    Destiny 1.5 mega DLC priced as new game. Delivered a nice campaign but your speechless guardian ruins the entire story and makes you look retarded. The reuse of guns, enemies, sounds, etc is so ridiculously obvious. Fan boys and new fans will love it, everybody else who has played the first one and is a bit critical will hate it.

    The game is at its best when you play with friends. The visuals are to die for and if you are into loot the game has expanded greatly on the loot table. Also, the guns feel more real with better kick back and sound.

    Same old same old. Destiny DLC nothing more. Usual enemies on repeat for those mugs who can't see through the loot lust mechanics Bungie have on repeat again. Where's the decent content? It's only unlockable after you put 50 hours in on repeat. Being traded straight away

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

    Don't listen to the haters.

    Just to be upfront here: I did NOT play Destiny 1. At the time when it came out I was immersed in other games and other MMO's. The abundant amount of negative press the title garnered also didn't help. So when I say I enjoy this title, more than I thought I would I want it to be clear:

    -I had no prior experience with the 1st game -I am looking at the game with fresh eyes Even so,    Just to be upfront here: I did NOT play Destiny 1. At the time when it came out I was immersed in other games and other MMO's. The abundant amount of negative press the title garnered also didn't help. So when I say I enjoy this title, more than I thought I would I want it to be clear:

    -I had no prior experience with the 1st game
    -I am looking at the game with fresh eyes

    Even so, things Bungie did that has anger the player base has made it to my ears (the one use shaders thing.) Which even outside the realm of the title and my "newness" to the franchise is a crappy thing to do, even moreso when it was an unlimited use item in the prior title.

    With that being said, D2 is solid, better than I thought it would be. 1st impression I got the moment I started was: alright....so this is Halo. That's not a bad thing, but Bungie really...you could have strayed a tad bit away from Halo. the hive is the flood, the fallen are the covenant. Hell, the big bad guy is just a Super Brute!

    Shooting is super tight. I'm in no way amazing at shooters, but man, is combat solid. Gun choices are really good, but just miss the mark of being amazing. Maybe this is better at endgame (as of this writing i'm maybe a tad shy of the halfway point), but I found some great and some garbage (I hate any type of pistol. I ignore them, even if they are a massive damage increase. The recoil is crap mostly).

    Missions feel organic as do public quests...though the latter have little diversification. Once you do one, it's the same thing over and over. Still, they feel frenetic enough to keep the fight fresh.

    The story....is interesting. The one thing I heard about the 1st title was how crap the narrative was. Well so far i'm fine with it. It's no pulitzer, but it is far from being dull. I genuinely feel like a hero fighting back against a universal threat though not just gameplay alone; the story supports it, thus making it all the sweeter as you fight the red war.

    The music is sweeping and epic which makes both combat and the story reach higher levels than if they might have developed either thing alone (working harder on the story or the combat). Instead the soundtrack passively makes BOTH that much better.

    As for classes, I went with the Warlock. Can't say much other than the builds at this point (as of this writing i'm only lvl 12) don't make that big of a deal. The dawnblade feels like just an elongated grenade (about 3 seconds longer than the one you have). It's a CD ability that can hurt lots of targets, but that's about it. What makes combat any different than the Voidwalker or stormcaller other than the CD. The talents in each subclasses tree are more or less the same thing for ALL of the specs, it's just the super that really is any different. Subclasses seem more "passive" than being "active." The other classes seem to be the same thing from what i've read.

    I have just one concern and that is the accessibility of endgame content for the solo players. I, like many, don't really want to join guilds and do strikeforce-like content (be online for this event and such-and-such time). I love big event fights though, like a raid or dungeons but not ones that demand hours and hours of time per week to complete. Sure an hour or 2 to do is fine, but 6? Must it be with a group of people that always work together? For me, that isn't fun or frankly what I think of as a good use of my time, not when I can obtain gear and content at my leisure other ways. I don't dislike working with others....I just hate the old and played-out long form grindfest raid system that every MMO employs. I don't want super easy either, not something that equates to a bullet sponge loot pinata; just something in the middle.

