    Don't bother with this game, Not completed (DLC already mapped out) Same old destiny 1 mistakes and boring game play. Story felt like i was reading a child book.

    So I have to pay for cosmetics now and they can only be used once?! This is a very anti consumer tactic and I won't bother trying this because this really offends me as a gamer.

    With an actual storyline and loads of endgame content, consistent loot and huge maps that contain many hidden areas with tons of side quests, Destiny 2's single player element is what 1 should have been. As far as PVP goes, I think Destiny 1 was more diverse. Competitive mode usually results in people rage quitting after a couple losses and you playing 1v4. I'd say PvE is a 8, PVP is 7.

    Where to start, only played beta but I agree this game is pretty much just Destiny 1 all over again, except now we need to wait for all the patches and endgame..My biggest complaint is that all the critic reviews are super high but the user reviews are so mixed. Like the companies just pay the critics to give them good scores so more people buy the game. It's false advertising.

    Does nothing to bring in anyone new to the franchise. If anything, the additional micro-transactions and failure to deliver new experiences will likely deter fans who had any hope left of this already fragile franchise.

    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

    When Destiny 2 was announced I was unsure if I would try it out. With Destiny you either loved it or you hated it. The story was virtually non-existent with most of it being on a website. It was a poor and lazy way to implement it, so when Bungie announced that Destiny 2 would have a proper story with all the lore available in game it was enough to convince me to give it a go.
    Visually    When Destiny 2 was announced I was unsure if I would try it out. With Destiny you either loved it or you hated it. The story was virtually non-existent with most of it being on a website. It was a poor and lazy way to implement it, so when Bungie announced that Destiny 2 would have a proper story with all the lore available in game it was enough to convince me to give it a go.
    Visually Destiny 2 features an expansive game world that is beautifully designed with plenty of detail. Each of the 4 new areas feels unique from Each other and are packed with detail meaning you can play hour after hour without the game feeling too repetitive. Destiny 2 feels very polished as you might expect, with the controls and movement all well established. The gun play is spot on with weapons feeling unique and different across the various classes. Fans who played the first game to death will feel right at home. Bungie haven't strayed far from their original formula in Destiny 2 but they've made a lot of important changes that give the game a fresh feel to it.
    The story is very much front and centre in Destiny 2 and it kicks off in spectacular fashion. Whilst I'm not a fan of the pre-rendered cut scenes used in Destiny 2 it's a minor distraction in what is otherwise thrilling storyline. The voice acting is well done and the characters are interesting. I did struggle to really care for my mute character at first although now I'm at end game I'm finding myself feeling more connected to him. The plot is perhaps a bit safe and whilst it ends as strongly as it started I felt it was a bit flat for the middle third. Over all its a massive improvement over the first game and I love being able to dive into the lore connected to certain weapons, in game.
    The story will take you around 12 hours to finish, if you don't find yourself side tracked by other activities. Once you hit end game you've easily got hours upon hours of content to enjoy and of course you'll be trying to max out your character so you'll want to dive in to one of the many quests, strikes, Adventures, public activities and challenges. All this can be done with different characters too so if you want to get the most out of the game I'd suggest going for one of each class.
    The strikes are challenging yet fun and reward you well for your time as do most of the activities found across the games locations. PvP though was perhaps the biggest surprise for me. I've discovered that I'm fairly good a Destiny 2 when partaking in PvP and I think there's one very good reason for that. Through out my time playing Destiny 2 I often felt like I was playing a Halo game, Halo 3 to be exact. This becomes even more so whilst battling it out in the crucible against other players. I often expected to see Master Chief on my screen. This is in no way a bad thing as it just shows how good Destiny 2 is. I've loved every minute of my time playing the game and my experience with Destiny 2 could not be more different to the one I had with the first game.
    That's not to say it's all good news because it's not I'm afraid. Rather predictable it seems Destiny 2 has been Activisioned. This is where a great game is made and then the corporate suits take over and throw in their microtransaction crap. Destiny 2 gives players the option to buy silver which can then be exchanged for in game items. These items seem to be random but you can pick up shaders (more on them in a minute), mods that can affect your character (arguably introducing a pay to win aspect) and a bunch of other stuff. Now shaders used to be a "once you have it you can use it over and over again" type thing. In Destiny 2 however you can apply the shader once and if you discard that piece of armour then it's gone. You can use them on each piece of armour (1 shader per part) meaning if you want to use the same shader on your whole character you need 5 of them and more if you want matching weapons etc. Adding random drops to that equation in my eyes is nothing more than in game gambling. Remember that this is a 16 rated game in the UK but one that kids much younger play. Yes I agree that I'm awash with shaders and that they drop like rain drops in England BUT microtransactions are in there for a reason and the temptation is there. You'll have to go to the vendor to collect an engram you've earned in-game and that's where they try to tempt you by showing you all the goodies you might be able to getFortunately, the bad is far outweighed by the good in Destiny 2 and like I said, I hated the first game but Bungie have nailed it in Destiny 2.    … Expand

