    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

    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.

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

    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. I've seen similar evolutions in a game from a simple patch... but this is meant to be a brand new full priced game.. let that sink in for a moment.

    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

    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.
