    Its the best rpg looter shooter game out there. The best content. You can always find yourself with something or the other to do in the game, never gets boring. Sound tracks are the best.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Destiny 2 ficou marcado na minha vida como o melhor RPG multiplayer que eu já joguei. Apesar do jogo ter sido destruído em 2020 por ganância da Bungie, seu período de 2017 à 2019 foi a verdadeira "Era Dourada". O jogo possui a melhor jogabilidade para um FPS que já vi, com mecânicas simples e viciantes que te faz aprender rápido a como ser um completo "Deus" no jogo, onde vou a matar inimigos que sinto que são mais fracos do que o meu personagem. Além disso tudo, a história com lore nesse jogo é uma das mais completas que existem, acrescenta uma atmosfera pós-apocalíptica um tanto inovadora, onde dessa vez não estamos tentando sobreviver com limitações, e sim somos apoiados por um Deus cósmico para retomar tudo que foi tirado dos humanos na história. Nisso, o jogo era maravilhoso, até mesmo na presença de expansões com preços abusivos, mas ainda assim tinham alguns problemas, como a queda de quadros em algumas atividades ou em combo de super com outros jogadores, além da falta de conteúdo inicial para quem não comprava as expansões e o grande Crisol que está mais para um PVP repetitivo que se vê em qualquer jogo. Dito isso tudo, é um jogo que ficará marcado na minha vida para sempre!… Expand

    This game is a masterpiece, the best in its genre. Beautiful graphics, mechanics, very good extras. I've never played a better game. The creators of Destiny, Bungie studio is a very talented team, and under sony it will only spread its wings. A wonderful takeover, halo can hide. Microsoft, your punishment is not final.

    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.

It is just a better, more polished version of Destiny. I am looking forward to the raid launching next week, but in the meantime, I am having an absolute blast.… Expand

    This game certainly has minor flaws, but the improvement over D1 is instantly noticeable. The story is strong, the scriptwriting is well-written at times. The mechanics are as sound as always and there feels like much more depth this time around. I would recommend to new and old players alike.

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.    … Expand

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

    Excellent Game!!! going to give honest pros and cons, but first just want to say that people talk poop about this game alot, and they did before the beta, and they did for destiny one, and they will continue to do so. Its really silly, and 99% of them dont have any real reason for not liking it. Anywhoozey, Destiny 2 is a huge improvement on destiny 1.

    Lets start with the pros!    Excellent Game!!! going to give honest pros and cons, but first just want to say that people talk poop about this game alot, and they did before the beta, and they did for destiny one, and they will continue to do so. Its really silly, and 99% of them dont have any real reason for not liking it. Anywhoozey, Destiny 2 is a huge improvement on destiny 1.

    Lets start with the pros!

    -Mechanics! The game feels great! top tier fps, from the creators of halo, so expect that quality.
    -Loot! This game is all about finding the best weapons and armor. in destiny 1 the rate that loot dropped was way slower. Destiny 2 ups the ante a bit by making loot drops more significant! Also most of the legendary armor looks a lot like the armor that was harder to obtain in D1. Everything you do in the game gives you loot and everything is fun! you will constantly get sidetracked chasing side missions and tasks.

    -Story! Not something that bothered me in D1, but most people hated the lack of story in destiny 1, and they were right about it being nearly non-existent. Destiny 2 has a great story, with great sequences, set pieces, and characters, all connected through great CG cutscenes. The story is roughly 6-8 hours if you do nothing but the story, and missions are also alot meatier!
    -PVE/PVP! this game is a multiplayer game! But you can pretty much play the whole game without talking to another person. Play the way you want to play and you will earn rewards. Everything in the game can be played with friends. I play almost all pve and have spent hours without touching the PVP portion of the game. either way there is enough game to justify the price tag.

    Onto the cons section of the rant!

    Glitches/Fixes- Especially early in the life cycle there are minor glitches and hiccups. i have had enemies lag/warp across a room a few times. Also this game will have weapons and abilities that are way overpowered. fortunately bungie has hotfixes and patches that fix these things but as content roles out new op weapons and abilities will come out too. so if your super power titan is destroying people, expect that to be fixed.

    Microtransactions - There are microtransactions in this game. people are really upset about this one, but its no different than every other game with microtransactions. theyre all cosmetic! shaders, ships, emotes, auras. you do not have to buy them and they are not shoved in your face. you will also earn loot boxes to recieve these items as well. vote with your wallet on this one, but its no big deal. i spend 5 bucks on it every once in a while, but its worth it to me because i will dump hundreds of hours into the game.

    Rehashed D1 content - This is the only thing that i actually didnt like. There are specifically some items and abilities that were in destiny 1 that have returned in destiny 2. A few of them were altered enough to feel super new and fresh, but there are some things that just feel reused. if you didnt play destiny one much this wont really matter, but specifically with the hunter, the abilities all feel like destiny one, and theres only 1 new exotic helmet. Game still feels awesome, just disappointing when you want to see everything updated and new.

    There are a couple other things to mention that arent pros or cons just facts that you could take either way so here they are.

    -DLC! This game will have hundreds of dollars of DLC releasing over the next few years. If you love the game then its 110% worth it. but if you dont like the main game then dont buy it! More importantly, i see alot of people in comment sections talking about buying the game of the year edition with all the dlc when that eventually releases. My warning is that the goal of this game is to get to the end content where the best content is. This means that Everything but the most recent DLC is basically obsolete. So trust me when i say, you are not getting a killer deal when you buy the game of the year edition. your just buying the most recent expansion, the exception being the story. Since no DLC is out for D2 i cant verify that this is true for D2, but it was for D1, so hopefully they upgrade the old content as dlc is released with destiny 2, and if youre not sure then thats what i would look for.

    Final Thought: This game is great! Dont overthink it! If you enjoy a solid triple a shooter, with the ability to play with friends this is your game! bungie will continue to release new content, some free but mostly paid. Vote with your wallet and spend what you think its worth.    … Expand

    Destiny 2 is the way to go. It is a great shooter with MMORPG characteristics. The planets are bigger than D1 and the graphics make you feel like you're really outside the earth. Also, the campaign was good and try to explain many details in order to create a nice story. If you like sci-fi games or play Destiny 1, you'll enjoy the game a lot!.

    Ignore the nonsense 0/10 reviews. This game is everything fun about "Destiny: The Taken King", but expanded upon and revitalized. My only real complaint is the bullet-sponge bosses are still here, which aren't much fun in the face of lacking mechanics. Expecting good things for the raids however.

    A big improvement over Destiny 1 at launch. The campaign is engaging, there is lore in the side missions, there is so so much more to do, new zones are worth exploring, and the gun play as always is fantastic. Some negatives, similar enemies, classes lose alot of their customization, feels like a massive expansion.

    Absolutely fantastic. For someone who never played the first Destiny, I am not disappointed because it didn't meet my expectations because I had none! Not a perfect game, but by far the best and most addicting one I've played all year. It's a shame people rate this anything below a 5 for what is truly a well developed and quality game.

    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.

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.

    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.
