter, as both the gameplay and gunplay are seriously addictive.… Expand

The story-telling is fantastic and an incredible improvement to Destiny 1's disconnected and mostly confusing plotline. Outside of main story missions, there are a plethora of activities for players to do: public events, lost sectors, strikes, patrol missions, PVP, Adventures, and of course the upcoming release of the raid. After +1000 hours of Destiny 1, D2 feels fresh, active, and most importantly fun! Joining a fireteam with friends and going on missions and strikes is incredibly satisfying and a hundred times better than D1 where you would have to leave the planet to go to orbit before selecting the next event. In D2, my friends and I have been able to jump into a mission in the EDZ, break down at The Farm, and get right into the strike playlist with no issue and the ease of slicing butter with a hot knife.
    I fully plan on playing the hell out of this game, and once you start playing it's very hard to put down. One second you are running through an 'Adventure', the next a public event starts and you start doing that, and a wandering world boss comes up and joins the fray. It is a step forward for the franchise and I cannot wait to get my hands on the new raid in a week!

In general, Destiny 2 is EXACTLY the same game as Destiny 1 with some revamped weapons and enviroments that the developers like to call "new". They're not new. You'll see the same areas with the same Vex pylons left and right and the same "revolver" type weapons with different reskins. The gun sound is a lot better than the first Destiny I'll give them that. But overall this game is not even an expansion.

    In all honesty, the amount of "reviews" here that are flooding the scoring system is baffling. It is sad to see Activision's marketing campaign worked so well.

    Destiny 2 is definitely not the sequel we hoped it to be. A lot of the promises and premises alike were left both untouched and unmentioned, leaving us with a husk of a game made by a husk of a studio. A lot of things went wrong and I will try to get as much points discussed as possible as a note to anyone still considering whether or not to buy this game.

    Every Bungie/Activision-selected review mentions the artstyle and graphics of the game, and you barely can have anything against that. The artists really made both D1 and D2 feel very immersing and atmospheric, and I would definitely recommend checking out Destiny's concept art for more of that feel. Improved textures and effects do help, but not by a large margin. The graphics shouldn't be a selling point by this time as the eighth generation of consoles is old enough not to have games as tech demos. The 30 fps doesn't help either, and that handicaps the game even more.

    The story isn't reminiscent of anything Bungie can make. It is very clear that the studio and the publisher are trying their best to attract a wider demographic, but the plot suffers from that greatly. The game uses every opportunity to present you as something mighty and powerful, usually exaggerating. The plot doesn't follow any serious themes either, focusing on something easy to understand and get into, and, because of this, it's easy to see through. Bungie is known to have a plot in their game that can be both entertaining and intriguing, yet sadly, Destiny 2 is not that kind of game.

    The gameplay mostly remains untouched, but it is already seen from the get-go that any changes are made for the PvP audience, rather than for the PvE players. The gunplay is solid enough to be enjoyable, but that alone is greatly overshadowed by the techniques the developers are now deploying. Microtransactions have a more prominent role that gives actual loot instead of cosmetic items. Speaking of those, cosmetics are now considered to be a one-time use item, and that means fans of customizing their characters are going to take a hit to their wallets. The endgame suffers from the same problem of repetitiveness as it predecessor did, and by the time of this review, the endgame turns into a mundane grind. The introduction of the raid is not to fix much of the problem (I will gladly take my words back if proven otherwise, yet I highly doubt that), not to mention that most of the bosses still maintain that level of unoriginality Destiny 1 had (they are called bullet sponges for a reason).

    While the marketing campaign is blowing everyone away, their expectations are crumbling once they discover what a wreck this game appears as at launch. It is clear that pre-orders will make up for the majority of the income, and it's sad to see players and reviewers not to see the many flaws this game has.

    On a final note, I will strongly recommend that potential buyers check out more reviews and take both positive and negative feedback with a grain of salt, as well as hold tight to your wallet and keep it cool. For the time being, the game does not justify neither its price nor the microtransactions in it, and I would also recommend waiting for at least the first expansion and checking out the reviews on that one as well, as this could be the best chance to see if the player feedback is understood and accounted for or utterly ignored.    … Expand

    Microtransactions in a game especially when its taking away features that were more accessible in the first game and it might be just cosmetic but its a greedy move from a company that should just give us these features from the get go rather than hold them behind a pay wall.

