If you expected D2 to expand on the culmination of 3 years of work, you were blind to reality. It's been widely known that the teams that build the games are separate.

Yes, because that is how sequels work. If they can't pull it off Bungie should not have used the word sequel. The huge backlash is because they did not deliver a sequel even though they were telling us they were. That fault lands squarely on the shoulders of Bungie and no one else.

It is a sequel to vanilla D1, maybe even up to TTK.
-
Even if I agreed that D2 was a sequel to any of the versions of D1 which I do not, the idea that you can create a sequel to half or less of a franchise is silly in itself and does not earn the thing produced the title of sequel. Spin-off maybe. Sequel no.
-
Even if you want to compare it to year 1 D2 has less of everything and is in no way a sequel to even vanilla destiny 1.

Bearbeitet von YOUZA_LiL_BULLiE: 1/16/2018 8:29:12 PMYo... Stop comparing D2 to Vanilla Destiny 1. That's circular logic and faulty reasoning at its finest. Destiny 2 was supposed to be a [b][u]sequel[/u][/b]. So, whatever milestones reached in Destiny 1 should have rolled over to Destiny 2 with much more. That's what a sequel is. [b]A continuation.[/b] War for the Planet of the Apes didn't go back to when Caesar was a baby and give us mundane details about his upbringing. Because that wouldn't be a sequel would it? We saw all that in Dawn. How is that continuing the story of what already happened in Rise? Vanilla Destiny 1 shouldn't even be considered a valid argument for D2's production. It's a deductive fallacy. Period. [b][u]That video is for you, by the way. So you can shut up with that nonsense.[/u][/b]

When did production end on you apes movies? How long until the release of the next? They were not in production at the same time so you argument is apples to oranges.

The game is a continuation of D1. Just because they didn't put everything from D1 into D2 does not change the fact that it is a sequel. DLC is extra content. That extra content rarely if ever makes it into sequels. This is nothing new in the gaming world. Planet of the apes is a film, a self contained story. It doesn't have DLC to take into consideration in a sequel. I've been here since the beginning, so I don't need some youtube video to tell me what I already know. I'm not even defending bungie, I think it should have continued after all the DLC as well, but reality is far from fantasy. The games were being worked on simultaneously. There is no way that they could have reasonably put everything from a game that (without DLC) wasn't complete, into the new game the other team was working on. Sorry you can't see that, but it isn't my problem.

And they refuse to communicate with each other in any way? Do you really believe that? 😂
-
Communication and implementation are totally separate. As we're seeing now, the live team has a vastly different vision of destiny than the original programmers.
-
Ummm...it's nothing new that Bungie is very bad at communicating. Both, within their own company as well as with their player base.
-
Your point being? If you admit that communication is lacking, how could you ever expect the different teams to be working together?
-
Well, that's called being professional my friend. And Bungie is far from that.
