Content drought?! Or unrealistic player expectations?

I think the problem with Destiny 2 coincides with player expectation. I think most people coming from D1 were expecting an amount of content equal to 3 YEARS of D1 to be in D2. Which is an unrealistic expectation for a game that is basically a restart to the Destiny franchise. Everyone expected WAY TOO MUCH and when they didn't get it they played for awhile and left. I have no problem with the "content drought" we are supposedly in. Too me THIS IS EXPECTED. This is basically vanilla Destiny. Only better. A few changes to how things work would be okay with me. But the content "amount" seems about right for a NEW Vanilla launch. The only thing that wasn't supposed to be "vanilla" about this game is how the story was supposed to be canonically linked to D1. Other than that... this is a vanilla restart to Destiny. Just better. That is what I think. Thank you. This was my reply to the youtube video in the link above.

  • I've read through a quite a few comments on this topic and here's my 2 cents. If you want to start the blame game ...the buck stops with Bungie not Activision. They signed the contract with all its terms and conditions for MULTI MILLIONS of $$$. No one forced them. As for expectations...marketing and its PR team. Slapping a giant 2 on at the end of Destiny would probably lead most people to believe they were getting a sequel not a re write. Also allowing importing of your original character probably wasn't the smartest thing by bungie as a non sequel move. But hey it's just cosmetics right... Game play has been rewritten by the new engine bungie are using...its ponderously slow. About the only thing I find better is the mantle save and that's because they have nerfed most jumps to need it. As for having a quick map...I get stuck in a black screen or told I can't even go to the tower often enough it's not ground breaking. Take a look around the tower...all you will see are clones. Apart from a few daring individuals with 'questionable ' taste in shaders. Same guns, same same. Where is my space magic, my worth while coveted loot. All I see are a few bewildered looking souls aimlessly staring at the gunsmith. It maybe now a game for the more casual 'pop in pop out player' but it's not the Destiny I loved to play hours on over 3 years. It's not a matter of content. They nerfed too much of its heart.