    Other than that, I have no real complaints. The game looks great, plays great and seems well put together. Had I played the 1st one, I would most likely had more to take issue with. For a new player, it's worth your time to jump in. If you were expecting Halo....you're getting it...just with a different skin.

    Update: After "endgame" playing....there is little reason to continue. Strikes are fine and within the aesthetic of rest of the game (war of attrition to victory) as is the crucible. The place where actual gear is (nightfall strikes and raid) make the same mistake every single MMO does: funnel content into a bit-sized area antithetical to the product it is.

    Why ALL of the gear/content/progression is shoved into this teeny-tiny portion of the product is beyond me. Couple that with inane timers in Nightfalls and a 6HOUR raid is astonishingly dumb. The game is a world shooter with a few single player instanced challenges, but those are vastly outweighed by random group, undisciplined skirmishes. Why condition people for this, only to stick the best stuff behind tight/focused/strike force battles that unlike EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE GAME?

    It's no wonder people rag on this game.    … Expand

    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

    So sad. Just another mindless graphics fest, with rehashed concept and substance. Also, comes complete with glitches and issues. Thought Bungie was above this, but sadly, seems all game developers are falling to wayside of the bum. Lazy, uninspired, lack of attention to detail, lack of QA, etc. As long as people keep supporting these games by buying, you'll keep getting ripped off with junk.

    There's about 8 hours of campaign and then you get to spend eternity running the same 3 strikes over and over, it's Destiny with less content, better graphics, and microtransactions nothing has changed and I'm sure the DLC will be just as disappointing as they were in the original destiny.

I had to reset myself from the overwhelming distaste that I had after playing the first Destiny. This game, adds to the formula in the right direction, but it still is missing so much. Destiny still fails to identify it it wants to be a Call of Duty or an MMORPG. Some pros and cons

    Pros:
    - They got rid of those ridiculous scout missions and put in actual side missions that make more sense. That was long overdue.
    -People may rail against it, but I actually like the silent protagonist. The original character had no character or personality whatsoever and didn't feel like a good representation of me (especially since I created them).
    -The story while still meh is still the best one since TTK without a doubt.
    -The graphics are still beautiful (as they should be in a AAA game of this cost)
    -The NPCs seem to have a bit more personality in the banter of the quests. Make is not seem so vapid.
    -Super easy to level up (too super easy)

    Cons:
    -Bungie hit it out of the park when they added a sword in the TTK expansion. I would have loved to see them build on that with adding more melee weapons like a power axe, daggers, or something like that. A bow and arrow added to the weapons cache of the game would have been awesome. Instead the re-relegated the weapons system to the same old pistol, rifle, shotgun and you can only use a sword with the power up ability.
    -While they added side missions, I would have like to see them go somewhere with them. They end as soon as they start and are about as superficial as your average fetch quest in an MMORPG.
    -The global events are the exact same as Destiny 1 except in more frequency.

    Biggest con:

    -Building off what was said earlier, I don't get what Destiny is trying to be. Its formula makes no sense. It has less content than your average open world game, yet tries to make everything seem so social and open. Its an MMO with barriers (which is dumbfounding). With most MMOs (doesn't have to be RPGs) you have a wealth of content that you can spend your time doing even if it is mediocre. There is so much that Destiny could offer. I realize they are trying to make money, but still. How about a real crafting system for weapons and armor? How about battalions (guilds) instead of randomly being matched with someone you'll never meet again? As I stated earlier, how about an expansion of the weapons rather than just pistol, rifle, shotgun, grenade launcher? More raids? Longer side missions? More planets (its the future, even No Man's Sky got that right)? Different enemies? Long strikes? More of a sense of danger (Seriously, I never get worried in a fire-fight. There is a wealth of ammo everywhere)? Monthly events (and I mean real events).

    It just really seems like Bungie is going out of its way to make the smallest product that they can, hype it up, watch the money rake in, and pocket the money off the game and the $500 million loan. There are some basic things even the most superficial of gamers could ask for that would be a good idea, but Bungie seems content with just limiting itself which is sad honestly because this game has the map to be something amazing. It just isn't being done.    … 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. Unless you are CD Project Red.

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

    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.
