    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It recycled a lot of the first Destiny content in armor and exceptional weapons.

    The base game is short in content, and is exposed when they announce that in a couple of months will have an expansion $

    It's been a week and I still can't play it for more than 5 minutes without having it crash on my PS Pro. I've tried everything support has suggested and no help. This issue doesn't exist with any other game I've played. It seems this issue is widespread and they haven't given any ETA or info on a fix. This is troubling by both Bungie and Playstation.

    Improvements made across the board from Destiny 1. There is still room for improvement in PVP as far as matching goes but it's early on and I believe Bungie will address some of the main complaints in due time, or at least I hope they do.

    You know what, this game is awesome, some of these user reviews are absurd in their unwarranted negativity. Whatever gripes people had about the first title where taken care of this time around. The internet is weird sometimes.

    I see Destiny 2 as a worthy evolution of Destiny 1. I generally always play PvE so thats what my review focus's on.

    Pros • New Director available in all activities. • Gun classes change. Far more diverse weapon combos now. • Beautiful graphics. • Refined gunplay. • Less Grindy. I am not doing the same thing, so many different activities to level up(I'm at 250). Almost too many.    I see Destiny 2 as a worthy evolution of Destiny 1.

    Cons
    • Campaign. While improved and beautiful, still abit meh.
    • Currency. Maybe just me, but have not really spent any glimmer(except for treasure maps off Clayde). Most of the Vendor weapons become redundant very quickly as I can tell. I should feel the need to spend glimmer, not just horde it like I am. D1 had a Glimmer cap, that encouraged me to spend it.
    • Strikes not in Campaign. I still have only seen 4 of the potential 6 strikes due to it being random.

    8/10 for me. Most of my Cons are fairly minor. If the Raid is great it might be a 9/10    … Expand

Standard business practice for them the break the full game in to quarters and sell it to us over 1-2 years. Shaders are now single use instead of permanent? Is this a quality of life improvement?

    **** this game. These kind of policies are ruining the video game industry, and people who buy into this are contributing to that slow painful death.

    100 euros for the full game + microtransactions for randomized items, such as colors for armors and games that are consumed after one use.

    **** this game and **** anyone who buys it.

    puede que sea muy parecido al primero , puede que tenga los mismo problemas de DLC , pero para un fan como yo me encanto , tuvo una campaña muy buena , asaltos mas elaborados y un PVP un poco mas divertido , si te encanto el primero te recomiendo el D2 , pueden que los DLC valgan muy caros pero terminan siendo demasiados buenos y espero que los de este juego estén a la altura de los DLC de D1

    It improves in the right ways from the first. If you liked destiny you'll love Destiny 2. I couldn't get enough of this game from start to finish of the main story line and now I'm replaying as the other classes so I can have three high level characters.

    Roaming about with my friends and shooting aliens in Strikes (self-contained short-stories with unique environments) and public events (short missions that spawn in the open environments) is fun on par with Diablo 3's "grind for loot so you can grind faster".

    The campaign is short and straightforward; this isn't a choose-your-own-adventure RPG. I was told whats happening and what I was supposed to do, and I went and did it. It feels more like a prologue, and the snippets of lore I learn while playing strikes and exploring the world provides more insight.

    I keep seeing pay-to-win thrown around here. I'll lay it out, and you can make up your own mind. You can buy a Bright Engram (basically loot crates) with real money and there's a chance you can get some gear mods which do impact gameplay. Those SAME mods can be bought with glimmer (the in-game currency) from a merchant. In both cases, what you get is random (and in fact, the loot crate has a chance of not containing a mod at all). You also get a Bright Engram every time you level up and it has the same items potentially available as the ones you buy. You can 'dismantle' items from Bright Engrams, bought or earned, and receive a special currency that can be used to directly buy featured items (cosmetic or otherwise) each week.

    I enjoyed Destiny 1. Loved the art design, loved the gameplay and D2 is more of the same. There's a lot of people out there and everyone of them seems to have a different definition of what Destiny was supposed to be. For me, it's always supposed to have been fun, and it's that.    … Expand

    When I first began playing Destiny 2, within the first few hours I think I would've given it a 9. Then as the glamour and spectacle of all the new wore off, the cracks began to show.

