    I want to like this game but as others have said it's just a rehash of the original game... more like Destiny 1.5. I was hoping for some real mmo features but they must have to keep this game dumbed down for the masses. Why isn't there an economy wtih trading? Why is the loot so generic? Why aren't there any new classes? End-game content is spoon fed to players.

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 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. Here's to looking forward to Destiny 3...… Expand

    You know how the annual Madden game is little more than a roster update? Well, that's pretty much what this game is. There really is nothing more to say than that, if you played the first one, then you've pretty much already played the second one as well. So if you're the type to buy each new edition of Madden when it comes out, then you'll feel right at home buying this game.

    Absolutely atrocious game, if you want high octane fps fun, look no further than lawbreakers. Destiny 2's length clocks up to a minimal 6 hours and is massively overpriced.

    Basically Cabal DLC. Story is forgettable when we're expected to care about a universe we never got invested in. No new engine, no major improvements, shotguns and snipers are in the rocket launcher slots (????), micro-transactions right out of the gate in a AAA $60+ game (da fuq?!).

    You don't get a bike until after the campaign which I can only assume is a cheap trick to make the environments seem larger than they are. EDZ is about 2x the size of Old Russia, the other areas are about the same size as D1, no improvements.

    Lots of "side-quests" peppered around the worlds but using the term "exploration" would be a stretch. It's just like D1: Small, bland, empty and closed in areas that are packed with more throwaway side missions to create the illusion of content.

    It's an improved version of Destiny 1, but there's nothing here that makes it worth $60.    … Expand

    I had such high hopes for this game. Cookie cutter game of destiny 1.....this is practically destiny 1.5....the game we should have had 3 years ago. An 8.5 hour campaign that is ridiculously easy is not what I was expecting. Too bad Star Wars battlefront 2 is 2 months away from release. :(

There is absolutely no match making in destiny whatsoever, your ragtag team of level 10s WILL go against full level 20 premades almost every time. I get that i'm behind and naturally I shouldn't be trying pvp this early on, but I honestly didn't think after just 2 days everyone and their mother would be running around in full epics and exotics. Even with the infamous loot cave back in the day it took a while to get solid gear and levels, with Destiny 2 they pretty much took away all motivation to play since you're pretty much handed everything you need after only a handful of playtime.… Expand

    it looks and plays almost the same as Destiny 1. My biggest complain about D2 is that it's still 30fps. When D1 launched I also did not like this but in 2017 where every shooter is 60fps except Destiny, 30fps feels unbearable and unplayable. That's the reason for the 0 score. I can't play this anymore and returning it.

    No real improvements over the original Destiny. The DOOM-like feel of blasting your way through enemies makes the game quite boring. Hopefully patches will address this, as Destiny 1 wasn't really a great product from the get-go either.

    Who paid off these critics? Did they mentioned how there is no new enemies, less online content, a terrible online micro transaction system the game is built around and a publisher that continues to throttle XP to get you to buy more things with real world cash. Stay away from this game. If you do want to buy it, get it used to keep the money out of EA and bungie's greedy hands

    No real end game content and they've turned the PvP into a bland generic team shooter with little variety or content. Gear is no longer powerful, unique or interesting, just a boring D1 expansion essentially.

    Destiny 2 is unambitious and lazy. And once again, Bungie/Activision slap fans in their collective faces by releasing an addition that negates prior progression. The Taken King inexplicably locked away end game content that was present in the original Destiny since launch. Bungie penalized millions of fans who didn’t immediately purchase the upgrade.

And once again, Bungie/Activision slap fans in their collective faces by releasing an addition that negates prior progression. The Taken King inexplicably locked away end game content that was present in the original Destiny since launch. Bungie penalized millions of fans who didn’t immediately purchase the upgrade. If players didn’t buy Taken King, their disks became paper weights.

    Bungie amps up the screwing over of fans in D2 by literally resetting everything. NOTHING players did in the original matters. They start fresh with puny guardians. Destiny 2 tells us 4 things about Bungie: 1) Its “10 year plan” was rubbish and outright marketing hype. 2) Bungie releases content that's not worth the admission price while penalizing fans. 3) It lacks the creativity and foresight to move beyond the cash grab DLC formula. 4) Bungie submits players to relentless grinding for paltry rewards.

