    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.

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.

    * Why have skill points if you can only spend on one part of the tree at the time? This is just an illusion of choice. Introduce real and meaningful alternative traits.
    * Why is the main character mute during the story? This fundamentally straightjackets the type of story that can be told, all for the incredibly misguided principle of Bungie's "not putting words in your character's mouth". Well, that only works if you can *say* something yourself. If you can't, well, then put *some* words in there or else we will just be the mute sidekicks and lapdogs that do what everyone else tells us to do.
    * No meaningful item use, gun customization (to offset lack of perk RNG), quest system, lack of real NPCs with stories and chat dialogue. All the *world building* that Destiny so sorely lacks.

    You could say that many of these things don't matter and that it's demanding too much. But the problem is that Destiny is consciously aiming to be a mixed MMORPG/shooter. If it *consciously* wants to inhabit that space, it automatically is on the hook for implementing the most basic systems that are expected in the respective genres.

    Aside from this, there are the little things that are just facepalm-inducing in this game.

    * Why no sparrow horns?
    * Why no post-mission stats?
    * Why only 4v4 in PvP? Why not have both 4v4 and 6v6 modes? 6v6 is incredibly fun most of the time!
    * Why cater **all** the game mechanics to be beholden to PvP, and refuse to have separate PvE and PvP systems? This results in inevitably twisted game mechanics. Whoever heard of a FPS where your shotgun is a "power" type weapon instead of a secondary? These are vagaries of Destiny PvP that have forced themselves onto the entire game. The collateral damage is that PvE is now a predominantly primary-only snoozefest, and every boss is basically like good ol' Rockets McDickface (though not as bad as the OG one).

    It's like Bungie decided to play whack-a-mole with all the little aspects of Destiny they wanted to improve, without stepping back for a second and looking at the big picture to see if the resulting changes would make *sense* when put together. There is a role for bottom-up game design, but you have to have **some** top-down design or else the result will be a hodgepodge of lateral and vertical changes, with little sense of improvement in overall direction towards the **vision** of the game.

    And oh god the story. It's much more fleshed out than in D1, that's for sure. But boy is it *cheesy*. That wonder I felt in the early stages of D1, of vast dystopian worlds with so much mystery and room for imagination, is now firmly out the window, and replaced with cheesy tropes, "rah rah our hero is the bestest", and overly excessive humour.

    In essence, there is a lack of vision for Destiny. There **was** a clear vision during the development of D1, but that was famously gutted at the last minute, and we are suffering from the consequences to this day. Is it a serious sci-fi story-driven shooter? Is it a competitive PvP game? Is it an RPG with meaningful loot and character progression? Or is it a tongue-in-cheek casual FPS (like Overwatch aims to be)? At this point, the answer is "a bit of this, a bit of that, but all mashed together and not doing any of them well."

    Instead, to make it work, Bungie forces artificial grind (ooh now we can only infuse using weapons of the same type, extra grind yay!) to *compensate* for the lack of meaningful quests, story, and so on, which themselves stem from a lack of true world building and clear-headed implementation of *basic* MMO game systems.

    As a D1 veteran who invested many hours in the game, and a long-term MMORPG and FPS fan who is begging for a true union of the two, it's frankly more than a little heartbreaking.    … Expand

    at the end of the day destiny 2 really just feels like destiny 1.5. in some ways certain things feel like a step back in the wrong direction. content is spoon fed and extremely bland and boring. this time around its extremely heavily wighed down by the microtransactions... Theirs a lot of amazing potential for this franchise... just not under activision. i haven't done the "raid" but after destiny 1 where you can push the boss off and win and unplug you're enternet, i don't have any high hopes for it. better off passing on this game and playing something else. still no mmo aspects, (or even basic stuff like trading and talking...) really just rinse and repeat.    … Expand

    No new enemies, classes, etc. Shorter story campaign than the TTK expansion, less strikes than the TTK expansion. This is not a sequel. it is an expansion. Story and cutscenes are worst I've seen for a AAA game and it's sad that Bungie moved backwards with their IP instead of doing something truly unique and interesting. Still a good shooter, but is a bigger disappointment.