Then as the glamour and spectacle of all the new wore off, the cracks began to show. While it's a wholly improvement over its predecessor in many ways, not having to go to orbit anymore, having a useable in-game map, and a story that is generally worth playing through, just to name a few, there is so much wrong here. Just plain and simple. Right now I would give this game a 6 on account of everything I've been playing so far, but I think that'd be a bit harsh given room for updates and DLC that may remedy some of the things I'm currently frustrated with. So here are the things the game does wrong, just wrong: There is absolutely no way to communicate with anyone in the world outside of emotes. When I'm running around why isn't there some method of proximity chat that way I can communicate with the living people in this world? Which brings me to my next point. The world. The world is pretty good. Definite improvement over Destiny 1, but still somehow feels constrained. The EDZ is essentially a giant circle, with the entire center portion inaccessible. Titan is just straight up cookie-cutter **** I've seen in tons of other games, except for the giant waves. Also, on a side note, there are really no interesting creatures in the world for me to fight. If you're going to add literally only two new enemy types which by the way don't make you change the way you approach an enemy, (you just shoot them) why aren't there at least rogue creatures in the wild for instance? The lost sectors are a nice improvement, but they feel absolutely pointless after you've reached level 265. The highest loot they really dropped for me was the same damn rare gear that I've already got at least 50 times no exaggeration, at a level below my current power level. The game could easily recognize that I'm level 270 for instance, raise the difficulty of the monsters in the lost sector to give me a truly difficult challenge, and then reward me with some respectable purple loot a few notches above my current power level. To me this seems like the most basic thing ever, and yet Bungie gives you the easy-ass mini-dungeon that I can basically sleep walk through. All the strikes are boring and uninspired, and many of them reuse spaces from the world. Bungie decided to remove a lot of little things that made Destiny 1 for me at least, a bit more intricate. For instance, no more strange coins, no more materials required to upgrade your weapons such as helium filaments, wormspores, relic iron. (We saw this trend of downgrading back in Taken King expansion when Bungie removed sapphire wire and the other two materials required I’m spacing on, to upgrade your hunter, titan, or warlock armor pieces, and replaced it with armor materials). No more exotic shards, and no more having to upgrade your gear at all. It’s ready to go out of the box and for me at least this is too much instant gratification. And also you get exotic gear when you’re level 10? It doesn’t feel exotic when it’s handed out like candy after playing only a few story missions. I could go on forever, but I think I’ll just wrap up by saying Destiny 2 is in many ways an improvement. But also in so many ways it’s a huge step backward. It’s definitely dumbed down. The problem is no other game manages to mix such addictive and strong shooting mechanics with magic like Destiny does. So people will keep buying the games, buying the DLC, and robbing Bungie of a sense of urgency to make the game the way so many of us would like it. I didn’t even mention micro-transactions. All I have to say about that is shame on you bungie, and I never thought you’d go that low. My respect for this company has dropped considerably after they told everyone they would never include micro-transactions apart from cosmetic ones, and they went ahead and did just that.… Expand

    I would love to write a review. But somehow, in the 21st century, companies still fail to anticipate traffic patterns. And because you can't play solo without connecting to their servers, you've paid good money for nothing if they are incompetent, which they are. So after an hour of "Can't connect, wait your turn" I'm torn between demanding a refund, or spurring on a class action suit.I would love to write a review.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. destiny 1 was bad, but this, this is a lilttle better. the game gets good when you get on the ending, but are you sure you want to waste lots of days of your life to get to the good content. btw, the content is still not good, but its satisfatory if you really like shooters, which i do.

    now to the bad points - this is based on bungies previous achievements and other great fps games.
    1- the story campaing is terrible- nothing really feels like happens, i sometimes got bored and turned on my tv, i used to play d1 while watching tv by how interesting and engaged it was.... this was irony.,
    2 - nothing happens in the story, --- oh, the city and plot blows up, but who cares, nobody dies really, the closest thing you see of an emotional shot is some bots being destroyed.... really **** in the game i felt more interested in stopping playing and go read something
    3 - theres not many fun moments in the main plot - its all so repetitve and easy it gets boring, the only good thing is the scenery in some missions and patrols and driving a tank, but thats it.
    4 - shooting is only fun in the harder dificulty missions, which they basically removed, but now there is only the strikes, the nightfalls and the raid, i wish there was no stupid time-investment bull**** to get me there, thats the only good thing in the game, in the previous game all missions had a hard versions FFS
    5 -patrols is still barely interesting - one questgiver, some missions and public events, nothing much, some are very repetitive, some are good, and some patrols are so bad, IO and Nessus are basically the same ****ty place, IO(i think thats the last map or is it Nessus) is just a **** terrible labyrinth of rocks
    6 - the community sucks - lots of people faking that they like it because some part of their income is related to destiny fanatics.
    7 - pvp became more boring - less variety and more repetitve encounters, dont misunderstand, its a tight game of skill, but thats it, the fun game that existed before in d1 got canned

    Destiny could have been more, but as a sequel, its a disappointment who thought Bungie would do a good job.

    But if you never played destiny 1 , rent this game or borrow a copy from a friend. if you cant do neither dont bother, just go play something good or wait for d3.

    Besides, finally there will be some competition for the market, hopefully that will make Bungie stop screwing around    … Expand

    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.

