    This to is a Bungie game, it's as **** as Halo series and Destiny. I can't understand why these **** game creators aren't bankrupt yet, they only make mediocre and **** games.

    Destiny 1.5 has a lack luster UI, same rinse and repeat hord mode gameplay, story ending locked behind expansion pay wall, PTW micro transactions, held back PC version for Sony marketing reasons. Graphics and sound are great.

    The 30 frames per second lock is a joke for PvP. Reminds me of playing Golden Eye on N64 with 4 players.

    First and last Bungie game I'm gonna buy. So glad I just bought the base game.    … Expand

    Yay, lootboxes!

    You are paying for those extra profits with user ratings. I think you will find that in the long run, it's not worth it. Just ask Ubisoft.

    Hello microtransaction.

    If a game ask player to pay money to skip playing the game and get that thing naturally, it means the developer believe that their game is not good enough for player to actually play for enjoyment and give player option to skip it.

    This generation of gamers praises mediocrity. Case in point: Destiny 2. This game is filled to the brim...with the same shady **** as the first game. Eververse, recycled assets galore, 30FPS, no dedicated servers, storytelling catered to children to increase the userbase, and repetitive, horde style - bullet-spongey gameplay. Bungie has lost the magic it once had.

    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.

    campaign is only about 8 hours, and the endgame consists of repeating the campaign missions over and over again. No clans or raid at launch. Bosses are all bullet sponges. Feels like vanilla destiny with nicer textures.

    I'll breakdown why this game easily deserves a zero score, so people don't say I'm a just a 12 y/o hater. The game is beautiful, and shooting is nice, even though character movement is absolute dogsh*t, just like the first game. But that was expected. Now the cons:

    -1: a beautiful game running on 30 fps. Say what you want, I'm a PC purist, I don't care. A shooter with 30 fps in 2017 is unaceptable even by the lowest standards. They consciously made the game look good on screenshots, with complex particle explosions that will make your fps go to **** It's unbelievable.

    -2: They completely destroyed the shaders for the sake of implementing microtransactions.

    -3: PVP was downgraded from 6v6 to 4v4; and god how it feels amateurish; the way the maps were designed favours team shot everywhere, you're always secure in cover, you can always run if you feel you're in danger, so obviously what you do is wait for your team, and attack in bulks.

    -4: Bungie insists with P2P "servers" (and I'll insist giving this game a low score). Enemies are always teleporting, you're always like "WTF??"

    -5: They promised a better campaign but the story is actually much worse. Gary and the cabals are laughable. They don't mention a lot of important characters from the first game while others have central appearances but have insanely simplified roles (looking at you Speaker, if I can call that a role). When the game ended I was laughing in disbelief. The campaign is literally: lose the light > get light back > rascue zavala/cayde/ikora > kill Gary > the end. This is not a summary. If there's anything more one dimensional than this please let me know, I'm curious.

    -6: To accompany the game laughable campaign, they made sure we would feel like nothing is new. There's not even a single new race. You fight cabal, vex, fallen and taken all over again. It's incredible how they like the courage to be bold, to bring something fresh and breathtaking. The game have so much potential but I'm thinking the developers at bungie are just plain incompetent and unninspired. Is this really all they could come up with? I know there's presure from Activision to release stuff and all but someone must man up in there and make sure they do the right thing. It feels like everyone in there were good with the way things went.

    -7: Glimmer? Legendary Shards? What's with all these currencies you have no use for? The ONLY momment you notice glimmer even exists is when you open your ghost to see the challenges and there's freaking glimmer on the screen preventing you from seeing it (because you can either see glimmer or challenges) and everytime you kill an enemy the glimmer ammount pops on the screen instead of the challenges. It's like no one at Bungie played their own game.

    -8: The whole game feels like the first; there's no way you feel like this is a fresh experience. It's the same itemization, same menu designs, same freaking CLASSES. It's a DLC no matter what perspective you try to see it.

    -9: I remember Bungie saying how the planets were going to be much bigger in Destiny 2. Not only they killed the solar system planets (which were much more interesting), but they actually made them incredibly smaller. Titan is fully explored in 30 seconds using a sparrow. It's ridiculous.

    -10: Bungie/Activision are testing their fans to see how stupid they are, and they are really pushing it more and more with each game/dlc release. This DLC plan even before the main game comes out is ridiculous. They obviously hold on to content to sell in smaller batches; stupid fans will never have a full game with developers using this phylosophy. I'm not against DLC, but just look at the Witchers base game and DLC's. You may not like the game but CD RED Projekt has set the bar with The Witcher. And Destiny has set the lower bar. When you look at how much content per dollar spent each game offer, it's insane. For the same price you get roughly 15 times more content in the Witcher (yes I measured it). While in one game you struggle to do all content at least once in your lifetime, in the other you're constantly repeating the same boring stuff over and over again, to try and improve its life cycle, give it a grind here and there.

    In general the game is a DLC for Destiny 1, nothing more than that. The Taken King DLC had many more interesting things to mention. Destiny 2 is a marketing experiment. Luke Smith is a sociopath, I've been saying that for a couple of years now. It's a shame because someone in there know how to make a shooter feel nice. And the concept artworks are awesome. How can a strong foundation like this lead to so much mediocrity? I could go on listing the issues I had with this game but I'm afraid I'm reaching max 5000 characters so I'll just stop here for now. I hope no one will say I'm just hating on the game for no reason. I think I gave my reasons.    … Expand

    APPARENTLY IF YOU DON'T BUY THE DLC YOU CAN'T DO PRESTIGE RAID, PRESTIGE NIGHTFALL OR TRIALS. Seriously? Wow..... I don't know what to say. I mean especially for the PC Players this seems really unfair, and even for the console players, to be gated out of content they paid for and had access to. Just, wow. So I guess not buying DLC isn't an option anymore.... Extremely dissapointing.

    This is a loot based game that limits you on loot every chance it gets from chests to power upgrades to even repeating story mission - 3 a week only- you would be lucky to find 1 extra person to do a puplic event with and they also limit your EXP now after 20 to get you to buy more silver this is a horrible game do not buy it you have been warned.

    Also, the bug that drops the frame rate is the last nail in the coffin

    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.