    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

And a really lame attempt at being an mmorpg... and that is what kills this game for me. It's pretty sad that the first raid isn't even up yet... not even a complete game. I was hoping there would be two or three raids open the day the game released so that players had a ton of progression to look forward to but they don't. The first raid will be completed in one day by some elite gamer crew then everyone will rinse and repeat. Then you'll be standing around town with nothing to do but kill the same **** you've always killed with much better gear then when you completed the raid... it just doesn't make sense why we have to buy the next expansion to get the next raid. Money? More then likely... There should be higher end raids that only a handful of people get into but there is not. This is a rpg made for the masses and its obviously brought down to that level because of it... that is why Destiny 2 suffers to achieve what it set out to do originally.

    So i've played closed to 5 hours of Destiny 2, reached level 9 and i must admit, i'm a little disappointed with it as an overall game.

    Secondly, the levelling system is just rubbish. 1 Skill Point acquired per level only to be presented with ONE option to use said still point. Why not just unlock the ability as you level as the skill points are utterly useless.

    The "global" events, whilst more frequent are the same every time. no variation or change. just the same boring crap. Again Bungie getting players to grind it out like a boss to get find anything decent.

    The crafting quality is literally basic as hell. On top of this, the entire Buy/Sell with suppliers is limited to basic generic items and god forbid they offer you more than 5 options at a time, most of which you wouldn't even consider if you were in desperate need.

    On a positive note, the graphics are truly stunning, especially in the cut scenes. some really terrific work here.

    Overall a very rinse and repeat effort here. One for the die hard Destiny fans. For those looking for a little more in both mental stimulus and storyline, this is not the game for you.    … Expand

The time spent bouncing in and out of orbit has been drastically cut. Public events now have markers with timers. The map is now something useful. It is a great example of an improved user experience.

    My main gripes are with PvP in the Crucible. Matchmaking seems to take an eternity. I expect this to be improved. The biggest issue to me is that all PvP is now 4v4. Combined with the long time to kill it makes the game feel slow and awkward compared to the fast paced action of D1. If I wanted slow and tactical I'd go play R6 Siege.

    Overall, a better experience than D1, but it winds up just feeling like more of the same. I like it, but I don't love it. Maybe that will change with more updates(or inevitably DLC), but until then I'm feeling a 7.    … Expand

In general, Destiny 2 is EXACTLY the same game as Destiny 1 with some revamped weapons and enviroments that the developers like to call "new". They're not new. You'll see the same areas with the same Vex pylons left and right and the same "revolver" type weapons with different reskins. The gun sound is a lot better than the first Destiny I'll give them that. But overall this game is not even an expansion.

    This game is just a long DLC of the first game. The story line doesn't answer questions but is just a setup for the DLC.

    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

Most people who claim to enjoy Destiny 2 are simply addicted to it and can't look at it objectively.… Expand

    First time writing a review. Not impressed by the lack of changes to destiny 2 and for the price all this microtransaction nonsense ...seriously and no sparrows! And even colour schemes are one time only....and so we grind.

    They promised they had improved the story and the grind but its not much of an improvement sadly. After 1 game and 3 expansions this feels like the fifth and    First time writing a review.

    After 1 game and 3 expansions this feels like the fifth and most expensive installment.

    Not what i hoped for and the pay to win garbage is just sad and offensive. Greedy corporate junk ruining an otherwise good game.

    The game again feels unifinished and another opportunity to make money from players for little return.

    An easy 7 without the microtransactions but a 5 for wasted opportunity.    … Expand

    Shaders are one time use now? Micro transactions? Loot and XP boosts? Again, one raid to start and then the rest are DLC? Lol. Heard this before with the 3rd raidless DLC. It seems they went the opposite way (more greedy) than they should've went.

    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.
