There are almost no direct comparisons to Destiny 2 that are remotely close to being as good. The closest comparison would probably be Warframe, but even that differs a good bit because of 3rd person and being almost entirely PvE. The reason Destiny 2 is trash right now is because there is no other game like it that people can go to when it’s in a bad place. Yes, there are a million other games out there, but many people are addicted to the FPS looter shooter with a variety of modes to play. So they are essentially stuck on Destiny if they only want to play a FPSMMORPG looter shooter. I love games like Borderlands and the like, but they don’t scratch that same itch like looting a gun in PvE, and then going into a PvP match with it to see how good it is. Look how COD has stepped up its game in the face of other great games in the genre. Look how Ubisoft vastly improved the Assassins Creed games because of the sheer amount of good RPGs available. Franchises that were in a terrible place became good again once they were no longer the sole dominant force of the genre. Destiny needs real competition to be great. Otherwise, Bungie will continue to stick to doing the absolute minimum to reach into our pockets.