Seriously... Why the **** is this trash a full price game? LOL!

    These games are made for the stupid... Sorry to offend people who bought it but it's true lol. Hear me out...

    Micro transactions. Corporate greed. More money that they don't need. Many companies that work harder don't do this crap... But companies like crapdivision like to do it because they are super greedy and don't give a crap about how great of a video game experience you will have. Nothing says EF you to the customer more than this. A system designed to pressure suckers into wasting money.

    The developers only have so much precious time to work on the game in order to make it better and better. A game is only as good as how much work goes into it for the most part. They could be spending ALL of their time making it as good as possible but what do they do instead? They cut out a huge chunk of their time in order to implement a scam your wallet system. This isn't for the gamers... You're an insane idiot if you think that... Wake up! It's for corporate gains. Which means this is a game with no heart. No soul. It was designed to trick stupid people into thinking it's good while ripping them off big time. This isn't a matter of opinion. It's a fact that it's not a very impressive shooter compared to the greats I listed above and it's clearly designed to rip you off and pressure you into wasting more and more money on stuff that's only worth while to idiots with tiny brains/low standards. If you are one of these suckers then you seriously need to stop buying these games...

    And don't give me that "I love the game and never bought micro transactions"

    1... You're a idiot so of course you would love something mediocre/terrible.

    And 2... Even if you're telling the truth about not buying micro transactions (I don't believe you because you're a moron who's into this game in the first place)....... But if you are being truthful... Think to yourself right now... Think hard about something that I'm going to ask you here...

    Have you ever saw a micro transaction and felt some what tempted to buy it? The answer will be yes. As you grind and grind and grind senselessly whilst bored as hell... You're going to get a feeling that tells you that if you buy micro transactions, your grind will be shortened. Of course you're going to feel that way. That's what this system does. It's designed to tempt you into doing something that's totally not worth it. And that's what's wrong with it...

    It's a dirty trick and only idiots fall for it. Sadly most gamers are idiots which is why micro transactions are super popular in video games today. It's bad enough just about all of our multiplayer games are getting screwed like this... But it's happening to single player games too. The new Shadow of War will have them. How lame is that? DLC is bad enough as it's usually over priced weak sauce that should have come with the game. But micro transactions are really pushing it as they can cost you close to thousands if you go overboard like a idiot. My advice? Ignore games like this altogether... Besides... No micro transaction game EVER falls into the category of greats like ocarina of time, chrono trigger, smash bros melee, metal gear solid, star craft 1 etc etc... Why play a dumb ass over priced micro transaction game that's mediocre at best when you could be playing the best of the best? You know deep down that you're not missing out when you pass up a game like theftiny poo.

    Lets talk about the game play... Many shooters take a bit of skill to master. The good players can pull off some impressive stuff from time to time. You see that in shooters like the older ones. Quake, counter strike, halo ce... YOU DON'T see that in crap like Theftiny poo. In theftiny poo you see high auto aim, bullet magnetism, and super powers that any scrub can get good at abusing. The skill gap isn't that high. It's a game for dude bros. It's not for the skilled. It's for cod kids lol.

    The story... Part 1 didn't have a story and this one does but it's corny, short, and not interesting. The only good thing about it is a few jokes I guess but you shouldn't buy a game like this for its story. You can watch that for free on youtube.

    Content is low as crap. People beating the game in just a few hours and then what's left to do? Grind grind grind... Yawn...

    Maybe it gets to about a 7 out of 10 once all the DLC is released one day but at that point the game is massively over priced. It's already overpriced as it is. It's not even a expansion lol. I seen free games offer more than this haha! So I give it a 3 out of 10 for being the scum of gaming. Games like this are what's making new video games these days fail miserably.    … Expand

    Excellent shooter, just what I was looking for. I dived into Destiny when it came out and had a blast. And yes, for me it didn't last for months and months but all in all I got more then my money worth. Destiny 2 is still very much Destiny, which is a good thing for me. Even the same rants (and zero ratings) can be seen today for 2 as compated to 1. Awesome ;-)

I read a lot of reviews talking about the grind, as a long term MMORPG player this is childs play. 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.

    At 270 light I'm having alot of fun between doing strikes with mates, jumping into some pvp (crucible) or completing challenges to unlock new weapons.

    Cons
    UI was not improved from the original
    coordinating with fireteams in public events can been frustrating due to instancing
    the optimal way to get to end game loot is grinding public events which is tiresome
    other than emotes there is no way to communicate with people outside a fireteam
    No heroic versions of strikes. Just normal and nightfall
    end-game currently exists of upgrading your gear with 2 extra light levels until you hit 260. Trade all your tokens in to get 265 and grind exotic milestones (yawn) at least make the best gear possible to get in strikes.    … 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.