    Die hard Destiny fans think D2 is great. The rest of us are left scratching our heads. Compared to The Elder Scrolls Online, Diablo 3, Neverwinter, and the still free-to-play Warframe, Destiny is the most anemic and potentially most expensive mmorpg game on consoles. So why do fans like it? Because it’s freakin easy. Destiny is accessible, but it lacks the depth and nuance of better mmo’s. Destiny is popular because it’s a decent first person shooter, a genre that excels on consoles. As an mmo, Destiny is pathetic. It has just enough meat to reel players in, but not enough to keep them on the line.

    Combat remains samey. Bungie kept the same 3 classes. Weapons are pretty much the same. And like the original, progression happens too fast. D2’s terrible pacing leads to excessively contrived difficulty spikes (Bungie slapped a timer on nightfall strikes). My character was nearly maxed out after a single session. Most players will achieve everything in under a week. Some in a single day. Many players I’ve encountered have already created second and third guardians. That’s exemplifies the problem: there isn’t enough to do, and activities are basic.

    Guardian customization remains unchanged from the original’s measly offerings. So all guardians look alike, again. The social mechanics are still inadequate. Players must go thru extraordinary lengths to mingle with others. Just two weeks after launch, most locations are fairly empty. Public events are often solitary experiences. Developers at Bungie are the only people on earth who believe the antisocial nature of Destiny helps the franchise.

    What else hasn’t changed in PVE? Well, just about everything. Guardians fight the same baddies they encountered in the original using the same weapons and same abilities. A half-assed campaign is all that distinguishes the two apart. It sucks. Its brevity alludes to rushed development and the final cutscene provides a glimpse of future DLC. The campaign is a peace offering, not a meaningful effort to expand the Destiny universe. And Bungie butchered it for the sake of future cash flow.

    Bungie did dramatically change one thing, the loot/vendor system. It's royally broken. All RNG benefits lie in low-level events. This renders elite activities pointless, which is fine because they're unenjoyable anyway. Even worse, players can't buy gear once they progressed far enough. They must rely on a lottery to pad out their arsenals. It's a mess.

    The game engine needs an overhaul. Load times are annoyingly long. Even the map takes 2-3 seconds to appear, and it’s never centered over the player. The frame rate struggles to stay at the 30fps cap which makes for sluggish combat. D2 has solid mechanics, but it’s missing the fluidity of its competitors. COD, Overwatch, and Battlefield deliver solid performance and crisp visuals on large set pieces. By comparison, D2 graphics look washed out while being prone to frame drops and stuttering. Busy public events slow everything to a crawl.

    A few meaningful changes happened in the Crucible. Bungie made all game modes 4v4 while nerfing some weapons. Matches are less chaotic. Run and gun playstyle won't work here. It’s more balanced than the original but offers nothing worthwhile. Unfortunately, multiplayer still relies on bargain bin peer-to-peer connections. Expect horrendous lag and inconsistent performance. Frames are locked at 30fps in competitive multiplayer. Bungie obviously doesn’t care that 60fps and dedicated servers are the de facto minimums for competitive play. There’s no justification for its decision.

    Destiny 2 is a cash grab. Fans zealously proclaim the “little things” Bungie changed. Yet, it’s the big things that hold Destiny back. With decades of game development experience and billions in revenue, Bungie still can't create the Destiny it promised. Yet, it arrogantly expects fans to fork out their hard-earned cash. If you didn’t like the original, you won't like this one either.    … Expand

    Strikes have borderline no value, the raid was somewhat challenging but with effort and marginal common sense beatable, and the fact that I only had to play once, maybe twice a week for the weekly resets are more annoying than anything else. Once you hit level cap you have a boring grind for tokens to hopefully obtain a marginally decent weapon.

    Crucible (the PvP) will always have balancing issues, and if you can look past the imperfect nature of the game I suppose that is one of the few redeeming qualities.

    Overall I wasted my money on this, and will not be purchasing the DLC nor a Destiny 3. I have a few friends that give the excuse that "its a work in progress," and my answer to them is their being conned if they think Destiny will somehow overhaul with massive changes that gamers actually want.

Sure it might be a lot of fun for many, and it isn't close to being a 0 game (7-8 at most), but if people keep buying into this kind of **** and handing their money to companies that advocate these ****ty ass policies, we're gonna be taking more and more of the same crap in the future, and the industry is gonna be sinking faster and faster.