    The weapon system is also good but compared to d1 more focused on pvp. Bosses in the normal missions are fun, in the strikes just complete damage sponges with the lowered damage output it's annoying.
    I'm gonna trust bungie that the raid is gonna be great (like most of the d1 ones).
    Skill trees are significantly simplified. It's a good in the way of having an optimized build it's bad because of individualisation. It would be better if you could just use whatever you want (like in d1) than having the "optimized" build.
    It's also sad that all classes only got one "new" subclass the rest are basically the same as the old.
    But bungie good job it's a really fun game it's not perfect, it's good at best better than base d1 so let's hope the dlc make it better. And one more thing why not just give us a really good game at base instead of having an ok to good game to make it good with dlc...

Now there is also another problem that says "You don't have permission to join this multiplayer" which prevents AGAIN you from playing.

    The "global" events, whilst more frequent are the same every time. no variation or change. just the same boring crap. Again Bungie getting players to grind it out like a boss to get find anything decent.

    The crafting quality is literally basic as hell. On top of this, the entire Buy/Sell with suppliers is limited to basic generic items and god forbid they offer you more than 5 options at a time, most of which you wouldn't even consider if you were in desperate need.

Overwatch was so good if they make a game about pigs riding ponies in the amazon I will probably buy it because it will have free DLC's and a good story line. Are you taking notes Bungie?… Expand

    Impressions so far (will update the score the more I play - if my opinion changes). It looks really bad on consoles. Playing on a PS4 Pro, the frame rate is what bothers me the most. The lighting can look OK at times, but the 30fps is just terrible for FPS games. The music often feels completely out of place with the scenes as well and a lot of the sound design feels flat an unimpressiveImpressions so far (will update the score the more I play - if my opinion changes).

    It is a breath of fresh air after the first. Lots of positive changes. Questing is a lot more intuitive as well as patrolling. Its a great sequal in my opinion. You can prettu much disregard most reviews containing a zero.

    Destiny 2 has made an improvement in nearly every single regard. The gunplay stays mostly the same but feels crispier. The sound design is more defined and the soundtrack itself is fantastic and mixes in with the game itself very well. Lost Sectors and Adventures are a blast and give you lots of cool new lore and information about your enemies and locations.

Lost Sectors and Adventures are a blast and give you lots of cool new lore and information about your enemies and locations. I'm not much of a PvP player but in my time playing it I did enjoy myself. I don't see myself playing it a lot because in Destiny 1 I sucked and I assume I'm going to suck here as well. I enjoy the story missions and each feels as if It actually has a purpose. The cutscenes are also fantastic. Giving you snippets into the situation of the Cabal on Earth.

    The grind is back, at least in the early game, using a weapon you really want can be annoying. I have been forced to use a scout rifle I hate because it has a higher power level that I need for the mission. In the end game you can infuse, but in the beginning, it is annoying. The new Public Events are a blast and the director is a huge improvement.

    Graphically there isn't much improvement but Bungie is managed to make it look much better without improving resolution. New details in the game make each enemy and surface look more smooth and the lighting is improved drastically.    … Expand

    Can you name 1 thing that they couldn't put in an expansion or DLC and not an entire new game? Didn't think so. It's an obvious sequel just because. Don't waste your money.

    The new weapon system sucks I really hate how a sniper and shotgun is in the heavy slot,seems they are catering to PVP with this choice.Also pvp is now 4v4!!!2 less then destiny 1
    The skill tree is also very weak.with the same subclasses
    i thought there would be more planets and there's less? I don't know man maybe raids will bring be back but I'm BORED!!!!!!

    I have to give this about an 8 because although it simply feels like a large expansion, which it pretty much is, it changes the game completely. You have all new areas, and new adventures to have fun in. I played Destiny 1 a good amount but didn't have as much fun as this. I played the beta on all the systems, including PC.

    Don't mind the low scores, they are just idiots who haven't even given the game a chance and are just posting spam.

    If you liked the original, and wanted a better story, this is the game for you. It has a better story, basically the same combat, and more open world(not much more open, but it's better) than this is perfect for you.

    I just hope Destiny 3 will have pure open world. That's my only hope and that's why I can't score it any higher.    … Expand

    Bad game with full of bugs. Finished campaign in under 8 hours and then im offered to pay $30 for more content. Endgame is only about grinding campaign missions. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME

    Its nothing more then €69 costing DLC

    Really would've loved some new stuff, but its just more of the same ol' stuff. Its a real waste, this game has amazing potential, they just refuse to live up to it

    The only redeeming quality to this game is the graphics, with everything else being dull and bland. The gameplay is horrendously boring with both PVE and PVP being a total snoozefest. Maybe if they focused more on the actual game mechanics instead of graphics and marketing this would be a decent game.

    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.
