    Game is a joke way to short DO NOT BUY AT THIS TIME!!!!!!!! It is not even close to what was promised the game would be at launch. Get ready for all the DLC to milk your wallet dry.

    It's not perfect, but damn this game is a huge leap for the franchise. The story is epic, the missions are engaging and challenging, the gun play is best-in-class, and the worlds are so much bigger than anything else Bungie have built before.

    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.

The result of this is that this open area feels much bigger than Destiny 1's more controlled patrol zones with considerably less to do. 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. I like to learn stuff while I shoot stuff, and that's what adventures do. It's better than day 1 Destiny but not quite Taken King...so far.… Expand

    From what I've played so far, it's nothing short of amazing. This review could lower the more i play though depending how the rest of the experience goes. But i figured i would pop a 10 on he board right a way to combat all the angry trolls with daddy issues

(I realize the irony, but I'm just trying to "fight" it) I applaud the mediocre scored reviews as they had excellent points and I can definitely see where they are going. Piece of advice to those slapping on zeros, nobody is going to realistically take your review seriously.

    This game is solid. Real score from me is a 7.8/10. First off, I hated the original. It made me angry beyond all belief. However this sequel has a coherent story, great coop play, and is over all a pretty full package as compared to it's predecessor. The beginning of this game really gives you a reason to fight and personally made me very interested in Gaul and his motivations. I hear raids and other game elements are on the way so no body panic. The campaign will definitely keep me busy playing it over again a couple times especially with friends! There isn't much else to say except it's a fun and large improvement over the first.

    Overall if anything coming out of my gob has peaked your interest in the slightest, I would recommend you at the very least give the game a shot, maybe during a sale or trial. Thanks for tolerating my incoherent ramblings.    … Expand

People are expecting a complete game right out the box" Why yes, romeosaint. people ARE expecting a complete game right out of the box. maybe theyre stupid to do so in 2017, or any year after 2010. years in which games are released half finished or broken and idiots still continue to preorder and fork out their hard earned cash for half jobs and held back content. where consumers are willing to pay 60 bucks for a quarter of a game and then an extra 30 for the rest of the game. what you are saying romeosaint, is that people should expect LESS than a complete game when theyre paying 60 bucks for it? okay bro, maybe youre right by todays standard. but jesus christ. its so wrong that what he has said is true. WHY SHOULDNT WE EXPECT A COMPLETE GAME RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX? i implore you guys to stop showing these hack companies that youre willing to pay for anything less than finished and quality products. let alone paying before the product is even released to read reviews. stop.

    anyway. im about 9 hours in, completed campaign. somewhat an improvement over destiny 1. somewhat. its unbelievably cheesy and wants to make you feel like youre the bestest guy in the world. the thing with this is, you KNOW while youre playing that all of this campaign is just a means to an end. a very bleak end. i was hoping for more, more than just an rng grind like destiny 1. obscene hours of gameplay just so you can reach the correct level to be ready for each raid which are released at bungies leisure. destiny 2 shouldve been the game that lived up to the promises of destiny 1. we were promised a lot. we didnt get it.

    all in all, i feel destiny 2 is a carbon copy of the first game with some minor texture upgrades and slightly better story telling. bungie is writing scripts that THE ENTIRE WORLD will be able to easily understand so as to increase its consumer base. these games wouldve benefited to no end from some advanced lore and adult themes. but no. must include children to maximise sales. its sad. we lose out on what couldve been an epic series of games just so everyone can easily win and understand and progress in the game. this is a husk of a game. nothing complex or challenging in the slightest. another sad day for gamers.    … Expand

    Improvement on every level. If you were disappointed by D1, but like the core game play mechanics and idea of the game, I'd wager you'll love D2. Much more fleshed out product. Years of fine tuning the product are evident. A must own for any console owner who loves FPS.

    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.

    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.

They have added enhancement to what was already the most comfortable shooter on the market. The gun-play feels great with the most noticeable improvement being the crispness and variety of weapon looks and sounds. Visually it's beautiful, but the flow of the camera and detail in the corners really make the environments amazing. It has a great progression that actually encourages you slow down and enjoy the activity, quests, and exploration. Often we find ourselves rushing through a game to get to the end, but not so much here. I spent 90 minutes just doing three mission and two session of competitive play and took a break feeling fulfilled and excited to go back later. Most importantly Destiny 2 has lots of things to do that don't get boring or repetitive. Clan features are not yet active but I expect the integration will be tight and make it easy for clan members to integrate and (and most importantly) allow non-clan members to hook up and meet clans that can guide them through the end-game content. I'm super please and eager to get back into the world of Destiny at the end of my workday. Try it out, you'll like it!… Expand

    This game certainly has minor flaws, but the improvement over D1 is instantly noticeable. The story is strong, the scriptwriting is well-written at times. The mechanics are as sound as always and there feels like much more depth this time around. I would recommend to new and old players alike.

    It's certainly an improvement over the first game. Gameplay is tight as **** but I don't feel the need to grind anywhere near as much as I did in Vanilla D1, which is a good thing.

    Bungie knows how to produce tons of eye candy and how to convert you into an addict. They have no idea how to write a story and interesting text that is beyond the quality of Transformers.

All the NPCs always tell you what a great guy you are and that they never could have done it without you! For **** sake! The rest of the game is the same D1 RNG and mission grind as always. The new Tower is more interesting than the old, but you have to walk endlessly to do what you came for. In Warframe you can do most of your chores on board the ship, without loading into an MMO town. MMOs do it because you walk into a bigger world mostly seamlessly, while in D2 you still go to orbit. No walking out of the gate into the world.
    I guess the raid will be great again and that is the only thing really unique and goid about Destiny. It's all about finding 5 other people playing the raid to get top tier loot. Something they blew in TTK and won't this time. Since loot is RNG, you have to do it over and over again. Pull that lever sucker! PvP was what kept me doing D1 for a long time, because it was a blast with all the super abilities, but now it's a typical primaries only fight that some other titles do better. Bungie also has still not invested in dedicated servers and uses a P2P hybrid that sucks. That's why they kept it to 4vs4 battles this time. You really only need this game, if you are a D1 addict. All in all, D2 is the same slotmachine paired with an FPS D1 was.    … Expand

    Based on the campaign, open world and pvp gameplay alone, this would be a front-runner for GOTY. Incredible graphics, best gun feel on console (Bungie signature), the improvements since the Beta are noticeable. Looking forward to the endgame and upcoming content releases.

    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.