    So please, before you go buying this incomplete, full of bugs, and DLC heavy money sucking game, recapacitate and think about how you want the industry to be in the future. If you want to keep getting incomplete expansions on full retail price, then buy this piece of **** throw your money down a well if it makes you happy.    … Expand

    That´s how Destiny should be 3 years ago. What we have here is a 1.5 version. Campaign mode can be done in 7 hours. I did not have any multi-player lag issue but if you are not playing in party mode, it´s extremely BORING.
    There was no need of stabbing consumers again with 60 dollars of trash, Destiny owners should have had this game for FREE.

But the long story short is that they did a few things right, but got the big things wrong. I could hardly get enough of the near-addictive fun of D1. The PVE is somewhat improved, although it's somehow quickly gotten more boring, more quickly (partially because the exotics don't seem as exotic, and the public events are extremely repetitive). But the real downfall in my view in the PVP. The most powerful -- and only -- weapon in PVP is now team-shotting. That's it. There's no going out there and being a hero or carrying your team or surviving a 2-v-1 . . . if you go up against a fireteam as a bunch of solos, you get destroyed, period. It's made PVP so boring.

    Smaller issues that make matters worse include: the game randomly puts you in whatever playlist it wants, and all playlists are 4v4. There's no Rumble. The Competitive playlists take too long. Everyone uses a very narrow variety of weapons because most weapons aren't effective with the incredibly slow ttk. The power ammo economy slows down the game and makes it less exciting. Sniper rifles have been utterly gutted. Players can be too easily shot out of their supers -- and supers charge too slowly. And perhaps the worst thing about these secondary problems is that it narrows the skill gap between players, with unreliable weapons (and massive flinch) that levels the playing field between novices and skilled players. Gunfights feel a lot more random and out-of-control.

    All of this leads to lots of blowouts, where teams and team-shotting are absolutely dominant, and solo players like me just have a miserable experience.

    D1 was addictive, exciting, and fun -- allowing for lots of different playstyles and strategy. D2 narrows it down to one: have a fireteam, or lose most every game. Hate it.

    Only good thing is that D2 has helped me kick my addiction to D1. I'll be moving on to another franchise now. My prediction is that Bungie is losing players fast, and they'll have to make massive changes to these mechanics, or risk killing the entire franchise. Solid PVE should earn D2 around a 7 or 8, but the tragically awful PVP drags that down to a flat 1. Such bad decisions on display here.    … Expand

I forced my roommate to buy D2 because I knew it would be the same BS, and it is generally. They made improvements in the story, but the game just isn't that great. I would recommend a different game for sure. Don't waste your time or money.

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

    What disappoints me the most about Destiny 2 is that it is one of those games that gets better with time. It's been almost a year and we've gotten the second, SECOND DLC and it still feels like the same lackluster game since release. I personally got kicked out of at least 10 clans for inactivity because I would stop playing Destiny 2 for periods of time from being burnt out.

    After you beat the campaign and all the little side missions that don't do a whole lot for you. You can complete weekly activities every week. Mind you, these are the same activities EVERY week with maybe minor changes in constraints depending on what it is. There is no way to keep a fanbase around if you expect them to rinse and repeat the same content every week.

    As for the DLCs, dont even bother. Both of them are a waste of money. As they do offer new cosmetics, weapons, etc. They still lack the magic word of this review; content. For example, the raid of the first DLC takes place in the same place as the base game raid. I beat both DLCs combined in roughly 5 hours including the raids. The rewards aren't even that satisfactory to keep you coming back like Destiny had me coming back for the Vault of Glass.