    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.

    The story is good definitely an improvement from destiny one's base game, cause you have an actual goal. But the ending of the main story is just dumb (don't want to spoil it).
    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...

    I rate games based on how fun they are to play and Destiny 2 is fun to play. Is it as good as it could be? Probably not but nonetheless it is a fun game that has a decent story and will provide me with hours of entertainment whether playing with others or solo.

    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.

    I'm glad to see so many enjoying the game as I am. For those who hate it and have called it basically trash... I have a copy of Bound by Flame and Hour of Victory I'll gladly sell you.    … Expand

The end game content is actually fun and challenge based for example having to get X amount of head shots with pistols to unlock a specific item.

    Bungie have done a great job with the loot system too. Basically anything you do from PVP, to public events to strikes you're rewarded with gear that is incrementally better than what you have. This means whether you have 5 minutes or 5 hours to play , you're always making progress.

There's a large swath of people that were burnt by Destiny 1's launch (and for good reason, I won't dispute that), and just haven't let that go. But that's fine.

    But if you stick around for the long haul, Bungie is going to continue to improve, refine, and expand.. just like it did in D1.

The story is part of the same silly arc from D1, and this is not why you play Destiny, but the production values are much higher delivering a deliberately over the top and campy good vs evil campaign, while the new "adventures" offer small stories along with the gunplay in a more digestible format than the tired old cut scene approach we got in the opening section.

    Firstly, I would like to inform the reader that this would be my first analysis in Meta-critic.

    Destiny 2, compared to the original, is simply better because of the improvements that have been made not only in the campaign but also in the game's ability to introduce its story to the player. Some of the secondary activities the player can do, such as strikes, are much more in-depth and detailed. We can not forget that the addition of optional missions and the journeys in each world have diversified the "open-world" that the game presents. Personally, the most notable improvement was the satisfying gunplay that was missing on the original Destiny.

    Nevertheless, even with all these improvements that the new game presents, there has been the implementation and alteration of mechanics possibly unwanted by the community, such as the transference of secondary weapons to heavy weapons.

    We have to keep in mind that, for now, it is impossible to clarify an analysis of the game totally, since there is still content to be available to current players, such as Raid that launches on September 13, or the new PvP mode that promises to have a similar role to the Trials of Osiris.

    Note: Even though the story featured in Destiny 2 was considerably better, it still leaves something to be desired, since the mystery and seriousness of the original have been eliminated. We can say that the difficulty of the game is easier, but the time that the player has to spend to reach a high power level (270-300) is very high.

    For now, the repeatability that the game introduces to its players is vicious, just like its predecessor. We can conclude that the consumer can only hate or love the game.

    At the time this review was made, my hunter had 274 power, while my titan was 220 and my Warlock was about to end the campaign.    … 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.