    Critics will lie to you, I wont. Destiny 2 looks beautiful, but that's where the green grass stops growing. If you want a game that will keep shoving the same content in your face every week with the inclusion of DLC and microtransactions then Destiny 2 is right up your alley. I am personally disappointed in the sequel to what did become a good with time. Destiny 2 however, I feel will have a darker fate. Bungie has let me down for the last time.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok. Here goes. Before I start I would say this - I have spent hundreds of hours playing Destiny 1, I got myself all the DLC for D1 and with the exception of last one (the rise of iron) I enjoyed them equally and consider it worth my money. Stepping into D2 I was excited which later turned into frustration as it would seem that Bungie did not learn anything from D1 and went on its task to reinvent the wheel from the start:
    1.) Shooting mechanics and gameplay - these guys made halo and have already proved themselves in terms of gun play. No issues here at all Bungie. This might be your only saving grace.
    2.) Story – You have at least 4 major plots to cover (one for each race of enemies) and then there is the big question of the big balloon hanging in the sky (the traveler). The pace at which you are telling us the story, you are going to run out of time and sequels to finish them up. Example: Using D2 to introduce new chars – Garry and his cabal dogs (btw they are the only new enemy type in D2) and a completely new story that asks more questions than it answers. Do we know more about the traveler now? No we don’t. Where are the Vex from, what do they want, how are they so powerful? Why have the Fallen’s united , Variks & Crow what are they upto ? and don’t for a second think that you are done with Hive / Taken. The Taken King DLC did explain a lot (thanks to Mylin & Byf) but you have again left the story hanging with lot of questions than answers. You guys need to make your story coherent and give it some depth, char development etc. Of all your mistakes, incoherent story, is the biggest one and it reflects in all your side plots as well –
    DESIGN THE STORY & GAMEPLAY IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT MAKES THE PLAYER ASK MEANINGFUL QUESTIONS LIKE - WHO IS THIS COOL LOOKING EXO? HOW DOES SHE KNOW SO MUCH? WHAT IS SHE GUARDING? WHO IS SHE TALKING TO ON THE COMM. LINK? HOW CAN SHE TELEPORT FROM ANYWHERE? HOW IS SHE CONNECTED TO THE TRAVELER?
    And then your answer: THE EXO STRANGER THANKS THE PLAYER FOR FIGHTING THE BAD GUYS AND GIVES THE PLAYER HER RIFLE. THAN DISAPPEARS , FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I am telling you Bungie you do not have enough time to warp up important story lines let alone the sub plots (I count 15 so far). We are two sequels and five paid DLCs down and you still haven’t told us anything. Every sequel / DLC introduces a new sub plot (yes I am calling the story of D2 a sub plot) that distracts from the main story and does not answer any of important questions we had from D1. We can have major plot related questions and still have fresh content – a DLC where the guardian take a journey inside the Traveler. Osiris DLC could have been used to answer questions about the VEX, it could have told us how they as a species got involved in all this, why worship the darkness. Instead you introduced a new boss and new story for Mercury. Osiris is a most powerful warlock that will go to any lengths to get results (in this case saving humanity), but in the end you made him look like some old hobo who does not care for any of this and in the end goes on a pilgrimage into the VEX gate to explore new world, with no information on VEX shared with the vanguard. He even says to his ghost in the end of DLC that “……..we have all the time in the world”, I get VEX alternate timeline & time travel and all crap, but is that the kind of tempo you want to build up as a narrative telling your player base that there is no urgency and you have all the time in the world. BTW no raid in this DLC, Raid layer does not qualify as new content.    … Expand

    Here's Destiny 2 which is the same crap with a small story campaign that has no direction. Really what is the basis for Destiny? What is the point of what these Guardians do? They're just Guardians for the sake of being Guardians?? This series could have been so much more than this ****

    Really Disappointed in this series and it has lost its chance to redeem itself after 2 attempts.

    There is no real reason for me to be interested in Destiny 3. Bungie try something else so back to the drawing board.

    Luke Smith, the game's director, said in the spring that he doesn't want Destiny to be a "time sink," which is why Destiny 2 feels as though it was built for the casual player. Those complaining about it are those who have thousands of hours into the first Destiny. And, you're probably asking yourself "How can anyone play a game that long without getting bored?" Well, because Destiny had elements that made the rewards different each time, giving a false sense of added content. But, it worked. Static rolls in Destiny 2 to help control balance changed this, making every duplicate weapon or piece of armor that you get worthless. Yes; you get legendary shards for dismantling them, but you'll soon realize that you have more than you know what to do with.

    In short, the content of Destiny 2 is great; and, there actually is a story. What a shock. But, there is no lasting incentive for people to keep playing. There simply is no end game and, eventually, no reason to play.    … Expand

    destiny 2 is a lazy reboot of a cancelled expansion by bungie, they thought they could ride into the sunset with minimal effort put into this game, and they failed miserably. they had three years of feedback from destiny 1, and they threw all of that out the window because they only thought of profits and know they can abuse their fanbase without any sort of hard repercussions.    … Expand

The loot is supposed to be unique, not the same thing with a different light level. It's uninspiring, boring, it's **** I'm also aware that the 'Curse of Osiris' expansion offered so little in content it is unbelievable. Also, locking things from DLC behind the eververse is pathetic. The content from DLC that YOU the consumer spent money on, is locked behind another pay wall. This game is laughable. Is it fun to play PvP, kill some bad guys, and look somewhat cool? Yes for a few minutes. The base game is not, and never will be worth the price tag of $60, and I shouldn't look to expansions and DLC for something good and better. The base game should be the full package, not half of it. it's insulting.… Expand

With the new weapon slot changes they effectively made 90% of my heavy weapons useless. This is not how you make good games. You don’t make a good game by taking things away from players after they’ve been using them for a year.. you don’t make a good game by completely changing the rules half way through its lifespan. And, yes, I’ve heard they did this with D1, but I had the good fortune of getting tired of D1 within a month of its release. With no one on my friends list to play it with and no way to matchmake for raids or strikes I had exhausted that game within 1 months time and sold it. D2 comes around and I have more friend playing it. More features to make it easier to group up and actually get things done in the game. A lot of solid improvements overall from D1’s launch, but as time goes on I see more and more how lost Bungie is with this game. A company that has no concept of basic rpg gameplay or mechanics. They keep throwing things at the wall hoping things will stick, but the only good things that stick are little flakes of gold stuck in handfuls of cow dung.

    Seriously, I'm at the point where Destiny 2 has me emotionally drained. The moment I hit A to load up Character Select I feel all emotion and drive ripped from my heart and soul because I know I'm just making futile progress that is going to get pushed back in 3 months and hard-reset come next year. It's exhilarating to feel my head cloud up with this apathetic nothingness as I throw myself back down to the soil to farm for shiny purple and yellow candy. All jokes aside, Destiny 2 has one of the worst, most gaslighting gameplay loops in the history of the gaming industry. I don't doubt that Bungie wanted to make something good, but I laugh with boastful incredulity at anyone that says they are still making something good.

    Easily the most despicable and draconian of the Gear Score Loot Shooters, Destiny 2 exists as an Uroboros that is constantly sunsetting more content then it bothers to offer up. With occasional filler content that floods the Vanguard Playlist to make up for the utter lack of Strikes and a PvP that has been a rotting carcass since launch, yet somehow dictates the developers' actions 100%, Destiny 2 may as well be called Destiny 2050. Bungie constantly and consistently pumps nothing but temporary content that gets worse and worse by the season, ironically improving their storytelling as their ability to actually develop fun things to do deteriorates. It's honestly a miracle that this game isn't dead already because better games have turned to dust over lighter crimes against their communities than Destiny 2 commits on a weekly basis.

    Bungie is nothing but a name at this point and it isn't a name you should bother sticking around for. Their content quality is going the way of SOE, even if we don't have a particular figure to really blame for it yet. The continued persistence of the player population seems to be out of a genuine love for this universe, it's just a shame that Bungie has proven time and time again that they can't deliver on Destiny's potential.    … Expand

Then you start noticing how repetitive the enemies are, and how incredibly generic everything about the world is. Then you visit another planet and it feels like a repainted version of the other planet. You quickly start collecting loot that is almost identical to your existing gear, except with a couple stat numbers increased. PvE is an agonizing mindless grind, like eating stale Cheetos for some meager satisfaction when you have nothing else to eat, but it leaves a nasty taste in your mouth. PvP is a laughably unbalanced joke maybe included to appease Halo fans expecting something much different from the once great developer Bungie. Destiny appears to be many things, but appearances can be deceiving. The planets you explore are very pretty, but so linear. Most locations are like the most simplistic three-lane Call of Duty map design, scaled out by a thousand. Exploration is very linear. The lore, plot, and sense of atmosphere, are extremely thin, and lacking any soul. I would summarize this online-only game by saying that is a solid 6 to 8 hours of free entertainment, until you start gagging on the stale repetitive gameplay, and refuse to be strung along by this barebones game covered in glitter (or glimmer)… Also, the first 30 minutes are so similar to the original Destiny, that I honestly thought I had accidentally loaded up the first Destiny.… Expand

El pvp es solo supers, revolvers que te matan de un disparo, cheaters, francotiradores y lanzacohetes con rastreo y hechizeros y titanes que se pasan todo el rato volando y tirando mierda. 2.

    2. El pve es mas roto que el pvp, si eres un jugador que disfruta jugar juegos en solitario, este juego no es para ti, pasaras la mayor parte de tu tiempo estancado en asaltos ocaso de 1290 por que no podras hacer ocasos legendarios de 1320 ni mucho menos maestro de 1350 y ni muchisimo menos gran maestro debido a que tardaras 1 a 2 horas en pasar una sola mision intentando matar enemigos comunes que te aguantan 2 cargadores completos con modificaciones en donde no pararan de espamear granadas, te rushearan como si fuera el fin del mundo, enemigos mas fuertes con escudos que una vez rotos lo recargaran en 3 segundos sino los oneshoteas en el momento(lo cual no podras) que ademas solo pueden ser rotos con armas de un cierto elemento y que solo puedes llevar 2 y que en ciertas misiones hay enemigos que tienen los 3 elementos por lo que no podras matar a uno de ellos sin gastar municion pesada(escencial para el jefe final) y que suelen salir muy poco en misiones de alto rango ademas que ser misiones de rango alto no te garantiza buen loot, de echo es malisimo, solo objetos en su mayoria azules y morados con pesimas estadisticas y baja potencia(necesaria para salir del cap limite 1320, en el cual sigo estancado a pesar de dedicarle varias horas), sin mencionar que todos los enemigos incluidos los comunes son esponjas de daño que te resisten cargadores enteros de armas fuertes y claro ellos pueden matarte extremedamente rapido y tu los matas extremadamente lento. Bungie creo un juego que no puedes disfrutar solo ya que todas sus misiones te obliga a jugarlas en grupo y es gracioso ya que habilitan matchmaking en ocasos de rango bajo pero lo desabilitan en rangos mas altos, entonces quien entiende a estos primates? Osea no puedes disfrutar solo y tampoco en grupo a menos que tengas clan que hablen tu idioma y no sean toxicos, ya que por lo que eh visto y oido, la comunidad de jugadores de destiny es asquerosamente toxica y nada amigable con jugadores nuevos. 3. Raids, son el contenido end game que nunca eh jugado por que no tengo como y abarcan casi todo el mundo del juego junto con las mazmorras lo que significa que no podras optar a las mejores cosas por que no estan habilitadas para ser completadas solo, o sea estas obligado a jugar con otros y de la forma que ellos quieren que juegues y no como tu quieres jugar. 4. Si te quejas que EA mete microtransacciones a todo, pues dejame decirte que destiny es mucho peor ya que todo su juego son microtransacciones y que sin ellas te aseguro que ni siquiera saldrias de la Tierra que es el primer mundo donde apareces y son varios mundos y cada uno de ellos es un dlc por el que tienes que pagar y sino pagas, no tienes acceso a las misiones y contenido end game, armaduras, armas y mods necesarias para el contenido de mayor dificultad, en resumen, sino pagas por los mil y un dlc's que tiene destiny 2 practicamente no haces nada y no tienes acceso a absolutamente nada, ni misiones, ni raids, ni mazmorras, ni armas y armaduras fuertes y mucho menos contenido exotico.

    Si realmente quieres disfrutar de un buen juego, no compres el destiny 2, yo la cague en grande, pero tu no la cagues... Gastaras mucho y recibiras poco a cambio. Solo podras acceder al mundo de destiny 2 pagando los mil y un dlc que tiene y los mil y un mas que vendran a futuro, no puedes disfrutar del juego en solitario por que esta configurado como un juego social pero a un nivel extremo, para conseguir buen loot tendras que grindear la misma mision una y otra vez y rezar para que te toque algo bueno ya que grindear en los eventos del mundo no vale la pena, el loot es pesimo incluido el de eventos heroicos.

    Destiny 2 is more accessible to the neophytes than the first game was, but still complex enough to get long-time players to invest hundreds of hours in the universe. The story of the campaign is less confused than in the original, but it’s not exactly good either. It went from painstakingly bad to ordinary, which is at least an improvement. Destiny 2 is the gaming equivalent of a Michael Bay movie.

    Destiny 2 is one of the most enjoyable games I’ve played this year, and tackles one of the biggest issues with the first game. Featuring a stellar, albeit easy, single-player campaign, excellent combat and class mechanics, and the most enjoyable cooperative multiplayer I’ve seen in a shooter since Gears of War 4, Destiny 2 is a must-buy.
